Profane Grocery Wear to the Amish Nun: The Worst of Fashion Week

Fashion Week was this past week. You may have noticed many blogs covering items from the shows, providing face charts, and chatting about their trips to New York. Since I don’t really cover clothing much and prefer to spend my money on purchases of fashion items that are actually wearable rather than on expensive trips to see concepts, I did not attend Fashion Week. I suspect my feet also thank me for that since I’m pretty sure that attending Fashion Week involves some mandatory wearing of incredibly cute but torturously uncomfortable shoes, and I don’t do those very well.

In honor of not going to Fashion Week and in saving my feet, I decided to forgo the face charts and favorites this year and skip right to the weird, odd, and hideous. That stuff is much more interesting anyway isn’t it?

This is a shopping bag worn with tighty whities from the Jeremy Scott show. Oh the creativity! There was another version with profanity on it involving the letters f and u (or y if you prefer spelling over phonetics), but I have to keep the advertisers happy here so I couldn’t publish it.

I like prints. I even like yellow handbags, bright shoes, and green eye shadow. But not all at once. You can thank Zac Posen for this mishmash.

Here is a model taking a fall at Zac Posen. Falls happen, so that isn’t a biggie. What is interesting is that the fall has the fortunate effect of distracting from the odd combo of a frumpy dress over a an equally frumpy Tshirt and pants.

The Richie Rich Show is always good for some laughs. I really wanted to show a good bare butt shot here, but I fear that my advertisers would not like that.

Whoo hoo! Furry bikini bottoms for boys!

I believe these are spectators. At least they have clothes on.

Ellen DeGeneres sported a goofy mini hat on the runway. That was kind of a mean thing to do to her.

Yeah, I know that no one should take Richie Rich seriously. But it is still pretty darn ugly stuff. It must be possible to make fetish inspired club wear that actually looks good? OK, maybe not….Nevermind… Let’s move on to something serious and important. How about Project Runway and former dancing stars?

As much as I adore Project Runway, their show always has a few oddities. Aside from weird, those pants don’t appear to fit right and the model has a scrap of blue fabric stuck to her head. No wonder she looks sad. Kelly Osborne attended Fashion Week. She looked very fluffy.

This is some interesting frump at the Argentina Group show where the look is something akin to an Amish Nun. I guess it beats grocery bags with profanity though.

Fashion Week Favorites From Cynthia Steffe

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is underway. During the next week I will highlight some of my favorite looks for fall 2010.

OK, so onto the shows! Fashion week always makes me want the clothes right now! This is especially true for the fall collections because it is always chilly during those shows. But you will have to wait for fall 2010.  My first favorite is this look from Cynthia Steffe Fall 2010. I love the leather jumper dress and have always been a fan of squared neck lines. The hat is also a cute touch.

Here are a couple of more favorites of mine from Cynthia Steffe. In fact, the more I look at photos from the show, the more I find that I like. So, as I’m writing this, I decide that this will be a post dedicated to Cynthia Steffe. I’m loving the looks!

Here are a couple of more. My fall shopping budget may already be spoken for and it is only the start of fashion week.

MAC Cosmetics and LAMB at New York Fashion Week (Milk Studios)

Fashion week has began! I love LAMB and always rush first to see what Gwen Stefani has new for us. For fall 2010 LAMB has some lovely pieces in various fall shades of gray, brown and black. Just in the first day’s material so far I have seen a trend among the shows toward mixing brown with gray and utilizing thigh high boots and stockings—a look that I really like.

I think the below combo of leather pants and interesting shirt is my favorite from the collection.  I also love the dress and high boots.

Here is a group shot that gives a good look at much of the LAMB fall collection as a whole:

MAC Cosmetics did the makeup for the LAMB fashion show. The look featured heavy, smoky eyes with a bright fuchsia red lip. The look was very dramatic. I’m a fan! the face chart for the makeup look is below:
