So maybe because it's Thursday, I'm going through Idol withdrawal. I mean, is 2 nights a week really enough??? Ok, Ok, it probably is, but for the 3rd night in a week, the superstar-making-machine is on my mind. Or at least, their wardrobe is. The notion that American Idol contestants need some help in the styling dept. is nothing new. And I'm certainly not the first person in the world 2 point this out (2 fashionistas I happen to know actually wrote a letter to the producers, pleading to let them help style the contestants.) I mean, it IS supposed to be about the singing, but how many people would you buy albums from that had a fashion sense that made your stomach turn? (Paris Hilton's album sales should more than make my point for me.) Recent Britney appearances aside, Spears' famous schoolgirl-gone-bad outfit helped mark her place in pop superstardom. And Gwen Stefani is as famous for fashion as she is for her singing.
So let's explore why American Idol seemingly doesn't put any emphasis at all on what its contestants are wearing. I get it, they want them to have their own personal style. But Ramiele's high waisted shorts/off-the shoulder top outfit last night made her teeny tiny frame look even SHORTER by cutting her off in the middle. NOT flattering, honey. And Irish-born Carly Smithson actually BLAMED her poor performance on a pair of Spanx. Who in the world would encourage a singer to don a pair of tighter than tight bike shorts that actually RESTRICT breathing?? I can't imagine singing from the diaphram when you're wrapped up like sausage in a casing. That brings me to my next point - it was important for her to look THIN, but not necessarily STYLISH. That's more evident in our culture than ever these days. Most of the celebs I encounter are so thin, they almost look like bobbleheads because their bodies are so tiny their heads look abnormally large. Soon we'll be watching Eating Disorder Idol instead. But that's a whole other blog entry. Back to my original point. Let's face it - American Idol is NOT entirely about the singing. It's about the total "pop package." Good voice, good looks and overall popularity. We don't need to discover the next singer-turned-fashion-icon like Gwen Stefani but at least these kids can wear some duds they won't look back on in 20 years and regret. Or in the very least, someone can tell them that what they are wearing isn't flattering to them on-camera. Season after season, I wonder why NO ONE cares to even tell them. Considering that these kids are the reasons why millions of viewers tune in each week (and in turn, the show makes more money than an entire Miley Cyrus concert tour.) Once they get out into the real world and figure it out, suddenly they're so coiffed and groomed and styled, they're barely reminiscent of their idol selves. And THAT'S a good thing :-)

NY FALL/WINTER FASHION WEEK
Ellen Pompeo of Grey's Anatomy revealed to me her "dirty little" secret to looking refreshed on the red carpet (hint: it involves some privacy in the back of the limo, ah, to be a newlywed again.) Ana Ortiz of Ugly Betty assured me that celebrities really DO like being harassed (aka interviewed) and not to "let anyone tell me any different." Tim Gunn revealed he does his OWN hair and makeup for his 2 Bravo shows and Angie Harmon (sans hubby Jason Sehorn) was fashion-show hopping and having a ball. Just another successful NY fashion week under the tents @ Bryant Park. I was managing 2 camera crews while at the same time, managing my outfits (hey, gotta look good) and making sure not to miss anything.
But besides interviewing and hob-nobbing with celebs like Brooke Shields, Eva Longoria-Parker, Sigourney Weaver, Tyson Beckford, Debra Messing, Ellen Pompeo, Angie Harmon, Raquel Welch, Kat Deluna, Salt N' Peppa, Sophia Bush, Russell Simmons, Nicky Hilton, Nikki Taylor, Nigel Barker, Nina Skye, Julia Stiles, Molly Sims, Rose McGowan, Ellen Barken, Miss USA, Damien Fahey, Joan Jett, Cheap Trick, Chase Crawford, Gary Dourdin, Aisha Tyler, Eric Dane and Lance Armstrong (plus sightings of Tom and Katie, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale and Billy Joel and wife Alexa at an event for Unicef,) there were clothes too - amazing ones at that!
The week started out with a bang - or should I say a "roar," with the ribbon cutting featuring Brooke Shields and the stars of the new soon to be hit show Lipstick Jungle. I was one of just a few reporters who actually got to interview the trio of beautiful stars.
As for what I saw on the catwalks.. the famous Herve Leger bandage dresses, which have seen a resurgance on the red carpets lately, were the highlight at the Herve Leger for Max Azria show. Tory Burch time-traveled to the 60's...with prints that would make mod proud...and she - gasp - mixed them - and mixed them well at that! Plenty of purples and greys were common for all the designers...and an array of fabrics and even feathers and fur. Carlos Miele showed stunning silver fox coats that would make the socialites proud. Everyone else used a little fur here and there just to remind us all it's fall - even though mid-way through the week, temps soared to 60 degrees (in February in New York City!)
