There were more celebrities in New York last night than people, well not quite but close. It was Vogue’s Fashion’s Night Out, and what would fashion be without a little dose of celebrities. Shops across the city opened their doors for a late night shopping spectacle. And of course a fair few of our favourite celebrities were on hand to take in the festivities.

Also appearing at Bergdorfs; Nicole Richie who wore a black lace dress from her own label Winter Kate. Sarah Jessica Parker popped in and made time for two outfit changes, an Oscar De La Renta dress from the resort collection, then a more casual ensemble of draped purple dress and shoes from her favourite shoemaker Nicholas Kirkwood.

FABULOUS FASHION HAPPENINGS: Chanel’s Boutique in Soho Re-Opens

The re-opening of the Chanel boutique in Soho, New York sounds like a recipe for a fashion frenzy right? Well kinda….Karl Lagerfeld was on hand to see his new store open with the usual array of celebrity friends. Unfortunately fashion sense seems to have forsaken these Chanel clad attendees.

Diane Kruger is very pally with Karl and frequently wears Chanel. For this occasion she chose a design from the arctic inspired fall collection, a ruffled dress with a corset thrown in for good measure. Liv Tyler made an appearance in a black trouser/top combination that could have been forgiven had it not been for the black and white brogues that belong at a bowling alley.

Blake Lively also attended, she was spotted front row at the fall couture show and wore a design from that show. Unfortunately it resembles a seventies disco outfit (and not in a cool Studio 54 way).
Stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe is the one of the few celeb attendee who actually manages to look ok in a chic monochrome ensemble. New York’s most famous resident Sarah Jessica Parker showed up for the event in an odd ensemble of a pink and black dress from the resort collection with a Chanel jacket thrown in for good measure (it’s Carrie Bradshaw we can forgive).

Best look of the night goes to Leighton Meester who kept it simple in a chic Chanel LBD jazzed up with a statement necklace. Fellow celebs should take note from Leighton’s look, less can sometimes mean more.

Britain’s own Alexa Chung made an appearance in a monochrome shift dress from the resort collection (a similar design has been worn by Blake Lively). Finally Rachel Bilson took on a cute tweed fringed look from the fall collection.

If you were in central London last night you may have noticed abit of a commotion, hordes of fashion loving, shoppers, celebrities, designers and models descended on the capital to celebrate Vogue’s Fashion’s Night Out.

Stores across the West-end and Knightsbridge opened their doors and lured shoppers in with the promise of free drink and other goodies. An abundance of celebrities walked the streets from Gwyneth Paltrow to Diana Vickers.

It was Emporio Armani that attracted the crowds where legendary designer Giorgio Armani hosted the evening. Thandie Newton stopped in, the actress was dressed in a stunning nude dress from the fall collection at Stella McCartney.

Also in attendance at the Armani party was model Natalia Vodianova who wore a mini dress by designer David Koma. Claudia Schiffer made an appearance in a dazzling astrological themed dress by Christoper Kane.

When Louis Vuitton opens a new flagship store in London’s Knightsbridge it goes without saying that the guestlist is going to be pretty spectacular. The new store boasts 3 floors, a bookshop, bag bar and an apartment for those very special shoppers.

The event not only created a great buzz around the new store but gave a fairly impressive show of Louis Vuitton’s fall collection. Creative director Marc Jacobs went out of his way to create a collection that fully appreciates the female form, full busts and curvy hips are de rigeur with these designs.

Who wore Louis Vuitton well and who failed to impress?

We loved Kirsten Dunst, Daisy Lowe and Alexa Chung showing off the fall collection fabulously.

We also loved Thandie Newton and Natalia Vodianova who chose looks from the colourful spring 2009 collection. Elle MacPherson also turned heads in her white mini-dress.

Unfortunately Gwyneth Paltrow and Gemma Arterton failed to impress in their Louis Vuitton gowns which were more drab then designer delight.

FABULOUS FASHION HAPPENINGS: Zac Posen for Target

Friday, 16 April, 2010

Zac Posen celebrates launch of the Zac Posen for Target collection New York CityZac Posen celebrates launch of the Zac Posen for Target collection New York CityZac Posen celebrates launch of the Zac Posen for Target collection New York City

Zac Posen is the American designer famous for his high end collection with an emphasis on dazzling evening dresses. In a great coup for fashion democracy he has lent his skills to American retailer Target and created a range of pieces all priced under $200 (think a Jimmy Choo for H & M type range).

Last night was the launch of the new collection in New York and it wouldn’t be acceptable for it to go ahead without a host of celebrity friends to celebrate with. And did they turn out for Mr Posen! We saw Maggie Gyllenhaal, Claire Danes, Ginnifer Goodwin, Mena Suvari, Michelle Trachtenberg and of course girl about town Olivia Palermo.

The only question is when Zac Posen will bring the line for fashionistas over the pond.

The hub moved onto the Southbank today, is in Notting Hill tomorrow and will be in Spitalfields on Sunday.

Daisy looked suitably stylish for the fashionista party in an Acne leather jacket over a L’Agence maxi dress all originating from where else but Harvey Nichols 4th floor!

The paparazzi went crazy with the arrival of a very beautiful Jaime Winstone. She posed happily for photographers before taking a spot on the picnic blankets. Jaime told Lady Glamourazzi she was wearing D & G shoes, a fabulous vintage hat with a Vivienne Westwood bag.

Finally the party really got underway when Samantha Ronson took to the decks. With the sun shining, the champagne flowing and great music, Harvey Nichols welcomed its 4th floor in spectacular style.
