I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl

As you know, we are counting down the days until “Project Runway“ Season Four debuts. Come November, we will be in pure fashion designer competition bliss perfect to curl up and catch a marathon on a stormy Saturday, while taking breaks to do some gift shopping online. I painted a nice picture huh? Anyway, the new breed has been released and here is the first group photo. You have our favorite judges Heidi, Nina and Michael and of course, the mentor with the most soothing voice, Tim Gunn . And just look at the colorful bunch! This is fashion fun just waiting to happen.

I went ahead and judged these aspiring designers by their covers and here are my three picks, purely based on personal style. On the left there’s the pretty girl, Jillian, who hails from Long Island and is a Parsons alum (nice). In the center is stud muffin Rami, who lists Alexander McQueen as a favorite designer and claims a hot pair of leather boots is a fashion must, fierce. On the right is the lovely Victorya, who spells her name cool and already claims polished with an edge according to this outfit. You know my first favorites, re ad more about them all here who are yours?!

To see the entire new cast of hopefuls and some fun extra pics from the show,

How appropriate is this: just as SJP is traipsing around Manhattan f ilming the “Sex and the City” movie , the handbag that was her faithful SATC sidekick, the Fendi Baguette, is getting another spin today on the runway.

The bag was first launched in 1997, so for its ten-year anniversary, it’s getting a makeover! For Spring, Fendi redesigned the bag in four sizes, from small to extra large - many feature a detachable strap that turns them into clutches, or for the larger versions, they can be transformed into messenger bags.

The bags are made in all different kinds of materials, from python to plasticized leathers, and many come lavishly embellished, too. Sounds like one of the original “It” bags may be “It” all over again...
