Source: Google News - Entertainment | 15 Feb 2009 | 5:07 am Video: Backstage with Alexander Wang's Modern Carnivores Alexander Wang makes clothes for "modern day carnivores," according to the designer himself. "My girls like to go out, they want to have fun, they want to explore," Wang told Jada Yuan in this backstage video, and you can count Sarah Jessica Parker, Santogold, and Erin Wasson among those followers. Press play to see models dancing, Parker explain why she only goes to fashion shows once every five years, and Yuan's guess at the inspiration behind Wang's condom line.

Catherine Malandrino's American-flag dress was a big success just after September 11, when it was worn by Halle Berry, Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, and Madonna on tour, and it's working for her again in another hard time. Malandrino relaunched the pattern a few months ago, to commemorate Obama and her tenth anniversary, and "with the election it has been, like, our best hit!" the designer told us at the W Hotels Lounge. "It has been my lucky dress. Relaunching it proved to me that the dress has a long life and it will be iconic in my history." So forgive Malandrino for sending a model down the runway in another one of her American-flag dresses at today's Barbie show. For her, Barbie “was my first relationship with an American woman, growing up in the French Alps. You know, I thought Americans were very blonde, curvy, and big hair.” Now, every time she comes to L.A., she’s reminded of Barbie’s 50-year lifespan. “I see a lot of women on the street in L.A. looking like Barbie, at 50. They do their breasts, they do their lips, they do their cheeks. You do not know their age anymore. Sometimes they’re 60!” Read more posts by Jada Yuan Filed Under: barbie, catherine malandrino, fall 2009, new york fashion week, party lines Source: The Cut | 15 Feb 2009 | 3:53 am Future-perfect: NY Fashion Week goes space-age (AP)

Source: Yahoo! News: Entertainment News | 15 Feb 2009 | 2:39 am Even Jane Krakowski Isn’t Sure Whether 30 Rock’s McFlurry Was Product Placement Tina Fey may have informed Vulture that, despite appearances, there was no McFlurry product placement on this week's 30 Rock. But maybe it doesn't matter! Because, as Jane Krakowski, who plays Jenna Maroney on the show, told us Friday night at Paul Simon's Beacon Theatre concert, the McFlurry bit worked as product placement anyway. “My friends have called me about the McFlurry all day long,” she said. “They can’t get a McFlurry or Michael McDonald out of their head. They want to listen to Michael McDonald while having a McFlurry, and they’re not sure why.” Krakowski seemed lost in the confusing existential landscape of products the show has created. First, she told us firmly "We don’t have any money in McFlurry!" But then she quickly second-guessed herself. "I don't know. I'm not in on those meetings. Do you know?" Krakowski was, at least, sure that this wasn't like what the show had gone through with Snapple. "Because when we had the Snapple guy, there was actually a man from Snapple [on our set]," she said.

Watching Richard Chai’s luxe fall menswear collection on the runway on Saturday got the Cut thinking. Chai did a womenswear line for Target. Alexander McQueen is the latest big name to launch a Target line for women. Where’s the cheap and chic for men? Moore quickly picked newer menswear designers like Rogue’s Gallery, Robert Geller, Shipley & Halmos, and Yigal Azrouël as perfect for Target. “These guys I think are kind of at a point where they do have the name, they’ve established themselves, they’ve been around for a couple of years,” Moore said. “Maybe it’s time to tap them for a men’s collection,” he said thoughtfully. “It’s a good idea! Let’s do this.” Read more posts by Bennett Marcus Filed Under: fall 2009, jim moore, new york fashion week, party lines, richard chai, target Source: The Cut | 15 Feb 2009 | 2:08 am M.I.A. announces birth of baby boy on MySpace pageLOS ANGELES - Call her Mamma M.I.A.

Earlier this week, we brought you the puzzling news that Santogold had changed her name to Santigold, for reasons unclear. Some theorized that it was because her real name is Santi. Others said the more likely reason was that Santo Gold, the pro wrestler, had sued her. So when we saw Santi-or-Santo sitting next to Zoe Kravitz in the front row of Alexander Wang's Fashion Week show, we had to ask. Here was her response: "I don't think I'm answering that one. It's just too much. I just did, okay?" Let the speculation continue.

