Model Falls into Runway Hole at Los Angeles Fashion Week, October 2007

Here’s a brief bit from the AP about a model falling into a hole in the runway during a show at the Mercedes-Benz Los Angeles Fashion Week for the Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear Collections:

Fashionistas from Naomi Campbell to Carrie Bradshaw have made embarrassing missteps on the catwalk. But model Sarah Welch trumped them all when she fell through a hole during an L.A. Fashion Week show.

A video of Welch’s dramatic drop — a sensation on YouTube — shows her walking the runway at last week’s presentation of the fashion line Shadang. She stares blankly ahead, not noticing the gaping hole left where a martial arts performer had cracked open the floor with a flip.

“As a runway model, you have to keep your head up, you know,” Welch, a former contestant on “The Bachelor” reality series, told KABC-TV. “So I didn’t look down for a hole, particularly.”

Then came the plunge. In the video, the crowd is heard howling with apparent shock. Welch, waist-deep in the hole, struggles to lift herself out, and is helped by “Heroes” actor Jimmy Jean-Louis, who modeled at the event. She regains her footing and exits stage left, raising her fist to seemingly signal that she’s OK.

The video of the tumble, posted Thursday, had more than 1 million views on YouTube by Monday afternoon.

Welch, now an Internet celebrity, has a good sense of humor about it.

“It is just a really funny mishap. And I hope they’re enjoying watching it just as much as I am,” she said.

Karl Lagerfeld Turns the Great Wall of China into a Runway for Fendi

Here’s a fashion show on a scale never held before, with eighty eight models walking down a ramp that is literally one of its kind in the world - a ramp nothing less than the Great Wall of China.

Some of the country’s most famous stars gathered at the Wall at Juyongguan, an hour north of Beijing, for the unveiling of a new line, partly designed by Karl Lagerfeld for fashion house Fendi.

China’s Great Wall was not just a popular tourist spot on Friday (October 19, 2007) night - it was a catwalk. Over eighty models from all over the world flew in, just to be able to walk down one of the new seven wonders of the world. The brains behind all this is Fendi, one of the world’s most popular luxury brands. After working for a year to get permission to set up the glamorous stage, Fendi raised Chinese eyebrows. Silvia Fendi, the designer of the new looks, said there was hardly anything left to top this.

But the audience for the fashion show on the Great Wall, mainly constituted those Chinese civilians, who are benefiting most from the economy’s rapid rise - the newly rich. Still Karl Lagerfeld, designer of not only Fendi but also of a few other top luxury brands - defended fashion by stating saying that, it could in fact lead to the betterment of lives.

While all the Chinese political leaders are talking about an agenda to build a harmonious society, out there on the catwalk, the order of the day was consumerism, luxury and business.

Petro Zillia Closes Los Angeles Fashion Week Spring 2008 … with Paris Hilton?

CULVER CITY, Calif. (AP) — Who better to add some spice to Petro Zillia’s closing show of bright, sassy dresses at L.A. Fashion Week than ultimate L.A. girl Paris Hilton? It all was, like the show’s name, “So L.A.”

Light bulbs flashed and necks swiveled when Hilton sashayed down the runway Thursday night to her front-row seat at Smashbox Studios’ main tent arm-in-arm with the label’s designer, Nony Tochterman.

Hilton, wearing a Petro Zillia midnight blue satin jumpsuit, had missed her sister Nicky’s spring Chick collection earlier in the week.

“I’ve been shooting a film in Toronto for two months,” Hilton told The Associated Press, adding that she had arrived in town the night before for Spike TV’s Scream Awards and to see Petro Zillia’s “great collection.”

The last time Tochterman showed at L.A. Fashion Week was two years ago. Last year, the L.A.-based designer opened her first store, soaking in the trendy street styles of women in the area.

Thursday’s collection triumphantly reflected that influence, with block colors as bright and California fresh as Tochterman’s pink hair, and dresses either skimming the thigh or swept low to the ground.

