Fashion Week Style: It's All Good At The Chanel Party [The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly]

Jezebel - 11th Sep 2008

Anna Wintour: It's not hard to believe that the guests at a party honoring Chanel (also, oddly, an after-party for The Duchess) would look decent - for one thing, they were probably wearing a lot of Chanel. But to have not even a single "Bad?" That's noteworthy. Sure, maybe not everyone hit Keira Knightley's heights or achieved Coco Rocha's level of chic, but from Anna Wintour to Melania Trump, there was nothing worse than a "meh" at New York's Cooper Square Hotel. The Goods and the Even Betters, after the jump. The Good: Perhaps only a figure like Keira's could pull this off. Coco Rocha's frock is adorable. Anna Wintour's thing is kind of to be impeccably but unobtrusively turned out. Almost didn't recognize her with that

Anna Wintour's Fashion Week Diary: Keeping Tabs
Fashion Week is still in full stride at the Bryant Park tents, and trust, there's much left to be seen. In a reprise of last season's sterling coverage, Radar's sent a diligent intern to find out where Vogue's own Anna Wintour's keeping company—and the manner in which she's keeping it. 10:13 a.m.: Anna just blew by us coming up the steps at the tents (alone!), wearing a white trench coat and some massive sunglasses. She is tiny. By Meg Prossnitz   09/10/08 10:55 AM File Under:

Anna Wintour's Fashion Week Diary II: Update I
10:35 a.m.: Anna's seated in the front row at Micheal Kors, seated delicately between massive Andre Leon Talley and the elegant Grace Coddington. The glasses? They are stashed. The white trench is open and there is a green blouse of unknown origins. 10:53 a.m.: The show has ended (from what we could tell—we're not taking our eyes of Anna—it was good!). Kors has taken his curtain call, and Anna's being ushered off in a hurry by a bodyguard. Hot pursuit! PREVIOUSLY: Anna Wintour's Fashion Wee

Anna Wintour's Fashion Week Diary II: Update II
11:32 a.m.: Costume Institute President Emily Rafferty and curator Harold Koda are talking shop (expansion plans for the Insititute or something) with Anna in broad daylight! We can't help but think the white trench was a masterstroke. Labor Day guidelines be damned.

Anna Wintour's Fashion Week Diary II: Update IV
12:39 p.m.: The Richard Chai show has ended, Anna having sported Chanel shades and BlackBerried people throughout. No applause from Ms. Wintour, either, which seems pretty mean. But then she did clap for second—only briefly, though, as Chai took a bow. She quickly turned on her favorite old heels and mounted a half-wind-sprint to beat the hoi polloi. Off to Oscar de la Renta, no doubt. 1:03 p.m.: Anna ran headlong into de la Renta! They are outside, chatting. PREVIOUSLY: Where's Wintour

Anna Wintour's Fashion Week Diary II: Update VI
2:58 p.m.: Oh sweet Jesus, over here at the Phillip Lim show and we are seated directly across from Anna herself! But you know? It's almost like she's not excited to see Leigh Lezark, Brooke Shields, or even Nina Garcia—to say nothing of the collection. Or maybe it is the threat of seeing one of the Gossip Girl gals, which always looms. As it is, she's just sitting there, gnawing on her lip.

Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez both looked really hot. Victoria is the face of Marc Jacobs line, and Jennifer is debuting her newly fit body at Fashion week. We wonder why she is not featuring any of her lines at fashion week. We loved her lines “Just Sweet” and sweet face” when it debuted a few years ago. The bes

Anna Wintour's Fashion Week Diary II: Update III
12:19 p.m.: Anna's just made her way into the Richard Chai show, and it must be said—we are only now noticing—that she is wearing the same nude slingback heels she's worn for three days (note to self: buy those). Also, there's a stunning gold watch on her wrist and the green dress fully unveiled and still of unknown origin. She's lost the shades. She smiled politely for the cameras, said hello to scribe Suzy Menkes, and took her seat, directly in front of Lisa Love of Teen Vogue and The Hills an

Spring 09 Fashion Week: Michael Kors
So, I'm loving all this Fashion Week coverage. I'm not a very fashionable individual, but I love watching other people in action who are. Seats to the front row of the Michael Kors show were filled with the tight rear-ends of such lovelies as Emmy-nominated jeans-seller Heidi Klum and Joy Bryant. Blake Lively looked lovely in her short black and white dress. The Gossip Girl cast have really been representing for Fashion Week, those pretend upper crust rich kids. I want their fake lives.

