New York Fashion Week Studio: Hanii Y's Vintage Meets Modern Amusement Park

I arrived at the Met Promenade a bit early for Hanii Y's Spring/Summer 2009 showcase, and was immediately struck by its bright white walls, digital art, and dreamy music. Once I entered and took in the production of the ever so fittingly titled "Sleepwalking Park," the aura in the room shifted, the crowd settled, and everything seemed to move in slow motion. Models stood amidst the sculptural pillars, draped in Hanii Y's signature vintage-meets modern styles. Structured skirts paired with draped tees, sheer summerweight sweaters in vibrant greens and yellows, and carefully draped toppers were met with patent belts, white oxfords, and chunky patent platform heels. Classic khaki trenches framed hot pink and orange chiffon dresses, proof that the neon-neutral trend will be sticking around for awhile. The occasional leather jacket and exposed zipper stood out as well, adding some of-the-moment edge to the characteristically feminine line.

Runway Review: The Future of Fashion at Academy of Art

Last week I had the honor of attending the brilliant graduation fashion show of San Francisco's Academy of Art, which honored Ralph Rucci and James Galanos. When I attended last year (we interviewed Zac Posen!), I was pleasantly surprised at the level of talent, artistry, and professionalism the students demonstrated. Needless to say, I was ready for some action this year. A student fashion show is one in which the designers can be more experimental, and inspirations ranged from claustrophobia and chaos to fairy tales and Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni (Google it!). See the SLIDESHOW for my favorite picks and fall 2008 trends (no plaid!).

Project Runway: Stylehive Interviews Last Night's Booted Cast Member!

There is one simple word that describes last night's episode of Project Runway: SHOCKING. The panic was palpable as the designers learned their models were replaced with real women who had recently lost a significant amount of weight. Of course, it wouldn't be Project Runway without a catch. This challenge entailed creating a beautiful new look for the women using their favorite pre-weight loss outfit. The new look must be both wearable and practical, addressing the woman's daily needs in addition to reflecting the designer's distinctive style. The shock factor didn't stop there though. I think a resounding "oh my lordy!' could be heard far and wide when...

StyleSteal: Where to Get The Girls of the Hills' Finale Look

Monday night's huge Hills extravaganza celebrating the finale (appropriately held at Area, the Hollywood hot-spot home to so much of this season's deliciously juicy drama) was more of an excuse for the stars to get decked out and party since- as we later learned- the season isn't even over yet! Now that we can all breathe a sigh of relief, knowing our favorite serial dating, trend-setting party girls aren't abandoning us just yet, we can focus on more important issues- such as where to buy the amazing dresses the girls rocked on the red carpet before the pretend last show!
