Ten Collections to Care About

Alexander McQueen By Julian Reeves

| ejing magazine

Lee Alexander McQueen 1969-2010

There is a certain amount of myth that surrounds the life and work of Lee Alexander

McQueen, who in a short period of time became one of the most influential designers in history. The Bad Boy of fashion was a visionary, artist, rebel, angel, devil, prophet, genius, magician, and more of a force than a human being. His collections were always rich with context, be it experimental or exposing, and he never disappointed. The following are ten

collections that exhibit the different sides of McQueen, in all aspects of his life. Enjoy.

Nihilism Spring / Summer 1994

McQueen’s first professional show was all about exposure, vulnerability, and revolution. Staged in a retired garage, models smeared with blood and dirt staggered down the runway, as if they had been in a car accident. The clothes ranged from clear plastic skirts, with nothing underneath, to sharp fitted suits. One model wore a turtleneck short dress, with the fabric either wetted or laminated to expose her breasts. Another model wore beautifully tailored pants with slits all the way up the back of her leg. The audience had mixed feelings, but many identified the young designer’s work as “Something new to say.”


No. 13 Spring / Summer 1999

McQueen’s thirteenth show exhibited his fascination with craft, handiwork, and

machinery. Inspired by the work of William Morris and Rebecca Horn, No. 13 featured elegant designs, paired with materials not commonly used in fashion. Models wore silk

trousers with corsets made of gigantic balsawood wings. Aimee Mullins, Paralympic athlete, modeled a pair of hand carved and heeled prosthetic legs. The finale consisted of

Shalom Harlow, in a voluminous white cotton dress, spinning on a pedestal, as two robotic arts sprayed her with paint. Compared to Nihilism, this collection explored the

beauty of McQueen’s experiments.


Voss Spring / Summer 2001

Voss catered to McQueen’s love of bizarre and macabre history. Inspired by accounts of

Victorian mental hospitals, Voss featured an array of new materials, silhouettes, and performance aspects, all contained within a bright, mirrored cube. Wearing dresses made of puzzle pieces, stuffed falcons, and razor clams, models wandered haphazardly inside of

the space. Some of them twitched, some twirled, and some even trashed the garments they wore. At the end of the show, a glass case positioned in the center of the cube broke

open, revealing a large nude woman with her head covered, and several tubes leading from her throat.


It’s Only a Game Spring / Summer 2005

In McQueen’s S/S 2005 collection, models were arranged on the runway by race, hair

colour, and style of garment. The models would walk, just like in a regular show, but then they would line up, and wouldn’t leave the stage. The audience was perplexed by the

choreography, but enthralled by the clothing. Modern bustles, intricate hairpieces, and McQueen’s beautiful tailoring held the audience together, until the lights came down, and the stage became a gigantic chessboard. The models, arranged as the pieces, then began to

play, until a winner was decided.


The Widows of Culloden Fall / Winter 2006-07

McQueen had an intense fascination with genealogy, and he proved that with his 2006-07 F/W collection. Featuring gorgeous tartan, lace, feather, and fur

pieces, The Widows of Culloden quickly became one of McQueen’s strongest collections, and brought a strong, yet beautiful view of Scotland to his viewers. There wasn’t an overwhelming performance aspect, because he let the clothes speak for themselves. Phillip Treacy, the famed milliner and

McQueen’s personal friend, created several pieces for this collection, including the Perspex antlers seen above.


La Dame Bleue Spring / Summer 2008

In 2007, McQueen lost his longtime friend Isabella Blow to suicide. In her honour, he and Treacy collaborated on a show, inspired by Blow’s favourite things. Inspiration included

her closet, quotes by her, and birds. The clothing was relatively simple, featuring patterns and cuts that Blow loved to wear. McQueen revisited some of his past collections, and recreated pieces. Treacy made various hats especially for the collection, including the

turkey feather butterflies seen above. Each piece was handmade, and though it was a fairly light collection, it was an unbelievably somber event.


The Girl Who Lived in the Tree Fall / Winter 2008-09

McQueen’s love of history continued into his F/W 2008-09 collection, The Girl Who

Lived in the Tree. Inspired by British Royals, and a fairy tale McQueen wrote himself, he created this collection with a sort of dark fantasy in mind. Using generous amounts of

tulle, rich Indian fabrics, and glittering jewelry by Shaun Leane, McQueen told one of the greatest fashion fairytales of all time. In the story, a girl who lived in a giant oak tree was

coaxed out by a prince, married him, and became a queen. Such romance and magic wasn’t usually put on a runway, and yet McQueen did it.


