Christian Siriano Fall 2010 Collection

Designer Christian Siriano - who’s virtually known for his sharp, avant garde designer pieces, took on a different approach at this year’s Fall 2010 Fashion Week. Siriano decided to tone it down and with sleek silks, ruffles, metallics and above-the-knees one-shoulder piece dresses.

Noted color selection was dark - Navy Blue, Black, Violet and Plum. One word used to describe this collection would be empowering. Christian Siriano may be young, but he’s definitely proving to be a veteran in the fashion game.

Reality Check: Project Runway Season 6, Episode 12

Bryant Park became a reality for three designers on Project Runway last night. But, for two, it was the bittersweet end of their short-lived, reality show lives.

Tim Gunn took the designers to The J. Paul Getty Museum where they were invited to use the center as inspiration for their last design. To get the creative juices flowing, Gunn also brought out the models to serve as muses while the designers were perusing the Getty Center. From the striking architecture to the beautiful interiors and inspirational paintings, there was something for each of the designers to focus their designs on.

This was the final challenge for the five remaining designers and as the gravity of the situation set in, the tension in the studio could be cut with a knife.

Carol Hannah found a luxurious French bed from 1775 and designed a gold evening gown that the judges thought was beautifully executed but not reminiscent of the inspiration. While they all agreed that it was perhaps the most show-stopping piece on the runway, they also warned her that was playing it a bit safe.

Gordana fixated on a painting by Monet and created a dress that symbolized not only her simplistic and sophisticated design aesthetic but also her strong spirituality. As her model walked down the runway, she remarked that this was the best dress she felt she had ever made. The judges all agreed that her piece closely resembled the painting with the flowy, gorgeously draped material, but wondered if her performance would be strong enough to carry her all the way to Bryant Park.

Irina also spotted a painting, but she was interested in replicating the gauzy, sheer material that was draped over two voluptuous women. Her flowy number was beautifully crafted but she definitely missed the mark with the accessories. Her delicate dress was overshadowed by clunky shoes, heavy bangles, large earrings and a distracting headband. Once the accessories were removed, the judges all agreed the dress looked much simpler.

Christopher is the last man standing in this challenge and he knows he is the wildcard. He has always stayed true to his own visions, even at the dismay of the judges. At the Getty Center, he spotted a rocky water fountain and focused on the algae at the water’s edge, creating a dress in a slate blue-gray color. The judges felt he had chosen the wrong fabric for the dress and wondered if his lack of experience was becoming a hindrance.

Althea tried to recreate the architecture of the museum into the structure of her skirt but found that her material was much more difficult to manage than she had anticipated. Heidi Klum said she was disappointed with her and surprised to see such a messy design.

Luckily for Althea, her strong body of work was enough to save her and send her to Bryant Park along with Irina and Carol Hannah, whose designs stood out above the rest. Although Klum admitted that this was the hardest challenge to decide, the judges decided to send Christopher and Gordana home.

Next week is sure to bring a fresh dose of design drama as the designers get to make their own collections and head across the country to Bryant Park. Be sure to tune in next week to see how these three women will fair in the Big Apple!

StyleFixx Event Shows Women How to Take Charge of Fashion

At last night’s Girls Night Out, hosted by StyleFixx in the Metropolitan Pavilion, Fashion With Fifi mingled with NYC’s trendy fashionistas and perused a room with more than 55 style conscious designers and brands.

The two-night event, held on October 21^st and 22^nd from five to 10 p.m., featured special guest Project Runway Designer Kara Janx and her new fall collection as well as complimentary makeup demos from Emmy award-winning celebrity makeup artist Eve Pearl.

This was the debut of the StyleFixx event at its NYC location and Jason Rothe, the company’s president, stressed how exciting it was to be in the city. “Our goal is to bring class and sophistication to this unique shopping event,” he said.

