Look at the peanut gallery in place for the Y-3 Fall 2009 show! From left-to-right: Lupe Fiasco, Kanye “Launcher of a Thousand Trends” West, Milla Jovovich, KimK and KimK’s man Reggie. They’re not pictured here, but to the right of Reggie is Ian Thorpe and borderline super model Veronica Webb. I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to be sitting among a crowd like this. Kanye and Kim are obviously at the top of their respective games these days, but I wonder if one or two of the other ones don’t sit there secretly being eaten away by imposter syndrome.

The Carters sharing a private laugh and just generally enjoying each other’s company at a charity event held in conjunction with the NBA All Star event. Looks like Bee took a minute to get her nails fixed, too, thank god!

Steal a look at the Carters’ footwear on the next page: Jay is wearing Adidas Shelltoes and the missus has on some sky-high flashy numbers and because I’m not a geek like my partner, Samia, I have no idea who they’re designed by. 

How would YOU describe this dress? 'Cause I can't even begin.

We’ve always been big boosters of Nina Sky, women who know how to rock fashionable, street-inspired looks as well as anyone. Plus, they’re keeping it going in an industry that chews up and spits out its young talent for blood sport. But this outfit that Mami on the left wore to an NBA All Star event this past weekend, I am left speechless. Is this what it’s come to??

Update: Samia let me know that this dress is from Oak’s Bond Age collection (no longer on the site), which included a bunch of designers who created all these bdsm-inspired clothes and accessories. This dress is by Vena Cava. I still don’t like it even know now I know it’s supposed to be all arty. It’s like a sleazy version of those fake tux tops that people used to wear forever ago. It just feels clownish to me. Plus, I find public displays of pubic hair–draw with a pencil or otherwise–to be kinda gross. Sorry, but I do. Worse yet,  I saw the back of the dress and the drawn-on butt looks all saggy, which is not okay. The Nina Sky woman wearing it probably has a perkier butt!

If you’re the rubber-necking type, there’s one more after the jump.

On our visit to capsule a few months ago, Miss Lizz  and I  both fell for Salvor Projects  line of simply cool  graphic apparel and  accessories. The star tough, was the Robot scarf, (above ) that  would  secretly allow me to show love for my fave robot ever, Optimus Prime (don’t ask).  A Closer look on the next page.

Don’t forget to make repeated visits this week to the Jak&Jill blog, where photographer Tommy Ton will be slaying us repeatedly with his excellent candids of NY Fashion Week show attendees. The above image was ripped from a post  filled with shoes that are sick, sick, SICK! You have to see the rest. Seriously, your heart will be aching.

Here’s a look at a few pieces from Netherlands based  On Tour’s  Spring/ Summer ‘09 Now available online.

The plaid jackets are FIRE!

Diane is my hero. I realize that’s not a very original thought, but I just wanted to get that out there since I thought her collection was just okay and I love her too much to just flat out diss her and leave it at that. Colors and all that were hot (though that’s like saying it’s warm in the summer because her pallettes never seem to miss), but the best part of the collection were the pants (I want those one in the far right photo above with a sickness!!), but I feel let down ’cause Diane is the one I look for to bring it with dresses. And the dresses were just too boxy and not hot. As a French friend used to say to me with a French accent, “Not sexy….like a dog’s breast.” Oh well, times are tough, not every designer was born to shine when it’s all batton-the-hatches and nose-to-the-grindstone-y.

We asked readers last week to send in images of themselves in a pair of Chucks to win a free pair from the Converse Rock ‘n’ Roll series (available at Journeys). We had a very tough time deciding between the final two, but we had to give it to Kimberly, who had the moxie/style to pair pearls and a formal dress with customized Chucks (with a call out to our very own Brooklyn no less)! Congrats Kimberly–you rock!

The latest from the Adidas consortium collection for women,The ZX 7020 one of my favorite silhouettes . I really like the simple choice of colors!