The Horn of Plenty Fall / Winter 2009-10

In a time of economic difficulty, McQueen toyed with the idea of recycling.

Using pieces from past collections, creative new materials, and even junk, he created The Horn of Plenty, a retrospective and commentary on reuse in the fashion industry. Hounds tooth patterns, fabrics milled to look like garbage

bags, and hats made from pop cans swept their way on top of towering platform heels. The models circled a giant pile of junk, featuring some props from past shows, on a runway made of cracked mirrors. Some called it farce, and others called it one of the most important collections in fashion history.


!

Plato’s Atlantis Spring / Summer 2010

As shown in No. 13, McQueen had an interest in technology, and marrying it to old world

ideas. In Plato’s Atlantis, he imagined what would happen if humans returned to the oceans, where all life began, and what resulted stands today as one of his most famous

collections. Complex patterns, geometric clothing, and almost mathematic detailing made up the bulk of this collection. What accompanied it were two technological aspects: live streaming, and robotics. Photographer Nick Knight filmed and live streamed the show

over the Internet, with the help of a crew, and two robotic cameras that followed models along the runway.


!

Posthumous Collection (Angels and Demons)

Fall / Winter 2010-11

In 2010, Alexander McQueen committed suicide after the death of his mother a few days before. The industry ground to halt as editors ran out of shows to write articles, make

statements, and pay their respects. McQueen was halfway through a collection at the time of his death, and in his honor, the sixteen ensembles he had nearly finished were shown to a small group of guests. The pieces were inspired by old masters and Byzantine artists,

and featured everything that McQueen was: history, detail, concept, art, beauty, and humanity.

Ach i e v e an Ade l e Hol iday Look

It’s finally time for the holidays! When I

think of glamorous looks, I always look

to Adele for inspiration. She has the

best makeup for the holidays or any

red carpet event in my opinion. Her

2012 Grammy look was elegant by

highlighting her best features making

her look flawless. Follow these steps

for the perfect holiday party look!

Stay Gorgeous,

Maria

Step 1: Apply a light gold shimmer color all over the lids Step 2: Apply a light brown color on the crease and blend up Step 3: Use a dark black liner and apply a small or large wing, depending on your liking (if you are not use to making a winged liner I suggest you practice because it takes time to make the perfect wing!) Step 4: Apply Mascara or fake lashes Step 5: Apply the foundation of your color Step 6: Make the perfect red lip!

The “New Kind on the Block” is now Jason Wu, and the whole fashion world is utterly obsessed with him. His

radiant confidence, among with his natural humility and his dreamer eyes make people admire him far beyond him,

but an appreciation for his work.


ittle known Jason Wu started his interest in fashion when he was in school. At a-ge 16, he had alre-

ady studied sculpture in Tokyo and began his fashi-on career by making freel-ance doll clothing designs for Integrity Toys; in wh-ich he had his own line. Later, he realized he wan-ted to be a designer and soon graduated from The N-ew School at Parsons

o top of the world. His first line came out in 2006 with to-tal success and won the Fashion Group I-

nternational’s Rising Star Award in 2008, in the same year he was also nominated for the VOGUE Fashion Fund Award. Quickly, he escala-ted the ladder of success designing for customers such as Ivana Trump, Amber Vallentta, RuPaul, January Jones, and his client that propelled him into the sp-otlight: Michelle Obama. His sudden success allowed him to become the most in-fluential and admired you-ng fashion designer.

!


ichelle Obama Influ-ence. Michelle Obama is considered Jason Wu’s career launcher. His work with the Fi-

rst Lady started with And-ré Leon Talley introduced them to each other as he was providing style advice to her. Ever since, Miche-lle wears his creations quite frequently during public appearances and wo-re a Jason Wu dress for her VOGUE spread. The most memorable design was when he let Michelle Obama wear was the white chiffon one-shoulder dress the night of Barack Obama’s inaugur-ation at the inaugural ba-ll. This was recognized as one of her best looks if not the best look she was worn.

is style and aesthe-tic. Jason’s designs are known for being versatile and ageless as well as being fil-

led with contract and a t-ouch of lady-like classic sophistication. The chara-cteristics in his silhoue-tte is based on classic elements such as A-Line, pencil skirts, sleeveless sheaths, high-waisted sho-rts, and overall elements that compliment the waist-line on a woman.

