The Barbie 50th Anniversary show was epic. So much buzz, held on the very amorous February 14th in the main tents at Bryant Park, featuring outfits from 52 of the biggest designers in fashion, including Michael Kors, Diane Von Furstenberg, Derek Lam, Calvin Klein, Anna Sui and more. So many people turned up that numerous media guests were turned away at the door – including, we heard, producers from Fox who were scheduled to interview the President of Mattel the following afternoon. Yikes.
Kris got an amazing spot in the pit, as you can see from the photos, while Shallom and I hung out out at our table in the Tenjune Lounge inside the tents, where the show was being streamed live. We were able to see the designs in much better detail and we were twittering like mad throughout the lengthy show.
Immediately I looked to the shoes. I knew that Christian Louboutin had designed the hot pink Barbie pumps, but had had no sneak peek – they were amazing. We just about died.
The show was presented in three parts: Classic, Current, and Future. Each had different hair and makeup, and obviously the tone of the designs differed greatly.

Just a few favorites from the Academy of Art show on Day 2 of New York Fashion Week. There were a few designers involved in the show and I’m not sure of their names, but I’ll do some recon and try to find out asap. Academy of Art, based in San Francisco, is one of the largest accredited private art and design schools in the U.S. with over 12,000 students – and 2,000 of those are fashion students, some of whom are chosen to show their collections at NYFW. This year the show included one menswear and five womenswear collections in fashion design, textile design and knitwear design.
I really enjoyed this show – every garment was meticulously cut, simple but stunning. These were my favorites – subtle voluminous shapes in pale wintry tones and creamy whites.
I love the cut of this coat, the collar esepcially. The subtle print adds a really unique touch to a simple and quite classic design.

Gorgeous dress – love the combination of white, cream and silver, and that detailing at the bottom. Wow.

Another wonderful wool coat in a similar silhouette. I think I’d like to get one of these for next fall. But maybe not in white – I have too much of a propensity to spill things. Like coffee and red wine.

On our way to Miss Sixty afterparty – the show was awesome. Pics of the show, and media frenzy over Mischa Barton, coming soon! Also hope to get better images of our outfits but Shallom’s camera is dead for now.

Shallom: Obakki leggings, Dace tank, deadboys clubhouse leather jacket, parts by heather headpiece

Favourite shots from the Lacoste show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. I loved the colour palette here; mustard yellows, rich creams, and a collection of muted hues for the line of big woolly jackets and sweaters. My only criticism of the line is the flimsy jersey pants, and the models were walking with hands in pockets and it looked quite terrible to see the silhouette of the hand bulging through the pockets.
Very few embellishments on the pieces. Designer Christophe Lemaire cited Diane Keaton as Annie Hall as part of his inspiration for a bulk of the collection.

Loved the ties:

Boys and their sweaters:

Lush oversized winter sweater, and those mustard gloves. Great colour combination, and so very sexy:

If you’re going to go, go all the way. Not too sure about those socks overtop of the pant hem, though…

All in all, I really liked this collection. The right amount of coziness and chic – simply comfortable clothes that look damn good.
We briefly covered this earlier today but here’s some better shots of the outfits du jour.
