L'Oreal Fashion Week Day 2_Part 2

The Deadly Nightshades 'crash' the tent with a passionate (drunken) message of fashion responsibility

8:30 p.m. The popular-themed Bustle menswear show entertained as pretty-faced male models sauntered down the cash-strewn runway in flashy suits, trompe 'oeil suspenders, and doubled up buttoned shirts with 'gambling' motifs. The looks got a little repetitive and unnecessary, but gave me more time to try to figure out if many of the tailored slacks were simple pj fleece or luxurious boiled wool (my money's on the latter). Either way, they looked incredibly comfortable and very expensive! Top model Stacey McKenzie finished off the show while everyone applauded - which is apparently what we do when top models take the stage...

9:30 Joeffer Caoc showed a 'moody' myriad of textures and complicated draping techniques - but I missed this show as prior commitments called. I headed out in the miserable rain to work on a short film we are creating for [FAT]. The stars of the film, the fabulous designers and bike gang, 'The Deadly Nightshades' were real troopers to ride around in the rain in heels and layers of clothing! We have MUCH more filming and a lot of work to do so more on this later!

Philip Sparks with Andrew Sardone at Holt Renfrew the night before

10:30 As activity at the tent calmed down considerably, at least a dozen Philip Sparks' replicates, dressed in tapered-leg, grey classic suiting, casually presented his 2008 fall line. The pieces were clearly Philip: well-constructed double-breasted jackets, leather bombers and low V cardigans. For any dapper dude's well-rounded wardrobe, Philip even offers more casual denim-like jeans and even footwear, available at Town Shoes.
