2010 CFDA Fashion Award Winners

The creme de la creme of high fashion society gathered together Monday night to honor each other at the 28th annual Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Fashion Awards. Although Coutura and I did not attend (we're sure that there was an oversight on this year's invitation list and hope to be there next year! lol) we thought it super important that you know who this year's winner's are. These people are some of the top movers and shakers in the fashion world and if we had the budget, we would be more than happy to wear their pieces on a daily basis. (In fact, we're sure that we'll soon be celebrities in our own right and they'll all be dying to dress us and, of course, we'll be more than happy to oblige.) How awesome is it that Iman won the Fashion Icon award?! That's her pictured above looking "glam"azing in a dress by Giambattista Valli and her rockstar husband David Bowie.

Michael Kors and actress Gwyneth Paltrow (in a dress designed by Kors, of course) and Fred Leighton jewelry.

Marc Jacobs proudly clutching his award.

Designer's Rag & Bone (ie David Neville and Marcus Wainwright) along with their wives makeup artist Gucci Westman and Glenna Neece. According to a tweet from The Cut blog, both Westman and Neece were spotted taking off their shoes and walking barefoot after the event. I know those heels are super high, but walking the streets of NY barefoot is not a good look for anyone! Ew. Keep it sexy ladies.

Vogue's Tonne Goodman looking quite Morticia Adams (from "The Adams Family") meets "Desperate Housewives" in Michael Kors.

Paper magazine's Kim Hastreiter. Her zany outfit makes me go "OMG" when I look at it, so her necklace is pretty appropriate. But, that's Hastreiter for ya!

Alexis Bittar (love that jewelry!) and Iris Apfel (in Balenciaga).

Jason Wu and actress Rachel Weisz wearing a dress created by the designer. Love! It looks so sophisticated.

That's Alexander Wang holding hands with Ying Wang. God, what I wouldn't do to get my hands on those shoes his models wore at his Fall 2010 show!

Sarah Jessica Parker paying homage to the late Alexander McQueen in this lovely dress designed by him. (Oh, and that cute little bag she's carrying is by VBH.)

Jessica Biel ditches the cutesy look she wore at the MTV Movie Awards earlier this week for a more mature dress by Diane Von Furstenberg.

Dakota Fanning looking all grown up in this cute, white mini by Marchesa and Brian Atwood pumps.

Stylista Rachel Zoe looked gorge in this sparkly blue and black number by Marc Jacobs.

Linda Wells. She's the EIC of Allure magazine. Side note: I'm KIND of obsessed with her..because Allure just happens to be one of my favorite magazines. I once told her at an event and asked if she'd have coffee with me and she said "Sure, e-mail me!" I did. No response. LOL It's ok, I know she's busy...and she's sure to know who I am soon enough! =D

Donna Karan and Gaby Karan de Felice (both in Donna Karan). That off the shoulder, gray number of Donna's is giving me LIFE! Looks like a perfect, drapey dress for summer.

Vogue's Anna Wintour and her daughter Bee Shaffer. Can someone give us tips on how we can become best friends with Bee so that we can get on Anna's good side?!

"The City's" Whitney Port looks gorge in this silver, ethereal gown by David Meister.

Francois Nars (creative director and founder of NARS cosmetics) and Isabella Rossellini. She's rocking the shade Tonkin from NARS' line of Pure Matte lipsticks that's set to launch Fall 2010.

Zac Posen and Devon Aoki (who's frock designed by Posen is giving me LIFE! Love.)

Vera Wang looking very much so on the emaciated side. But, how I DO love her clothes and accessories!

Would You Pay $1,000 To See A Fashion Show?

Apparently there are 600 other people that would..and we would too, if we had the money! (Hey, it's for charity.)

We're talking about the FFAWN fashion show happening June 15 at the Museum of Modern Art here in New York. It's the first ever clothing collection from the organization and is designed by Mary J. Blige and Catherine Malandrino. The money raised from ticket sales will be used to cover college tuition for 30 graduates from the Women's Academy of Excellence in the Bronx.

As you know from previous posts, Coutura and I are huge fans of FFAWN and I was more than happy to shell out $39 to purchase Blige and Malandrino's last fashion collabo: this super cute (and comfy!) t-shirt dress they launched in February at Bloomingdale's. (That's me rocking it below after a fun brunch date with Coutura and friends.)

