I was so excited to kick off my Fashion Week coverage at United Bamboo, because Shiseido’s Dick Page was the lead makeup artist at the show. This guy is a trip. Not only is he incredibly talented, he has a great sense of humor (and he always has 5 minutes to talk to a blogger about the look).

United Bamboo’s designers showed Dick a photo from Self Service magazine featuring an eye look that they wanted for the show. Turns out Dick did the makeup for that shoot, so recreating the look was a snap!

So we’ve been posting all these excerpts from the reprints of How to be a Good Husband and How to be a Good Wife for your amusement (and, perhaps, education?). Although the manuals, written in the 1930s, seemed reasonably progressive for their time (”Don’t pose as a weak little thing,” Good Wife admonishes), they certainly don’t cover most of the issues germane to a romantic entanglement in 2008. But, thanks to your comments, we’ve been collecting some suggestions for good spousedom in the 21st century! Like: “Let her win at Guitar Hero sometimes, but not all the time,” and “Don’t expect a backrub to turn into sex. Just give her a backrub with no agenda once in a while”.

But we want to hear more! So post those rules and regulations for proper relationship behavior in the comments now. I’ll start: “Do pick the bathmat up off the floor after you’ve showered, especially when your girlfriend has asked you to do so at least forty times.” Read the rest of this entry »

>> You can always count on Alexander Wang for upbeat music, a boisterous crowd, and covetable clothes, but this season, he really seems to have come into his own.  The show this afternoon attracted plenty of fashion notables, including Terry Richardson and Julia Roitfeld, and had Erin Wasson once again styling behind the scenes.

Speaking of Erin, her personal style has really started to infiltrate Alex’s collection: the black leather, biker boots, zippers, and hanging chains were all there.  Also, I saw a little bit of the Olsen’s The Row in the sheer jersey tees.

This is so pretty.  Imagine yourself at a party on a luxury yacht in this dress — that’s what it makes me think of.

>> A note to Gap: rather than collaborating with designers like Doo.ri, Rodarte, and Thakoon — who I love, but they’re totally not your style — consider Rag & Bone.  They’ve got the right neutral color palette and the casual cool aesthetic going on; in short: both very you.  Or who you strive to be, at least.

Plus, their tailoring is really starting to come of age, especially on the outerwear.  I could tell from yesterday’s show, even as far back from the runway as I was.  The stellar quality of these clothes doesn’t translate nearly as well into the photos, but trust me, these are what good staple clothes look like, with a bit of a Britishy twist.

This shoe combines two very different textures to create a unique shoe. The Tory Burch ‘Shea’ Wicker Wedge uses both wicker and patent leather. The woven wicker wedge platform heel is a sharp contrast to the slick black patent upper. When I first glanced, I hated these shoes. But now that I looked at them awhile, they aren’t half bad. Though if I could remove the rope accents on the toe and back strap, I would. I think they ruin the look of these shoes.

Duckie Brown, co-designed by Steven Cox and Daniel Silver, is a menswear line frequently described as “edgy.” But that always seemed like a misnomer, because “edgy” seems to connote pretentiousness and an attitude that’s painfully serious… and Duckie Brown is anything but. The line is playful, occasionally provocative and frequently funny; these are clothes that make you feel happy, a sensation an “edgy” label would often fail to impart. After the jump, Jezebel Jennifer critiques the Fall 2008 collection, currently being held in NYC’s Bryant Park. (Click on picture to jump to her liveblog.)

Ok in my seat @ duckie. Swag is a men’s shaving kit (with a brush and everything) and a box of RIT dye. Mine is kelly green. I am going to try to spy in other people’s bags to see what color they got.
