Paul Smith To Design Exclusive Collection For Barneys New York

Lisanne Silverman on Apr 29, 2009 12:18 PM PDT

There are stores I love, and then there are stores I wish I could love more. Oh, and by love I mean shop at. Barneys is one of those stores. Creative Director Simon Doonan has such a refreshingly lighthearted take on designer fashion that other high-end department stores seem to lack, and when the day comes that I lose all self-restraint and decide to blow my life savings on Lanvin bow pumps, I know I'll need plenty of humor to get me through it. I can count on Barneys for that. In the meantime, I'll have to focus my sights elsewhere, but when I heard Paul Smith was designing an exclusive collection for the retailer, I figured it deserved some attention! The collection of suiting, separates, and shirts, fittingly titled "Exclusive," will be available in Barneys flagship stores this fall. Smith had this to say about the upcoming line: "I have been privileged to work with Barneys New York for many years and so it's really great that I can do something that is especially for them and create an Exclusive collection where the designs are very Paul Smith." So what can we expect? Lots of striping, check designs, and velvet. So what if it's for the boys? You know I'll be there to check it (and the shoe section) out anyway.

Lisbon Fashion Week HeartCore Winter 2010: Nuno Baltazar

Alex Gambardella on Mar 19, 2009 9:22 AM PDT

Last Saturday, Portuguese designer Nuno Baltazar showed off his Winter 2010 Collection on Day 3 of Lisbon Fashion Week in Cascais, Portugal, and he had every reason to be proud of the parade of satiny sheaths that floated gracefully down the runway. While the sophisticated-yet-predictable pieces that cascaded down the catwalk in the first half of the show threatened to put Baltazar in the "yawn" category due to the monochromatic grays and redundant belted silhouettes, the collection suddenly took a turn for the exciting in its second half with an unexpectedly brilliant palette of contrasting yellow and purple color-blocked dresses and deep sea blue ruffled gowns. The bare-faced, wispy-haired models served as the appropriately understated muses on which the brightly-toned and delicately-draped dresses really popped and truly allowed the careful construction and brilliant colors speak for themselves.

New York Fashion Week Runway: Barbie Gets Dolled Up For Her ...

Alex Gambardella on Feb 19, 2009 1:23 PM PST

She may be officially over the hill, but she can still work a runway! For Valentine's Day, Barbie collectors young and old crowded the Bryant Park tents to catch a glimpse of the pink-curtained catwalk and pay tribute to the plaything-turned-fashion-icon and her enviable wardrobe. As part of Mattel's year-long 50th Anniversary celebration for the world's most adored doll, 50 of the world's most renowned designers, including the likes of Diane von Furstenberg, Catherine Malandrino, Rachel Roy, Alexander Wang, and Calvin Klein, produced an array of imaginative ensembles for the runway's life-size dolls, all inspired by Barbie's iconic style of the past, present, and even future. From the classic black-and-white polka-dot bikini to hot pink crop dresses a la Malibu Barbie, all the pieces were uniquely inventive while staying true to the mini blond bombshell. And of course, the outfits weren't complete without Barbie's cat-eye sunglasses and a shiny pair of pink Christian Louboutin peep-toes that served as a wearable homage to the real doll's plastic ones that you could never actually get to stay on her unnaturally pointed feet. And you thought her clothes couldn't get any more covetable!

Colors: baby pink (of course!), magenta, fuchsia, kelly green, silver, black
Silhouettes: bubble skirts, strapless baby-doll dresses, sleek mini-dresses, cropped jackets
Celebs: Heidi Klum, Jonathan Adler, Diane von Furstenberg, Peter Som, Kellie Pickler
