New York Magazine’s Guide To Fashion
To be honest, I am not really the best authority on fashion week. I once dated a guy who’s mother was allegedly a designer and he was going to take me to the event, some three years ago. But he didn’t make the cut, and I never got to go. Now I am watching from the west coast, mostly just looking at New York Magazine and various other online media to find out what is going on.
Before this week, I had never realized the volume and usability of information provided by New York Magazine, regarding fashion. You can find out what is going on by show, model, style, color, print, designer, or get a more zeitgeisty picture of things by checking out the blog or the lookbook. The Lookbook, different from the fat industry print publication, is a daily picture of someone ‘fashionable’ and some quotes from them as well. Here is today’s: http://nymag.com/fashion/lookbook/43556/
Also, quite educational, is the model page - a profile on today’s fashion models telling us what they are known for, who they work with and even who their friends are. Be sure to check out their “Models who Eat” feature - three models, so far, are noted.

The models who eat feature is kinda interesting, yet they still look anorexic. What I don’t understand is that Hollywood’s top hotties are NOT size -4, they’re a healthy 2-6. Eg. Elisha Cuthbert, all the Playboy models (ignoring their boobs), Hayden Pannetierre, the hottie from Lost… and hotties on the street are the same.
So my point is, why are fashion designers obsessed with skinny, or is it a consequence of needing tall models?
