Camel is back? Get out!

Finally the gods of fashion and trends have turned their heads to the goddess of New York in the ’90s: Elaine Benes. The New York Times has recently dug deeper into the Seinfeld leading lady’s style signatures: floral skirts, blazers and jumpsuits, and found them all trolling about downtown Manhattan. [New York Times]

The contestants of the upcoming cycle of America’s Next Top Model (we’ve lost count of what season they’re on) have been revealed. It’s a choice between a non-existent waist, a lesbian Hooters waitress and a 21-year-old mother and 11 others. Should be entertaining. [Racked and Jezebel]

Karl Lagerfeld will be in New York on the first day of Fashion Week, receiving Couture Council’s special Fashion Visionary Award at Avery Fisher Hall on September 10th. [Daily Front Row] Read more »

The New York fashion pack crowded around mayor Michael Bloomberg at a press conference where he delivered new details about Fashion’s Night Out. Among his self-aware quips, we learned that 1000 shops are participating and the largest fashion show in New York history, with 150 models and 1,500 spectators, will take place. Anna Wintour, according to eyewitnesses, actually looked happy. [The Cut]

New York: Betsey Johnson’s technicolor gunslingers

By Jennifer Campbell | February 15th, 2010 | 9:46 am

Betsey Johnson is never about trends, which she made perfectly clear at yesterday’s runway show, where she sent spring looks–this spring–out with her fall collection. The show had a Wild West feel, but it was more Blazing Saddles-meets-Warhol than serious Western–think bright hues and pop prints showing frontier pistols and saloon dice. Kelly Osbourne opened the show in a bandit kerchief and later appeared as the mustachioed banker–albeit wearing a puff-sleeve skirt suit and toting a little dog and finally, as a saloon girl in a feathered fascinator and full-length tiered black dress.

Jonny Johansson, the founder of Acne, has said he would like his label to be recognized for more than their slim fitting jeans. The brand is also home to a full clothing line as well as a magazine Johansson started called Acne Paper. This collective began with Johansson’s past dabbling in furniture design, music and fashion—with the full name of Ambition to Create Novel Expressions an indicator of the far-reaching creative abilities of the man behind the jeans company. A collaboration with Alber Elbaz has taken Acne into a luxury standard and higher price point—giving the company its much-deserved appreciation in the design community and building its rep.

Although not the most tech-savvy of designers (her assistant tweets and emails for her), Betsey Johnson is looking to cross over into TV sales on the QVC network. We hope there are cartwheels involved. [Racked]

The iconic designer on her new Archive collection for Opening Ceremony.

How did you pick the pieces that you reproduced for your Betsey Johnson Archive collection?
“Well, I felt that the punk label– you know vintage dealers seem to call it the punk label— it was when we opened from 1978 through about 1990. It was cotton and it had kind of like a Keith Richards-esquey self-photograph of myself on this label, very inexpensive very punky, very, you know, funky because we had very little money.

The discussion of men’s brows continues. James Dean comes in at number 2 on this list, after Robert Pattinson. What? And why is Zac Efron there? And unfortunately for Janine at BeautyGeeks, the Rock didn’t make the cut. This is clearly a hot-button issue. [Beauty Blogging Junkie] Read more »
