In a brilliant move, women's clothing line Honor placed glass water bottles as favors on all of the chairs at their New York show. Great idea, right? Keep guests hydrated. Zero calories. Pretty, delicate bottles. What could possibly go wrong? Looks like no one considered that fashionistas would be teetering about in heels, their bulky handbags swaying to and fro, as they squeezed by one another to get to their seats. After the bottles started shattering to the floor everywhere, the show's PR rep had to hire someone on the spot to go around cleaning up the puddles and glass shards that littered the show. And just as one mess was cleaned up, the sound of another bottle crashing to the floor summoned the worker to clear the next casualty. Kind of makes you appreciate your day job just a little bit better now, doesn't it?
After 16 years of glorious partnership and haute couture, Marc Jacobs showed his last line with Louis Vuitton at Paris Fashion Week. As his contract comes to an end, Marc Jacobs is saying au revoir to the company to focus on his own line. He will be working with business partner Robert Duffy with the hopes of taking the Marc Jacobs line public in two to three years. We'll follow you anywhere, Marc.
These ... uh ... unique looks happened on the runway at London Fashion Week. How exactly you're supposed to take these from runway to real life is beyond me. Lucky for these designers, they'll always have Lady Gaga.
Also spotted at NYFW: Hannibal Lecter meets headgear meets Victorian bird cage. While her makeup is killer, her facemask/pacifier/rose headband combo is just ... confusing.
While Justin Beiber was busy forsaking his razor, Selena Gomez made bondage look extra sexy in this Versace dress at the Milan show. (Eat your heart out, JBiebs.) The singer who has recently been seen lunching with Anna Wintour could very well be my next fashion icon.
Fashion Month always lingers in my mind far past September. The gorgeous gowns, unforgettable makeup, and of course the outrageous and hilarious moments that crop up amongst all the day-to-day action.
