This streeter knows that fashion is about having fun and she is doing just that in her dramatic flouncy skirt and star spangled shirt. (Pairing it all with work boots keeps things from getting too saccharine.)

London street style: Tulle time

Fashion news: Donna Karan opens up at Parsons, André Leon Talley joins the ANTM crew and Burberry goes 3D
Photography by Peter Stigter
Donna Karan addressed the effect of the Internet and early fashion shows on the industry. She told the crowd at Parsons The New School for Design last week: “When I launched my company, the shows were in April and May, now they’re in February. So my question to this industry, and I say it to myself for my own company: ‘Why am I showing clothes in February?’ I don’t want the consumer to see next week what is going to be in stores in Fall, because it’s confusing.” [My Fashion Life]
André Leon Talley has signed on to film three seasons of America’s Next Top Model. Replacing Miss J on the judging panel, the Vogue editor and caftan fan brings with him 13 custom-made Chado Ralph Rucci robes and tendency toward sublime ridiculousness. [The Cut] Read more »

Fashion news: Rodarte outfits the Olympics, MK and Ashley launch a denim line and Sammi “Sweetheart” might walk at Bryant Park

Surprise – Rodarte gets their own fashion show at the Olympics. The New York Times magazine asked Kate and Laura Mulleavy to design 13 outfits for athletes, including figure skaters, a ski jumper and snowboarders. Figure skater Johnny Weir will be decked out in head-to-toe crocheted Rodarte; we’re curious to see what the athletes will be wearing as they compete outdoors. [Racked]
Adding to their whirlwind month, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have launched a new denim line, Textile Elizabeth and James. Launching in March, the three-jean collection is ‘70s inspired, both in style and name: there’s the Hendrix, the Stevie and the Joni, all featuring a hippie twist, be it through a high-waist or bellbottom leg. The jeans will be sold exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Intermix with plans to expand the collection to a full lifestyle collection in the fall. [WWD] Read more »

Fashion news: McQueen’s alien shoe inspiration, Marc Jacobs’ French honours, and how not to throw a fashion show

Do the shoes on the left look familiar? An intrepid commenter on Fashionista has uncovered the secret source of Alexander McQueen’s alien footwear—a video for ’70s rock band The Tubes’ “White Punks on Dope.” [Fashionista]
André Leon Talley smack talks Golden Globes style: “When you start watching red-carpet shows at 6:00 p.m. and don’t see a stunning dress until 9:00 p.m. — Julianna Margulies’s ruby paillette crepe robe de style with cutouts, by Narciso Rodriguez — it’s sad what passes for style in Hollywood.” [Vogue, via The Cut] Read more »

Video: Erdem Spring 2010
“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” So says Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. Even for Erdem himself, florals are nothing new. And yet, when a designer consistently does flowers as beautifully as Moralioglu, it’s hard to complain. On his clothes, they always look fresh in vibrant colours or the intricate, near 3-D embroidery of the opening look. A column dress in a black and white floral print was simple and stunning. Lace is another regular in Erdem’s collections, this time appearing in white covering a belted trench and black overlaying vivid blues and corals. [YouTube]

Dispatches from London: LFW Avsh Alom, Aquascutum, and Twenty8Twelve
I made it onto Garance Doré! I can’t believe it. Besides being completely and utterly starstruck (she is the nicest lady, and so beautiful!), her comments about how London street fashion is much more cutting-edge (and borderline trashy, in some cases) than in New York, where things seem to be more polished and often very brand-driven, is definitely on the mark.
In any case, I’m loving some of the crazy fashion, which was at its sparkly extreme at yesterday’s Avsh Alom presentation. I have never seen so much glittery half-shaved hair, one-false-eyelashed craziness, and ridiculous platform shoes in one room in my entire life! Read more »

Video: Matthew Williamson’s return to London Fashion Week
Matthew Williamson’s Spring 2010 collection contained barely a hint of the flowy boho that made him famous. The parade of skinny pants, sharp chartreuse jackets and body-con dresses in arty prints and wild colours–that much hasn’t changed–was harder and more structured than previous efforts. Williamson also seemed thrilled to be showing at home–that way, he says, his parents can make it to the show. Video after the jump. Read more »

Dispatches from London: LFW opening weekend
Welcome to London Fashion Week! After religiously checking the weather for days before my departure, this fashionista has been blessed with dry weather and sunshine—shocking for this city.
No major Anna Wintour sightings yet—although she is reported to be here covering the shows for the 25th anniversary of the British Fashion Council. I did spy her at the fall shows last February in New York, though, so I know exactly what the tiny bobbed one looks like in person. I’m keeping my peepers peeled! Read more »
