Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2010

So today I had an interview with one of my favorite fashion magazines and the girl who interviewed me asked, "who are some of your favorite designers." And for me I really didn't have to think about the answer. Number 1: Marc Jacobs (even though I didn't say that to her because he's everyone's favorite designer; simply because of the fact MJ can do no wrong). Number 2: Alexander Wang. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I describe my style as "tomboy chic." You can most likely catch me in a v-neck, some skinny jeans, and some fly heels (or boots). I rarely wear dresses. And to me, Alexander Wang embodies that "tomboy chic." And number 3: Jason Wu. He became huge after designing Michelle Obama's inauguration dress and the boy is on fire. Recently he showed his pre-fall 2010 collection and I love it! It does have a lot of dresses but they are simple, classy, and easily accessible to wear almost anywhere.

Real (Gay) Househusbands of New York City?

Marc Jacobs with husband Lorenzo Martone

Something great thing in my life happened today, I read in one of my favorite blogs that there might be a gay version of Real Housewives. And guess who is rumored to already be signed on to the show? Marc Jacobs. Let's see, one of the best designers: check. Being one of the only men who can pull off wearing a skirt, check. Being in a reality show that already has a huge popularity and might even be better with gay men and might possibly have more bitchiness and cattiness then all of the housewives combined: check, check and check. The show is said to be a gay version of Real Housewives, which is reportedly said to be named Kept, created by the team who brought us Real Housewives. It will be featured on the gay network Logo sometime in 2010. They are doing open casting calls in New York City for "high-powered (openly gay) playboys" in a few weeks, with March Jacobs (hopefully) already on board. Guess I have to upgrade to Direct TV now.

Fashion Week Spring 2010

Oh fashion week, you do me right every single season. Especially this season in particular. There were colors, prints, basics, lingerie, everything a girl needs to fill her closet with. But now that fashion week has wrapped up and all the fabulous-ness that is Bryant Park has packed up and moved on to London, it's now time to report and check out the great looks from the runway.

With Spring coming along (obviously) SHORTS were huge on the runway. From short shorts to longer, (but mostly short) many designers incorporated them into their lines.

Another trend that hit hard on the runway which I love (and already have a lot of) is BLUE. All different shades were used on all different garments.

I hope you have somewhere to go this Spring, because PARTY DRESSES were also a defining trend on the runway. Designers used lots of colors and prints to make the dresses stand out.

Don't throw away your fall, STRONG SHOULDER blazers out quite yet, they're back! I know a lot of people think Madonna, circa 1980-whatever, but I love them, especially since I was only a baby then :)

Anyone who knows me, knows I love Lady Gaga. This woman went ALL OUT during the VMA's (hilarious) and I thought she was absolutely fabulous. And to prove her fabulousness, designers have started picking up her personal style of NO PANTS.

Not only were people not wearing pants, but there was also a lot of nipple action on the runway. SHEER, with no bra, is back!

When I think of DRAPING and luxurious gowns, my mind always goes back to Rami from Project Runway Season 4. The judges use to ask him, is this all you can do? Well, the trend is hitting the runways and designers are showing what they can do.

All in all, Fashion Week Spring 2010 NYC was a success. My favorite designer from the runways was definitely Charlotte Ronson. I absolotey loved her line and would defintiely wear A LOT of garments she made. Do you have any favorite designers from this years fashion week? I'd love to know :)
