TOMMY HILFIGER APPRECIATES THE KARDASHIAN DRAMA

Looks like Tommy Hilfiger wanted to get maximum press coverage at his New York Fashion week show so he invited Kourtney and Travis Barker and wrapped them up in clothes lavishly covered with his initials, and plopped them into the front row. They proceeded to smooch and cameras quickly appeared. You can also see Travis’s 16 year old daughter Alabama looking over dad’s shoulder. Tommy Hilfiger has always had a rather Ivy League image – kind of a lower budget Ralph Lauren. So he must be looking to attract a new element…

Dogs Fashion Week London Streetstyle

IT’S ALWAYS “FASHION WEEK” IN LONDON

Fashion Week London ended over a week ago, but that doesn’t mean the city’s inhabitants lack inspiration.This photo of a woman walking her nicely dressed dog on Bond Street was taken today and we were happy to see that London street style is still alive and flourishing…

Education Fashion Fashion Week Jaden Smith MSFTrep

JADEN SMITH PREFERS TO EDUCATE HIMSELF

Jaden Smith, 23, is showing off a suit from his own fashion collection, MSFTSrep, at the British Vogue party during London Fashion Week. We assume the odd name means “misfits republic” and he’s partners in the brand with sister Willow and a few friends. When he’s not designing, Jaden is skateboarding or making music. In 2016 he was the first male model to wear a skirt in the Louis Vuitton womenswear campaign – hence the skirt-like attachment to his pants above. Jaden is clearly smart and creative – it’s too bad he and his sister Willow don’t believe in higher education – no college for them.

coronavirus Face Mask Fashion Week Fendi Off-White

THE INEVITABILITY OF DESIGNER FACE MASKS

Face the facts – society is headed in this direction: face masks will become a necessity if you plan to leave the house, and they might as well look good while they are saving your life. Fendi already had this silk mask on the market for $270 long before the Coronavirus struck, so they are a step ahead. Off-white has a rather plain black mask available for $98. All these manufacturers need to do is update their masks with powerful germ filtering lining material. Fashion Week in Milan ended badly due to the encroaching virus. We can imagine many designers up all night preparing fabulous face masks for Paris Fashion Week…

IRINA SHAYK’S CATWALK RETURN MARRED BY CORONAVIRUS

Looks like Irina Shayk doesn’t want you to know how much fun she’s having in Milan during Fashion Week – she’s covering up on her last day. Irina’s been back at work modeling for all the shows in Europe and she’s happy to hang out with her friends again. No doubt her ex Bradley Cooper is at home babysitting their two year old daughter Lea. They’re sharing custody now so Irina can work again. The only drawback for Irina was the coronavirus scare in Milan that shut down some of the scheduled shows. Models left town in a hurry…

Fashion Fashion Week Men

ITALIAN MENSWEAR IS SUDDENLY A LOT MORE PLAYFUL

Some fashion shows are impossible to resist. Milan is presenting their menswear collections and the competition to be most original and edgy is at an all-time HIGH. Here’s an example of Magliano’s fall and winter 2020 collection for men! The not-so-typical model is wearing a framed painting on a chain around his neck and gloves attached to his belt. Note the strange waistline on the pants. Fun to look at.. It seems Milan is trying to catch up to Japanese fashion…

Fashion Week Red Carpet Streetstyle

WHO BUYS RED CARPET GOWNS, ANYWAY?

Just as we predicted, haute couture is on its last legs as Street Fashion barges to the front, and it’s ABOUT TIME! London Fashion Week had the usual runway shows, but they made a big deal out of Streetstyle Fashion (logically shown on the streets.) Designers like Vivienne Westwood, Roland Mouret, and Burberry presented their casual collections along with street smart up-and-coming designers. With Prada, Gucci, etc making so much money on distressed jeans, athletic wear, and sneakers – are red carpet gowns the dinosaurs of the fashion business?

Blonde Fashion Week Lookin' Good! Olivia Wilde

OLIVIA WILDE HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER

Olivia Wilde is in New York enjoying fashion week and she looks as good as any of the models! We were surprised to learn that Olivia is a natural blonde and she has always darkened her hair because she “felt more like a brunette.” As a blonde, she claims, people assumed she wasn’t very smart. She was smart enough to marry SNL comic Jason Sudeikis eight years ago , and they have two children.

Fashion Week Kaia Gerber Milan

KAIA GERBER IS ALREADY A BIG MONEY-MAKER

Kaia Gerber, 16, already looks like an old pro as she is escorted into the Alberta Ferretti show at Fashion Week in in Milan. Last year her mother Cindy Crawford did the Milan shows with her, but this year she’s on her own. Almost alone – she arrived in Milan with a friend. Kaia was such a hit on all the runways last year that she’s been invited back to do a lot of shows. With print jobs and so many Fashion Weeks in so many cities, she’s earning quite a bit of money for a high school Junior. Hopefully she won’t be too distracted to go to college…

Anna Wintour Fashion Week Queen Elizabeth

QUEEN ELIZABETH AND ANNA WINTOUR AGREE ON ONE THING

Here’s someone we never thought we’d see sitting in the front row at London Fashion Week! Queen Elizabeth got all dolled up for her foray into the fashion world. Actually she made a speech about the importance of new young designer talent and the economy. We can only IMAGINE the competition to sit next to the Queen. Anna Wintour may have pulled some strings. We wonder what they talked about…they have something in common – they both found a hairstyle they like and stick to it!
