Known for his flair for the dramatic, Dalmau drew from a bejeweled tribal aesthetic at his show, aptly titled "The Beauty and the Beast." Inspired by feminine and bionic concepts that brought out "The Beauty" and voluminous materials that catered to Nordic winters to unleash "The Beast," the designer impressed us with what we like to call very "Aztec chic" designs. Rawrr.

As the show was running late and the traditional Korean music "gukak" was soothing me into Ambien mode, I was jolted by three fierce and pungently perfumed musketeers flanking my left side. The photogs went ballistic at their presence and publicists kowtowed to their every gesture...all the while, everyone else in the audience, including myself, was like: "Who the hell are these cats?"
At first glance, I thought the chick with the neon orange hair ensconced in Gaga-esque shades was Gwen Stefani and that sandwiched in between her was Vanessa Paradis and a chunkier version of Miss Lawrence from the Real Housewives of Atlanta...but alas, I found out their real identities after the show.More »
Every once in a while (okay, maybe more than that), something really annoys us. Often, it's on the subway, because, let's face it, that's where a lot of annoying shit goes down. We're not talking about blaring headphone seepage or full-body-against-pole offenses -- at least those assholes are oblivious. We're talking about the teenage/early twentysomethings who walk onto the train and treat their cell phones like an '80s boom box, openly blasting their ditties for the rest of our ears to bleed. 
If only the public humiliation had ended with that Fire Crotch moniker, dear LiLo's troubles would've been so yesteryear. But now that the synthetically swollen-lipped Mean Girl is being sentenced to 90 days in the slammer for probation violation, we're actually chortling like the Pillsbury Dough Boy (along with Avril Lavigne and that waitress who punched her last week on her 24th birthday). Why? Because Lindsay has been stagnant in a slimy larva stage for way too long while the world waits for her to become a full-fledged butterfly and escape her own Vortex of Suck.

Forget sleek and sexy and bring out your best Punky Brewster look: It's back to being a kid again, as noted in this week's installment of Project Runway. The challenge: Make kids clothes that are fashionable and age appropriate. Yay, the workroom turns into a romper room!

As Heidi ushers the choo-choo train of munchkin models onto the catwalk, the designers realize they'll have to squeeze their big ambitions into pint-size duds. Of course, there were mixed reactions. Seth Aaron is rocked out over the idea, especially since he's baby daddy to a tween daughter. However, Jonathan is less than amused. "I am scared of children. I don't surround myself with children, I don't have any children...and they are very small," he says with a frozen look on his face. Even southern belle Anthony is finding it difficult to come up with a crumb-snatching design, as he's used to creating looks for ladies with junk in places where it counts: "Honey, these girls have got no booties and no breasts, so I'm not exactly sure how this is going to work."

Fashion Week ended with a fairytale happy ending, thanks in part to Isaac Mizrahi's "Central Park Story Book" fall collection. So what's it like getting a fifteen-minute peek into the mind of the fashion-forward fairy godfather? Think: the Upper East Side on ecstasy. Elevated bag ladies, fanciful fairies, haute game and wildlife, and samurai warrior princesses floated within a bling'd-out urbanosphere.

For Mizrahi, this year's fall femme fatale is soft, relaxed, and feminine with a finesse of understated badass--the badass part being especially attributed to his "Society Samurai" chapter, which was inspired by the Met's Japanese Armour Show.
