June 8, 2017 by WendyB

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The only models deserving of the “super” prefix were the supermodels of the 1990s. Linda, Christy, Naomi, Cindy, Claudia, Nadja, Yasmeen, Veronica, Helena, Stephanie, Karen, Kate, Nadege … I could go on and on listing ’90s goddesses. #nadegedubospertus in Versace Couture @versace_official #versace #90s #model A…

First Day of Fall, Last Dresses of Summer

Every year, as fall approaches, I realize I haven’t worn all my summer dresses. I raced to squeeze in a few of them recently. For a nonprofit organization’s cocktail party and dinner, I wore a JC de Castelbajac dress that I bought in Paris in 2013. What Wendy Wore Dress (with pockets!): JC de Castelbajac…

10 Years Ago: Wearing Ossie Clark for Marc Jacobs

Ten years ago tonight, I went to Marc Jacobs’s Spring 2007 runway show with MrB. As was my habit, I wore one of my vintage Ossie Clark dresses to Marc’s show. The late New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham always attended the Marc Jacobs show, and Bill appreciated a good Ossie. Even if Bill didn’t…

What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi’s 25th Anniversary Show

Last night, I went to my designing friend Zang Toi’s Spring 2015 runway show at Lincoln Center. The show was also a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Zang’s line. That’s a long run in fashion! You have to multiply fashion years the way you would dog years. Like, 25 years in fashion is at…

Pink Elephants for Fashion Week … and Maneaters

I am pleased to see that pink elephants are in style, or, more specifically, in the Thursday Styles section of the New York Times. As the Times reported, attendees of runway shows being held at Milk Studios during New York Fashion Week will be greeted by a 10-foot-tall inflatable pink elephant, designed by artist Tristin…

My designing friend Zang Toi (pronounced “Toy”) presented his Fall 2014 collection at the tents at Lincoln Center last Wednesday.

Throwback Thursday: Marc Jacobs Show, 10 Years Ago

Marc Jacobs will show his Fall 2014 collection tonight at 8 PM at his usual venue: the armory at 68 Lexington Avenue. I wasn’t invited, but I did go to Marc’s shows for several years, thanks to MrB’s job. I think the last one we went to was in September 2007. That show was memorable…

What Wendy Wore: Gold Lamé at Zang Toi’s Show

My designing friend Zang Toi had his Fall 2013 show at Lincoln Center last Wednesday. This season, he was inspired by Imperial Russia. Opulence. Zang has it!