“This season is all inspired by the L.A. girl, the fearless girl into fashion,” Tochterman told The AP in a phone interview. “I love the dress trend. Putting on a dress and running out of the house and looking like you didn’t try too hard. The girls here don’t know the rules our parents used to follow. They wear what they like.”

That confidence reigned on the catwalk, where models sporting fake Afro-puff ponytails and huge heart-shaped earrings strutted in gold knee-high Roman boots or gold platform heels, playing up a fun ’70s feel.

The line showcased silk ruffled dresses, either short in coral or floor-length in red. There were off-the-shoulder sheer gowns in orange silk and hot pink chiffon, accented by a trailing scarf.

A gold rayon knitted vest stretched to the ankle. It was saucily cinched in front and left open to reveal matching, high-waisted gold underwear.

One standout greeted by clapping and cheers was a gorgeous floor-length teal wrap dress with delicate folds of chiffon worthy of any starlet prepping for the awards show season.

Silk and satin jumpers, in line with trends in New York and Milan, came in bright yellow and fuchsia. Belted shorts and flowing wide-legged pants were paired with metallic knitted tops.

Only a daring woman would don the see-through black dress with enormous gold-edged flowers shown at the collection’s end. Then again, the gown brought a zesty finish to Mercedes-Benz L.A. Fashion Week.

The week’s 34 shows included designers Sue Wong, Randolph Duke, Christian Audigier, Kevan Hall, Jeremy Scott, Heatherette and Monarchy Collection, which presented its looks on a catwalk of green grass.

“When I lived in New York, I felt New York was the only place where I could get inspired in the streets. Now the mentality, the culture, is all changing,” noted Tochterman. “The fashion and culture is so inspiring here.”

J’aime at Los Angeles Fashion Week Spring 2008

Jaime Pressly, who took home the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress last month for her work on My Name is Earl, has reached another career milestone. On Monday, Pressly debuted her newly expanded contemporary collection from her two-year-old clothing line, J’aime.

Originally, Pressly’s clothing line consisted of a simple knit collection, but has now expanded to include ready-to-wear items made from an array of fabrics, such as washed linen, cotton voile, stretch cotton sateen, chiffon and eyelet. Further marking the growth of her clothing company, Pressly recruited European designer Renee Bardot to help bring her visions to life.

Pressly’s J’aime, which is French for “I Love,” now boasts of such items as flowing dresses with satin braiding satin braiding, well-tailored pants suits, short shorts and feminine tops. In making the new collection, Jaime Pressly said that as with her original line, the main goal was to create fashion that would suit all women.

“The collection, as always, was designed first and foremost to fit and flatter the body of every woman.” Pressly said. “My goal is to design clothes that make women look and feel confident.”

On the second night of LA Fashion Week, Pressly was beaming with pride as models paraded her new collection down the runway. Her My Name is Earl co-stars Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, Eddie Steeples and Giovanni Ribisi were present at the event, along with friend Nicky Hilton, who had a show for her Chick clothing line over the weekend, and Hilton’s boyfriend, David Katzenberg.

LA Fashion week is an exclusive, invitation only event benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This year, the city’s fashion extravaganza kicked off on Sunday, October 14, and will conclude on Thursday, October 18.

Mercedes-Benz LA Fashion Week Spring 2008 Goes Green!

Li Cari finishes off a week of shows and celebrations with an Eco Friendly Finale show that will rock the planet. This Red carpet event will be held Friday, October 19, 2007 at Dom in the heart of Beverly Hills.

The evening will commence with a Cocktail party and lead into a catwalk for celebrity and VIP guests. Hosted by Morgan Weirich, CBS, Looks Like Love, and presented by LA Direct Magazine. DJ Poet from the Black Eyed Peas and DJ Pinxx will be spinning the turn tables for not only an incredible fashion show, but also for the pilot to “Catwalk” a reality series which started filming during New York fashion week. The show is based on Jazmin Whitley the designer of the Li Cari fashion house.

