BCBG Max Azria Fall/Winter 2008 Show at New York Fashion Week

The BCBG Max Azria Fall/Winter 2008 collection isn’t exactly what you might expect for fall/winter clothing: short sleeves, short skirts, sleeveless coats, even shorter skirts.

BCBG Max Azria Fall/Winter Collection 2008

 
 Karla Martinez, women’s fashion market director, had this to say about the show, which took place at the tents in Bryant Park:

About the clothes: Muted colors — a lot of beige, pale gray and plums. All very wearable silhouettes in the first part of the show and the finale dresses are great for ladies with great legs! Standouts: Gray wool long pleated dress. Pretty, delicate layered collars.

 

BCBG Max Azria Fall/Winter Collection 2008The California-based designer’s collection was the first major women’s catwalk show of New York Fashion Week. The collection featured lots of subdued neutral hues, though there were a few brighter colors here and there - like cranberry, golden yellow and teal. Many of the looks featured pleated details. Lots of the designs were paired with belts. And, of course, there were very short hemlines.

As usual, the designs that stood out the most from the Fall/Winter 2008 Collection were the dresses.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

BCBG Max Azria Fall/Winter Collection 2008The collection, as a whole, is being called a “fresh departure” for BCBG Max Azria.

As expected, many celebrities attended the show, notably Joss Stone, Ana Ortiz, Sophia Bush and Christina Milan.

The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection 2008

Friday, February 1 is National Wear Red Day! By wearing red today, you help support women’s heart health and heart disease research. National Wear Red Day kicks of American Heart Month.

This February, The Heart Truth celebrates its sixth year at New York’s Fashion Week, commemorating the groundbreaking partnership with America’s fashion industry to bring the Red Dress to life in the national effort to raise awareness about women and heart disease. On National Wear Red Day—February 1, 2008—The Heart Truth will roll out the red carpet for more than 20 of today’s celebrated women donning one-of-a-kind Red Dresses by America’s top designers for women’s heart health.

Red Dress Collection 2008Laura Bush, serving as The Heart Truth Ambassador, opened the show. “Nothing draws attention like a little red dress,” she said.

Furthermore, she notes that “Like many women, I assumed heart disease was a man’s disease and cancer was what we would fear the most. Yet heart disease kills more women in our country than all forms of cancer combined. When it comes to heart disease, education, prevention, and even a little red dress can save lives.”

Many different celebrities participated in the 6th annual event at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City, such as Allison Janney, Liza Minnelli, Joss Stone, Molly Sims, and many more.

Red Dress Collection 2008Heidi Klum was adorable as she sashayed down the runway in a Marc Jacobs dress. Lisa Rinna looked awesome in a fringed Michael Kors number. Sara Ramirez was beautiful in her red dress.

The fashion show featured more than 20 celebrity women paired with the most prestigious fashion houses to debut The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection 2008.

Heavy Celebrity Presence at New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week kicks off today, and according the the Post, lots of celebrities have flown into town to attend the shows — mostly thanks to the ongoing writers’ strike:

Not many stars came to last year’s fashion shows, leaving the front row to D-listers. But this year, the A-list has flown in for seats in the Bryant Park tents and the chance to be swarmed by paparazzi.

“The Golden Globes were canceled, along with other awards shows - and possibly the Oscars - and the stars are going through red-carpet withdrawal,” one fashionista laughed. “They’ve got movies and TV shows to promote, and they need to get their faces into the magazines.”

Lisette Sand-Freeman, of Shadow P.R., put it more kindly: “With the strike, celebrities’ schedules are more open.” Kate Bosworth, Jessica Simpson, Beyoncé Knowles, Claire Danes, Rumer Willis and Courtney Love have all flown into town.

This season’s Fashion Week starts with the Red Dress show, which benefits research on heart disease (especially in women):

First Lady Laura Bush will be front row as Molly Sims (in Daniel Swarovski), Heidi Klum (in Marc Jacobs), Jenna Fisher (in Oscar de la Renta) and Emma Roberts (in Ralph Lauren) catwalk on the runway. Later today, Anne Hathaway and Emma Roberts are due at the Erin Fetherston show.

Halston Collection to Be Sold by Net-A-Porter Day After Show

Halston’s Back! The iconic American label returns to the fashion spotlight!

According to Women’s Wear Daily, the new Halston Collection will be on sale the day after the runway show at New York Fashion Week next month.

Net-A-Porter, an online retailer of designer clothing, has worked out a deal with Halston to feature exclusive coverage of the show and also to feature and ship items from the new collection starting 24 hours after the runway show on February 4, 2008.

“The pièce de résistance, though, marks a major departure in the cycle of fashion: The day after the show, Net-a-porter will begin selling two of Halston’s fall runway looks on its site, with same-day delivery in London and New York and anywhere else in the world the day after.”

