    There's nothing like a benefit fashion show to make you feel good for once about all the time and money you invest in your love of clothes! The Seam Collective, a NYC-based alliance dedicated to the advancement of female designers, sponsored the Spring/Summer 2010 Forte Charity Fashion Show, which took place last week, boasting Project Runway season 5 alum Kenley Collins as the headliner. 50% of ticket proceeds went to support Gilda's Club, a program that raises money for cancer patients and their families. Alongside Kenley, who presented a chic Amelia Earheart-inspired collection, emerging designers Sheila Frank, Elizabeth Rynish, and Marissa Erskine also presented their Ready To Wear lines to the event's eager turnout. We especially love Sheila Frank's button-up romper and Elizabeth Rynish's swirled paint patterns! Check out the slideshow for some pictures from the runway!

    Hot In The Hive: Michael Kors Very Hollywood Solid Perfume ...

    Ok, I can't be the only person who's ecstatic about the return of Michael Kors as a judge on Project Runway, right? I didn't know I could miss his clever and biting quips ("slutty slutty slutty" and "insane crotch" come to mind) more than Heidi Klum misses being pregnant. Michael Kors has the American sportswear market cornered with his sophisticated yet effortlessly styled clothing. So I wasn't surprised when browsing through Sephora that he's lent his name to various fragrances too. Of course, Michael understands the value of having something with multiple functions. His Very Hollywood Solid Perfume Cocktail Ring definitely fits the bill because it may look like a showstopping cocktail ring, but if you slide the gem over, it's also a solid perfume. The Very Hollywood perfume has notes of sparkling mandarin, gardenia, and vetiver for a fresh yet distinctive scent. Go ahead, dab some on at your pulse points and get ready to steal the show!

    Price: $40
    Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the Michael Kors Very Hollywood Solid Perfume Cocktail Ring to the Hive.

    Don't you just love seeing Project Runway castoffs rise from the ashes and really do something with their talent? We've seen plenty of Christian Siriano in the fashion week circuit, and even some strange Santino Rice cameos on various reality shows.. but now it's Jerell Scott's turn. The season 5 veteran launched his Fall 2009 collection at One Take Studio in downtown LA this past weekend over drinks and hors d'oeuvres... and an opening performance by Macy Gray! The intimate venue provided guests with an up-close look at the collection, including an accompanying photo exhibit by E Leon Myers and even an exclusive sneak preview at his upcoming Spring 2010 line. Inspired by indigenous people all over the world, the collection boasted flowing fabrics, bold prints and an undeniable tribal energy that foreshadowed many innovative and promising things to come from the designer! Take a look at the slideshow for some pictures of the event and his collection!

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Michael Kors

    If you've been going through Michael Kors withdrawals due to his erratic attendance record on the latest Project Runway season's judging panel, you may be happy to see that he's more than making up for it at his "day job." The designer's Spring/Summer 2010 collection focused on architectural shapes and his own modern play on the power suit, boasting a number of patterned three-piece ensembles and updated shift dresses for today's business bigwigs. While still managing to keep his classic ready-to-wear silhouettes, Kors strayed slightly from his signature understated elegance and threw in some bold cut-outs, edgy plastic insets, and a variety of metallic and splatter paint patterns one might not typically see in the straight-laced business world. Take a look at the slideshow for some of the runway highlights!

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Christian Siriano

    As demonstrated by Christian Siriano's stunning Spring/Summer 2010 collection, the youngest-ever winner of Project Runway is still fierce as ever! While his Fall 2009 collection took inspiration from Egyptian pharaohs and the sandy banks of the Nile, this time around he took his audience on a trip to what looked like a Tahitian beach sunset with his satiny tan suits, orange gradient gowns, and sparkly aqua hues. Shimmering steel-blue pinstripes and cascading tiered ruffles gave the collection a distinctly oceanic vibe along with a polished femininity, and every piece seemed to boast a "Christian" signature, from the sand-and-sky color palette to the My Fair Lady-esque floppy hats. If that wasn't a challenge for the other PR graduates to step up their game, I don't know what is! Click on the slideshow to browse the dazzling collection!