Sean Avery Remembers His Real Job in Hockey, Flitters Off From Fashion Week
Sean Avery skated (ugh!) his way into your fantasies playing for the New York Rangers, but you'd never know it from all the summer buzz. Avery "begged" Anna Wintour an internship at her body dysmorphic disorder magazine and the queen relented, as she needed to learn some pro tips on gracefully bodychecking underlings while making impromptu exits. Now that time has run out on Avery's NY experience, he is cramming in all the Fashion Week activities he can before he moves to Texas to join

Anna Wintour's Fashion Week Diary II: The End
3:59 p.m.: Minutes ago, we lost track of Anna. Yeah, just like that. 4:22 p.m.: Still nothing. She must be gone? 4:36 p.m.: Ack! A total no-show at Carlos Meile, and we're going to take that as our cue. See you tonight maybe, Anna?

Vogue's Second-in-Command Communicates Telepathically with the Mother Ship
Yesterday the big Vogue hotshot was Aliona Doletskaya, the editor over at the Russian edition, who managed to get a degree in comparative literature and namedrop the Byzantine era while setting up shoots and appearing at Fashion Week. If you think Doletskaya's job involves a near-superhuman level of commitment, Andre Leon Talley, the editor-at-large for Vogue, takes it one step further into the realm of the implausible: My secret is staying close to Anna Wintour, who is incredible as a boss as wel

Where Will We See Britney’s Photoshoot Pics?
The speculation continues over Britney Spears’ photo shoot with Patrick Demarchelier yesterday in Bel-Air. The legendary photographer has shot for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and countless other leading fashion magazines, and now we’re left wondering which glossy will showcase pictures of the pop princess. E! Online reports that it won’t be Vogue, due to the reportedly disastrous 2001 cover featuring the pop singer. According to a source for E!, editor-in-chief Anna Wintour “will

Painting Of Anna Wintour Doubles As Anna Wintour Slam Book [Art]
100 or so people finally got to give notorious Vogue editor Anna Wintour a piece of their mind at Fashion Week. Well, via a painting at least. An artist named Geoffrey Raymond (who aims to become "the pre-eminent American portrait painter of the 21st century") painted what he calls "The Annotated Anna" and set it up at Bryant Park this week with a request for people to write a little note to The Devil Wears Prada inspiration. Oh, and you can buy it! (Hear that Anna?) Starting bid on eBay is $3,500. The arti

New York Fugshion Week: Day Oh My God, We're So Close To Being Able To Put Up Our Feet (So, Six)
Let's see....what happened yesterday? We did not end up stuck in an elevator with Anna Wintour. (If this happens, I plan to talk to her about tennis.) We did not talk our ways into a cameo on Gossip Girl (I want to play the crafty blogger who makes out with Chuck as a way to help him make Blair jealous).  We did not trip out of our high heels and land in the laps of any luminaries. However, we did see this: "Hee hee! Tell me again how pretty I am, Mr de la Renta. TELL ME!" If you can only have one c

Britney’s Demarchelier Photoshoot May Appear On Glamour
Speculation over Britney’s mysterious photoshoot with fashion-photographer Patrick Demarchelier continues as reports from magazines are denied left and right. After much speculation that Demarchelier was shooting Britney for an upcoming Vogue issue, Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour said she “will never put her on the cover again,” according to a source. My first choice is Vanity Fair, but according to Eonline.com, it’s a long shot. “Vanity Fair’s editor-in-chi

Match Point
Last night, Vogue cleared out the Gramercy Park Hotel's Rose Bar to host a cocktail soirée in honor of Maria Sharapova's collaboration with Cole Haan. As it happened, the party coincided with Roger Federer's U.S. Open final match, and since it's no secret that many a Vogue staffer is an avowed Federer-phile, party chitchat was less hemlines and It bags, more volleys and backhands. "I'm trying to get my iPhone to download the game," confided senior accessories editor Filipa Fino, who shared hostessing

McCain Links Obama to Toddler Sex
The newest misleading ad from Camp McCain says Barack Obama's "only accomplishment" is teaching kindergartners about sex "before (they) learn to read." They must be referring to that bill Obama didn't sponsor, but voted for, that "gave schools the ability to warn young children about inappropriate touching and sexual predators."

Russian Vogue Editrix Developed Actual Journalism Skills
The Motherland is schooling the United States on how to run their own magazines: Apparently "fashion journalism" emphasizes both words equally in Russia, which makes everyone crowding those tents here in Bryant Park this week look like, well, fashion bloggers. Aliona Doletskaya is the editor over at Russian Vogue, and the qualifications she brings to the table as a reporter and editor outnumber the amount of haircuts Anna Wintour receives on a yearly basis. Dolestkaya holds a Ph.D. in comparativ
