faith-hill-415

Singer Faith Hill has set her eyes on the world of fashion.

The country diva was reportedly inspired by her stint as a guest judge on Project Runway.

Faith’s line is intended to cater to busy working mom’s like her.

“I would design for the women I know and their kids, busy moms with great style.”

Lady Gaga leads Grammys’ galactic fashion parade

Photos: 2010 Grammy Awards

All eyes on the red carpet at Sunday’s Grammy Awards went straight to Lady Gaga and her solar-system gown that was totally out of this world.

Lady Gaga has become fashion’s favorite chameleon and she didn’t disappoint with this shiny, silvery, three-dimensional number that was created in collaboration with Giorgio Armani. She then opened the show in a green fairy-wing bodysuit – with matching green sparkle booties, of course.

“I am honored to be wearing Armani this evening. The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic; they represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist,” she said in a statement. Read the full story

Project Runway finale — limping to the finish line


Michael is asking if they can declare a draw. I hear ya' brotha.

Michael is asking if they can declare a draw. I hear ya' brotha.

Let’s make this quick: It’s over. Project Runway Season Six limped to the finish line with a win for nominal villiainess Irina Shabayeva, but really, is an eye-rolling, shoulder-shrugging Georgian mean girl that much of a villain? Read the full story

‘Project Runway’ week 12 — A day at the museum


Have you ever been deliriously excited when you’re almost at the end of an interminable task? The preparation for your SATs? That huge pile of laundry? Moving cross-country? Painting the Sistine Chapel?

Okay, maybe not that last one, but you know what I mean. That’s how I feel this week. The agony that is Project Runway season 6 is almost at an end, and I can feel it, almost like I’m Dorothy and I’ve clicked my heels three times. I want to go home, which in this case is New York City, where in my dreams season 7 is better and Michel and Nina never leave.

Which, according to press reports, they won’t. So we have that going for us, which is nice.

As for this week’s show, I have a confession. Thanks to my penchant for peeking, I saw the final collections months ago, so I figured out who our final three were weeks ago. This week’s shocking double elimination wasn’t so much shocking as expected.

‘Project Runway’ week 11 – the night the silver pants failed


Logan, wave goodbye. We’ll still see your silver pants from a thousand miles away.

Sorry, I get ahead of myself, but this episode was another in this season’s long line of “Make a pretty ensemble/dress, designers!” My eyes, they glaze over. What ever happened to “Here’s some Tupperware. Design a garment!”

She smiles in your face, all the time she wants to take your place — the back stabber!

Last night’s challenge even went so far as to bastardize from this season: Make a companion piece to your best (i.e. winning) design from this season. Oops, sorry, Logan. We’ll just pick out your prettiest gown, since you were never a winner.

And since the theme of this season seems to be black/white/turd brown, we were once again left with no color on the runway. Or at least, no vibrant colors.

‘Project Runway’ week 10 — The nine lives of Christopher


You know how Tim Gunn is always saying, “This has great potential”?

That’s how I feel about this season. It had great potential but squandered it weeks ago, and even finally having Michael Kors and Nina Garcia back where they belong (at judging panel) can’t make me care much about the outcome of this sad season.

Reunited, and it feels so...Sorry, I fell asleep.

Reunited, and it feels so...Sorry, I fell asleep.

About the only thing I noticed last night was Althea’s tragic root growth. Garnier is a sponsor. Give the poor girl a box of hair color and let her do a touch up, for the love of Pete Campell!

Sigh. On with the show. Read the full story

Project Runway week 9 — What a girl wants…


Which blonde abused self-tanner more? You be the judge, it's your armchair challenge this week, since Michael Kors is M.I.A.

Which blonde abused self-tanner more? You be the judge, it's your armchair challenge this week, since Michael Kors is M.I.A.

Is lots of feathers, sequins and more feathers. In black or white, preferably. Because if you’re in a stage show, and you’re Christina Aguilera, you need to be seen by the 92nd row, and only black and white will do. Feathered black and white.

Oy! I’m feeling dirrrty.

This week’s challenge featured not one, but two so-called fashion icons. The first was Mr. Bob Mackie, the Sultan of Sequins, and yes, he’s looking a little…plastique, but listen, if you grew up in the ’70s like I did, you can’t help but have grown up on a heaping pile of the man’s creations for Carol Burnett, Diana Ross, and of course, Cher. Now would have been the week to pull out the “Half-Breed” tribute, Shirin. Who among us doesn’t remember Cher at the Oscars, thumbing her nose in this little number? Read the full story

‘Project Runway’ week 8 — Divorce, PR style


Last night’s show. Oh, last night’s show. It makes me happy, and yet, it makes me so, so sad. And angry.

This biased, out-of-nowhere judging must stop! These substitute judges must return from whence they came! I need a drink. Is Oktoberfest still going on? Heidi seems to think so. But I get ahead of myself.

Our usual models are eighty-sixed in favor of several ladies in varying styles of wedding gowns. But these are not blushing brides. They are all divorcées, and their dresses must be remade to represent their new lives. Sort of like the Trash the Dress trend, only without mud and paint. But dye is allowed. Read the full story

‘Project Runway’ week 7 – Blue Thursday


First, the good news: Our beloved gentleman of the bon mot, Michael Kors, is back and a bewitching shade of persimmon. Laws, he has been missed!

Praise the tanning bed, Michael Kors is back, albeit with a bevy of blondes.

Praise the tanning bed, Michael Kors is back, albeit with a bevy of blondes.

And now, the bad news: The designs produced this week weren’t fit for the bargain basement sale at Loehmann’s. Sorry, designers. Better step it up.

This week’s challenge was yet more product placement nirvana for Macy’s and the I.N.C. clothing line— make two looks that were cohesive and fit the brand. Oh, and make them both in shades of blue.

Now, blue is my second favorite color, after pink. And there are so many different blues you can work with. But the designers, working in teams this week, picked the saddest combos, and perhaps the shiniest, in some cases. Is L.A. Mood running another special on discontinued fabrics? Read the full story
