First Day of Fall, Last Dresses of Summer

September 22, 2016 by WendyB

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

September 12, 2016 by WendyB

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…

Two Heads Below André Leon Talley in The Daily

February 23, 2011 by WendyB

I didn’t get a chance to post about it during Fashion Week, but I was very excited to be mentioned in the February 10, 2011, issue of The Daily, the must-read magazine handed out at the fashion shows. A Daily reporter asked me for my opinion of WikiLeaks back in January at the Fashion Group…

What Wendy Wore: New York Fashion Week

February 21, 2011 by WendyB

I barely thought about fashion during New York Fashion Week because I was distracted by my work on a non-fashion event. But I still got out to support two of my friends. Gorgeous blogger Jennine — the founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers — held her Evolving Influence Fashion Bloggers Conference at MAC & Milk Studios…

What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi Dress at Zang Toi Show

September 16, 2010 by WendyB

My designing friend Zang Toi had his Spring 2011 fashion show at Lincoln Center last night. The theme was “Lone Star Cowboy & the Texas Rose,” and the inspiration was the epic 1956 movie Giant, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean. Zang’s audience got to hootin’ and hollerin’ when a shirtless cowboy strolled…

Stacy Lomman: Off to a Great (Kick)Start

September 14, 2010 by WendyB

Here’s my favorite photo from gorgeous blogger Stacy Lomman‘s debut fashion show: Stacy taking her end-of-show bow with a TALL runway model. Stacy financed her show through crowdfunding site Kickstarter. I read about Kickstarter in the spring when four programmers used it to raise funds for Diaspora, a privacy-conscious alternative to Facebook. Their goal was…

Belated New York Fashion Week Tales

February 28, 2010 by WendyB

Like I said in a previous post, I was pretty busy during New York Fashion Week. When I wasn’t busy, I was delirious. I managed to squeeze in a few shows but, unfortunately, not Vena Cava‘s. I was getting dressed that morning with one eye on the computer when the news of Alexander McQueen’s suicide…
