PHOTOS: For Dennis Basso, Spring Fashion Means Fur
On Tuesday, designer Dennis Basso unveiled his Spring/Summer 2011 collection at New York Fashion Week. Basso is known for working with and focusing on fur — which is why there were eight police officers outside the tents and every guest had their bag checked for paint — but somehow we were still surprised by the amount of animal skin-as-material we saw in a collection intended to be worn in warm weather.
America’s Next Top Model Beefs Up Its Judges Panel
This season — er, cycle — of America’s Next Top Model is ramping up to be a doozy. First came the news that Seventeen mag had been dropped in favor of the edgier and much more sartorially credible Vogue Italia, then came the requisite body image controversy. And it looks like Andre Leon Talley‘s industry clout is finally working it’s magic. The list of guest judges scheduled for the next season reads like a page right out of Vogue‘s fashion credits.
The Robe: Andre Leon Talley’s Favorite Garment
Call it what you will: a cape, a robe, a muumuu, a daishiki. But no matter how you refer to the fabulous silken garments favored by Vogue contributing editor Andre Leon Talley, one thing is for sure — he looks damn good in them.
Tyra Banks Is Doing Vogue Italia A Favor By Partnering
When we first heard that the winner of next season’s America’s Next Top Model would be gracing the cover of Vogue Italia, we thought the partnership had Andre Leon Talley’s name all over it. But according to Tyra Banks, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
ANTM’s Next Winner Will Grace The Cover Of Vogue Italia
America’s Next Top Model may be entertaining at times, but until Andre Leon Talley graced the judges table, it wasn’t exactly considered a high fashion show. The models never really took off and the grand prizes seemed, well, not that grand. (Seventeen Magazine, we love you, but you’re hardly the pinnacle of couture.) It appears, however, that ANTM is stepping it up a notch for the show’s next cycle. The CW has announced that the winning prize will now be the cover of Vogue Italia.
Andre Leon Talley: One Never Complains About A Vogue Cover
Andre Leon Talley joined the ladies of The View as a guest host Wednesday and offered some valuable fashion-related insight into the news of the day. Talley managed to compare Shia LaBeouf to Linda Evanglista and, we think, Indiana Jones to Vogue magazine. We’re pretty sure he also managed to sneak Steven Spielberg into the analogy as well — as Anna Wintour, of course.
Did Andre Leon Talley Have An Affair With Diana Vreeland?
Andre Leon Talley spent the weekend at the Savannah College of Art & Design and while we’re sure he dispensed plenty of invaluable career advice, the best part of his visit might be the following anecdote of his time interning for Diana Vreeland that he shared during a Q&A. (Special thanks to the peeps at Racked who were there to catch every hilarious moment.)
Chanel: Crystal Renn Rocks The Runway, Motorbikes, And More!
The product of Karl’s genius resulted in a film short, a star-studded runway show, and a lightweight, floral, 70s style and St. Tropez-inspired collection. Hide your credit card bills from Rodger, Rachel Zoe, there are some caftans with your name on them.
André Leon Talley Dreams Of A One-Man Broadway Show
The September Issue made André a movie star, America’s Next Top Model made him a television star, and he’s already one of the fashion industry’s best known celebrities. He’s even written his own memoir! So what on earth is there left for André to do? Broadway, naturally.
PHOTOS: Who Were The Belles Of The Met Ball?
Monday night marked the single biggest event on fashion’s yearly calendar: The Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala. The theme this year was American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity and, appropriately, focused on American style through the ages. We’ve touched on some historical icons and wondered how exactly the Gap — this year’s sponsor — was going to pull off outfitting stars for the red carpet, but the photos are up and the guests have made it past the very velvet rope, so now the fun part begins.
Azzedine Alaïa Feels Rushed By The Fashion Calendar
Remember when Andre Leon Talley pronounced there was ““a famine of beauty! A famine of beauty, honey,” in The September Issue? Designer Azzedine Alaïa has the answer why: the intensity of the fashion calendar that causes designers to rapidly produce rather than thoughtfully create.
Martha Gives Her Show A Fashion Makeover
While her personal style may be a tad buttoned up for our tastes, Martha Stewart has decided to get a bit more fashionable and run a series of sartorial segments on her show. Starting today, The Martha Stewart Show will welcome guests such as Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler fame, Andre Leon Talley of Vogue and ANTM, and Robbie Myers, editor in chief of Elle Magazine.
