Hyun Yi Lee closes

Hyun Yi Lee closed Krizia at Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2010/Winter 2010! This may not sound like a big deal, but having a minority close for a designer’s show is a big deal. Huge props to the South Korean supermodel for closing up the Milan show for Krizia!

Epic Fail: Minorities in NY Fashion Week

You know I got all excited seeing all these Asian and black models strutting their fine minority selves at New York Fashion Week. But then I hear that this season wasn’t anymore diverse than past seasons. Only 16% of slots went to models who were not white and over 60% of shows casted models that ...

NY Fashion Week: Eugenia Mandzhieva

Eugenia, Eugenia, Eugenia. Designer Custo Barcelona put you in the most amazing numbers and the outfit on the left-hand side makes me want to cry out of pure joy and excitement. 

Victoria Beckham’s line fits like a glove on Mandzhieva which basically means that us normal folks could never fit into her dresses. Her line’s got ...

New York Fashion Week: Hyoni rocks BJ & DKNY

I’m not a fan of Betsey Johnson’s at all. Her outfits and color patterns are way too crazy for my eyeballs to handle, but her Marilyn Monroe piece rocked my socks. I hate the fur trimmings around the sleeves and neck but Korean model Hyoni Kang made this number look amazing. Kang is gorgeous ...
