A Boston Globe blog on home and clothing fashion
You wouldn't know it from this blog, but Boston Fashion Week is in full swing, and I've seen some fabulous and not so fabulous shows since it kicked off on Friday night. One of my favorites was the Launch, a show spotlighting five of Boston's strongest upandcoming designers. In case you missed my story on the designers, (for shame!), you can read it here.
You can see their designs in the window of Macy's in Downtown Crossing. You can also watch this video of the show that took place on Sunday.
You can trick us into thinking it's the same old "Project Runway" with the same set, the same music michael kors handbags sale (michaelkorshandbagsaleoutlets.com), and the same Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum. But where in world are you hiding Nina Garcia and Michael Kors?
This week's judging panel was far too subdued without Kors's endless quips and Garcia's disapproving nods (Don't bore Nina!). means less of Kors and Garcia, I'm ready to stage a revolt. I won't stop watching, but I'll grumble loudly every time I see these two missing from the panel. Yes, it's fun to see how many male designers the show's producers can dig up to fill Kors's seat, but none have effectively matched his catty wit.
From a less selfish point of view, I'm wondering if the endless parade of judges might be throwing off the results of the show. Shouldn't the same people be judging every week for continuity?
For the spring/summer 2010 collection that he presented last night, Narciso Rodriguez took a far lighter approach than his winter collection, and created dresses that practically floated down the runway on the models. A neutral color scheme with liberal splashes of color made the dresses seasonally appropriate, but also incredibly sophisticated. Like many in the audience I watched thinking "Which will Michelle Obama wear." The truth is that much of the collection would look stunning on the First Lady, and for that matter, most women.
Marc Jacobs's show is one of the most anticipated each season, and for good reason. While some designers prefer consistency and continuity, Jacobs radically reinvents his runway offerings each season. His show Monday night was an ultrafeminine kabuki theater spectacular, much softer and more mature than his last 1980sinspired collection. There were ruffles lurking nearly everywhere from the suit jackets to the metallic dresses. Handkerchief dresses were dripping with pearls michael kors new release (http://www.michaelkorssales.com/michael-kors-new-release-c-4.html). Despite the eccentricities, the designer also showed clothes that most any woman could easily wear, including a metallic trench coat that somehow looked perfectly at home in Jacobs's fantasy Japanese cabaret.
When I saw that Michael Kors was AWOL yet again on last night's "Project Runway," I threw down my Diet Pepsitini and looked carefully at the TV screen to see if he was hiding somewhere. But there was no sign of him. Really, what good is "Runway" without Kors? It's like the Captain without Tenille or David Beckham without Armani underwear.
I'm happy that "Runway" is back, but methinks that "Lifetime" is trying to get rid of the show's male judges (aside from last night's appearence from a very Brunoesque Marc Bouwer). If I see Meredith Baxter or Valerie Bertinelli on the judging panel next week michael kors handbags (http://www.michaelkorshandbagsaleoutlets.com), I'll know this move to Lifetime was a mistake.
It's Fashion Week in NYC and I'm off to report on the craziness. But before I slip out to rub shoulders with Mischa Barton and every actress appearing on a CW show this fall, I have a few goodies to give away. How about a copy of Michael Tonello's sartorial pageturner "Bringing Home the Birkin" in special packaging? Or, perhaps I can interest you in a Jimmy Choo tote bag? I have a few other things kicking around here as well that I'll ship off to you. Remember, if you've recently won a prize here, or if you're my mom, you're not eligible.
I am always excited to watch the insane genius of Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld in action, and the Sundance Channel is giving us frontrow access to Karl this week. My TiVo is quivering cheap michael kors bags outlet (http://www.michaelkorsoutletcheapbags.com). Beginning Sept. 9, Sundance airs a fourpart original fashion series called "The Day Before" that gives an inside look at the creative process and, natch, the drama leading up to runway shows.
Here's the official schedule and descriptions from our chic friends at Sundance:
Wednesday, September 9 at 10:00pm e/p
Sonia Rykiel, the flamehaired Parisian known for her chic, playful knitwear, marks her house's 40th anniversary with her October runway show in Paris.