Items in the FFAWN r-t-w collection will include items such as t-shirts ($200) and a studded leather jacket ($3,000). It seems that Malandrino has been doing the design work while Blige has been feeding her friend with inspirational thoughts. (Which we're sure that she has tons of!) No clue as to where items from the clothing line will be sold just yet.

ELLE is the official media sponsor for the event, so be sure to check out highlights from the show in the July 2010 music issue.

Natalie Portman New Face of Parfums Christian Dior

It's about time a beauty brand scooped actress Natalie Portman's pretty face to front their brands! In her first ever fragrance and cosmetics brand deal, Portman has signed with Parfums Christian Dior and will join the ranks of Charlize Theron and Sharon Stone (who have also lent their faces to the brand). Parfums Christian Dior didn't divulge which project they'll be using Portman for or when when we'll start to see her face in ads, but we're pretty sure that they'll be pretty glam once they do appear.

Designer Crush: Emperor's New Clothing (with Fab Fashion Blogger, Daver Campbell)!

Unless you've been living under a rock the last couple of months, you've spotted some of our fave celebs rocking t-shirts with witty slogans like "I make good babies," "This is not a photo opportunity," "Please don't feed the models," and "I only sleep with the best," scrawled across the front. And like me, I bet you've wondered "Where did they get that from?"

Well, the answer is here. Emperor's New Clothing (ENC), designed by Richard Wheeler. The new t-shirt brand lets bold fashionistas express everything they always wanted to say without opening their mouths. With rockstars, supermodels, trendsetters and Hollywood starlets rocking the fun and affordable tees, ENC is a must-have item for your summer wardrobe.

One more reason to love ENC? They recently tapped New York elite mover and shaker and Fashion Industry taste maker, Daver Campbell, to blog for their website and brand. And if that doesn't make you a fan, this will: ENC t-shirts cost a mere $30 a piece.

I don't know about you, but I must get my hands on the "Please Don't Feed the Models" t-shirt (because I'm always the one at photo shoots trying to get models to eat. Haha.)

Which shirt is your favorite?

Kisses,

Coutura

Model Lara Stone Is A Triple Threat

Could Lara Stone slowly be morphing into the new Kate Moss? Because she just signed a high dollar, triple, exclusive deal with Calvin Klein, Inc.

The 27-year-old Dutch native will be the new face of Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein and Calvin Klein Jeans for fall. (Above is an image of her from one of the new ads). This will mark the first time in eons that CK has chosen to use one model for all three of its brands. She began working with the fashion house in spring 2003.

"I have a long history with the Calvin Klein brand, and so it was wonderful to work with the house again this year," she told WWD. "It's like being part of a family."

Who knew that a gap in your teeth could be so lucrative?! I may not have the model figure, but I'm never closing up the tiny gap that I do have hahaha.

BeBe + "90210" = New Clothing Collection

Bebe is racking in the collabos! From the Kardashians, they've now shifted their attention to the CW's "90210." Side note: No offense, but who watches this show?! I did once...and never again. Probably because I grew up watching the original ("Beverly Hills 90201") and know that none can compare to the cast that included Brenda, Brandon, Kelly and Dylan. Sigh...

With that said, if Bebe were to do a clothing collabo with the "Beverly Hills 90210" cast, I'd be super excited, so I'm sure that there are some "90210" fans out there happy to read this news (hence I am sharing it with you lol).

According to today's issue of Women's Wear Daily, the clothing line will be a collobo between producers and wardrobe stylists from the show along with Bebe's creative design team. You should start to see items from the clothing line on the show with the launch of the series' third season this fall. There will be four collections annually that will include dresses, tops, bottoms and accessories.

"Partnering with '90210' makes perfect sense because there is a natural synergy between our Bebe brand and the adventurous energy and sexiness portrayed by the characters in the show," Manny Mashouf, founder and chief executive officer of Bebe, told WWD.

No word yet as to what the price points in the clothing will be or a set date as to when the line will actually hit stores. (We're sure that since it will probably be freezing again in New York by the time it does that we won't be able to wear any of it anyways lol) But, here's to hoping that the line will be budget friendly and that there will be a couple of cute sweaters for us East Coasters to choose from in there somewhere.

Red Carpet Showdown: Fashion Looks From the 2010 MTV Movie Awards (And Why It's Ok For Sandra Bullock To Kiss Women In Public)

Hey Glamazons! Ok, I'll have to be honest here when I say that I didn't actually watch the MTV Movie Awards last night...I tried, but the Law & Order SVU Co-Ed Marathon that was on USA was waaaaay more interesting to me. However, I did have fun checking out last night's red carpet images. Who do you think looked the best? And what did you think of that onstage kiss Sandra Bullock gave Scarlett Johansson while accepting the MTV Generation Award?! Scandalous, yes, but in light of all the crap Bullock has been through this year, I think she can do no wrong. (It also helped that she looked super hot in that black Oday Shakar dress and Louboutin pumps.)

