Bee Shaffer, The LA Corrections System, A Sparkly Chicken

6:00AM Foster Kamer | I honestly don’t know how else to caption this photo we received of Bee Shaffer—Anna Wintour’s daughter, left—and two friends, one of whom is dressed as a sparkly chicken. This looks like the most fun night ever.

Confessions Of A Fashion Week Party Monster

2:02AM Chris Wilson | Fashion Week just OD’d. But I’m comforted by the fact that its sexy corpse will rise again to do another skeleton dance on the catwalk, seduce the style-obsessed among us, and throw up at an after-party at Indochine. More »

Rock Rules, Fashion Drools On Perry Farrell’s Party Bus

6:00AM Chris Wilson | Once upon a time the John Varvatos store reeked of rat poison, sweaty skinheads and Iggy Pop’s low-hanging balls. But last night, the scent was decidedly sweeter for me, because I totally partied on a tour bus with Perry Farrell. More »

Warning: The Following Video Contains Footage Of The Very Deep And Intellectual Miranda Kerr Looking a Bit Daft

10:30AM Jess McGuire | I was re-living my love of Dave Hill yesterday on YouTube and catching up on all the clips of his that had been made and uploaded onto the site since I first became obsessed with him (check out his “report” from Comic Con to understand why) when I found a video filmed during 2006 New York Fashion Week. Dave, being a mischievous kind of fellow, is schmoozing with assorted attendees and models and asking ridiculous questions. His favourite trick is to ask an interviewee what they think of an up and coming designer who isn’t actually a designer but they’d know the name for other reasons. For instance, this year Dave asked unsuspecting victims what they thought of Trig Palin’s new line of clothing, and rather then look ignorant, they just bluff and rattle on about how much they love his new stuff, etc. Back in 2006, Dave asked people what they thought of Kofi Annan and (remember the dude who confessed to but was not actually responsible for Jon Benet’s murder?) John Mark Carr’s collection… one of those people being (and do correct me if I’m wrong, but it certainly looks and sounds like her) Miranda Kerr. Check out what she has to say about Kofi Annan’s fashion line after the jump! More »

Christian Siriano’s Fashion Sense Decidedly Not A Hot Tranny Mess

5:30AM Defamer Hollywood | While we concede that Project Runway is a good-to-great show (even if you include this current supes boring season), isn’t it a bit troubling that it’s utterly failed in its mission to produce a great designer? You never see anyone sporting a Jay McCarroll outfit or a Chloe Dao handbag, do you? Perhaps the show is better at creating personalities than people who can actually cut the mustard in the fashion industry. At least that seemed to be the case until everyone’s favourite gay mullet-headed pixie unleashed his Spring 2009 collection on an unsuspecting New York City. That’s right, Christian Siriano just had a runway show and people cannot stop raving. More »