That reminds me... global warming became a topic of conversation (and my interviews) and how it's playing a part in fashion and the new theme of "seasonless dressing" Ken Downing (Neiman Marcus Senior VP) as well as designer Isaac Mizrahi told me we were transitioning into last fall and winter.
And what can you keep in your wardrobe rotation from THIS fall and winter? tights, trenches, and dresses, dresses, dresses!
I can’t forget to mention that I was photographed by the paparazzi! Saturday night, I hit the tents in my By Malene Birger black catsuit from mywardrobe.com and Chanel pumps (Yes, my lucky ones) and while sitting front row at Akiko Ogawa with my friend Mary, were photographed by 4 photographers. On Friday, the final day, we were photographed for Vogue China (at least I think that's what he said) while a crowd gathered wondering if we were anyone famous.
More to come...as I still have one more day to go in the trenches. I'm starving, over-worked, exhausted and my feet are killing me... but I wouldn't have it any other way.
If you want to hear more about the FASHIONS at fashion week, I'll be doing a round-up of some of the week's highlights using the footage we've shot at Michael Kors, Tory Burch John Varvatos and more... and the top fall/winter trends forecast (yes, for NEXT fall and winter,) on Fox 23 News Daybreak at 7:40 AM on Friday 2/29.

Campaign Couture: WAG had it first....
With the candidates for president stumping like crazy in last-ditch efforts to win voters over for their party's nomination, Hillary Clinton's wardrobe has once again become the hot topic of conversation. Cynthia Nellis of About.com posted an item on her blog today about an editor's letter from Anna Wintour of Vogue reportedly to Hillary... apparently miffed that Hillary declined to pose for the magazine. In the letter, Anna gives fashion advice to the first lady-turned-presidential hopeful. I worked on such a story for The Wag that was over a year in the making and finally published this past September. Since convo on this topic is renewed, I'm pasting that article below. I also had a sketch from top fashion designer Carmen Marc Valvo, in what HE thought Hillary should be wearing.
Title: Hillary Gets All Dolled Up
Deck: WAG asks local taste makers to dress the first Madame President
By: Jené Luciani
There are many titles you’ll see next to Chappaqua resident Hillary Rodham Clinton’s name: Senator, Former First Lady, Wife, Mother, and now, Democratic Presidential Contender but ‘fashion icon’ isn’t one of them - yet. For more than 20 years, we have looked on as Hillary’s fashion sense has evolved (and it certainly has – case in point, those headbands that she wore in the early days of the Clinton Administration) to parallel her growing political prominence. She has been leading her rivals in fundraising (interestingly, some of her largest campaign contributors are fashion industry power players including designers Diane Von Furstenberg and Vera Wang, as well as Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour, according to Women’s Wear Daily) but can she lead in fashion as well? And as people who take the senator and her candidacy very seriously, should we be ashamed of ourselves for even asking?
Yes and no. Like it or not, Hillary’s fashion choices matter—even in omission. Celebrity stylist and fashion guru, Lloyd Boston, author of Before You Put That On (Atria, 2005), says the candidate must walk a fine line between looking good and seeming to care too much about looking good. Paradoxically, she must be camera-ready at all times, yet appear largely disinterested in the frivolities of fashion. With all eyes on her, Boston says, the Senator’s on the right track. “Her style choices are nothing to write home about, which is exactly the point. She knows the power of restraint so that the focus is on her mind – not on her chest.” The stylist says that in general, there aren’t many female politicians who wow in the wardrobe department, but that’s a good thing. “This strategy is smart,” says Boston. “Too much style may detract from substance.” Tellingly, Sr. Vice President and Fashion Director of Neiman Marcus, Ken Downing points out that “Jackie O is really the only one who brought fashion sense into the political arena.”
So yes, we know Hillary’s fashion choices are made with an eye towards how they’ll be perceived by her many critics. We know Hillary likely has a team of her own professional stylists and image consultants working to make sure she’s Presidential- perfect (but not too perfect) at all times. But we’re under no such constraints so we asked our local trend setters to have a little fun by dressing Hillary for various state occasions—if only in effigy. Could she become the next style icon as well as the next president? On our pages, she’s already a winner!
Occasion: Signing that Universal Healthcare Bill
Trendsetter: Neiman Marcus Sr. Vice President and Fashion Director, Ken Downing. “Charcoals and pearl gray suits will work great for her, punctuated with great looking underpinnings in jewel tones like peacock blue, teal, magenta and pinks. Effortless American style – that’s very appropriate for Hillary.”
