hip hair - backstage at fashion week 09 February 26, 2009

wish you could have a backstage pass to the designer shows at New York’s Fashion Week?

say no more… follow me backstage to see the freshest hairstyles as the models prepare to take to the catwalk. you will be amazed by the variety of styles, and yet - if you are good at deciphering trends and of course you are (you read this blog, after all!) - you’ll see that thread that holds it all together.

just don’t get lost and try to blend in…

top row:
Katie and new face Mathilde (Next NY) backstage at Jill Stuart
Caroline Ribeiro backstage at Michael Kors
Natasa V backstage at Alexander Wang

middle row:
Eugenia M backstage at Ports 1961
Anastasia from NY Models backstage at Jen Kao
Ms Stam backstage at Marc by Marc

bottom row:
Selina backstage at Philosophy
Tayane and Eugenia at 6119 Ilana Sunderland

so have fun unraveling the threads of trends in these styles and check back for the male models of fashion week!

where are our vintage finds??? our new ‘dos??? February 24, 2009

oh, they’re coming!

i want to send out a big “thank you” to all the readers who have checked in on me over the last two days to see if i’m alright, since Vintage Finds Monday hasn’t yet materialized. don’t worry - it’s on it’s way, but in the form of Vintage Finds Wednesday it seems. i’ve been up against a deadline for the Webby Awards for my other online project - the web-based video series “Dylan’s Couch,” which made the “short list” in the category of “Best Host - Reality/Variety Program.”   very exciting stuff, but it came with the challenge of creating a highlights reel that needed to go out in the mail today. so my blog has taken a bit of a back seat these last two days, but tomorrow it moves back into the driver’s seat.

thanks for your patience!

à demain,
julie

oscar winners list (in case you went to bed early, like me…) February 23, 2009

i love the oscars, but i had to get up early this morning, so i taped it and went to bed around 10:30.

for those of you who did, too, here’s the list of winners:

John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation: Mark Kimball

vintage finds monday will be up this afternoon, after i get through the barbarically early meetings (first one is at 7 AM!) that forced me to go to bed early in the midst of the Oscars!

à bientôt,
julie
