MAC COSMETICS (HEARTS) LADY GAGA
Is it even any surprise that Lady Gaga has her own lipstick from MAC cosmetics? The 23 year old singer/performer knows a thing or two about make-up and getting made up so it was only fitting that MAC capitalized on her popularity and fan base who so deperatly want those cotton candy pink lips too. The Viva Glam Gaga is from the collaboration with the singer and Cyndi Lauper, available in store this March.
MAC lipstick in Viva Glam Gaga, $14.

Initials thoughts where ”wait – no, they cant be wearing flats!” gasp – “of course not, they’re like , um what you call them …kitten heels” OMG.
Leave it to Marc to kick the six inch heel trend out. Ladies if your a Trifter ( aka person who loves to thrift shop for vintage pieces) then you’ll love Marc’s latet collection , which I’d like to sum up High School Teacher Sophistication – clear eyeglasses, flats with socks, pants suits, skirts that hit below the knee and granny purses.
But lets not be too judgemental here, the last part of the show nicly progressed into “I’m working the hell out of these flats” with fur trimmed long dresses, bright yellow sweaters and velvet skirts like only Marc can do. Oh! and that transparent coat – leaves me a bit unsure – but its fashion as art and is what to be expected from the man that challenges us to be a little bit more original. Let’s get off the caravan people!
Traditionally after 25 years you celebrate with Silver, but After 25 years of shows for Donna Karen, she decided to celebrate with black. The timeless shade – black never goes out of style and almost anyone can comfortably wear a LBD ( little black dress). In a way her collection was a futuristic look on the brand as well a homage to its previous years – cocoon styled coats, sultry leather lined dresses a equal mix of past and future.
Zac Posen’s collection reminded me of the type of designs you’d see at a graduation for a Fashion school – a lot of theory some practicality but mostly a show that left didn’t leave people saying “I want that!” – their was no envy for the pieces.
There was no big bang idea behind the fall 2010 collection for Tracy Reesse, you could tell she kept the daydreaming out of this seasons look with a focus on ready-to-wearabilty and keeping up with trends - lace, layers and faux fur. But in a way the collection seemed like it could have been one of those retail GO collaborations with Target – Mass Appeal with slight infusions of the designers brand.

This week Heidi Klum stepped out to show her post baby body in a very simple ensemble that many woman can also wear – and works on many body types; black blazer, silk blouse with leggings. Proving the fashion philosophy that style is ageless and priceless.

Alexander Wang
Alexander Wang has somehow manged to consistently have the best fashion followers since his first show – fashion buyer, stylists and magazine editors alike all woo at his creations and most specifically his accessories that quickly become either it bags or it shoes.
I feel a bit ripped off this season – literally as many of the pieces looked like they were missing fabric in some places and too much fabric in other areas. It would be interesting to see how people wear these off the catwalk , stomach bearing and all.
This is the third season for the newcomer and he’s out with a collection that says he more mature and definitely has staying power with clean cut lines, leather body suits and updated wool ponchos.
Peter Som
Peter Som came out with a strong showing of how to skillfully mix and match colors, patterns, and texture for a sultry and sophisticated look. He pulled it off with the use of flowy fabrics such as silk and chiffon.
Jason Wu
Something tells me that from Jason Wu’s Fall 2010 show he no longer wants to be seen as the designer who can just make ball gown dresses – so he’s switched things up a bit with a turn to more edge, rather than frills.
Boy by Band of Outsiders
Scott Sternberg showed us how he could tweak the interchangeable male/female wardrobe with American classics and a touch of color, or the lack thereof with bright yellows or models draped in all gray.
ADAM
For some reason this is what I expected the Alexander Wang show to look like – easy clothes that you can wear whenever. Shearling lined cropped leather jackets paired with jogging pants might not be very original , but originality doesn’t sell its adaptability that doesn’t and my guess is well see these pieces being sold out in stores.