Jazmin Whitley was the youngest designer to show in NY fashion week. At the ripe old age of 19 this dynamic young designer will show for the second time in LA fashion week. The Li Cari label was launched in Los Angeles in March 2006. As the fashion world continues to speed up and hasten through trends, Li Cari lingers on timeless and classic looks that are eternally appealing, with a modern touch influenced by the designer’s youthful and innovative personality. The allure of the Li Cari fashion house is its youthful charm and clever twists on otherwise uniform trends.

Attracting hip clients like Blu Cantrell, Michelle Stafford, Sara Carter, Erica Rose, Jo De La Rosa, Victoria Justice, Aimee Teegarden, Brie Larson, singer Monet Monico and Alex M to name a few, Jazmin Whitley has dressed many other celebrities for red carpet events including The Teen Choice Awards, MTV Awards, Catwalk for Charity, Care Awards, Young Artists Awards, and will be dressing several for the Grammy awards. Whitley has been featured in 12 magazines in the pasted two months and seems to be on a very fast pass to the top.

Jazmin Whitley is not only passionate about fashion she also holds children and protecting the earth and its resources very close to her heart. The line will only be made in the USA, Italy and countries that enforce child labor laws. Whitley states “and that will never change”. Whitley is adamant on educating Americans on the harm of child labor as well as showing that Eco-friendly fashion is just as couture as the toxic textiles that are out there. She feels that building a better tomorrow starts today. Whitley states “Conventional clothing is killing our environment, the textile industry is one of the most polluting industries on earth but We have the means to create new industries, products, lifestyles that enhance our natural environment rather than destroy it.”

Dom Valcucine was selected as the venue because of its incredible leadership in protecting the environment. Dom specializes in Eco friendly products DOM works with architects and designers on individual residences as well as multi-unit projects offering eco friendly design assistance.

This young designer has taken young Hollywood by storm and is now the buzz around New York City with plans to show in Milan and Paris Ms. Whitley is well on her way to capturing the hearts of fashion lovers around the world.

“Yves Saint Laurent in Twilight”

From today’s Page Six:

Fashionistas are buzzing over the poor health of Yves Saint Laurent. The retired king of couture was in a wheelchair last week when he made a rare public appearance at the exhibit of his theatrical work at the Fondation Pierre Bergé in his old headquarters on the Avenue Marceau. “He was pale and his face was swollen and puffy,” observed our spy. “He really didn’t look well at all.” Saint Laurent, 71, has a history of health problems. He retired from his couture house in 2002 and retreated to his homes in Paris and Marrakech. Gucci Group now owns the ready-to-wear label Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche.

While he has been retired for a few years now, we wish Yves Saint Laurent were still designing; he’s always been one of our favorite designers. Otherwise we wish him well and the best of health!

Marc Jacobs’ Behavior at Paris Fashion Week S/S 2008

Here’s an article from the New York Post (by Danica Lo) about the Marc Jacobs’ show at Paris Fashion Week:

MARC Jacobs bared his tongue in Paris on Sunday night. While taking his bow on the catwalk following the Louis Vuitton show, he publicly - in front of an audience that included his boss, LVMH head Bernard Arnault, the world’s top fashion editors, and celebs like Courtney Love, Kanye West and Victoria Beckham - stuck it out at International Herald Tribune fashion critic Suzy Menkes.

The designer’s defiant, if childish, gesture was a response to Menkes’ scathing review of Jacobs’ namesake Marc Jacobs spring 2008 collection: “A bad, sad show,” she called it, that “symbolized everything that is wrong with current fashion.” And the tongue is just the latest in a string of bizarre, bratty antics that have industry insiders whispering about the state of Jacobs’ mental affairs.

While he is arguably the most influential working American fashion designer today, this past year has seen Jacobs, 44, in and out of rehab and plagued with rumors about plastic surgery and drug-induced weight loss (he insists he dropped the pounds by working out and going organic).

