Junko Shimada Show SS09

Friday, 2.30PM: In a rare moment of sunlight, I alight from the taxi which has taken me to the Ecole des Beaux Arts where the Junko Shimada show is to take place in an hour. Moments later, H (aka "my assistant" for today) arrives and we step through the hallowed doors.

"Rocky S, the very bright, young, talented fashion designer is one of Bollywoods ace fashion designers, talks to Nisha Chainani about none other than fashion and movies." reads the web.

"What prompted you to enter into the field of fashion designing?
From a very early age I was always interested in clothes and I always wanted to dress myself up. Then when I joined college I wanted to buy clothes all the time, give suggestions to people on what to wear and what looks nice and that kind of thing. My only mental preoccupation at that point of my life seemed to be clothes, clothes, clothes, so one day I decided to take this very haunting interest in fashion a step further and do a course in fashion designing and see how passionate and interested I really felt." from an interview on india visitin formation

"Rebellious. Rambunctious. Rocker. Rider. Michael Ball is anything but your average CEO. Rock & Republic began with a single, now legendary pair of jeans and in just six short years, Ball has transformed Rock & Republic into the most successful luxury denim brand in the world and a dominant player in the premium luxe lifestyle market." reads the website of Rock and Republic.  With an excellent use of Adobe flash, the Rock and Republic website is one of the best experiences we have had on the web. Who knows how it will load in Asia, but on the European chello.nl connection, it's very fast to load and has innovative navigation. We enjoyed the Runway show in the Women's Collection link which is very web 2.0 friendly.





Runway coverage by Bee-Shyuan Chang (lagatalista.blogspot.com):

Other designers may be more haute, edgy or sophisticated, but Rock & Republic's show is always an unabashed fun time. Some seasons the line's unwavering commitment to bombshell sexuality appears awkwardly out of sync, but with an aggressive sexuality theme currently running through London's fashion scene, Rock & Republic's Spring showing was on point. Models with sleek, shiny hair and smoky eyes stomped down the runway sporting sky-high stilettos and bandage dresses, all the things that highlight and exaggerate their otherworldly proportions. Ruffled minidresses- and we're talking mini- in black and white were scene-stealers especially on Chanel Iman and Du Juan. Sticking to the grey-scale theme,  the line also stayed true to their denim roots by showing jeans tight enough to be leggings with nouveau washes including a grey and white cracked finish that would be perfect with a basic tee.

VENEXIANA SS09 MBFW


Since its launch in 2003, Venexiana has built a house on over-the-top femininity for the socializing set. Think satin ruched dresses, Swarovski bedazzling and marabou trim. That said, her showing at New York Fashion Week did not disappoint. Looks veered heavily towards cocktail and evening wear in a muted palette of dusty pinks and shades of Prussian blues. Designer Kati Stern was originally an architect in Budapest before making the move to fashion, which perhaps explained the stiffer construction on some of the dresses with corsets holding everything tidy. Interestingly, the stronger looks were her flowing, cut on the bias dresses, including a floral floor-length stunner that looked more relevant to today's mobile woman. by Bee-Shyuan Chang.

Queen of the grown-up hipster, Karen Walker S/S '09

PICT0008.jpgPICT0009.jpgPICT0012.jpg


In spite of the torrential downpour, wet fashionistas lined up and waited for entrance to the Karen Walker show in lower Chelsea. Notables in the crowd included a predictably made-up Lynn Yaeger seated next to Mickey Boardman of Paper mag. The downtown magazine set was in the house with the Nylon magazine staff holding court near the end of the runway. The show started easy and relaxed and sustained the breezy tone throughout. Chambray basics and silk taffeta dresses cut in loose silhouettes and dropped shoulder sleeves looked perfectly ready for a below 14th street summer foray, with a washed blue silk tank dress using a tie front and cut-outs at the waist being the crowd stunner. To further the effect of youth languor, the models sported prettily dissheveled hair, sometimes with kinks built-in, and a whited-out makeup palette which all contributed to the coolness factor of Ms. Walker's designs, as if they were fresh from a night partying at Santos Party House. Model newcomer Hyoni, fresh off a win at the Ford Supermodel of the World contest, was a surprising standout especially in an oversized cream bamboo t-shirt with leopard print silk taffeta shorts. Ms. Walker also debuted her eyewear line with updated takes on the Wayfarers and vintage 60s cat-eye. While the eyewear lookbook left at each seat featured a better lineup, the redos of the Wayfarers seemed too commercial as just about every new eyewear line has featured some update of the classic Ray-ban. But you can hardly blame her for she knows her customer base well, particularly the sophisticated hipster who has outgrown in-your-face style in favor of a more subdued version of downtown relaxation, and there a tweak on the Rayban would be surely coveted.

First Party Pics! La Perla NY Fashion Week kickoff

Leigh Lezark stopped by, as well as Byrdie Bell. U.S. Open doubles player James Murray also made a late appearance. Otherwise, the La Perla party at the Empire Hotel rooftop was a smattering of industry folks and scantily-clad models. Having been spoiled this August, I certainly wasn't used to the humidity, but that was quickly cooled with a glass of bubbly. A perfect way to kick start a busy week.
