Sixth Avenue Style
The runway stuff was nice, whatever. Here's what people were wearing
off the catwalk:
-Messy Hair. Even the Gwynnabies abandoned the flatiron.
-Metallic Shoes. Gold and silver sighted in broad daylight.
-Beaten-up logo bags. "Oh, this old thing? It's great for the gym."
Also Seen In Excess...
-Black jeans
-Airbrush tans
-Obese logo sunglasses
-Pointy-toed flats
-Carefully crafted looks of disapproval

"Jiggy" Not In Dress Code
Seen by reader B.R.:
First Wives Club member Sherri Smith "pouting and calling the tent cops when
she wasn't recognized as a VIP. It probably would have
helped [Will's ex] if she wasn't wearing floral-print jeans. Talk about
hanging onto celebrity by the heel of her
Manolo's." Thanks B.R. We always like to see fashion crimes brought to justice.

Fashion Crowd: all Lauren-ed Out
Overheard post-Ralph Lauren this morning:
"Aw-ful. I'm white and WASPy enough as it is. There is no need to spend money reaffirming this."

Zac Posen Designs For Earthlings At Last
The designer famous for dressing wood nymphs and Jedis may be abandoning
old muses for traditional homo sapiens. Aside from one giant feather duster dress,
Posen delivered a collection of short, sinewy dresses that can actually be worn in real life.
The light-hued babydoll dresses will hit Barney's in the spring unless Claire Danes releases her white-knuckled death-grip on them.

Y & Kei, Bastard Child of Fashion Week
Y&Kei all gussied up for big day, fashion crowd ignores. Typical.
Backstage style spy Lisa Wang reports:
"Slim pickings at the Y & Kei warehouse
event. Despite the appropriate white tent and big bodyguards, sadly
most of the street traffic at 537 West 26th was of the gas station
attendant variety. Husband and wife team (Kei is the guy, Y the gal)
suffered the double whammy of waiting so long for the seats to fill up
that people who arrived (somewhat) on time started to leave when the show
didn't start after 45 minutes. The delay? PR reps grabbing techies and set
guys off the street and plunking them into the prime 1st and 2nd row (thus providing
the only legitimate appearance of trucker hats during Fashion week)."
Mobil guys scored sweet goody bags: Bumble & Bumble hair products, Nars lipsticks and
eye glitter, a Y & Kei pocket mirror.