This is a never-before seen event that could create big changes in the fashion industry. Designs from the runway shows are going to be accessible to the public must faster than has traditionally been the case.

“The move is groundbreaking in several ways. At a time when customers can see runway looks on fashion sites and blogs within hours of a designer’s final exit, and stores ask for earlier and earlier deliveries based on the strength of pre-collections, many industry executives are increasingly questioning the commercial validity of the much-hyped bi-annual runway extravaganzas. The clothes on the runways of New York, London, Milan and Paris typically hit retailers several months after the shows, long after the media buzz around them has faded and with plenty of time for copycat manufacturers to move in and offer similar looks at lower qualities and prices.”

Two items from the collection will be featured for sale: a daytime shirt dress and a silk evening dress. Net-A-Porter has distribution centers in New York and London, meaning the items will be available same-day, and the day after elsewhere in the world. Net-A-Porter has a global audience and provides worldwide express shipping.

“On Feb. 5, 24 hours after the Halston show, Net-a-porter will present a video clip including an interview with the brand’s current creative director, Marco Zanini. It is expected to highlight Halston’s relevance to the present day, and feature Zanini, a Versace alum, discussing his view of the brand and his inspirations for the fall collection. Net-a-porter also will separately feature edited video footage of the runway show. Shoppers can then click and buy two Halston looks, a $1,495 shirt dress for daytime, and a $1,795 evening silk dress. And in what is sure to be considered a fashion first, they can wear the looks out in London and New York, where Net-a-porter has shipping centers, that same day, and elsewhere the day after.”

Is such a bold new move a risk? How can Net-A-Porter feel secure that it will sell these items? Are there any concerns with buying so much inventory ahead of time?

“We buy because we know our customer,” Natalie Massenet, chairman and founder of Net-A-Porter, said. “We have an unbelievable knowledge of our customer and know what they liked in the past, what they tend to buy, we know their sizes, and through that, we can make educated decisions. But it does start with loving the product, and we feel confident that this will be a success.”

This will be a limited edition buy, so if you’re interested in buying one of the new dresses from the Halston collection (and can afford the price tag), we suggest buying early if you don’t want to have to wait for it to hit the stores.

Net-A-Porter envisions other similar deals in the future. (This one actually being the second: Net-A-Porter had a similar collaboration setup for Roland Mouret’s comeback collection, RM — again, 24 hours after the collection was first shown.) It’s a great way to offer customers instant gratification, along with changing the way that people shop.

Rachel Zoe TV: Hollywood’s Infamous Stylist to star in Bravo Reality TV Show

The inevitable has finally arrived: Rachel Zoe is getting her own reality show.

The 36-year-old stylist to the stars has confirmed to Fashion Week Daily that she has signed a deal with Bravo to shoot a weekly one-hour show that will air either in early summer around June or in September during New York’s Fashion Week. “It’s not about exposing my clients or being invasive into their personal lives–unless they want to participate,” Zoe said of the A-list celebrities she works with, which include Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, and Liv Tyler. She added that it took her about a year of contemplation to agree to do the project. “It’s about a comfort level,” she said, admitting, “I [initially] didn’t want to do a book, either; it took me two years to say yes to that.”

According to Zoe, the show, which is yet to be titled, starts shooting in the New Year for eight weeks. Zoe, who recently put her Hollywood Hills home on the market for close to $3 million, will be in New York for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, where she will profile designers and “cover” the week’s worth of shows and parties. But she’s quick to emphasize that she’s not doing the show to necessarily illustrate the glamorous life those who don’t know her assume she leads. “It’s dangerous for me to put myself at the forefront,” she concedes, “but with the TV project I want to educate people who are also asking me fashion questions. I want people to understand what I do and more about the fashion business.”

Zoe, who’s no stranger to reality TV, having played herself on The Simple Life and Bravo’s own Project Runway (the latter of which is co-produced by Harvey Weinstein, who recently acquired Halston and tapped Zoe to serve on his relaunch advisory board), added that she’s also in the initial stages of creating a large-scale charity project benefiting ovarian cancer. “I have so much respect for Angelina Jolie,” she said. “I want to help. It’s time.”

New York Fashion Week: The Art Institutes Passion for Fashion Competition

For teenagers who fantasize about a career in the fashion industry, there may be no bigger opportunity to make that happen than The Art Institutes Passion for Fashion Competition.

High school seniors from across the U.S. and Canada send their best fashion designs and fashion marketing, merchandising and retail management concepts to New York City where a panel of fashion insiders and industry professionals judge their entries for originality, design rationale and execution.