Never one to shy away from color, Katy Perry wore a blue wig, a jewelled Zuhair Murad mini dress and neon yellow nails.

Here she is on stage with Snoop Dogg during her performance for new single "California Girls." I know I live in NYC, but I love this song...such a fun, infectious beat!

Later, she changed into this form fitting dress (and hot pink nails!) for the official MTV Movie Awards after party she hosted.

Christina Aguilera killed it on the red carpet in this black frock by Versace Atelier. Love the chain detailing on this number!

And I definitely think the ruby red lips and uber glam hair 'do work well for her, too.

Here she is being sexy onstage (ie performing) in a bejeweled leotard that came complete with a light up crotch..gross.

Audrina Patridge shimmers in a one-shouldered silver mini. The best part of her outfit? Why, the shoes of course!

Patridge's Giuseppe Zanotti heels are giving me LIFE! I'm officially in shoe lust over these....

Stephanie Pratt looked lean (and tan!) in this one-shouldered neon min and super straight blonde hair extensions.

Back to her roots (literally), 'The City's' Whitney Port opts to rock this beige and yellow fitted dress by Yigal. Is it just me, or does she look way skinnier than she has in previous photos? (Or maybe she was already this skinny and I never noticed?) Hmmmm....either way, I DO like the dress....

Cameron Diaz showed off her super hot gams in this cute Diane Von Furstenberg watercolour print dress.

The Hilton sisters (ie Paris and Nicky) rocked the cutest mini dresses! Paris wore a cream colored Blumarine dress (loved the feathered detailing) and Nicky wore a turquoise knit dress by Missoni (that I've decided I need to add to my summer wardrobe in order to live).

For once I can honestly say Lindsay Lohan looked pretty classy in this 1970's inspired ombre beaded Pamela Roland jumpsuit (which effectively covered her SCRAM bracelet). I also loved her beauty look.

As you know, I live for eyeliner and love how she paired her heavily lined eyes with a pale pink lip. Very 1970's chic!

Scarlett Johansson is just a gorgeous creature. I'm in love with her green Dolce and Gabbana emerald lace dress and that tousled, wavy hair looks amazing on her. So, we can't be too mad at Sandra Bullock for kissing her on the mouth, right?!

Usually awkward and weird, I'm glad to see actress Kristen Stewart actually strike a pose and look alive. Maybe she's finally starting to have fun with her fame, now? Or, it could be that she's feeling herself in this metallic and tweed minidress by Dolce & Gabbana.

Jessica Biel looks prep-school pretty in this Giambattista Valli dress that features a sheer, white polka dotted top, frilly black skirt and pink bow at the waist. Even prettier? Why her hair and makeup of course!

Biel's tresses look sleek yet slightly tousled and she keeps her makeup look by sticking to a fresh face and pretty pale pink lipgloss. I did think her dress was a bit busy, but her simple (yet fab!) hair and makeup enable her to pull of the look.

If someone called me right now and invited me to an all-white party for the summer, I would definitely wear this Jenny Packham dress Vanessa Hudgens rocked on the red carpet last night. Everything about it is right.

GLAM or SHAM?: Rihanna's Ragin' Red Hair

Rihanna ditched her two-toned blonde and black locks for a loud hue of red. The singer showed off her cropped red strands during a performance Saturday in Madrid. (Oh, and let's not forget her matching red nails and lips.)

What do you think of her newly colored hair, Glamazons? GLAM or SHAM?

Get Your Minx On: Sephora Now Sells Fun Patterns For Your Wearing Pleasure

Don't have tons of money to shell out to a manicurist for Minx nails? Then do it yourself..for less than $20!

Side note: I've been applying them on my own for about a year now! When I worked at The Magazine, they used to send us scads of the patterns and no one else was interested in them, so they all went to me! Tee hee hee.

Sephora has eight limited-edition patterns available in their Sephora by OPI line for $15 each. Each pack comes with 16 strips (for fingers or toes). Just choose the best fit for your nail (trim as needed), rub the strip between your hands to warm, peel off and apply. Yes, that easy! So glad that Sephora was smart enough to distribute Minx for the masses. Happy Minxing everyone!
