Liya Kebede for Rag and Bone Spring 2008

Ah, so this is what the cool kids will be wearing next year! Rag and Bone unveiled their Spring 2008 collection to a room that included Kate Bosworth (who looked dashing with slicked back hair and a white tuxedo jacket with black piping), Amanda Peet, and singer Mya. The designers sent both men’s and women’s looks down the runway and gave the girls sexy separates you could share with your boyfriend. The women’s looks leaned heavily on mannish silhouettes and nouveau safari style in a very consistent color scheme of khaki, black, white, and grey. The fedora is definitely here to stay for Spring, paired with belted trenches and scarves tied around the neck, giving you a very “spy who shagged me” aura.

I’m really digging the updated safari suit with slim trousers and button detailing at the ankle. These could replace the Balenciaga jodhpurs as this season’s “must have” pant.

BCBG Max Azria Runway Spring 2008

BCBG Max Azaria gave us none of the structured, tailored, and menswear-inspired looks that are currently sweeping women’s fashion. For Summer 2008, they’re bringing “pretty” back with lovely, layered party dresses. Models floated down the runway in organza and tulle in muted colors – slate grey, bronze, with the occasional occasional surprise burst of poppy or mustard. Leather wrap belts pulled the looks together and kept these flirty dresses from looking too precious. All dresses, all delicate, and I want to rock each and every one.

Alek Wek Book Launch Party

Supermodels Alek Wek and Iman at book launch party

Alek Wek and Iman celebrated the launch of her book Alek: From Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel at Socialista in New York City. Alek’s autobiography is the highly anticipated (at least by me) story of her life and path from Sudanese war refugee to London shampoo girl to one of the world’s most recognizable faces. If you read the book excerpt that appeared in the August issue of Vogue magazine, you know exactly how fascinating her story is. Just the short passage I read in Vogue made me immediately go and put it on my Amazon wishlist.

Grey Ant Spring 2008

LA designers Grey Ant started the Fashion Week buzz a bit early. They kicked off a week in the tents with high style and high waists. Grant Krajecki rolled his history with high-waisted jeans into high-waisted trousers and slim cut pants. He then flipped the menswear inspired looks on their ear with very easy, feminine dresses. I’m dying over their dandelion-yellow tie dye shift.