It’s almost as it he is always giving us an examp-le of what Christian Dior

himself preached in 1947 when he inven-ted the ‘New Look.’ His aesthetic has lots of influence from his Asian bac-kground, as we can see in his FW’12 c-ollection the clear inspiration with cut jackets, print-s, and gold detail-s. He contrasted a-ll of this with a dash of military references such as jackets and army pants.

Chanel* #prefall2013

Ever since Gabrielle Chanel started her business back in the 40’s she has used tweeds and knits from Scotland. And that was the starting point for Karl Lagerfeld, Scotland and the romanticism from the Elizabethan Era. For Chanel, the pre-fall collection are not simply lookbooks, they are runway show presentations that celebrate the craftsmanship of

every single person collaborating to make the collection possible. From jewelers to embroiders, as well as shoe makers and milliners, this collection was all about details.

Elaborate layering was really present in this collection; tweeds on top of knits and changing the length of skirts made this heavy collection look lighter. Another element used was tartans. This time the focus on styling was the contrast of

different geometric patterns mixed together. Classic Chanel accessories done in a new material added a breath of fresh air to the pieces Karl has reworked every season. And even though the quantity of looks was flooded, the

transition between them didn’t affect the whole product. The last looks were perfection: white ivory, Elizabethan inspired basically resumed the show. Personally, I would have loved to see more of those last white looks, but in

general the collection was incredible as always since there seems to be more focus on the side collection than on the couture.

Celine* #prefall2013

Little by little unknown designers are starting to take on a role of changing fashion, in this case Phoebe Philo. A fresh new eye can change the typical silhouettes and transforming the way we see fashion. For this season she presented clothes that would embrace the woman’s body rather than hiding it. Big-fitting coats, pants, and shirts paired with

body conscious accessories such as tight belts and high-waisted pants gave women options to play around with proportions. A lot of covering with the layered styling changed the look, giving women options. Philo not only

proposed great clothing pieces but also incredible accessories, such as bags and belts, which tied the collection together very well. Big variety of materials used, such as leather, wool, and fur; that added that extra factor of

luxurious clothes Celine is now known for.

3.1 Phillip Lim #prefall2013

Inspired by bikers and the entire environment of hard rock from the 90’s, Phillip Lim took tough inspiration and turned it into feminine modern clothes that any girl would want. And as we all know, styling has now become one of

the most important elements in these day’s collections.

Using the tough element of rock, Phillip used black leather and applied it into all the collection, from gloves to thigh-high boots and also jackets. Contemporary jackets with mixed materials, such as leopard print with leather, paired with plain shirts switched the mood of dressing into a more dark yet serious at the same time. The workmanship done in the pants were simply masterful and the use of color was spot on, the collection consisted of navy blue

mostly with black and some touches of prints.

!!


Gucci #prefall2013

Inspired by embellishments from military uniforms, Frida Giannini made Italy proud with the masterful tailoring in this season’s lookbook collection. Keeping it dark as usual for a pre-fall collection, Gucci took on dark grays, brick red,

military green, black, and turquoise. The addition of prints and lace made this tough Gucci woman feel sexy in a conservative way. The focus on construction was present all over the coats. Either the sleeves or the shoulders were

exaggerated to create new bold shaped and accentuate part of the body people don’t normally acknowledge. There is something special about this ethereal elegance of the 50’s that brushed this collection beautifully.

!!


Jason Wu #prefall2013

Continuing with the same rebellious state of mind, Jason Wu was inspired by S&M and his own dark side. Perhaps that’s exactly what he wants the woman he dresses to feel. To feel proud of her dark side and still be very pretentious

but confident. Even though leather was the main material in this collection, sequins played a huge roll for eveningwear and sheer fabric made that woman even sexier. Playing with very dark colors such as black, purple, dark green and red; bright yellow, white and gold injected some lightness to the collection. Dark and mysterious is what

intrigues people, and Jason Wu is on track with that.

