natasha poly

she's definitely one of the top models of the moment, currently placed at #2 on models.com top 50 female models ranking, above lily donaldson and even agyness deyn. you might recognize her from the past few seasons gucci campaigns, this season's calvin klein, jil sander, blumarine, etc etc. i just think her face, especially her cheekbones, are crazy!

project runway final 3

even though the current taped season is in limbo somewhere, the final three designers did indeed show last week. from top to bottom, contestants 1, 2, 3. you can also check out their complete runway shows at new york magazine's fashion page: 

• contestant #1
• contestant #2
• contestant #3

my money's on #3.

Right off the runway

sometimes show looks are a bit overstyled but these three looks (proenza schouler, jill stuart and alexander wang from top to bottom ) i'd rock just as they are. in my dreams :) 

hisham oumlil fashion show

first and only fashion show of this season for this girl :( the madness has been strangely subdued this season, undoubtedly because of the current economic climate. nonetheless, mary, israel and myself managed to have a blast (free cocktails are always a good thing)...and i even managed to score an invite to a front row seat! the only downside to a men's fashion show? a goody bag full of mens beauty products! (a big thank you to mary for takin all the pics!)

Prehistoric Robot Couture

rodarte's fall 2009 collection...i can't even attempt to form sentences so i'm just going to list my notes that i wrote as i drooled watching the slideshow online...

• fresh palette
• can see the transition from previous collections but toughened up
• want to touch and examine up close
• robots... stone... deconstructed..
• the gloves!
• the boots!
• the gunmetal nail polish!
• great belts
• snakeskin accents

these few pics don't even begin to do this collection justice. go to nymag.com and see all the looks here. just stunning.

cold shoulder

major fall 2009 trend: major shoulders. i'm sure the really severe poufs will be watered down a bit for the masses, and with a slim pant it can be quite chic. we all will just have to proceed with caution!
