Melrose, Ca- I met Abigail Quimpo as I was making my way out of Wasteland, on Melrose. Wild hair, a tan to kill for, and a gorgeous Vintage, floral Betsey Johnson coat. Her  and the group of equally chic friends she was with were making their way to a local street art show when I approached her. Right of the bat, her outrageously bubbly personality, and heartwarming laugh combined with her equally playful outfit gave me a fresh perspective on what chic could be. She wore a Beautiful, basic black PM Tenore dress, and the most amazing pair of cream colored, patent leather Marc Jacobs heels, which combined elegance with the edge and glamour of the coat, and for a quirk, she accessorized with a funky San Rio Hello Kitty, bow necklace.

She described her outfit as “free spirited and a reflection of my mood that morning.”  This post-boho chic look, is perfect for the woman who dabbles in both art, and fashion. Never thinking twice about conventional rules, or the weekly trend; although this look is tailor made for a specific woman, their is no doubt that it is in fact timeless.

Lady in Red

Here’s a dress to dance the night away in: Besoni from Barney’s Co-op in Santa Monica Place ($625).

Make this the year you break away from the safety of that little black dress, and try on something song’s are written about.  Stand out in the crowd with an alluring ruffled red dress, but be sure to keep your look current.  When considering your heels, belt and handbag, pair this firey hue with camel, purple, teal or even leopard print—just stay away from basic black.  Here’s a dress to dance the night away in:  Besoni  from Barney’s Co-op in Santa Monica Place ($625).

New York – It may have been the American fashion industry’s big night, but international fashion greats also got their due at the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards last night at Lincoln Center in New York on Monday, June 7.


The late Alexander McQueen was honored with a special tribute, presented by Sarah Jessica Parker, and his Fall 2010 collection was shown for the first time outside the small Paris presentation in March, where it was originally shown shortly after his death on February 11, 2010.

British designer Christopher Bailey of Burberry also received this year’s “International Award,” presented to him by Donna Karan.

A typically star-studded affair – like the Academy Awards and fashion week wrapped into one event – actors including Jessica Biel, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rachel Weisz and CFDA designers themselves, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, mingled with fashion’s finest, such as CFDA president and designer Diane von Furstenberg, Kenneth Cole, Zac Posen, Betsey Johnson, Rachel Roy, Brian Atwood and Peter Som.

Top honors of the Swarovski-sponsored night went to Marc Jacobs for “Womenswear Designer of the Year,” David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone for “Menswear Designer of the Year” and the “Accessory Design of the Year” award went to Alexis Bittar.

Swarovski also underwrote the awards for the top emerging designers, who this year included Jason Wu for womenswear, Richard Chai for menswear and Alexander Wang in accessory design. The winners in this category will receive financial support from Swarovski, as well as access to the company’s crystals for use in their own designs.

The Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Michael Kors, presented by Anna Wintour who recalled a humorous anecdote about how Kors once stayed in the ocean in Jamaica for four hours because Ralph Lauren was also on the beach – and Kors didn’t want Lauren to see that he was, in fact, wearing Ralph Lauren swim trunks.

Paper magazine’s founding editor and publisher Kim Hastreiter, a longtime champion of new and undiscovered fashion talents, was given the Eugenia Sheppard Award for excellence in journalism, which actress Brooke Shields introduced, while Caroline Kennedy presented Vogue fashion director Tonne Goodman with the Eleanor Lambert Award. Isabella Rossellini introduced Iman, who received the “Fashion Icon” award.

For the second year in a row, the “Popular Vote” award went to Ralph Lauren. Through a joint Web site sponsored by L’Oreal Paris and WWD.com, anyone could vote for their favorite fashion designer.