Embroiled in a steamy, on-again off-again relationship with Jason Preston - the ex-male prostitute and former porn-star who had Jacobs’ name tattooed on his fore-get-your-mind-out-of-the-gutter-arm - Jacobs has also posed naked for a WWD cover, Out magazine, and the latest self-edited issue of Visionaire.

His previously critic-proof professional success is also suffering rumblings of imminent backlash. Not only is he earning a (deserved) reputation for being unable to start a show anywhere near on time - the Vuitton show in Paris started an hour and a half late and the Marc Jacobs show here started more than two hours past schedule - recent reviews have been far less than stellar.

“A remarkable display of self-destruction,” The Post called it.

In the days that followed, Jacobs gave a ranting interview to WWD, blaming the Council of Fashion Designers of America for his tardiness, whining about feeling like an outsider and threatening to move all his shows to Europe.

To be honest, we expected a lot more from the man who was credited with bringing creative credibility back to the American fashion industry beginning with grunge in the early ’90s. Instead, he’s turned into a whiny, bratty, self-obsessed cheeseball. Whether his new image and obnoxious professional demeanor will impact his bottom line remains to be seen. And we’re not talking about his ass - though we’re sure it’s in great shape, and no we don’t want to see it (anymore).

Banned from Louis Vuitton Show at Paris Fashion Week

October 7, 2007 — FASHION journalists are buzzing over how Newsweek’s Dana Thomas was banned from today’s Louis Vuitton ready-to-wear show in Paris. Thomas apparently struck a nerve at the 150-year-old leather goods house with her best-selling book, “Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster.” She wrote, “Vuitton is the McDonald’s of the luxury industry: it’s far and away the leader, brags of millions sold, has stores at all the top tourist sites - usually steps away from a McD’s - and has a logo as recognizable as the Golden Arches.” The International Herald Tribune’s Suzy Menkes was banned from Dior a few years ago and the New York Times’ Cathy Horyn from Dolce & Gabbana last winter, both after writing reviews that displeased the brands. Calls to Vuitton reps in New York and Paris weren’t returned. Thomas had no comment. Chances are, however, the ban won’t last forever. “Menkes is back at Dior now,” our source told us. Other luxury brands, meanwhile, seem unperturbed by Thomas’s book. She was spotted at the Christian Dior and Hermes shows earlier in the week.

Lagerfeld Confidential: Karl Lagerfeld Remains a Mystery

The following is an article about the new documentary on Karl Lagerfeld, called Lagerfeld Confidential:

PARIS (AP) — A mantelpiece is strewn with a dozen iPods and hundreds of chunky silver rings. Drawers are full of starched shirt collars. Piles of books stretch skyward like teetering towers of Pisa.

This close-up look at Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld’s lavish life is shown in “Lagerfeld Confidential” — a new French movie condensing two years of the ponytailed designer’s frenetic activity into a riveting hour and a half.

But despite the movie’s focus on the fashion world’s most enigmatic icon, Lagerfeld remains shrouded in mystery.

Like a shadow, the camera trails Lagerfeld — who also designs for Italian luxury brand Fendi and his own eponymous label — as he churns out hurried sketches, takes a victory lap on the catwalk to thundering applause, jets to Monaco and New York and shoots hunky male models clad only in strategically placed fur.

While present in nearly every shot, Lagerfeld remains distant, aloof and ultimately unknowable behind his signature dark shades.

“I don’t want to be a reality in people’s lives,” Lagerfeld tells the camera in one scene. “I want to be a ghost.”

The movie — which opens in France next week and is set for U.S. release later this month — is the product of a two-year collaboration between Lagerfeld and Rodolphe Marconi, a dashing young French director who shot more than 300 hours of footage of Lagerfeld at work and play.

Marconi said it was Lagerfeld’s hard public image that drew him to the designer.

“I was sure there was a real human behind” the facade, Marconi told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “I wanted to show it.”

In some scenes, Marconi just about pulls it off.