Rothe explained that the event was all about treating women well and generously by showcasing the most relevant and current products on the market. Fashion consultants were at the event, offering inside information for style-conscious women vendors encouraged guests to try on everything from jewelry to jackets, to hats and sunglasses, making the event fun and dynamic!

“Women in New York City are more edgy and more in-tuned to trends here. They are so surrounded with fashion and trends, which makes them more critical,” said Rothe.

Rothe recognizes that vendors today need to take a new approach to marketing their products and designs to women. “For longevity, you have to be creative and engaging and reach out to women,” he said. The purpose of this event was to create a very hands-on and interactive shopping event that was both fun and relaxing for women.

Stylists at Enzo Milano showed guests how to create loose, romantic curls with their new product line, giving demonstrations and even letting guests try it out themselves, as you can see in the pictures above!

Reality Check: Project Runway Season 6, Episode 10

Now that the cast has dwindled down to just seven remaining designers, it has become increasingly harder to pinpoint who will go home.

This week’s challenge was to pick one of Michael Kor’s favorite destinations and create an ensemble inspired from that locale. Designers had to choose between New York City, Los Angeles, Santa Fe, San Tropez, Aspen, Greece, and Palm Beach and finish the entire look under the impossibly tight deadline of one day.

Gordana spent most of her time creating an elaborate, detachable crystal neckline for her dress that the judges all agreed was the focal point of her dress, making it a spot-on design fit for a Park Avenue Princess.

Irina once again wowed the judges with her Aspen-inspired snow bunny outfit, using her tight budget to create an expensive-looking, three-piece outfit. The pants were modeled after ski-pants, the top was a roomy, cowl-necked sweater, and she completed her look with a luxurious faux-fur vest. Although it was clear her muse was not stepping anywhere near the ski trails, the judges named her the challenge winner because of her ability to make a beautifully executed look that perfectly encapsulated Aspen’s snowy atmosphere.

But the judges narrowed their least favorite looks down to Nicolas and Christopher, failing to find anything awe-inspiring about their interpretations.

Christopher, who has found himself in the bottom three the past few weeks after such a promising start to the season, had trouble capturing the style of Santa Fe. Although he managed to create a beautifully intricate belt that guest judge Mila Jovovich gushed over, the rest of his dress looked more like a costume than a southwestern inspiration.

In the end, it was Nicolas’ Grecian-gone awry outfit that baffled the judges and sent him packing. Everyone agreed that his gauzy shirt with the disproportionate sleeves and the slightly flared menswear pants captured the wrong Greece. Instead, his ensemble looked more like something Olivia Newton John would have worn in her hit musical, Grease!

Designers are dropping like flies and those remaining are getting closer and closer to a trip to Bryant Park. Tune in next week to find out who Klum will give the boot to next!

Reality Check: Project Runway Season 6, Episode 7

Okay, take a look at these two outfits. Now try to name their similarities. Having a hard time? So did Klum and the judges on last night's episode of Project Runway.

Just looking at these two very different dresses, by Epperson and Christopher, most people would never be able to guess that this week's challenge was to create two complimentary looks for Macy's I.N.C. brand, working in teams of two. In fact, these two dresses were so off the mark that they almost sent Christopher and Epperson packing

Christopher and Epperson were obviously surprised by their low marks and had even remarked halfway through the challenge that they were the "dream team." So when they found themselves trying to defend their outfits, Christopher lost his cool and broke down in tears on the runway.

The green dress' neckline was definitely unflattering for the modern woman and the shirt dress started out as a good idea, I thought, but the shimmery material was its downfall.

Rivaling Christopher and Epperson for the bottom spot was team Louise and Nicolas. Their ruffled dresses looked like outdated bridesmaid dresses, which did not stand well with the judges. Luckily, Nicolas had immunity after winning last week's challenge, a saving grace that Klum did not let him forget!

After threatening to send home two designers, Klum finally voted Louise off the runway, letting Christopher and Epperson stay in the competition for another week.

