Gant by Michael Bastian SS13: Where was Bonus Jonas?

By Sabrina on September 15, 2012 in Fashion, Fashion Weeks, NYFW

A lot of people I’ve spoken to are like “Gant, meh” – but I like their brand of preppy on acid/so chill brah wear. Mallard embroidered trousers – I can dig it. SS13′s presentation was inspired by the Galapagos, and thanks to a last minute invite from Gant’s UK PR, Halpern, I was off up and away downtown at the Industria Superstudios. No model torture here, as they had their own designated waterboy (no lie!) and they smiled, laughed and danced along to M.I.A. There were too many mandals and unattractive man shoes for my liking, and some seriously “interesting” styling but more importantly a full bar of Appleton Estate cocktails (served in tea cups – how did they know I was British?) and PRINTS!

My sour point was when I got shoved out the way for the Jonas Brothers, I kid you not. The Jonas Brothers. I noticed they’re no longer wearing their chastity rings. Also they’re short.

Michael Kors SS13 – New Order of Colour #nyfw

By Sabrina on September 14, 2012 in Fashion, Fashion Weeks, NYFW

You knew it was gonna be a good show once you heard the strains of New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle (my favourite New Order song after Blue Monday) and a double runway. The orchestral mix up with the Vitamin String Quartet and the dance version matched the fun of what Michael Kors is about, it’s wearable, colourful and just about having a good time, with some jazzing up with cyberpunk sunglasses. Hair was neat and models were fresh faced. My girl Karlie Kloss closed the show, and as everyone was on their feet when Mr Kors came out at the end, I thought to myself: “There’s always some bint whose head gets in the way.”

I Only Care About What’s On Your Feet #nyfw

By Sabrina on September 13, 2012 in Fashion, Fashion on Road, Fashion Weeks, Street Stylins'

With every fashion week, you get hundreds of people toting SLRs (hundreds may be an overestimate) frantically snapping away for the in the hopes of becoming the next Sartorialist. Whatever. I don’t care about what you’re wearing, (and my favourite street style snappers are Bill Cunningham and Tommy Ton). I only care for your accessoires. (I’m hoping that’s the French)