Michael Kors #prefall2013

Michael Kors is known for giving us bright colors for some fall collections and this season was not the exception. And if you buy those clothes for sure you’ll be the first one to be found in a dark room. This collection in particular was

inspired by his new favorite show called Killer Karaoke, but in reality how could he get inspired by people that sing while trying to guess weird disgusting things through a black sheet? But his obvious inspiration came from the 50’s glamorous style that is now on trend, apparently. Floral prints, fur coats, leather jackets, laced pants and skirts, big-fitting shirts, and gloves composed this exceptional collection as one of the most outstanding lookbook collections Mr. Kors has shown. Maybe there is something about the 50’s that will always come back to inspired people of our

generation.

Missoni #prefall2013

A fashion house known for its incredible workmanship with knits, Missoni decided to take a new turn for this season while still maintaining their stamp in the knitwear department. Designer Angela Missoni introduced a menswear

element to the collection. Shades of grey, purple, brown, dark mustard yellow, blue and black were the only colors presented. The Missoni woman can now layer her outstanding knit dress over a coat and paired it with knit stockings.

The last portion of the collection was the most outstanding because of the use of sheer knits placed one on top of another to created different shades of black. Similar to a trend shown in the spring collections were the styling of

thigh-high boots with short skirts and tailored jackets. The irony of adding feminine touches to menswear was turned upside down this time to create this incredible collection.

!!


Narcisco Rodriguez #prefall2013

As one of the best minimal designers in New York Fashion Week, Narciso Rodriguez kept going with the same idea of simple and intricate rather than ‘flamboyant’ and ‘on your face’ clothes. For this lookbook collection he focused on

tailored clothes that would work for any occasion. Leather shirts paired with the right pants changed the skinny pant silhouette that has been on trend for the past 5 years. The length of the skirts changed. Below the knee seems to be Mr. Rodriguez’s proposition to change the way people look at sexy now-a-days. Inner sexiness is what he wants his

costumer to have while wearing his clothes.

!!


Balenciaga #prefall2013

After 15 years of reworking the Balenciaga woman, Nicolas Ghesquière’s dismissal shocked the fashion world. Soon after, Alexander Wang was appointed head designer for the brand, yet this particular collection was done entirely by

the house’s team of designers. Keeping in mind that the house of Balenciaga was very famous for its construction and incredible tailoring, the collection showcased pieces that presented that workmanship. They also paid homage to Ghesquière’s use of rich textures that made clothes look so rich. It was quite unusual the use of only dark colors in the collection, aside from one peach coat, and the sad floral prints on some items. Styling heavy coats with printed skinny

pants softened the looks. The use of techniques celebrated what Cristobal Balenciaga created back in the 60’s. It is just a question of time to see Wang’s vision for the brand Nicolas built back up.

!!


Louis Vuitton #prefall2013

Marc Jacobs is a chameleon when it comes to Louis Vuitton, changing the concept entirely every season. This time he moved from chess board to Addams Family meets girly chic. Concentrating on shoulders and the mini skirt, it is now

all about focusing on the torso. Black, red, blue, and a touch of dark cream were the only colors presented for this lookbook collection. Wide shoulder jackets tailored masterfully to add volume to the sleeves. Moving away from

serious dark clothes, Mr. Jacobs played with the clothes by injecting some groovy from the 60’s. Quite genius the way he tricked us with the prints by having printed lace on some looks to make it easier to wear, sometimes our eyes do play games to our minds. It seems as if he was trying to pay more attention to the clothes this time, instead of just

plastering the looks with unnecessary bags and accessories.

!!


Stella McCartney #prefall2013

The queen of sportswear chic managed to continue making sportswear appealing to the luxurious masses. This season Stella McCartney added some stripes and huge coats to change the game plan. The Stella woman knows she’s very sexy, yet there’s no need to show what you have, right? Big-fitting coats, pants, shirts, sweaters, and skirts were

the focal point to start with. Women-friendly coats with many pockets, which perhaps explains there were only 7 bags in the 32 lookbook collection. Though some of the last dresses were a total miss, the coats saved the collection. This

woman is not about tight clothes; she celebrates her life and is very comfortable and confident with herself.

!!


Chloe #prefall2013

Sweet is not always a compliment when it comes to describing women now-a-days, but this Chloe girl is perhaps the sweetest one this seasons. Pastels throughout all the collection mixed with black pieces were the contrast that pulled

this collection together. The coats were very masculine and tailored to perfection along with the airy, light dresses. Bootcut pants seemed to be the new ‘thing’ this season with leather boots and a plain t-shirt. The use of beautiful

skirts with formal shirts changed the atmosphere and added sophistication to the looks. Prints were very toned down to focus more on the details on the clothes and not get carried away by them directly.