But Irina and Jordanna, despite their differences during the challenge, managed to clinch the top spot and Irina was named the challenge winner. Although she did not receive immunity this week, she did win the opportunity to design a holiday dress for the I.N.C. brand. I would say that is a fair trade!

And thank goodness, Michael Kors finally made an appearance back on the judging panel. His critical input has been sorely missed the last few weeks and I hope he is back for good!

Reality Check: Project Runway Season 6, Episode 6

At 10:58 last night, I was stopped dead in my tracks. Heidi and her entourage had made their final decision and decided to eliminate Ra'Mon. I was absolutely stunned! This was exactly the kind of upset that Project Runway needed to get fans sitting up straighter in their seats. It definitely worked for me!

This week, the designers chose from five different movie genres and their challenge was to create a character within that genre and design a costume for it. And, just to raise the stakes a little higher, the designers were only given one day to complete the challenge. This challenge truly tested each designer's time management skills and their ability to think creatively under an extremely tight deadline.

After Ra'Mon created the beautifully flowy dress that resembled seaweed, with the accompanying avante garde batik a few weeks ago, I was so suprised to see him leave after only one failed attempt. But, in the end, the judges felt his lime green Sci-Fi inspired ensemble looked more like a messy swamp monster.

Instead, the judges allowed Louise to stay for one more week, even though she had never been a challenge winner and, this week, made a disappointing dress that looked way too boring for the Film Noir genre it was supposed to represent.

On a more exciting note, this week also showcased some showstopping numbers by Christopher, Epperson and Nicolas. Epperson had to create a Western costume, a genre he was not thrilled with, but he made the best of his situation with a gorgeously ruffled denim dress that perfectly blurred the lines between contemporary chic and seasoned saloon girl.

Christopher chose to work in a Period genre and decided to create a dress for a vampire bride that was equal parts costume couture and runway ready.

But the winner of this week's challenge was Nicolas with his fantastical interpretation of an ice queen. His white dress, with its interestingly feathered neckline, was praised by the judges for its beautiful shape and amazing on-stage presence.

I loved this week because it presented a number of upsets and kept me on my toes. I mean, who would have thought that Nicolas would be named the challenge winner and Ra'Mon would be sent home?? Definitely not me! I hope next week throws me for another delightful loop!

Cellufun: The New Approach to Shopping

Fashion Week may be over but you can still get your hands on some of the most coveted runway looks-if you have a phone, that is. Jillian Lewis, a finalist in Project Runway's Season Four, has made her Spring 2010 collection available on Cellufun, the mobile virtual world. The collection, which just debuted at Fashion Week, will be the first fashion line to reach women via their mobile phones.

Technology permeates almost every facet of daily life so it makes perfect sense that fashion should come to the forefront and play a major role. Now any mobile phone with a data plan, including smart phones, can enjoy Cellufun. The New York-based Cellufun, known as "The World's Mobile Playground", is a mobile social community where people can meet, shop, and play social games.

Lewis' designs are modeled by Avatars and users can buy the pieces for 100 to 300 FunCoins, the equivalent of $1.00 to $3.00. With more than 2.5 million users, Cellufun is an innovative, new approach to marketing. By making her line accessible to the mobile community, Lewis is excited to have the opportunity to show her collection to so many people.

Cellufun is available with no download required and partners with Verizon, Virgin Mobile, MetroPCS, AOL, and USA Today. With more than 200 million monthly page views, Cellufun truly is the new approach to marketing.

Reality Check: Project Runway, Season 6, Episode 5

Finally, the designers of Project Runway were given a challenge that was truly puzzling. After being led to the LA Times' headquarters, the designers were told that they had to create a look completely out of newspaper. The inspiration came from the first paper dress, which was made in 1968, and the designers had to come up with their own unique perspective.




In three minutes, the cast furiously stuffed stacks of newspapers into trash bags and tried to visualize what they would create. Back in the studio, most designers were admittedly perplexed.



