THAT JE NE SAIS QUOI
The next stop on our fashion design school travels take us to ESMOD, in the land of the eternally chic (Paris of course!).
Stars, stripes, alphabet soup and more bring in this week’s Statement Prints collection and Styled Outfits with a thunderous roar. Full of fall essentials in loud but memorable patterns, you’ll be sure to make an impression from class to the fashion week stomping grounds of the Jardin des Tuileries. A bit of rock, a bit of M.I.A., and a jumble of references including galactic phenomena compose the bulk of the looks—giving you the best of the season in all its printed glory.
Be sure not to miss the collection’s crown jewels—a teal chiffon dress in Big Bang of star-studded print matter and fiery fall coat—the stuff of lecture legend!
Amber.Stardoll- The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has taken over New York, and everywhere you look there are gorgeously dressed models and celebrities. Here are some looks that caught our eye this week! Which one is your favorite?

You could hear the collective gasp at the start of Jill Stuart’s show. No, it wasn’t the fact that a Ramones-centric playlist was soundtracking the designer’s ultra-feminine, bedtime-tropical dresses, but rather, that just about every shoe stomping down the runway was a winner. There were black patent sandals with gold glitter platforms (think of them as the warm weather version of this season’s Miu Miu), brown snakeskin strappy shoes with a neon pink band around the very base of the heel, and a pair of lip-accented Mary Janes among the line-up. The front row—Jamie King, Whitney Port, Cory Kennedy, and Harley Viera-Newton—looked like it was in the midst of a game of Telephone, with attendees mouthing, “I love these shoes,” to one another. As people filed out at the end of the shoe, “Oh-my-god-those-shoes!” became the constant refrain. But Scream 4 actress Emma Roberts, an avowed Jill Stuart fan, admitted that there was another shoe she would be lusting after while waiting for the spring ’12 designs to hit stores: “Isabel Marant boots,” she said. That’s not the only item on her fall ’11 must-have list: “There’s also an army green Proenza Schouler bag that I’m dying for!”

- We don't really get what Katie Holmes' deal is. Sometimes she completely nails her outfits, and other times she steps out wearing something that would even put Jordan or Snooki to shame! The other day we spotted her hanging around Soho in New York, and she sported what we think is a great transitional look. Balancing summer and autumn elements is really hot right now!

On Friday, the Oscar de la Renta team started a new Tumblr—ODLR Live. It’s the place to be to catch the show’s livestream at 6PM on September 13th, but it’s also a social hub for anyone, and everyone, interested in sharing their show experience. The team’s asked editors, buyers and even fans to help build content on the page, from what you’re wearing to the show, where they’ll watch it or why they love Oscar. Anything tagged #ODLRLIVE will be added automatically. And if you do tune in to watch the live stream, check in early for a live interview with Mr. de la Renta pre-show!

Prabal Gurung‘s spring collection was a purple explosion. A marbeleized floral print dominated dresses, shorts, shirts and even jackets; there was delicate purple lace and purple sheath dresses with carefully placed cut-outs; purple tulle added volume to a few of the silhouettes and his finale dress looked like it was covered in purple confetti. Of all the details—Zana Bayne’s leather harnesses, Nicholas Kirkwood‘s towering platforms, Charlotte Tilbury‘s saturated lipstick—it was the hand-painted latex and embroidered metallic paint drips that made us want to reach out and cop a feel. You can see the latex at left. Before the show, backstage, Gurung told us he found an artist in Brooklyn to spray paint the ombre fade directly onto the latex. As for the pieces that actually looked like they were dripping in paint, each drip was hand embroidered with metallic thread. Click through for a closer look.

- Quite the statement from someone who hasn't even turned 18 yet! When Women's Wear Daily asked the teen star where he sees himself in 5 years, Justin did not hold back!
He divulged, "Well, by 25 or 26, I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family. I want to be a young dad. I want to be able to have done what I wanted to do – to be successful, to do a movie or whatever."
But relax Bieblievers, he did add that he's not actually looking to get married right this second, even though he did call his current girlfriend Selena Gomez "amazing".

They may not be the biggest names, but the front row at Charlotte Ronson—a who’s who of It Girls, with Kelly Osbourne, Nicky Hilton, Joy Bryant, Margherita Missoni, Angela Simmons, Ellie Goulding, Sky Ferreira, and Whitney Port in attendance—is among the most loyal and enthusiastic. They’re friends-cum-fans of the New York designer, and aren’t quiet about their allegiance. Port and Hilton whispered about their favorite double-denim and dip-dyed pieces on the spring ’12 runway, while Simmons got reality TV star-turned-fashion critic Osbourne’s feedback on a pair of ‘70s prairie-style lace pants. They weren’t the only ones getting loud for Ronson: At the end of the show, sister Samantha Ronson interrupted her playlist with a big, loud airhorn and a fist pump as her sister took a bow. But the biggest crowd reaction was saved for Ronson’s half-sister and muse, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, who walked in the show. Her boyfriend, French graffiti artist Andre Saraiva, stood up and cheered, mom Ann Dexter-Jones laughed, and the rest of the front row whooped loudly. Annabelle gave a quick, shy smile and then kept walking; after all, it wouldn’t be a Charlotte Ronson show if there wasn’t some noise.

- Oh Justin! You just make it too easy for all the haters sometimes! Teen super duper star Justin Bieber recently admitted to wearing women's jeans, because they fit him well and just "work".
He said, "I've worn women's jeans before because they fit me. It's not a trend; it's just, whatever works, works."
We wonder if he has ever shared jeans with girlfriend Selena Gomez? Hilarious!
