Bill Cunningham New York - Documentary

I watch the most intriguing, uplifting movie last night.

It was a fashion documentary called Bill Cunningham New York.  I have somehow never heard his name before, nor seen his work in the New York Times.

Bill has an amazing story, and I can't even talk about it, you just need to see it.

Check out the trailer here-

Fashion Week - Paris - 2011

Found out I had the opportunity to go to Fashion Week in Paris to the Thierry Mugler show.

I was thrilled.

16 hours before the flight I realized my passport was on my desk at my apartment in LA.  I was in Chicago. 

Courier service was over $1k.  I then booked a flight to LA first thing in the AM. To go home. Get my passport. Turn around and fly to Paris for the show on Wednesday night.

At 6am I find out that the flights from LA to Paris are over $3k.  So that's out of the question.

I give up.

I get a bbm from my friend who got all my credentials for backstage, and even got me a seat for the fashion show. I was so upset.  He wouldn't let up. He found me a courier service that literally picked up my passport from my apartment. Got it on a flight. And it arrives at O'Hare at 3:40pm today.  Insane.

I won't believe it until I am sitting on Air France at 5:30pm today.

Check out live tweeting at twitter.com/fashism for all my pictures from backstage, etc.!

Lace Up

Lace has always been one of my favorite trends, that I never viewed as going in and out of style.
Simple yet detailed.  Feminine and chic. 
But, I guess it is this Springs trend.  Here are some of my favorite lace looks this year.

BCBG Max Azria
Brioni
Christopher Kane
John Galliano
Oscar de la Renta
Valentino

Badgley Mischka Fall RTW 2011

Alice + Olivia RTW Fall 2011

I have always been a fan of Alice + Olivia, due to their ultra feminine pieces and flirty colors.

And this year during Fashion Week, they haven't failed me. 

Here are some of my favorites from the RTW Fall Collection.