Outfit: Charcoal Wool Skirt by Akris, $895, Suede & Leather jacket by Akris, $3,990, Magenta Shell by Theory, $90, Tights by Spanx, Shoes by Christian Lacroix, all at Neiman Marcus, The Westchester.
Occasion: Charity Luncheon
Trendsetter: Marcie Kesten, Co-owner of Briarcliff boutique Contact. “We chose this look for her to go to a charity luncheon because it looks corporate and suited, but yet a little bit sexy. Instead of being stuffy and conservative, it just gives her a drop of femininity. Also the linen fabric lightens her up and is a little more day-ish.”
Outfit: Level 99 linen pants $100, and linen blazer $125, Acrobat tank $60, Hobo Belt $50 and bag $98, Jewelry by Mineral Madness, earrings $20 and necklace $150, all at Contact, Briarcliff.
Occasion: The Inaugural Ball
Trendsetter: Scott and Laurie Bandremer, owners of A Woman’s Place in New City. “Hillary emits confidence, with a true sense of feminine empowerment that serves her well in the male-dominated political realm. Likewise, this gorgeous dress from the creative minds of Fran and Loretta of Skinz is all about a quiet confidence; it is well suited for someone who knows who she is and where she is going. Perfect for Hillary!"
Outfit: Gown from Skinz, $2,900, at A Woman’s Place, New City.
Occasion: White House-worthy Hair
Trendsetter: Omar Roth, Stylist and Owner of Salon O in Greenwich, who has worked with former First Lady Nancy Reagan, as well as Westchester Congresswoman Nita Lowey: “I would keep Hillary’s hairstyle short because it suits her, however, changing to a cut with sharper and stronger angles will be much more flattering. I would like to take her color from the more conservative “first lady blonde” to a richer color that will enhance her features. A true copper, with strategically placed honey amber highlights, would definitely be my choice of color. It takes a strong, confident woman to carry red hair, and softening it with highlights will keep her image strong yet approachable.”

Site-seeing across the pond!
Just wanted to share a secret: I found this GREAT website based in London called www.mywardrobe.com. They have hot up and coming designers like Malene Birger. They are outfitting me in a fabulous Antik jumpsuit for Fashion Week next week which is sure to get me photographed (my ultimate goal lol.) This site is worth a daily check because they put new items up every day and many are samples so they only have ONE!

"Celebrity Judge"
I was privileged enough to be chosen as a celebrity judge for Lord & Taylor in Stamford’s first-ever Project Runway-esque design contest called “Fashion in the Bag.” Students from New Rochelle and Connecticut were asked to create garments using the department store’s iconic shopping bags. Other judges included television personality and CT native James Aguiar; New Canaan resident and former Tommy Hilfiger executive Larry Stemerman and Mt. Kisco fashion designer Nova Lorraine. We were all amazed at what the students came up with, including dresses, bathing suits and more! We especially loved the winning design out of Bullard Havens Technical High School in Bridgeport called “Classy Taxi.”
Fashion Ramblings
I haven't blogged in a while so right now I'm like a geiser that's about to begin spouting... LOL. Especially since I just finished writing my spring fashion pieces and I'm looking forward to all the fun colors we'll be seeing next season, AND I'm gearing up for Fashion Week in NYC which is just a few weeks away (I'll be backstage, out on the floor and all over the place!!)
Today, I wanted to share news of a reasonably priced line that I am LOVING and borderline obsessed with. It's called By Marlene Birger. I don't know who Marlene is but... she rocks. :)
And soon to be famous fashion designer Ali Hilfiger is following in her famous dad's footsteps and launching her own line with Sean Lennon! I'm working on getting an interview with the fashion heiress herself so stay tuned for that!
Also as we know, everything in fashion is cyclical and I began to ponder this more than ever today as I found myself shopping for a pair of Chuck Taylor Converse on Zappos.com. I had it in my head that I just HAD to have a pair in red...and maybe yellow...and green too. They are under $50 bucks each, totally uni-sex and look so casual-cool and go with everything. They are a perfect way to incorporate the upcoming season's crazy colors into our everyday wardrobe! But back to the cyclical thing - I remember BEGGING my Mom for a pair of these sneaks in 5th grade. Sigh, if only I had saved them. I'm pretty sure I'm still the same shoe size. :)
What else am I thinking about... oh yah, EVERYONE needs an Ikat scarf. I just bought 2 myself yesterday.