Christopher wanted to win over the judges this week by making a showstopping dress with lots of 'wow' factor. And he managed to do just that by creating a solid bodice and a voluminous, flowing skirt out of shredded newspaper that, incredibly, resembled feathers.



Althea, who had immunity this week, was inspired by the architecture of buildings and decided to use the newspaper to make a stunning pattern across the dress. Her dress was exquisitely made and hugged the model's curves perfectly, striking a perfect chord with the judges.



But Irina came to the forefront after remaining under the competition's radar the past few weeks with her Chanel-esque trench coat. The coat was beautifully constructed and included innovative detailing, like the collar and cuffs that were made of scrunched newspaper. The judges were all in agreement and named her the challenge winner.



Now for the episode's juicy drama! Johnny crumbled under the pressure, yet again, scrapping his original dress after Tim Gunn told him it looked like a kindergartener's mess. But, when his model came in for a fitting, he lied and told her that the steamer sprayed water all over the dress and ruined it. He stuck to his story, telling everyone, even the judges, that the steamer was the reason for the dress's disappearance. Too bad there were 11 other designers and a camera crew present to witness the actual truth. Unfortunately, his second attempt looked sloppy and lacked originality and creativity.



Nicolas, who thought his 90's punk rock throwback was going to be a hit, took every opportunity to trash his fellow opponent, Johnny. He even went so far as to call Johnny out on his lie in front of Heidi Klum and the judges, telling them all that the original dress was awful.



But karma always comes back around, and this week, Nicolas found himself in the bottom two, right next to Johnny. It was a close call, but the judges ultimately decided to eliminate Johnny. Maybe next time Nicolas will think twice before opening his mouth in front of the cameras....



The competition is getting fierce; let's stay tuned and see who will be auf'd next week!

Reality Check: Project Runway, Season 6 Episode 4

I am breathing a huge sigh of relief right now. I am not joking, when I saw that Logan was in the bottom two next to Qristyl on last night’s episode of Project Runway, I started having heart palpitations. My palms were sweating and my pulse was quickening. It may be because he looked absolutely delicious or that he was wearing those fabulous silver pants on the runway, but I just could not bear to see him go!

His cocktail dress was definitely a bad combination of 80’s prom queen and punk rock. And the judges were right, he could have done so much more with the fabric and the style. But ultimately, he ignored his instinct and listened to his model. That was because this week’s challenge was to work with the models to create a look for an upcoming industry event.

Many of the designers struggled to satisfy their models’ wishes while still staying true to themselves. Shirin questioned her model’s request for a royal blue jumpsuit and in the end, decided not to compromise her own judgment and modified her look into a chic dress.

But Althea once again stunned the judges (and myself!) with her unique and interesting twist on the classic suit. It was a three-piece number that included a beautifully fitted jacket and a voluminous skirt that struck a perfect balance. All the judges agreed that they would walk out the door with her outfit and named her the challenge winner.

Unfortunately, Qristyl’s attempt at creating a simple, black style yielded a boring, safe dress that the judges said looked cheap. And Klum made the final observation that her dress made the model look fifteen years younger, which is devastating for any model to hear! During a moment of intense deliberation (I was watching through squinted eyes with bated breath) Klum gave Qristyl the boot and sent Logan back to the designers. And I have to say, I couldn’t be happier!

Stay tuned for next week’s dose of fashion drama….I know I will!

Reality Check: Project Runway, Season 6, Episode 1

Last week, season 6 of Project Runway premiered on the Lifetime Network, giving reality show junkies and fashionistas across the country a new reason to cancel their Thursday night plans and tune in to prime time television. When a new cast of equally talented designers, some traveling as far as Kansas City and Minnesota, all converged on New York City's fashion district. The brilliant and beautiful Heidi Klum spared no expense in welcoming them in. After spanning their spacious new apartment, the giddy cast mates were invited on to the roof where Tim Gunn and Klum greeted them with flutes of bubbly.

