Erin Wasson

We love a good Erin Wasson moment. Whether it's musing on a possible housewares collection or baring all to push her delectable jewelry, we're %100 on board the Wasson train. That's why we've been waiting with baited breath for her latest project, which comes in the form of the SS12 Low Luv lookbook.

September 8, 2011 marks the third year of Fashion's Night Out, and it's shaping up to be the best year yet. While Vogue's star-judged Polyvore contest, Alexander Wang's talent show, and Nicola Formichetti's pop-up shop are enough to get us hyped for the night already, Modelina notes that a bunch of top models are throwing events, too. Read on for the details.

"There's an interior designer inside me dying to get out!" were the exact words uttered by Erin Wasson when we chatted last year. It looks like the supermodel/stylists/designer, even while balancing multiple projects, hasn't let the idea go. Her recent hint at her new design direction comes by way of an interview conducted on Australia's Bondi Beach.

Jack-of-all-fashion-trades Erin Wasson wants to share the latest collection in her jewelry line, Low Luv, inspired by a whole host of symbolic imagery, including Native American eagles and the eye of Providence, most commonly seen on the back of a dollar bill. In a somewhat hazy explanation for the cross-cultural references, Wasson states, “I want pieces that look intense and have meaning.”

There's not much Erin Wasson hasn't done. She's styled two seasons for designer and friend Alexander Wang, launched her own jewelry line, called LowLuv, and designed collections for RVCA. Oh, and she's a supermodel with renowned personal style, which looks like the visual equivalent of what a fusion of psychedelic, folk, and tribal beats must sound like. "Music is one of my greatest inspirations," says Wasson. I love afro-funk and old school soul. I love this '70s psychedelic band from Nigeria called BLO. I also like some good old country, like Candi Staton and Wanda Jackson. My music taste is all over the place – just like my style!"

Designing a line of swimsuits named Nycked along with Lorenzo Martone (Marc Jacobs' better half) isn't the only collaboration keeping Jules Kim busy these days. The jewelry designer is embarking on a diffusion line for her NYC-based collection Bijules with Urban Outfitters called BJ by Jules Kim. "Comprised of sterling silver, plastic and gold-plated sterling silver rings, priced from $18 to $162, the looks are near-spitting images of ones found in the brand's signature collection — only these sell for around half the price (or in the case of the $18 plastic rings, a mere fraction of the price)," says All The Rage. As with Kim's namesake line, expect affordable bold styles like the Rihanna-approved nail ring and thin 'bar' rings in both silver and plastic, which are already in stores.

There's more that goes into the 'no makeup' look than not wearing any. If you just didn't wear makeup, this would be a lot easier. For one, I wouldn't have to write this post. And you would save money. Or maybe spend more on skin treatments. But I'm just going to go with my gut and assume that if you're reading this, you probably wear a little makeup. Or at least like Alexander Wang. And therefore you probably know how casual and cool his all-American girls looked with those bold brows and dewy faces for spring. Here's how they got it, who does it, and where to get it.

In recent seasons there's been talk of a small fashion week stimulus package in the form of selling off show seats. Surely not a bad idea given the industry's recent economic struggles, the proposal has been controversial nonetheless. But come New York Fashion Week 2010, which kicks of February 11, two very well-known designers are taking matters into their own hands and hawking tickets to their shows... granted, all proceeds will go to charity. Marchesa just announced that they'll auction off tickets to their fashion week presentation: bids for which are currently clocked in at $1,850. Although, it's not just a VIP pass to the presentation the winner will win. "Not only will the winner receive a collection dress—which she’ll get to choose herself at the design duo’s Manhattan studio—she’ll also get two VIP passes to the label’s February 17 presentation at Chelsea Art Gallery," says Fashionista.

Weren't lucky enough to land a Marc Jacobs tee emblazoned with a nude Chloë Sevigny the first time around? Don't fret. The designer and arguable mayor of Bleecker Street is reissuing his much loved "Protect the Skin You’re In" line of t-shirts. Thanks to the relaunch, in addition to Sevigny you can now also outfit yourself with fleshy images of Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Dita Von Teese, Doutzen Kroes, or Erin Wasson overlaid with the aforementioned phrase.

To answer Fashion Week Daily's question -- "is it just nous, or is Erin Wasson partout these days?" -- that would be yes. The supermodel-turned-stylist-turned-fashion and jewelry designer is in fact pretty much everywhere you look. She threw a monster of a fashion show at New York Fashion Week this season, complete with a live performance from Gang Gang Dance and an appearance from Bruce Willis. (Unfortunately, the fashions themselves weren't as apt to grab headlines.) And it looks like she's showing no signs of stopping or slowing down, according to FWD's recent interview.
