RUNWAY REPORT: Pre-Fall Wang

Black is back. Alexander Wang's pre-fall look book debuted on style.com this week, and black has never looked so goth chic. The silhouette of the season is very structured and layered, with square shoulders and abbreviated trousers. Also, making it's comeback- the long skirt. I just picked one up while thrifting home for the holidays. I am into this whole goth space vibe.

NEWS: Model found hanged in Paris apartment

20-year-old model and fellow blogger, Daul Kim was found dead in her Paris apartment on Thursday. She had been very successful in her modeling career in the past few years appearing on several top runways. It is very sad to see someone so young and in the public eye to feel so alienated, and even with 'clues' found on her blog (iliketoforkmyself.blogspot.com), that she still was able to take her own life. When our society places so much emphasis on being pretty and being skinny and being rich, you have to remember that being happy and healthy has to come first, because those other things don't really matter in the end. Condolences to her family and friends.

If you or anyone you know have suicidal thoughts, please get help.

HOT: New Designer Label Risto

Macedonian designer and long-term industry talent has debuted his first runway collection this year at New York Fashion Week. His prints and designs are absolutely gorgeous and produces the collection in Macedonia, supporting the local economy. As a fellow Macedonian I must admit my love for the collection and am so proud of him!






check out the rest of the collection here

SEEN: Lindsay Lohan at Emmanuel Ungaro

Debuting her first collection under "artistic adviser," Lindsay Lohan was hit with some harsh reviews for the designs at the parisian label Emanuel Ungaro. Giambattista Valli was quoted as saying, "An actress ought to be an actress, and a fashion designer ought to be a fashion designer,"..... These are their own professions, so everybody ought to concentrate on one thing. I chose, in my life, to be a fashion designer." He spent 7 years working at the fashion label. I completely agree with him, but look at little Lohan- she's so happy.... : ) During her interviews she was on the verge of tears and couldn't contain her emotions taking the catwalk. Aw, everyone stop being so mean.....



HOT: Alexander McQueen Shoes

I am dying. Over shoes. I am dying over these shoes. You can't even call them shoes, that is an unjustice. OMG!!!

HOT: Lady Gaga Merchandise

So I do have to admit that I am all sorts of amazed by Lady Gaga for several listable reasons, but I just happened to run across this hoodie in her online store and I'm even more obsessed with this hoodie! I couldn't be more impressed- when's the last time you went to a concert and bought that 'band tee' and wished it was just a little cuter....?

HOT: Short Shorts!

You know it's been way too hot out to even look cute ladies! The only option to look really sexy whilst being super sweaty is to bring out those short shorts! The higher the waist and the shorter the hem the better!!!

SEEN: "Birds of a Fether" Short Film

On style.com a new short film has debuted featuring recent CDFA member Erin Fetherson's Fall collection. The movie seems to be inspired by a nouveau Pied Piper fantasy through the streets of New York City. The idea of short film featuring a designer's collection is interesting and to be honest, I prefered seeing the looks in the film over the runway..... Are runways so last century?
