As we continue waiting for the BIG week... well, the big week for fashion lovers, here are some random news bits to tide you over ::
1) Oscar de la Renta has shortened his guest list this year.
That's right, he's decided that given the spectacle NYFW is becoming (with street stylers, budding photographers, and never-ending bloggers), it's going to be best to return to his fashionable roots. Meaning that he is inviting only the serious fashion-insiders who, you know, actually contribute to the industry (aka: the business) side of the fashion world.
ODLR has set the guest list at 350 people, half of the audience from last year's show, stating "I feel [inviting a more targeted audience] is the most manageable way and the most civilized way,” he said. “Why have 20 million people with zero connection to the clothes?”
And of course, like he mentioned, anyone who cares can “see the show on the Internet 20 minutes later. It’s important for [certain industry professionals] to look at the clothes and see them. They shouldn’t have to go through 30,000 people, and 10,000 who are trying to take pictures of all of those people who are totally unrelated to the clothes.” [article here]
2) Pinterest is in on the fashion frenzy.
Pinterest has decided (wisely) to join the fashionable bandwagon and compile all the major NYFW boards worth visiting together onto one landing site. And yes, it is a great idea! [check it out]
3) Casting calls are not pretty.
Well, it's true! This is a contest for models, all vying for a shot at the catwalk...and they know it. It's often a somber affair for the models - they don't necessarily chat happily with each other since they are all trying out for the same number of coveted spots. And getting a job is based on several factors - your walk, your pose, your looks, your attitude, your personality, your style, etc. etc. [read more]
4) NYFW is probably moving. Again.
This isn't new news to anyone who's been paying attention, but hey, it's worth mentioning for those fashion stragglers who aren't in the "know". Or don't listen to all the gossip.
According to this site and this site, fashion week may be moving from their rather recent roost at the Lincoln Center, down to the Culture Shed at Hudson Yards, which should be fully operational by 2017. Remember when it was held at Bryant Park? Ahh, those were the days...
Well, hopefully, this will be their last move, since we don't want anyone tottering about it those sky-high heels on uneven pavement, lost + confused, and missing their big photo opportunity. The horror.
