The inspiration for the Badgley Mischka Fall collection was right on par with their seemingly consistent Hollywood state of mind. Uber glam is the theme behind almost any Badgley Mischka creation, and this collection did not disappoint. On today’s runway we saw pieces from their contemporary Mark and James label debuting their unique [...]

Walking into the Marc Jacobs show tonight, a retailer remarked, “We have to come here in order to find out what we’ll be seeing next season.” His point: The lush colors and Lurex that have been everywhere this week were inspired by the ode to the 1970’s Jacobs delivered last time out.

One never knows quite what to expect from Betsey Johnson, but she clearly doesn’t care.
