She’s Got the Look

So is anyone else fascinated by the older girls’ version of “America’s Next Top Model,” otherwise known as “She’s Got the Look?” It’s the perfect eye candy to have on while I blog. So currently, it’s my DVR go – to while I write this entry.

Being that I’m another year older, I so appreciate this show’s focus on beauty through the years. Like Robert Verdi says, it “dispels the myth that beauty ends in the 20s.”

I love Robert Verdi! He’s such a fab fashionista. I’ve met him at Fashion Week as well as at a ABC Carpet event and he’s always a riot.

NYC Fashion Week

Filed under: Fashion,Fashion Week — Tags: NYC fashion week — fabgab @ 7:26 PM

I’m so psyched. My boss told me I could go to NY fashion week and NOT have to take a day off. This is major. I’ve attended the shows for the past 10 years and have always had to take vacation time off (which I did happily as I simply felt fortunate to go at all). But now my favorite time of year will not conflict with my work schedule! I can count it as work. I’m in my dream job

Mimkho recreates Von Trapp fashions

I viewed a bunch of emerging designers this past fashion week, one that still stands out in my mind is Mimkho, a NY-based designer who reportedly looked to her Russian roots for inspiration. I had to wonder if she didn’t just steal from The Sound of Music instead. Wearing old world fabrics reminiscent of what you might find hanging over granny’s windows, Mimkho’s models marched militantly down the runway.

Given that the”1917 revolution, WWII, and the Communist Era” were themes that she explored, the model’s stomps and serious expressions were right in line.

The grey hoodie dress hid the hair but it sure wasn’t hiding her badunkadunk. Though she stood at the opposite end of the room, I instantly recognized that famous bubble butt and knew the Kardashian knockout had arrived (late 35min. to her own show at that but she had ARRIVED!

“I’m wearing an outfit from our line. I think we just wanted stuff that was sexy and edgy and represented me Kourt and Khloé.” – Kim

Other celebrity sightings included fellow reality stars from “Housewives of NY”, “The Jersey Shore”, Jay Manuel and the petite ninja warriors from America’s Next Top Model.

“I think the show went really well. Everyone was so anticipating this line and you know it’s been a long morning of excitement. It’s always a big rush backstage and I’m just so glad that I was able to sit in the front row and enjoy the show and just see how the pieces fit on the models and you know, when they’re walking, the flow of it and you know it was such a great feeling to sit in the front row and know that these are my pieces that I’ve designed and um it’s really really a great feeling.” – Kim after the show

Here’s a video of Kim getting interviewed (it seems she’s not the best at using proper sentences). If you see the Asian girl wearing pink in front row, that’s me.

Fabcam – Olivia Palermo at NY fashion week

Filed under: CELEBRITIES,Fashion Week — Tags: NYC fashion week, Olivia Palermo, Ports 1961 — fabgab @ 10:27 PM

The models aren’t the only stick-skinny girls at NY fashion week. Check out the fashionistas attending and you’d think everyone dieted all month for the event. Case in point: Olivia Palermo. The gorgeous doll of a girl was shockingly tiny as evidenced by her toothpick legs. I couldn’t help but feel like a big bear in my fur coat standing next to this tiny little thing.

Here’s our pic together before the Ports 1961 runway show inside the Bryant Park tents where Olivia’s arch nemesis, Whitney Port was getting ready to watch the same show.