The panel of judges for the Passion for Fashion Competition 2008 includes: Mel Rose, first runner-up on “America’s Next Top Model” Season 7, now a fashion designer and full-time model, and graduate of The Art Institute of California - San Francisco; Stacey Monsen, a Men’s Design Director for Steve & Barry’s; Patty Hughes, of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, who hosts a fashion segment on a national television program; and Bruce Dempsey, Vice President, Academic Affairs Specialist for The Art Institutes.

At stake is a full-tuition scholarship to study (i) Fashion Design or (ii) Fashion Marketing, Fashion Merchandising or Fashion & Retail Management at The Art Institute that each grand prize winner represents in the Competition. And for icing on the cake, the grand prize winner in each category wins a trip to New York Fashion Week and a chance to mingle with the staff of Seventeen magazine.

“Each year this Competition draws more talented teens that have a real love, enthusiasm and talent for fashion. Every year the quantity and quality of the students entering increases,” says, Bruce E. Dempsey, Vice President, Academic Affairs Specialist for The Art Institutes and lead judge in the Passion for Fashion Competition 2008.

The theme for the Fashion Design category in the Passion for Fashion Competition 2008 is “evening wear.” Judges will be looking for innovative and original approaches to formal wear for both young men and women. The winners will be announced next week in New York City.

Hervé Léger at New York Fashion Week for Fall 2008 Collections

BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP plans to show their Hervé Léger by Max Azria ready-to-wear collection during Fall 2008 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. This will mark the first time since the mid-nineties that the collection will be presented on the runway, and the first time ever that it will be shown in New York. The collection was originally shown in Paris.

“I’m thrilled to be bringing the glamour and sensuality of Hervé Léger by Max Azria to the New York runway,” said Max Azria, designer, chairman and CEO of BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP. “I’ve spent the last year focusing on redesigning and reinventing the brand, while staying true to the house’s heritage.”

The original Hervé Léger fashion house was founded in 1985 and acquired by BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP in 1998. With fashion moving in the direction of more feminine, shapely silhouettes, in the past year the Hervé Léger look experienced a resurgence in popularity. Recognizing this, Azria relaunched the Hervé Léger label with his own designs that have since been embraced by celebrities such as Kate Bosworth, Victoria Beckham and Catherine Zeta-Jones, among others.

Ralph Lauren Hogging Models at New York Fashion Week

According to Page Six, Catty fashionistas are griping about Ralph Lauren’s Saturday fashion show in Central Park, because as one insider put it, “he’s stealing all the models.” Lauren asked his runway models like Caroline Trentini, Flavia Oliveira and Chanel Iman to sign contracts saying they “wouldn’t be in any other shows that day,” said the source. “He’s making it extremely hectic for other designers showcasing their spring collections that day. Ralph embargoed his models. They are forbidden to walk in other shows. Everyone is going nuts.”

New York Fashion Week: Oscar de la Renta Bans Fashion Phonies

NOTE to the faux-cialites: Oscar de la Renta doesn’t want you at his Sept. 10 New York Fashion Week show. “None of the girls who just show up to places to get their pictures taken were invited,” our insider said. “Oscar thinks they are tacky and is only interested in the women who actually support his work and, you know, buy the clothes.” Another source said, “The list was cut in half - the new space for the show is on Park Avenue and there wasn’t room to accommodate everyone.” De la Renta’s rep declined comment. But girls like Tinsley Mortimer and Olivia Palermo can take heart - there are plenty of opportunities to pose. The two, who didn’t show up for the Designers for Darfur event last month when each found out the other was coming (a charge they deny), are both expected at W magazine’s New York Affair event today. Watch those elbows! Meanwhile, Marc Jacobs has some veteran models in a furor. “Marc hired [’The Hills’ star] Lauren Conrad to do his show, so now all the real models have to sign releases for TV if they want to be in his show - which of course they do,” said our insider. “They are very put out that Marc succumbed to putting on one of ‘those shows’ - you know, the publicity shows.”

Discontent Over Oscar de la Renta Venue Move

From today’s Page Six:

“PICKY Park Avenue might wear Oscar de la Renta, but they certainly don’t want him throwing a big fashion show in their historic neighborhood. The designer recently announced plans to move his Fall Fashion Week show from Bryant Park to 583 Park, much to the dismay of locals in a tizzy over traffic and noise.”

Oscar de la Renta Not Showing at NY Fashion Week Tents

News is that Oscar de la Renta is not going to show his new collections at the New York Fashion Week tents.

The famed fashion designer will be showing his new collections at other venues; one alternative destination for his spring 2008 collection is reported to be an old Christian Science church. According to reports, de la Renta is said to have so liked the old church on Park Avenue that he has decided to use that as a venue instead.

A spokesperson for IMG (which organizes the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York) said, “Oscar de la Renta has shown with us for years and, though he will be missed, we wish him every success in his new location and look forward to welcoming him back to the tents very soon.”
