Lynn Yaeger at Ralph Lauren
Lynn Yaeger stopped to chat outside yesterday’s Ralph Lauren show. Sometimes I see fashion week regulars on the street after fashion week (month?) is over, and they’re just wearing something basic. Not Lynn Yaeger! Even if she’s just walking down 8th Street in the Village, she’s just as elaborately, beautifully dressed as she is here. She obviously lives and breathes fashion. Head to toe shot with Lanvin bag after the jump. (more…)

Chanel SS2011
Some of the most glamorous women in the world converged upon the Grand Palais in Paris last week for the huge, blockbuster Chanel show that won rave reviews. As ever with Karl Lagerfeld’s shows, many guests wore Chanel from head to toe in a show of support (that verges on adoration) of the French master designer.

Donna Karan SS2011
Quintessential New York designer Donna Karan received rave reviews for her last collection, and her latest show this past Monday was a big draw on the fashion week circuit. Chic business attire was the look for this weekday show.

“Greige” is slated to be the It color for fall 2010, as with this grayish-beige dress with sculptural folds, bag and knotted sandals. (more…)

Prabal Gurung SS2011
Prabal Gurung has been named one to watch by many influential fashion editors, and his show for spring, full of bright, color blocked looks and high tech materials, lived up to his promise. A number of high-power fans, buyers and stylists came to the show.

Ann Demeulemeester
Ann Demeulemeester’s modern goth aesthetic is often described as edgy and avant garde; the same description could also be applied to her fans. On the runway, the long, lean, black silhouettes of her fall 2010 collection were broken up by flashes of red patent leather detailing. Outside in the courtyard of the Couvent des Cordeliers, black, minimalist clothing was favored by many of the guests, too.
She has this androgynous petit gamin look that’s just fascinating. A good example of how the guests can really bring a designer’s vision to life at a fashion show.

Alexander Wang
A huge amount of buzz surrounded Saturday’s show by Alexander Wang, the fashion darling who’s built a multimillion-dollar clothing and accessories empire by the age of 25. A crowd of key fashion players came to the show, though the collection itself was disappointing compared to Wang’s previous seasons. The fabulous clothes on all the guests, however, were inspiration enough.

Ports 1961
Ports 1961 has gained more and more attention since the brand started showing in the Bryant Park tents at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week a few years ago. Designer Tia Cibani’s ethereal but practical designs attracted top editors and trendsetters to Thursday’s show.

On the runway, pale dove gray is wonderfully flattering and is emerging as a big color for fall 2010. (more…)

Marc by Marc Jacobs Show SS10
Though Marc by Marc Jacobs is an American brand, the clothes have this quirky chic that seems quintessentially Parisian – even more so now that Marc lives in Paris. Lynn Yaeger stood outside with one of her reporter colleagues, marveling at all the clothes going by. The show attracts a creative crowd that really sees fashion as a form of self-expression – including Yaeger herself.
Definitely one of Yaeger’s most fabulous outfits ever. Her sense of style is timeless – for instance, she’s been wearing oxfords, one of the big trends of the season, for years now, and the intarsia doggie detail on the corner of her sweater evoked the lions in the “Doctor Doolittle” theme of Anna Sui’s show – the show that would take place the day after this photo was taken.

Jason Wu Show SS10
What happens when you dress the First Lady? Your show is likely to be a veritable who’s who of the fashion world, as at Jason Wu’s show yesterday, where top editors, buyers, and socialites braved the rainy weather to catch the latest line by the up-and-coming designer.
Robbie Myers, editor in chief of Elle, often wears all black to the shows and always arrives perfectly coiffed. (more…)
Jeremy Scott at Revolve Clothing
The word “edgy” is certainly overused, especially when it comes to fashion. What passes for edge is often just an echo of something that was once edgy – but not so for Jeremy Scott. The proof? In the past, he’s pushed the envelope a little too far and became fashion’s bette noire, inspiring absolute loathing from the press. Style.com doesn’t even cover his shows anymore.
But true chic is often a misfit (see Lynn Yaeger and Patrick McDonald), and that’s where Scott doesn’t disappoint. His spring line is now carried on Forward at Revolve Clothing, a site that’s worth watching for up-and-coming designers. Most of his spring designs are actually wearable this time around, and some are truly inspired, like this Tulip Dress in Floral Flights ($435). In this economy, if you’re going to buy anything at all, why not buy something outrageous?
