What a Weekend it was for the Fashion World!
If you turned on the television or opened a newspaper or magazine at all this weekend, then you know that it was a busy weekend in the fashion world. Here’s a quick recap of the major highlights:
**Vera Wang - shown here at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in April - designed collection exclusively for Kohl’s that was announced in August 2006 has hit the stores! Originally set to be called Very Vera by Vera Wang, the line now dubbed Simply Vera by Vera Wang began being stocked last week, hit stores officially Sunday August 9, but won’t be fully stocked in all stores until Monday August 17.
**Dame Anita Roddick - founder of The Body Shop, blogger, and human rights and environmental campaigner - passed away at the age of 64 after a brain hemorrhage.
**Fashion Week has been going strong. Unfortunately, I am not cool enough yet to be invited to any of the designers’ shows. So instead, I will direct you to Vogue at the Shows where Vogue writers who are actually that cool provide full coverage on Style.com. Related site Men.Style.com offers coverage of the men and their Fashion Week shows. Women’s Wear Daily provides all the scandals of the weeks including last minute cancellations …and if there is a slow day later this week I’ll compile some slideshows for you from a few favorites since I am cool enough to have access to press photos! Any requests?
**Talk-of-the-town Britney Spears danced and performed “Gimme More” at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday evening in a black sparkly bra and boy shorts with knee-high boots. And of course, people are making fun of her left and right. But come on people… no she doesn’t look as good as she used to (how many of us look the same at 25 as we did at 15?), and yes she could have picked a better outifit, but I’d like to see any one of these stone throwers look half as good post two pregnancies. Heck, I hope I look like this after I have two kids, though I also hope someone steps up and reminds me to put clothes on over top of my underwear before I go out for the night.