The mere sight of the line outside Alexander Wang's show stopped us dead. Despite our punctuality, it snaked three abreast down the street and around the corner. "I feel like I'm waiting for the Backstreet Boys to come out," groused a woman nearby. Now there's an idea for PR companies: Entertain the cold, cranky journalists with some choreography and close-harmony singing. By the time we got inside, it was mere minutes to showtime, leaving us little time to confirm whether singer Roisin Murphy looked as insane as usual. She did, however, sport some skintight, rubbery pants with teeny holes. Perfect for ventilation, or if she is trying to sprout something through them, but maybe not ideal for cold temperatures. Murphy sat near a semi-dishevelled Zoe Kravitz, who is in dire need of either a trim or a hot-oil treatment. (Possibly both.) Julia Restoin-Roitfeld clutched a nice, warming cocktail from the bar, and down the way sat Lauren Santo Domingo and model-former-Wang-muse Erin Wasson. Even in the dark, her outfit was impossible to miss: a ratty fur jacket and tie-dyed, ruffled bell-bottoms that swayed like hula dancers around her ankles as she danced backstage after the show. It was no surprise to see Anna Wintour in the front row, right near Diane Von Furstenberg, as both ladies have championed Wang. We were, however, considerably more shocked to see A-Dubs's bouncing bob enjoying an animated conversation with Sarah Jessica Parker. Ms. SJP has in the past expressed great weariness with the Fashion Week hullabaloo, so we got a kick out of seeing her front and center in a long Wangian vest and what appeared to be leggings, chatting with La Bobita as if the two were long-lost camp buddies reliving the glory days of short-sheeting the bunks and sneaking out to skinny-dip. Or maybe they were just giggling over the candied hearts and condoms Wang stuck in the gift bags. Happy VD, indeed.

Getting into the James Coviello show, which was held in a West Village townhouse, was like going on the flume ride at Disney World on a Saturday afternoon. We arrived and joined one of two lines growing down 9th Street. We checked in and were told to stand on the other line. After our hands turned numb, we made it inside the townhouse. And, just like Disney World, we encountered yet another thick line of We eventually made it to the clothes, which were difficult to see behind the crush, but seemed colorful and flirty. Through the hallway, at the end of yet another line, a tiny room offered more models in fall clothes. Cute waiters handed us Champagne as we passed through, the glasses depressingly filled by only a third. The models were hidden behind the pack — again — so we gulped down our Champagne and got back in line to exit. One of the benefits to staging presentations is that buyers and editors can pop in and out quickly. Coviello's, sadly, made that impossible. West Village townhouses are great for, oh, sitting around and counting money, but not for fashion shows.

Source: Yahoo! News: Entertainment News | 14 Feb 2009 | 11:37 pm Barbie’s Math Skills Tested in Bryant Park Remember in the early nineties when Mattel released a talking Barbie who whined that math class was tough? And there was a huge outrage and the phrase was pulled from the doll’s repertoire? Judging from the complete and total mayhem that ensued at the Barbie show this afternoon, it seems that, in fact, Barbie CAN’T count and that math IS hard for her. You’d think that it would be pretty easy to figure out how many seats are in the tent and then let in the corresponding amount of people. Instead, it appeared that almost everyone attending the show was allowed to bring their child, another guest, or some random they picked up off the street (the e-mail sent out to invited guests, in fact, suggested they bring “a neice [sic]”), which meant that the lobby at Bryant Park was packed to the gills with irritated people trying to get into the show and having absolutely no luck at all. It was like Heatherette, but with more screaming children. This did not put people in a forgiving mood toward Barbie. More than once, we heard a frustrated journalist huff, “It’s JUST BARBIE,” or express the opinion that they didn’t even know the point of the show. The children, on the other hand, generally looked terrified that they were going to be crushed. Even the usually unflappable Robbie Myers, with her daughter in tow, looked mildly concerned that the mêlée would turn ugly. Robbie, however, was safely ushered inside. As for the rest of us, at least a hundred were told that, if we had a seat, it had been “given away.” You’d think Barbie would be polite enough not to just start giving away other people’s things, but it seems that manners — like math — are not her strong suit.

Leading up to Fashion Week, our reporters asked the front-row denizens about their plans for Valentine’s Day and their thoughts on public displays of affection. After the jump, some loving words from Sean Lennon and Simon Doonan, as well as the worst Valentine’s Day story we’ve ever heard. Is there a place that PDA is not appropriate? What about the front row of a fashion show? How do you feel about public displays of affection in the front row? Do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day? Any Valentine’s Day horror stories?

The gray one-shoulder dresses, which look great on, were scarce, but we suspected many were with dressing-room keepers. So if you can't wait for your Target McQueen, go to the pop-up this weekend, bring a camera, and make friends. You can even return and exchange!
