| August 2000:
Metrofashion Fall 2000 Preview |
| Showing off is
back in style for the Fall 2000 fashion season. Makes sense - Spring
2000 was "Elegant and Pretty" and released designers from
the minimalistic 1990s female interpretation. Now Fall is upon us
and everyone is excited to show off their glamourous fabrics, patterns,
and details. Metrofashion.com Fall 2000 will be a huge issue with
everything you need to get in step with the dazzling Fall and Winter
2000-2001 season. Here is a preview... |
| |
 Designs
in lilac highlight the Fall 2000 runway fashions. Shades of purple
show up in skirts, dresses, blouses, evening wear, and accessories.
Very feminine and very mod, lilac designs accentuate the curves of
the female form and provide a dramatic presentation to the deep necklines
that are also showing up this season. Shown here from the Los Angeles
Fashion Week is the Fall 2000 season premier, with peices from Bryan
Emerson, Status, Canvasbacks, XYLA, and many more. |

|
 Sophisticated
pattern/fabric combinations showed up on the New York catwalks
in February, as designers unvieled one of the most eclectic fashion
seasons ever -bold, opulent, satin, embroderies, and geometric prints
reminiscent of the 20s, 50s, and 80s, and city chic reflecting the
austere 40s.
The message is excitement about the bountiful fashion foundation
of the 20th century mixed with the inspiration of new fabrics and
a new metro chic for the year 2001 and beyond. This image taken
from the BCBG runway, highlighting one of the bold Fall 2000 trends
of burnt red colors on summer designs paired with a lush velvet
full-length winter overcoat.

 Sleek
careerwear. Fall is always time to dress up, and career wear sees
an immediate impact. Business dressing for women has come along way
with help from the "power" looks of the 1990s. Fall 2000
fashion sees womenswear designs taking on male components. Slim cuts,
oversized shoulders simply for masculine form, and tailored fits give
the Y2000 woman an impressive presence at the corporate table.
Matched with options for flair like fur scarves and newsprint-design
handbags, Fall 2000 is the first season to give women feminine choices
for projecting their new exceutive roles. Shown here with a film negative
prop in the background, this two-peice design sets the pace for the
Fall 2000 business dress season. |
| |
 Dazzling
details... Fall 200 is nothing if not dazzling - jeweled metal
belts, glimmering satin jackets, and upgraded punk diagonal zippers
give any fashionista the tools to express their party personality.
And it's all in style - Fall 2000 fashion is extremely flexible, the
only look not recommended is practicality.
Gloss it up and show it off - that's the theme and Fall designers
are sticking to it. If fancy Gucci and Gaultier doesn't surprize you,
then maybe a punkish Armani with street-sense will. Looking for respite
- check out the Calvin Klein and Jil Sander collections. Otherwise,
the rockin' spirit of the 80s is back! Images from the 70s and 80s
fashion show at Polly Ester's Culture Club in San Francisco. |

| (Oscars
after-party) "..Denise Richards glistened
in a glass beaded pantsuit with a halter top." |
Shaune Bagwell
- Notes from the Party...
In Style Magazine's Elton John Aids Foundation
Party At Pagani |
 ©Shaune
Bagwell - Sir Elton John knows how to throw a most
devine soiree. Complete with a raffle for a brand new Lexus and a
ten thousand dollar Neiman Marcus shopping spree, no expense was spared.
The two party goers that guessed all the Oscar winners correctly received
diamond-encrusted watches, and as the evening wound down, everyone
was given a one thousand dollar goody bag as a parting gift. |

|
|
| |
| During some of
the more mundane moments of the night, I found myself standing next
to Fran Drescher in the ladies room. As we waited in line, I couldn't
help but ask her who had designed her dress. In a very gracious way,
she told me it was a Marc
Bouwer. |
| |
| Elizabeth Hurley
was brilliant in an emerald green chiffon confection. While I didn't
get to ask her who had designed her dress, I think it is safe to assume
it was Versace.
I wonder if her loyalty to the designer is due to the untimely death
of her friend Gianni, or if it is because the clothes are just so
darn fabulous. |
| |
| Jenny McCarthy
was a fashion disaster in my opinion. Her dress was dowdy, and her
hair style was sloppy. Who in the world advised her to go brunette?
Eeeek! She is such a sweet and beautiful girl, I sure hope that she
returns to the style that made her a celebrity. |
| |
| Denise
Richards glistened in a glass beaded pantsuit with a halter top.
Her hair was up in a simple ponytail high on her head, a la' I Dream
of Jeanie. One of the few attendees in pants, she was one of the brightest
stars of the evening. |
| |
| I was absolutely
stunned at seeing Farrah
Fawcett in person for the first time. I was amazed at how beautiful
she looked up close. While her dress was non-descript, I couldn't
take my eyes off her skin and hair. She stood out in the crowd without
the grandiosity of a flashy couture gown. She truly is one of the
most radiant people I have ever seen. |
| |
| Among all of
the grandeur, it is easy to overlook the charitable aspect of the
gathering. All proceeds of this bash go to the AIDS Foundation. I
hope that Sir Elton John will always be remembered as the humanitarian
that he is. He has given freely his time, money, and energy to millions
of people in need. He is all too aware that when you throw a party
and invite thousands of your friends and the press, money will pour
in to help you fight a horrendous disease. We salute you Sir, for
using your colossal stardom to help others...Well, for that,
and for throwing arguably the year's best party! |

 DKNY
at Macys: Macys Union Square, San Francisco, staged
a major multimedia launch of DKNY's fragrance line. Appearing were supermodels
and DKNY spokesmodels Mark
Vanderloo and Esther
Canadas. DKNY has taken a beating in the press of late, with slow reactions
to fashion industry IPOs and the recent strike of DKNY by photographers
at the New York Fall Shows, but this event marks a resurgence. |
Store
wars begin... By
broadening the product line and refocusing the  DKNY
label on cutting-edge twenty-something glamour, the fashion house has sent
a shot across the bow of rock glam marketer Tommy
Hilfiger and basics wardrobe seller Banana
Republic. DKNY has fired the first shot in the "2000 store wars" now
that the buzz of the 2000 Spring and Fall runway shows is over. |

| Fall
2000 Collections: New York Fall 2000 Shows are
complete and the message is "smart and dressy". From Marc Jacobs to Ralph
Lauren, Fall
2000 looks are clean, cool, and dressed. Dresses
and skirts are streamlined, form-fitting, and easy on the eyes (unlike
much of the Spring 2000 concepts.) And delightfully metro. Jackets
and suits are detailed and mono-colored. Even casual is formal, with
plush corduroy replacing cute denim for weekend wear. Designers have created
Year 2000 wardrobe showcase to outfit the closet for years to come. Three
sites offer excellent snapshots of the events: Vogue
New York Fall 2000 Shows, 7th
on Sixth Fall 2000 NYC Shows, "Lifewise"
Coverage of NYC Fall 2000 Shows on Canada Internet Explorer. |

Kors Fall 2000: Gold and silver are the colors of choice for Kors this
year, and the shapes are deliciously form-fitting. On the runway, Kors shows
brilliant walking silhouettes of shimering female curves, swaying back and
forth while the fabrics wrap the body like liquid. The effect is glamourous
and timeless. You can watch Michael
Kors Fall 2000 runway show on CNN Video - click here. |