!!


Christopher Kane #prefall2013

Memorable. That is one of the first words that come to our minds when thinking about Christopher Kane’s collections. This season he was inspired by vintage horror films to create this closet full of pieces that would intrigue

and inspired people to want to own crazy clothes. And following with the same theme of obscure film is the dark color palette of blues, purples, gray, and black. Instead of making cute cocktail dresses, Kane made off-fitting dresses by

changing the proportions and playing with sheer fabrics to create some gentleness. Velvet and fur simply came along the lines for this collection, fur dresses and shirts and why not add some blue floral prints. This is exactly what Kane is

known for; changing what we normally find appealing and adding some twist to get our attention on his contemporary, playful clothes.

‘Tis the season to bring out the party dresses. Whether it’s a New Years Eve bash or black tie dinner, there isn’t a better time to bring out the classic LBD (aside from every other 364 days of the year.) A

Chanel staple and Audrey Hepburn favorite, the iconic little black dress is the essential item of clothing in every woman’s’ closet. Dress it up, dress it down, it should be something you’ll want to wear again and again. Check out these 11 delightful LBDs, at different price points you’ll love, there’s something in the

bag for everybody! By Lily Tan

| ejing magazine

Halston Heritage | $495 This Halston dress is perfect for the uptown chic look. You can almost see Carrie Bradshaw running around town in it with; strutting in her favorite Manolos, hair slicked back in a bun, showing off new diamond earrings and a sparkly clutch. The cotton-silk blend is luxurious, while the simple clean silhouette of the flare circle skirt with pleats, and conservatively plunged V-neck is very chic. The ruffled organza detail at the waist creates an asymmetrical interest and a bit of party fun.

Aqua | $88

This Aqua LBD is seamless for those holiday parties. A cute lace yoke that dips into a V back shows off the sweetheart neckline

without being too revealing. The pleated skirt adds a sweet touch, and is age appropriate for those who are looking for a LBD that isn’t too sexy. This dress can be worn casually, throw over some

tights, a belted cardigan with a pair of charming flats; or pair it up with heels and chandelier earrings for a holiday party. You can

even go grunge glam with studded boots and a leather motorcycle jacket. This versatile LBD is young and flirty, but party appropriate.

Aidan Mattox | $170 This textured poly, nylon, spandex blended color blocked LBD is modern, comfortable, and chic for parties or the office. This is the perfect dress for the fashion conscious girl—the asymmetry of the color blocked panels is on trend. This dress has an edgy downtown chic vibe with the graphic colors that pop and will steal looks at a party. Dress it up with edgy ankle booties and chunky jewelry in coordinating colors or even a fur vest to luxe it up.

Kate Spade New York | $398

This sweet Kate Spade LBD is a great choice for the holiday parties that call for a more conservative dress code. This feminine frock has

a chic girl next door vibe that is appropriate for family gatherings and parties. The doodled on quality of the polka dot pattern

printed on silk with a flared sleeve at the elbow has a charming quality that is retro chic. A keyhole back button closure shows ever

so slightly a bit of skin. Wear this dress with pops of color in accessories would stay true to the sweet girl aesthetic that is Kate

Spade New York.

H&M | $49.95 This fun and flirty H&M dress screams 1920’s flapper at a Great Gatsby themed party. Bring this LBD dress out for the holidays and the New Year’s Eve parties. The straight cut mesh fabric embroidered to give the illusion of a dropped waist is on trend for the season. The embroidery is the shining factor to the dress that elongates the figure with the art deco inspired vertical lines and scalloped hem. Pair this with a helmet style hat and chic bob cut for the 20’s inspired look or throw in a feather boa for a chic costume party in style.

Alice + Olivia | $4950

Peplum is one of the biggest trends for the past few seasons; there is no reason why it wouldn’t show up on a chic LBD dress. This

feminine strapless Alice + Olivia dress is sophisticated and party perfect. It can be worn formally, to a wedding, or casually for

cocktails. This dress is great to wear with a statement necklace or jewelry and a great pair of heels. Pair it with a classic such as the

Chanel lambskin quilted flap bag for a stylish yet timeless Madison Ave chic look.

| ejing magazine

Susana Monaco | $116 For the stylish downtown girl who wants to be comfy and casual in her LBD, this cut out jersey dress is perfect for the girl with a bit of edge. The cut outs in the front and back of the dress have a sporty touch that is on trend for the season and for parties. The body hugging silhouette thanks to a nylon-supplex-Lycra blend highlights the figure and the cut outs add a cool girl touch. Wear this with leather and ankle boots for a casual cool LBD look.

