Thoughts on the winners?

I personally find Rodarte’s horror movie (and in this case, Frankenstein) influenced collection to be quite genius and groundbreaking. Name any other designer are able to do what they did? I love it…although it is a bit ahead of its time. I doubt the American public is ready for it yet.

Thoughts on Heidi Klum’s Kate Moss wannabe get up?

Best dressed attendees?

Yay!

The models look thrilled. Haha!

I don't understand why you'd wear Dolce & Gabbana. I mean, this is a celebration of American-born designers.

Maybe ask Rachel Zoe, Molly's stylist, on twitter...I don't like the dress at this event either

Kasia said...

I know that Marc Jacobs is supposedly friends with Rachel Zoe, but I just don't get it!
How is she able to make millions of dollars, attend Paris shows, and become a celebrity when she doesn't appear to even have any style? I'm sorry to sound mean, but sometimes I just have to be honest, she's just like every other woman from L.A.

Wow, big sunglasses and a birkin bag.. Groundbreaking.

Ever since Rachel Zoe stopped being Lindsay Lohan's stylist, her style improved so much.

Lauren said...

Yay! Mary-kate! She has been out of the spotlight for a while. She is a great fashion icon. I'm happy to see her appear more.

Agyness looks really pretty although I'm not sure I like her hair like that..

r1ma said...

sorry lauren, but I am afraid that is Ashley

I confuse them all the time lol

Kasia said...

Ashley is more stylish than Mary-Kate in my opinion.

I like Mary Kate's style more; I feel she takes more risks. Ashley's style is more classic.

Thats Ashley.

Kasia said...

I like both. It's just Mary-Kate seams so much more famous for her style, and she gets so many more covers than Ashley when Ashley has made some solid choices. Her rendition of Le Smoking, in Calvin Klein was beautiful, and she looked so gorgeous at the Met.

I liked how Mary-Kate worked that Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Stephen Jones piece. She can make some interesting choices, but Ashley needs some more credit!
