Mirrored Shades Are the New Wayfarers

imageReflective shades are making a comeback among the fashion pack. According to Bryanboy, the likes of professional poser Agyness Deyn and Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough (now best known to middle America as the designer whose nose Kiefer Sutherland broke) have been seen sporting 80s-style reflective sunglasses. Meanwhile, trend sensitive Urban Outfitters already has house-designed super-cheap mirrored shades in stock.

Agyness Deyn & Sis Share Obsession for Queen Liz

imageSupermodel Agyness Deyn, who made an appearance on the runway at Anna Sui in New York and Henry Holland in London this Fashion Week, isn’t the only Deyn with an appetite for fashion. It turns out her 17-year-old sister, Emily, has a similar penchant for clothing -- so much so that she’s launching a fashion line with long-time friend Aliyah Hussein. The collection in question will solely include T-shirts for starters. Aggy was spotted sporting the fruits of her sis’ hard work backstage at Sui’s FW09 show. The tee in question pays “homage to none other than Queen Elizabeth II, whom Emily called ‘the original gangster!’” says Nylon.

Agyness Deyn & Midriff Stage Comeback for Henry Holland

imageOptimism is all the rage on Fall 09 runways, and at House of Holland in London yesterday, the theme was no different. Wunderkind Henry Holland lit up his catwalk with a Pantone-inspired collection that included color block separates, covetable striped tights, and face time from Agyness Deyn. The model and close friend of Holland’s both opened and closed the show (her only Fashion Week appearance save for Anna Sui back in New York).

Still the Hottest Chic Coif: The “Joan of Arc”

imageThe short, cropped coif coined "the bob" was invented exactly 100 years ago. According to the Telegraph, “the sexy, eye-catching cut was invented in 1909 by Parisian hairdresser Antoine de Paris, whose inspiration was Joan of Arc.” Now, a century after the hairstyle became the norm among flappers and domestics alike, it’s as popular as ever. Want proof? Anna Wintour, long considered one of the most powerful names in fashion, has been sporting hers since the dawn of time. (Karl Lagerfeld even paid homage to Wintour's signature hairstyle with his FW08 Chanel couture show, which featured a parade of models sporting cloned bob coifs). Jessica Alba just chopped her locks into a lengthier version. Meanwhile Katie Holmes (and offspring Suri) followed BFF Victoria Beckham’s lead in adopting the style months ago.

Fashion’s Finest Full Frontals, Courtesy Henry Holland

Fashion’s Finest Full Frontals, Courtesy Henry Holland Henry Holland -- the London-based fashion designer who fears neither neon nor tongue-in-cheek humor -- is embarking on new territory. Nude territory, that is. It seems that while the muse (a.k.a. fashion industry alum) is the same, the designer has traded his sexually charged slogan tees (i.e. “Do Me Daily Christopher Bailey”, circa 2006) for a series of fleshy graphic tees.

Fashion Week Party Report: Auction Fever, No Snatch for Kelly

Fashion Week Party Report: Auction Fever, No Snatch for Kelly My first New York Fashion Week kicked off last night atChristie's in midtown. An old university chum of mine passed along an invite to the auction house's evening to "celebrate fashion week and a private preview of Christie’s fall sales of post war & contemporary art, impressionist & modern art and Resurrection: Avant-Garde Fashion." What I loved best about this party was that if I wanted to avoid an awkward encounter (with Emma Snowdon-Jones), or ran out of things to say, or if I simply had no one to talk to, there was a whole rack of art and fashion I could pretend to be interested in while planning my next move.

Albert Hammond Jr.’s Stroke of Genius

Albert Hammond Jr.’s Stroke of Genius Five minutes until I interview Albert Hammond Jr. Turn on his new album. Como Te Llama? is great. Variety, clever lyrics. Squeeze an unlit cigarette between my fingers. I wonder if he smokes? Marlboros probably. No, focus on the new album. Ask about the name. I already know the answer -- an artistic roundabout approach to combating questions about the Strokes, I'm sure. Still, ask anyway. Two minutes until interview. I'm so hungry. I wonder what he's had for lunch, and if he and fiancée Agyness Deyn ate lunch together. Shit, one minute until interview. His dad, Albert Hammond, was just inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Albert Junior, do you have similar aspirations? How mundane. I bet he’s been asked that question a thousand times. What hasn’t he been asked? Are the Strokes breaking up? Do not ask that question. What’s your favorite color? Boxers or briefs? Fantastic idea, let’s scare him a bit and ask nothing relevant to him as a musician. Albert, if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Let’s discuss. What a great way to lose my job. The phone is ringing, deep breath, act professional ...

Agyness Deyn Engaged

imageRumor has it: model Agyness Deyn and her Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. are engaged. The couple have only been together for two months (like a year in celebrity time). If true, get ready for the holy grail of New York hipster weddings. Given that this couple has proven inescapable for anyone strolling on the Bowery, I imagine the omnipresent pair's nuptials might take place at the Bowery Hotel -- everyone in skinny jeans and ironic T-shirts, and the bride distinguishable only her equally ironic veil. A pal says of the couple, "They're really sweet. They basically haven't been apart for more than three seconds in the past two months." So legit! Agyness and Albert are the Axl Rose and Stephanie Seymour of the late-oughts.

Agyness Deyn No Hero to Bandmates

imageYou can't seem to get away from model Agyness Deyn these days. I know if you've been on New York's Bowery recently, you've seen her making out with new boyfriend Albert Hammond Jr. Every Brooklyn hipster sports the Agyness haircut. Even her "bandmates" are frustrated by all the attention she's getting. New York band the Five O'Clock Heroes, who asked Deyn sing on their single "Who," are irritated about fielding questions on Agyness rather than their music. Despite the attention generated by having a fast-rising model do guest vocals, lead singer Antony Ellis thinks the plan may have backfired: "Something I do find quite annoying is when there's a photo with Agy and the band, quite often they'll just focus on her and chop our heads off -- even though she's only recorded one song with us." A little advice -- if you want to be front and center in group photos, best not to bring aboard someone who gets their photo taken for a living.