But the royal treatment came to an abrupt halt when Gunn and Klum announced the designers' first challenge; to create a red carpet worthy look that expressed each designer's unique point of view. The budget was $200 with a deadline of two days, and the cast hurried to Mood Fabrics.

This season's cast boasts an eclectic mix that is sure to bring lots of surprises and, of course, drama. The threat of elimination became immediately and personalities begin to flare as the cast realized that their dresses would either make or break their chances.

First, there is Johnny Sekalis who tried out numerous times, but had to battle his drug addictions before finally landing a spot. After four sketches and a few failed sewing attempts, Johnny lost his cool and wondered if the pressure would be too much to handle. After a quick pep talk from Gunn, he was ready to kick his demons. He ended up producing a glamorous dress that he envisioned an actress wearing to her movie premier.

Next we have Mitchell Hall, fresh from design school, who wants to create a flowy dress that is reminiscent of a heroine in a Victorian novel. But after spending hours "smocking" the collar and front of the dress, he realizes that his model is actually five inches taller than he had been told. He scraps the majority of the dress and, with little time to spare, stitches completely sheer fabric around his model, resulting in what looks more like a nightgown than a red carpet gown.

But when it came down to business, Klum and her assemblage of fashion royalty (Nina Garcia, fashion director at Marie Claire and designer Michael Kors) decided to eliminate the quirky Kansas City native, Ari Fisher and her avant garde style. Her inability to focus and channel her creativity resulted in a silver dress that resembled a space-age soccer ball and, in the end, sent her packing.

And on a brighter note, it was the inexperienced Christopher Straub, who stole the show with his edgy yet youthful black cocktail dress, winning him immunity in the next challenge and hopefully a couple nights of restful beauty sleep. Be sure to tune in to Lifetime tonight at 10p.m. for Episode 2!!

Victoria’s Secret Beauty

Gets FIERCE with Christian Siriano

Victoria’s Secret Beauty is revamping its Very Sexy cosmetic collection with the first beauty venture with none other than Christian Siriano himself. Victoria’s Secret wanted to get in on this FIERCEness as well! I am thrilled with excitement and can’t wait for this launch; being that I’m a huge Siriano fan and own a lot of the Very Sexy beauty collection. The collection will be branded Christian Siriano for VS Makeup (in august and Very Sexy makeup will also be rebranded as VS Makeup).

“We’ve freshened the line to be more comprehensive, with more shades and more finishes,” said Jean Gordon, vice president of brand development, noting that the redone collection will launch in August with 180 shades. “A big influence comes from working with professional makeup artists — like Charlotte Tilbury and Polly Osmond during the New York fashion shows — and formulating professional yet easy to use cosmetics by tapping into their techniques. We’ve also listened to our consumers and broadened our shade range, so there are products for women of every shade.”

Damn Homey!?!?: They refuse to give sales projections but industry insiders say estimates that it could sell between $55-60 million in its first year!

Who want it?!: Victoria’s Secret chose Christian because “he’s really establishing a close following, and we think he resonates with our consumer,” Gordon said. “His collection for us coincides with some of the looks he’s doing for his fall apparel collection — the blue of the Nile, for instance.”

Competition, Please!: Shashi Batra, president of Victoria’s Secret Beauty is quick to point out Siriano’s project won’t muscle Heidi Klum’s makeup aside. “Heidi’s makeup has been a bestseller for us, and we will pulse those in as well,” he said. “We’re experimenting in various areas. That’s the advantage of being both the developer and the retailer.” Maybe Heidi put in a good word for him. The more the merrier.

Price: This limited edition collection will be somewhat higher than the VS main line. The collection includes five shades of eye shadow, each $14; black eyeliner, $12; three lip gloss shades, each $14; a bronzer-highlighter trio, $24; a face brush, $32, and a ruffled cosmetics bag, $16.

Packaging: items will be packaged in gold compacts with the Christian Siriano for VS Makeup logo engraved on top.

The good news just doesn’t stop for this guy and I love it ……. I’ll keep you posted with the updates!