We see Lagerfeld do things that regular people do, such as chow down on his version of a TV dinner: a chef-prepared meal served in his hotel room. In another scene, the 69-year-old designer beams with childlike glee as he tries on a gold lame baseball jacket at a Christian Dior boutique.

But mostly he is impenetrable, shooting off pointed, witty remarks in his rapid-fire French to his ever-present, adoring entourage.

“Ohh! Ahh,” coo the members of his inner circle in one scene, as Lagerfeld shows off his photos of a male model.

Marconi, a 31-year-old actor-turned-director, often comes off as yet another Lagerfeld lackey. He rushes to open the car door for Lagerfeld, guffaws loudly at his jokes and nearly drips obsequiousness toward the designer.

In their one-on-one interviews, Marconi tiptoes around the hard questions, asking Lagerfeld about his childhood and sexuality with a trepidation so palpable that on one occasion an exasperated Lagerfeld scolds him for it.

“You either see (what you want to ask) more clearly or we’ll go on to another subject,” he says abruptly.

Asked about his love life, Lagerfeld skirts the question and instead criticizes domestic partnership laws in France. He keeps personal revelations to a minimum, referring obliquely to a “tragedy” — Lagerfeld had a widely known relationship with a French aristocrat who died of AIDS in 1989 — but going no further.

“Lagerfeld Confidential” pounds home his motto — carpe diem — with about as much subtlety as a sledgehammer. Again and again, Lagerfeld proclaims he has no ties to the past and lives only for the present moment.

“If it was really better before, then we should all just kill ourselves right away,” he says with characteristic dryness.

Marconi said when he approached Lagerfeld with his movie proposal, the designer’s assistant told him “more than 100 people” had already asked permission to make such a film.

Marconi said he was not sure why Lagerfeld chose him: “Perhaps because I didn’t go into it with an agenda.”

Lagerfeld gained a reputation by reviving a flagging Chanel after taking over in 1982, and in 2004 designed a collection for Swedish fast-fashion retailer H&M that made his work available to customers with smaller purses. In a sign of his celebrity status, Lagerfeld released a CD of his favorite songs and a weight-loss guide filled with the secrets that allowed him to shed 80 pounds.

Lagerfeld said Marconi’s film “ended up annoying me.”

“Let’s say that Rodolphe Marconi was able to observe and capture what I wanted to play for him,” he was quoted as saying in French Vogue. “It’s not that I lie, it’s that I don’t owe the truth to anyone. After all, I’m not facing a judge, but a director.”

Asked whether he thought he had gotten to know Lagerfeld, Marconi said, “I have the feeling I know him now … though in truth, you never really know anyone.”

Fetish Shoes: Christian Louboutin Teams Up with David Lynch

Christian Louboutin Fetish Shoes for David LynchThis is just HOT! I’ve always been a fan of David Lynch and find his movies, etc. to be often astoundingly beautiful. As for Christian Louboutin, I’ve liked his shoes, but never been head-over-heels for them — until now. The pairing of these two makes me want to run out and buy a pair of these fetish shoes (along with a few photographs, of course), even if I couldn’t actually wear them out. They’re simply gorgeous!

The following is an interview with Louboutin:

With their red soles and vertiginous heels, there’s already something a little subversive about Christian Louboutin’s shoes. But in Fetish, his photo collaboration with David Lynch—a man who knows a little something about kinkiness himself—Louboutin took the black leather gloves off. These shoes and boots are definitely not made for walking. The show opened at the Galerie du Passage in Paris yesterday; we caught up with the designer after the launch party.

How did the collaboration come about?
David had a big exhibition at the Fondation Cartier in March and he asked me to do some shoes for it. Out of that, I thought of asking him to do some photographs for me—he’s my favorite director. I said, “I’m thinking of designing fetish shoes for you,” and he didn’t let me finish my sentence. He said yes right away.

Why were you interested in fetish shoes?
I’ve always heard about shoe fetishists, both men and women. It became a sort of exercise, one that allows me to do things I can’t do in my regular line. Making these shoes is closer to my primary joy, my drawing, because they’re devoted to static pleasure; there’s no motion, they’re for the bed. Real-life shoes are less like your imagination.

