Wes Gordon, Misha Nonoo, Simon Spurr Win Rising Star Awards

Two designers, Wes Gordon and Nonoo’s Misha Nonoo, tied for the womenswear win Simon Spurr took home the menswear trophy. Rising Star titles remain a prestigious award for young designers, and there’s an added bonus — as Wes Gordon noted in his acceptance speech, the ceremony supplied time for a nice lengthy lunch break in the otherwise frantic run-up to fashion week.
Sounding Auf: A Quick Chat With Project Runway’s All-Star April Johnston
Final night’s six-hour-lengthy challenge didn’t end properly for Project Runway‘s April. The edgy young designer’s wispy purple minidress left the judges underwhelmed to say the least and, with some of the toughest criticism seen so far this season, she became the fourth designer eliminated from the all-star talent pool. But while blueberries led to her ousting (she had to style a dress inspired by the sorbet flavor), she’s got no sour grapes.
Almost everything seemed to go incorrect for you on final night’s episode. Does that mean you saw your elimination coming? Do you hate gelato now?
Project Runway is all about adapting you have to make it function! And like I mentioned final night on the show, there’s only so significantly I could do in six hours. Then it’s out of my hands. It is all about whether [the judges] like my style or not. Final night was just a large mess and I really feel like I actually just fell on my face. So I had that feeling … I’d not been in the top rated, but I’d been in the bottom already — I was seeing a pattern there, that they weren’t actually seeing my aesthetic, or liking it. It really is sad to say, but I was expecting what was going to happen.
Jean Paul Gaultier Couture Spring 2012 Amy Winehouse Inspired Collection
Now that’s a enjoyable Haute Couture occasion! Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Couture was such a stunning show, so colorful, so meaningful, so modern and anchored in our current reality! I loved it!
It was practically completely inspired by Amy Winehouse, which we know, was a source of fashion inspiration for several designers and brands (keep in mind her collection for Fred Perry). Jean Paul Gaultier produced this incredible couture soup based on Amy Winehouse’s dechiré style, added some corset and lace to spice things up and served it with a pinch of his usual rock’n’roll. As usual, I chosen a handful of models I liked the most, but feel free to check out the complete collection here.

Nicky Hilton in James Jeans
I utilised to love Nicky Hilton until she would not stop to take a picture with our denim reviewers, Jenn, although we had been in NY together final NYFW. Now that’s off my chest….
Stylish snobby socialite, Nicky Hilton stepped out for a small shopping spree at Barney’s in Beverly Hills. Wearing a bold, vibrant sweater with James Jeans Twiggy Leggings in Slate, Nicky stepped out of the luxury department store carrying a fresh buy in her shopping bag.
With designers just beginning to release their spring/summer styles, I wonder if Nicky picked up any chic new duds for the warmer months ahead.
