Thakoon Panichgul's advice to the winners of the 2009 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, "“Use the money wisely; it goes really quickly! And don’t spend it on an after-party!”
Another model marries another millionaire. This time it's Snejana Onopka.

Another reason why we love Nick Knight's SHOWstudio: Gareth Pugh will be streamed live for three days while working on designs to be sold in Knight's shop.
Gareth Pugh's Fall 2009 range was shown in video format but a few people got the proper showroom treatment complete with runway simulation and everything. After all, no matter how praised is the video, a sober look at the clothes is requisite. Pugh worked with that jarring pin motif, which we first saw in his men's show, and also experimented with geometric shapes on varying scales. One morsel of wisdom you can take away from this collection: thigh high boots are a sure thing.
He showed his presentation as a video, I was skeptical but blown away, literally. Some people grumbled that there were no clothes to feel the texture of. I'll leave that to the fashion purists. This was really the first time I've seen a designer use video to really great effect. To show the movement and sculptural possibilities of his clothing.
Those who flew to Paris on the first day of the Women's Ready to Wear shows, in order to catch Gareth Pugh, must have been surprised to learn that the Fall 2009 collection would be shown as a video--and not even an exclusive one. At 11am New York time (5pm Paris time) Pugh's Fall 2009 range debuted live on SHOWstudio.com. Avant garde as Pugh might be, he still managed to touch on some of Fall's major trends including thigh-high boots and colored metallics. Click on the link above to see for yourself.
You've seen the trend galleries and the presence of them on the e-commerce sites, it stands to be seen that leggings are not going anywhere anytime soon. On the bright side, gone are the tunics that gave them such a bad reputation in the first place--at least on the runway. Now leggings, economical for both fashion designers and their loyal customers, have gone luxe. From Gareth Pugh to Rag & Bone (left) it seems leggings are now just another form of trouser and, given how comfortable women have become with showing off their waistline and hips--they're still a top choice among fashionistas of all walks of life. Could women, that said, be ready for the next level? Yesterday we noticed a pant-less trend on the Spring 09 catwalks, and, in today's Topshop Hoiday spread, a sequin pair of knickers made us think it an actual possibility. For now, let's just say we're happy fashion has made a truce with leggings. After all, how else would we show off all of those fabulous ankle boots?