BDBGMAXAZRIA | $398

The LBD in lace is the perfect sexy pick me up for any occasion. Bring it out for date night or a formal dinner; you can easily dress it

up with red lips, gold jewelry and killer heels. Or bring out the fur coat and dramatic earrings to play it foxy. The lace and structured boning in the bodice make it sophisticated and luxurious. Live la

dolce vita with this Dolce & Gabbana inspired dress for the BCBGMAXAZRIA price.

Vera Wang Lavender | $345 This chic LBD dress by Vera Wang Lavender is a no brainer cocktail dress for evening parties and events. The soft jersey in an asymmetrical one shoulder drapes over your body with panels that form a body hugging shape. The simple shape allows you to layer on accessories without overwhelming the dress for a fun party. But it is also formal enough to wear to a wedding party. Bring out the pearls and leather, throw on a LBJ (tweed anyone?) and you’re ready to go.

| ejing magazine

McQ by Alexander McQueen | $355

This McQ LBD is for the girl who wants the least boring dress in the entire party. The X-Ray like print that skims over the front is edgy

and cool, sure enough to be eye catching at any party. The bold print calls for the rocker chic girl who doesn’t want to be super

girly. Pair it up with Alex Wang shoes and a Proenza PS1 for the model off duty kind of cool relaxed look. This is perfect for the girl

who loves to mix high street and high fashion into her city chic look.

BCBGMAXAZRIA | $398 This fun sparkling oversized paillette embellished dress from BCBGMAXAZRIA is the perfect party dress for those who want a LBD that dazzles without the tacky exaggeration of sequins. The sheer mesh overlay is the perfect touch to “show” skin appropriately. This dress will dazzle at every party you wear it to, and is perfect shine for NYE parties. Pair it with minimal accessories since the dress already sparkles itself; try to keep the bling matte for a play on texture.

the most hectic and important week to all of the fashion industry. New York Fashion We-ek once reigned at Bryant Park tents, but has been held at Lincoln Center beginning 2 short years ago. Since then, doubt for its

move has dimini-shed and grace and elegance has persev-ered. Now Columb-us Circle and Linc-oln Center has turned into a landmark for fashion as the new addition to the perfo-rming arts that it has be-en known for. Th-ere are some good rules to follow to

make the best of Fashion Week. Rules are meant to be broken, but the basics never go out of style just like the LBD has always been a staple in every girl’s closet. There are very basic Do’s and Don’ts.

NYFW DO’S AND DON’TS By Lily Tan

With just a few weeks until the Fall 2013 season of Fashion Week, we are all waiting to see the n-ext ‘it’ trends. Excited, eager, anxious are some mixed emotions one might feel in anticipation of Fashion Week. Especially being born and imme-rsed in a city like N-ew York, where NYFW takes place twice a year in the much-celebrated Li-ncoln Center, I, like many others create our lives and our ca-reers around this bi-annual event. Are we all on our toes yet? Literally, imagine b-eing in die-high heels, waiting for seats. 1 hour is what the invite says, but 20 minutes a normal show’s run, but it takes months of prep work, and every second is worth it. In anticipation for the upcoming season, let’s take a look at how to survive and man-age


DO wear heels, they are a must. The rule of fashion week is the higher the better. Beauty is pain. You need to make many sacrifices for fashion, as do the designers do for their work too. However, we are not all Victoria Beckhams. A good rule of thumb is to always have a pair or flats to change in. Don’t

