Daddy Time!

Mario Lopez is about to be a daddy! The Save By The Bell star-turned Extra host is expecting baby #1 this fall with his girlfriend Courtney Mazza and he couldn’t be more thrilled about the happy news. “I’m really excited. I’m happy. I can’t wait to be a dad,” Lopez says. The 36-year old and Courtney, 28, met in 2008 while starring in Broadway’s A Chorus Line together and have been dating since. Mario was living with Dancing With The Stars’ Karina Smirnoff before getting together with Courtney. And now, he’s ready for diaper duty! “I grew up in a large family. I’m fired up! I don’t know what we’re having. I’m going to wait to see [the baby's gender] so it will be a
surprise.”

Bee-Shyuan Chang — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:18:34 +0000

Miu Miu has always been Prada’s fun-loving little sister, but in a smart departure from some of the frillier collections of the past, Miuccia Prada toned down the designs this season. The result? Several black numbers that still managed to look insouciant with a bit of swing below the waist.

Naomi Watts Hosts Liberty of London for Target Shopping Preview

Bee-Shyuan Chang — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:48:35 +0000

As with every launch, some just get a first crack at the goods. But we’ll excuse the mad-dash scramble for the Liberty of London for Target floral numbers this morning at the VIP preview. The sun is out, the mood is fine and you have Naomi Watts for a shopping host. We’d say that’s quite the trifecta.

The Liberty of London for Target Pop-Up will be open to the public 3/10-3/13
Wednesday, March 10 from 11am to 8pm
Thursday, March 11 – Saturday, March 13 from 9am to 8pm daily

Louis Vuitton Ladies for Fall 2010

Staff — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:21:47 +0000

For fall 2010, Marc Jacobs took Louis Vuitton for a full-skirted ladylike jaunt around the fountain (literally). The materials were rich and beautiful, but many of the hemlines were at that intimidatingly awkward half calf level. Perhaps that’ll translate better once its tweaked for the commercial racks, but in the meantime we’re plenty satisfied with gorgeous evening closers especially well-fitted in taupe on Rosie Huntington-Whitely.

Isabel Marant fall 2010 collection

Staff — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:14:41 +0000

Isabel Marant’s designs aren’t the type to necessarily wow you with their fantastical qualities, but that’s exactly the point. Marant is a woman of details and includes having her pulse on just exactly what tweaks to throw on denim or colorplay. Check out her fall 2010 runway video here.

VALENTINO FALL 2010 COLLECTION

It’s tough to follow up the delicate, detail-oriented genius of Valentino, but after a couple rough season, designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli seem to have settled in a bit at the helm. The duo’s designs aren’t exactly reinventing the wheel here, there was plenty of Valentino ruffle and famous red, but the fall 2010 collection was undeniably beautiful to look at with plenty of red carpet stunners to keep the starlets coming.

Chloé Goes Clean for Fall 2010

Staff — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:42:11 +0000

Chloé has been a go-to for girls who love that breezy blouse plus jeans 70s vibe ever since Phoebe Philo took the reins. So it was refreshing to see current designer Hannah MacGibbon take a direction of her own. For fall 2010, the silhouette was sleek and tailored and the neutral palette, though sometimes seemed more of the same did offer up several classics worth investing in.

Sad, Sad, Sad

Another Hollywood star has passed away. Now, its teen heartthrob Corey Haim one half of the Two Coreys duo with Corey Feldman who captured the hearts of America with his quirky roles and good looks. Corey was found unresponsive at an apartment in LA early Wednesday morning and was rushed to nearby Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. The troubled actor, 38, had a long history of substance abuse problems and bottles of prescription pills were found in his home, although no illicit drugs were found. Corey was best known for his roles in the 80’s hits The Lost Boys, Lucas and License To Drive and he had appeared on the reality show The Two Coreys with his one-time partner in crime Feldman from 2007 til 2008.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s World Quest for Fall 2010

Staff — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:55:48 +0000

Jean Paul Gaultier is no stranger to globe-trotter fashion. But rather than say the clean, packable jet-set basics, Gaultier’s design variety is of the kind inspired by Morocco, China and other exotic locales. For fall 2010, there were some beautiful embroidery and print details mixed in with some more local houndstooth. Take a look at the Paris Fashion Week runway video.

VIKTOR & ROLF’S SARTORIAL FANTASY

Staff — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:59:11 +0000

We admire design duo Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren for their talent, of course, but more so for their unabashed joy for fashion. Each season there is something spectacular and fascinating and for fall 2010 there was similarly the “wow” feel in hugely oversized coats and skirts with layers of gravity-defying peplums. Just to keep those more commercially-inclined happy, there were plenty of very wearable pieces as well, which were mostly in black for that easy sell.
