Fashion Week Recap Part I: The Celebs

September 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I am so fucking sick of Sarah Palin and her bad hair and her scary hybrid of hometown politics and KKKhristiananity. So, let’s talk about Lilo and Ronson at the tents at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Spring 2009 in Bryant Park. What else? Too much rock spawn–including the return of Kelly Osborn (skinny!), Perry Ferrell (blech), and a lot of Gossip Girl. Fuck talking–let’s look!

Paul Banks (of Interpol) with Helena Christianson. Even rock stars with adolescent acne can hang with models.

Rock star spawn sighting 1.  Peaches Geldof who wore that dumb headband all week

Rock star spawn 2. Dj Sam Ronson (and Shane from the L Word doppelganger) and “gal pal” LiLo at sis Charlotte Ronson’s show

Rock spawn 3: Daughter who once was popular in pop music herself–well, sorta, like with people who have moved on to My Chemical Romance these days–Kelly Osbourne, now slimmed down and with model beau

Finally the most tragic rock star (really a rock GOD) spawn: Sean Lennon, why? Why? Was the breakup with Miho Hatori that bad? Did you trade weights with Kelly Osborne? Did you eat the other half of her at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame afterparty?

Speaking of Rock Stars, Mick Rock and Perry Farrell at the old CBGB’s space which is now John Varvatos’s store. Dear god, Ferrall, come on just give up. They already talk about you (and your old band, Jane’s Addiction) used to tour with the parents on Gossip Girl back in the 80s when the hot dad’s band was big. This means it’s time to retire and have spawn who will grow up to go to fashion shows.

Finally, MK got her way and made everyone else get up and move because she needed to sit next to Chase Crawford and Jessica Szor from Gossip Girl. Man, Gossip Girl peeps be  all over fashion week. Hmm, actors who play rich young fashionable aristocrats in New York society become actual rich young fashionable aristocrats in New York society–how fucking meta.

Sonic Youth Art show coming up!

And for the hell of it, inspired by this new information, I thought I would share my new favorite pic from Fashion Week featuring Kim Gordon AND Ryan Adams, an unlikely fashionista.

Adams dresses kind of like Ray and I did in college:

Speaking of Ray and our old Progressive selves, uh, do note how I also have not said anything about how Obama killed in Washington, DC. KILLED. Oh whoops.

Life During Wartime: Winter Fashion Week 2008

February 4, 2008 · Leave a Comment

This weekend featured a very important sporting event and some pretty expensive commercials (featuring Justin Timberlake, a very creepy baby, frightened furry animals, and a lot of cars). Meanwhile, on the heated political front, we all got to watch the  pre-SUPER TUESDAY pitches from presidential candidates. Go vote tomorrow!

One phenonemon going on in my own city that I ignored completely until today is the New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, currently taking over Bryant Park. A biannual event, this season is my favorite, as it showcases collections for the upcoming fall (in this case, fall 2008). Layers! Dark colors! Fuzzy sweaters! Long coats! Scarves! Boots! I love cold weather attire, if not the actual cold itself.

Fashion writers have been talking about the “return to rock n’ roll” of this particular fashion week (Joan Jett was there!), now into day four. Well, I’m still waiting for Marc Jacobs (how many hours late this year?), Heatherette (always a hoot),  and Zac Posen (my favorite!) but so far, what I have picked up on is a 1930’s and 40’s international life-during wartime aesthetic.

Diane Von Furstenberg played it safe but sweet with a 1940’s war bride in Britain look. She’s still in her slip because she had to run to the bomb shelter before breakfast.

Rag and Bone kept it blatently militaristic

Rock & Republic (Victoria Beckham’s fav label) had Evil Nazi Spy attire going on. Looks a bit like the Nazi who hunted Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, yes? Actually it’s supposed to be “Gangster chic” but I get more German sadist vibe.

Y-3 choose more of a Maoist drab thing

Meanwhile on the celebrity front (which my dear friend Astrid of Getty Images is busily covering every night this week), my favorite celeb shot far (seen watching the Miss Sixty show):

Jesus Chloe, could you look any angrier? Then again, if I had to look at this I might make that face too:

Dear god! Featuring a brand name on tights?