go inside with flats (unless you’re suffering a leg injury of some sort.) You will be cau-ght dead in a pair of flats inside. Stay safe. Change into heels beforehand, and cha-nge back into flats after. If you are carrying a small clutch that barely holds anything but is super chic, carry some scrunchable flats. You can be a lady and change back into them in your cab on your way back. Or just do it the ever-chic independent Sex and the City way and carry your heels. Just make sure you have shoes on to avoid the Carrie just getting her favorite Manolos robbed look. DO arrive half an hour before the show if you ever get a ticket. Ex: 1:30 for 2:00. Se-ats are not first come first serve, but it is definitely not a good idea to get there and be late—ending up with someone stealing your seat! It is also the time for photo-ops outside. Bloggers and professional photographers cover streetstyle, Bill Cunningham, Tommy Ton and the Sartorialist. Tourists and onlookers are all there to get the best pictures. It never hurts to arrive early, but DON’T be late unless you are pulling a Kim-ye at Stéphane Rolland Paris Couture Fashion Week (which doesn’t work unless you are Kimye or similar.) DO wear black, its season-less, timeless, chic, classic and is flattering for all shapes and sizes. Black will never fail you. However if you are feeling ‘all-black-is-soo-PR’ to-day, go for pieces that make a statement. An outfit that’s boldly styled in a chic man-ner might just be snapped for WWD. DO help yourself to sponsored water, drinks and goodies. There is usually a chic co-ffee shop and bakery located inside, so get your caffeine and energy bars to fuel up in between. DO get your WWD (if you already don’t) and Daily Front Row fix. They are given out to make sure you catch up on the latest news and stories if you haven’t already. You can also subscribe and read it daily to know the latest information in the entire indu-stry from beauty to retail.

DO’S


DO follow the Buddy System. The Buddy System is so-mething I made up that works efficiently most of the ti-me. Unless you are going solo, or already are sitting in a desirable seat, there is no reason you would not wa-nt to move to a better seat. The Buddy System is if yo-

u are going with one acquaintance, stay with them and especially 10 minutes before the show starts, be a socializer. If the show is set in a smaller compacted, highly re-gulated by security show like in the Stage, your chances of the Buddy System are lower. However if a show is held in the Theatre, where there is anywhere from multip-le hundreds up to thousand guests, you have higher chances of it working. You and your buddy with socialize all over. Go take photos and meet the celebrities and styli-sts. Your cue to start moving and eyeing seats left over in the first 2 rows are when the seats are pretty much filled and the show is about to start as you notice like the silence before the storm. There will most likely be good seats that are untaken in the front. It may have been reserved for the editor or buyer that didn’t attend and etc. Yo-u and you buddy need to look for more than one seat missing in a row. Most likely th-ey are the ones that will not be taken. Make a chic walk for it and claim it like it was intended to be yours. Unless the seats in the very prime spots where it is marked wi-th the names, your chances will be higher in a big show. You are safe when the plast-ic gets pulled off the runway. DO create your own! Why not? Finally something sweet to end a long night is a tradit-ion. Designers all have a ritual they follow to distress from a long season. Some go on vacations right after, some get sleep, massages and spa therapy. Some just thro-w a big party. Why not create a traditional for post Fashion Week? As they say, “Wh-en in Rome, do as the Romans do” so you toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain and they say you’ll come back one day. Maybe it will be the coin you toss that raises your cha-nces of coming back next season. I find mine not too glamorous, but we do like to d-o post-show talk while sitting on the Lincoln Center fountain, our own Trevi. Aside fr-om wandering when the night is still young, Chinese takeout has been our fortune co-okie! Fashion Week for me, is an escape from reality and into a world that changes every season. It’s when the entire fashion industry comes together and celebrates th-e new. So start tossing the coin into your Trevi and may your fashion week dreams come true because when in New York, do as the fashion people do.

DO’S cont.


!!DON’T and never overreact to being there. Calmness and keeping cool are the winning acts for a better s-eating chance. With this we have jumped from 7th row into 1st or 2nd row twice and sat next to an undisclos-ed Elle editor. This is not a guaranteed system but a

tactic that is guerilla style to finding better seats. Not everyone will know this and will stay in their far off seats. It makes all the difference when you feel the footsteps of the model coming down the runway—the best thrill of them all. (Warning: this system is not guaranteed to work and may get you kicked out of your seat if done incorrect-tly. It is all about right timing.) DON’T just stand or sit. Socialize and make connections. You never know what peop-le you might just run into and meet. DON’T wear the unicorn-stuffed animal hat and fairy dust makeup if you are going to be avant garde and can’t stand being boring ol’ chic black. Too much is never chic. This is New York Fashion Week. You will have heads turning for sure--and just might land on the crazy style section of portraits on HONY (Humans of New York).
