Gonna Miss Seeing These...

This collection was the perfect mix of bohemian rock.

Too Soon?

Don't care. Another Coco post!
Well it appears our fave young supermodel has died her hair red. Ooo!
Here she is in the January Vogue 2009 issue:


And at the unveiling of the new Rootstein mannequin:

and with her mom, Micki, her agent and her immortalized self:

"I have a big group of friends from childhood who are all redheads, and my mother mother is a redhead, and one of my friends' moms is a redhead. So they've all said that they were, as a group, a kind of family, and I was the adopted brown-haired girl. Now I get to go home and be a part of the family."

Thoughts on her new look?

All Eyes On Me In the Centre of the Ring

Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery - Rag & Bone Fall08

...damn. Just like a circus.

The thrill of the front row at fashion shows must be amazing! A swarm of fashion darlings and celebrities exchanging air kisses and striking a pose towards the sea of photographers. At least, that's how it seems. Where are the few selected guests, family, friends and fashion insiders? Oh hunny! They're pushed back a couple rows to make room for the pre-show: The front-row arrivals.
Who cares if half the time they have no idea who they're sitting next to and are forced to applaud awkwardly, they're in the front row baby! It's where you are to be seen.

We all saw how extremely important itthe arrangement was on gossip girl!

Serena: And then Poppy won't go and her friends won't go and you can explain to your mother why she has an empty first row. Would that make you happy?
Blair: At least I won't have to watch the next episode of the Serena show!
Serena: You know, I was come here to invite you to hang out with us.
(Blair uses an angry and sarcastic voice)
Blair: Oh, how generous, Serena. I should feel so blessed that you would include me in your little group.
(Serena confronts Blair)
Serena: You know what, Blair? I am gonna go to that show and I'm gonna sit front row and I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it.

I'm sure would S, a la my fave Ugly Betty star Becki Newton:

Rag & Bone Fall 08 - B. Newton & Z. Mclellan.

"Wish you were here. NOT! HAHAhahahHAAH"

Miss Sixty SS09 - Beckie Newton and Blake Lively
"Like, you know this is totally cool, right? We're like in the FRONT ROW! I mean tres cool, right??"

Okay Beckie we get it!

It's where you can see first hand the latest fashions by incredibly creative people! Just think what sitting front row are Dior or Chanel must feel like!
And then, sometimes the sheer excitement probably gets you...

Sean John Fall 08 - C. Ivery, E. Pompeo, H. Christenson, P.Banks, H. Weinstein
Okay, I've seen the collection and I doubt anything that good has passed by.
Just be real in the front row people!

Project Runway SS09 - H. Weinstein and R. Zoe
Now that's better Harvey.

But, mind you don't get too relaxed...

Erin Featherston Fall08 - A. Hathaway

Lauren Conrad Collection Fall 08 - W. Port, A. Patridge, L. Bosworth
Aw look! LC put her three beasties in the front row! Now that's a good connection. Who else can't wait for The City to premiere? Nevermind how fake it's destined to be, and our girl WhitNAY will therefore have as much credibility as Spiedi....okay maybe not that low....at least as much as Lauren. Whatever it'll be great!

Dior Cruise 08 - J. Roitfeld, G.Jones, V. Hermes, L. Davis, T. Mortimer, Z. Gugelman
Though (quite obviously in this pic) it's not always up to the designer who sits in the front row. I know Genevieve and Julia are friends but absolutely everyone in this picture looks very uncomfortable.

But that must all be forgotten about once the show starts and they're all transfixed on the clothes:
BCBG Max Azria - L. Lezark, A. Ortiz, M. Rajskub, Amerie

*pst! peep another Ugly Betty star!*
Hilda: Oi! Justan was riiiiight, these fa-shon shows are cray zee!

Baby Phat Fall08 - J. Stone, R. Simmons
Russel pay attention! Haven't you had enough 'friends' after your divorce?

Baby Phat Fall08 - T. Banks, and Mr. Jay
TyTy: Damn Jay! You see that? Now we have to have that next season of Top Model!
Jay: Mmm hmm girl (thinking HELL NO)

And since there's so many camera's you definitely have to be able to pose!

Micheal Kors SS09 - Brad Goreski and Joy Bryant
Looking adorable as usual Brad, and effortlessly chic Joy. Can't wait for Rachel Zoe Project season two! I die I die!

Rag & Bone SS09 - Charlize Theron
Charlize is definitely too cool for school and has the pose down pat.

DKNY SS09 - W. Ryder, C. Ricci & N. Richie
They look like a tan-o-metre. Or maybe cleavage-o-metre. Plus I love how confused Christina looks. "Wait...are y'all chanting Ricci...or Richie? "

Narcisco Rodrigues SS09 - J. Alba and C. Danes
Claire: Hey
Jessica: HahaHA..what? Oh, Claire right?
Claire: Yeah, I was just gonna ask...I dunno....I don't really go to a lot of these things, I mean all the camera's and stuff, it's a little weird right?
Jessica: You're kidding right?

Jessica: Girl just relax!
Claire: Yeah! Screw it! Time to work it!

Of course, not everyone can work it like these two:

Marc Jacob SS09 - V. Beckham and J. Lopez

Oh lawd.
But I can't even hate.
It's the good life!

& This Is Why We Love Them

It's worth watching all the way through:



You can tell they always have MAD fun together!

"She Can Not Do It At All. WE'RE MODELS!"

Eniko Mihalik & friends having fun!

"Designer's you have $50, and one hour at Fabricland?"

Project Runway Canada Season 2 is starting soon! Yayaya..breakitdown! *happy dance*!

Tuesday January 17th we'll welcome 14 new designers on this oh-so magical journey! They'll be creating, working, and frantically running around in...Ottawa. I know this is shocking for some (including my friend who asked if Iman would be saying the above quote as they inevitably opened the show in front of Parliament) but they actually shot the show last summer in our nation's capital.
Did you think Iman would come in the winter?? C'mon now!
Personally I figured Toronto would be the permanent location, or if anything, once conquered, they'd move on to Montreal. But you know what, Ottawa is up-and-coming and must of pushed really hard for it, so they deserve it.

"For today's challenge, designer's will create jersey's for the esteemed Ottawa Senators"

It's What We're All About, It's What We Live For, C'mon and Shout it Out

Grunge.
Leather.
Feathers.
Fringe.
Fur.
Studs.
Grey.
Black.
Everything I am into this fall exemplified by Kate Lanphear, style director of Elle Mgazine US.

This is how Kate does:

Spring"I know it's so terribly boring. But I take my appreciation for tees to whole new heights and spend a small fortune on James Perse and Neal Sperling. Then, I just throw on an old Dior Homme blazer and the highest heels I can find."

Summer

"I have zero control. I couldn't pay my rent this summer because I had to have the Balenciaga gladiators in every color available."

Fall

"You know, I am obsessed with a sexy Goth look, but gosh it'd be torture with global warming, non? Not sure we'll be seeing too much of it on the runways. "

Winter

Think Alexander Wang Fall 08:

"Anything and everything gray cashmere. My fave is an old Alexander Wang super-low V-neck."

Get the look (pardon the blurriness):1. dress: foley & corinna ombre fringe dress $495 2. jeans: current/elliott the boyfriend cropped jean $229 3. so low latex leggings $62 4.

Chanel Iman Tackles High Fashion

Chanel Iman Pop Magazine
Loving this editorial, but not sure how I feel about Chanel Iman nude....hmm. I definitely see her as a high fashion model strictly, I don't know she'll be able to walk the Vicky's Secret runways anytime soon.
