Best of London, Milan Fashion Week – now Paris (!!!)

Perrin Drumm — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:31:02 +0000

Fashion week in NY may be a thing of the past, and the designers who showed at London and Milan are now breathing a sigh of post-show relief, but the runways of Paris are just starting to heat up. Paris Fashion Week may just be the most exciting of all, and a daily check-in at Full Frontal Fashion will ensure that you don't miss a thing....

Patagonia’s Common Threads: buy less, buy used

Got your fill of Fashion Week? Feeling a little hung over from the barrage of new designs for next Spring (and perhaps a few after-party cocktails)? If so, what's on the docket for last Spring's garb? A call to Goodwill for a pick-up? A sneaky trip out to the dumpster? How about selling last season's clothes on eBay?

Fashion Week finale

How did we rate what fashion powerhouses Calvin Klein, Proenza Schouler and Philip Lim sent down the runway?

Rag&Bone shows us how to rock the poncho with their tailored, fringed version, and Paula Abdul provides a regrettable how-to-most-definitely-not. The walk through Lincoln Plaza from the street to the guarded entry of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week can be an intimidating stretch of pavement, lined with fashion bloggers and street style photographers snapping away. It's almost like fashion's final judgment day: make it all the way without getting your picture taken at least once and it's as if the gods of fashion are booming down, "Your outfit sucks!" See who our street style team deemed worthy enough to stop and shoot.

See what we have to say about what Preen, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Derek Lam sent down the runway. Go backstage at Rebecca Minkoff, where the hair was the mane (couldn't help myself) attraction.

Fashion Week – A board mood

Bradford Shellhammer — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:51:28 +0000

Fashion Week has come and gone from NYC never again returning to the tents of Bryant Park. And while most New Yorkers have had their share of fashion for a bit I'd be remiss not to post here this slide show Vogue ran before the hoopla began. It highlights designer mood boards and inspiration walls. I find it fascinating to have a peek into the the creative process. And I also have had fun taking the mood board image and comparing it to the actual collections that were shown. The image above is from Jason Wu. He wrote “My fall 2010 collection is inspired by Irving Penn, by both his work and personal style. I applied the grainy textures of his photo negatives to intricately woven and printed fabrics and paired them with a slouchy menswear silhouette he often favored.”

Take a bow, or not

Bradford Shellhammer — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:00:23 +0000

As Fashion Week winds down here in the Big Apple and the dust settles many a gay are left talking about what's happening in fashion. Yes, we gays discuss fashion. I know, shocking. The press is picking up on a new trend that even I, one of the biggest gays in this oh-so gay town, could not possibly pull off. Bows. Yes, those bows. The ones on Minnie Mouse's head and your Prom date's satin pink dress. Those bows.

Bloggers as fashion muses

Bradford Shellhammer — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:40:10 +0000

The Wall Street Journal, a paper not necessarily known for its fashion coverage, had an interesting article recently about the influence bloggers now have over big name fashion designers. Where in recent years political bloggers have received more and more credit and credibility for their writings, and audience numbers, style bloggers not so much. Until now.