What was working with David like?
It was a full process with two people. David has a huge will to please a person; he’s really dedicated. I stayed the whole two days—I’m even in some of the pictures.

Did he have any requirements? Any requests?
He said, “No bones.” He didn’t want the girls to be too skinny, so we chose two models from the Crazy Horse. And he asked for sunglasses that would look like the black bar over girls’ faces in pornography from the twenties and thirties, so we built the glasses in my atelier.

Will you work together again?
Yes, when we both decide the project is right.

Are the shoes for sale?
At first, they weren’t going to be. But there were so many people who wanted to buy a photograph and the shoes in it. So, there are five prints of each photo, and five pairs of corresponding shoes available.

Valentino Bids Farewell to Paris Prêt-à-Porter Fashion Week

Valentino's Last Prêt-à-Porter ShowItalian fashion giant Valentino staged his last ever ready-to-wear show, winning a standing ovation Wednesday from his supporters and a reprimand from fellow designer Karl Lagerfeld, who said it was too early for the designer to retire.

Wednesday’s show is not quite Valentino’s last hurrah — a final haute couture display is scheduled to take place in Paris in January. But the emotions were palpable as he blinked back tears on the catwalk, and backstage there was hardly a dry eye.

“I want to stop at the height of my glory,” the 75-year-old designer told reporters. “I want to have a bit of fun because I have spent my life stuck in couture houses drawing hundreds and hundreds of sketches every season.”

Having celebrated his 45 years in fashion with three days of glittering celebrations in Rome, Valentino announced last month that he would retire in 2008. Alessandra Facchinetti, the former designer of Gucci women’s ready-to-wear, has been appointed to replace him.

Valentino's Last Prêt-à-Porter Show

Valentino said he wanted his penultimate collection to be young and joyful as a tribute to all his fans.

Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova, back on the catwalk just three weeks after giving birth to her third child, opened the show in a short pink-and-lilac cashmere coat.

Valentino's Last Prêt-à-Porter ShowTo a thumping soundtrack of Prince songs, models stepped out in flirty cocktail dresses scattered with polka dots and gold bows. Blocks of color formed graphic patterns that had an upbeat ’80s feel, while a print of oversized arum lilies added a romantic touch.

Fashion editors and retailers praised the legendary designer, who has dressed luminaries from Jackie Kennedy to Gwyneth Paltrow.

“It’s very emotional; he’s such an iconic designer, such an important part of fashion history,” said Ken Downing, senior vice president and fashion director for U.S. department store chain Neiman Marcus.

Lagerfeld lamented Valentino’s decision to stop.

“I am not very pleased because I think it is not good that he’s stopping; he is in great shape,” he told reporters after showing his Karl Lagerfeld ready-to-wear line earlier in the day. “He should continue. It’s no fun; he will be bored.”

Valentino had been insisting for months that he had no plans to retire, but the purchase of the Valentino Fashion Group — which owns his label — by private equity firm Permira may have influenced his decision.

The designer said he would take time to travel and perhaps design costumes for opera and ballet — he already has plans for a collaboration with the famed Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, Russia. He also is planning the creation of a foundation to house his creations.

Lagerfeld, 69, said he had no intention of stepping down in turn from his multiple roles as creative director of the Lagerfeld, Chanel and Fendi brands.

“All my contracts are for life, so I am like a death row inmate,” he joked.

Valentino's Last Prêt-à-Porter ShowWhile Christian Dior and Valentino have staged lavish anniversary celebrations this year, Lagerfeld barely acknowledged the passing of his 25th year at Chanel. He joined the firm in 1982.

“There were never any celebrations, there will never be any — I hate that,” he said.

“Fashion is about today and tomorrow, not about yesterday. If you have to be taken seriously because you have a heavy past, I don’t think it’s a good thing,” he said. “I don’t want to remember, I want to do things and go ahead.”
