The New ‘90210’ Commits the Ultimate Sin: Bad FashionWe hoped the promotional reel for the new ‘90210’ would do justice to our favorite teen soap opera. But the uninspiring montage was dull, predictable, and worst of all, unfashionable.
Fabiola Beracasa Talks Preen and Patent Leather With Cathy Horyn, Leigh Lezark, and Arden WohlLondon label Preen is showing at the New York tents for only the second time this season, but designers Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thornton have already attracted a savvy fan base that includes New York Times critic Cathy Horyn and downtown personality Leigh Lezark, who both talked to Fabiola Beracasa before the show. “They went from being very funky in the beginning, and now they’re much more put together,” Horyn explained, while Arden Wohl talked about her obsession with patent leather.

Where the Fug Is Anna Wintour?!Even though we’re only two days in, it just seems wrong somehow that we’ve seen more of socialites and Sophia Bush than we have of Anna Wintour.

Candace Bushnell Looks Fugging ExhaustedCynthia Rowley’s press kit listed an “Arden halo” as one of her models’ accessories, so we were surprised to see self-proclaimed reluctant socialite Arden Wohl in the front row of Rowley’s show wearing her signature headband up on her hair instead of resting on her forehead.

Catherine Malandrino: Where Fashion Fears to TreadWe found it deliciously evil that Catherine Malandrino scheduled her fall-winter 2007 at the Chelsea Art Museum to coincide with “Dangerous Beauty,” an exhibit that forces visitors to walk across a floor of bathroom scales. The very idea that a bunch of fashionistas, bundled up in an extra ten pounds of outerwear no less, might be required to traipse across a gigantic Floor of Judgment in order to see Malandrino’s show thoroughly tantalized us. The prospect had absolutely nothing to do with our decision to wear fewer layers today. Nothing at all.
