How much does it cost to get a celebrity filled front row at your fashion show?
Well, Fashionista drops it down with the numbers… check it out.

I’m not sure how accurate it is, but they must be based off something to create this numerical figure.
But I do think that it depends on whom the brand is. Dolce & Gabbana likes to put bloggers (ie: Bryanboy) in the front row… so I think it varies on the target market of the designers’ audience.
Imagine if Seattle Fashion Week or Bellevue Fashion Week could drop $$$ like that!
It’s one of those “who wore it better?” columns in your favorite tabloid magazines.

Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian are wearing the same Emanuel Ungaro dress.

J.Lo, January Jones and Victoria Beckham are all wearing the same Dolce and Gabbana dress.
The most frustrating thing is when you see that your friends constantly have the same or similar pieces of clothing as you. In America, we like individualism and that idea is also applicable to personal styles. I’m not talking about basic tee’s, jeans and sweats. I’m talking about specific dresses or jackets, shoes etc.
… but guilty as charged, I do own one. It was the North Face Puffy Coat which helped me live through the New York blizzards. You won’t really ever see me wear it here unless it’s below freezing level cold. Although puffy jackets are more for warmth than fashion I cannot ignore it this season because the weather temperatures just dropped that it’s time to think about those coats.
Let’s begin with the history of the “Puffy Jacket,” by WSJ. It hasn’t even been around for 100 years and it’s already available in all market levels. There’s nothing wrong with getting a pair at Old Navy or even Target. I know you know that puffy jackets get dirty quickly.
the Bravern! Who did? David Lawrence, which was located on the 2nd floor of Bellevue Square next to Seattle’s Best Coffee. Pushing the limits of the Northwest’s fashion scene for the past decade, David Lawrence has mastered the art of styling men and women in the Greater Puget Sound area and will now bring its fashion line-up to The Shops at The Bravern with a March 2010 opening. David Lawrence will take space next to Masins on the second level at the 110th arrival court.
Okay. Let’s be real here and admit that we don’t buy as many handbags as we used to. Budget crunch. So what are you going to splurge on this season? Look for timeless bags that are worthy for wear season after season. Here are some ideas. These choices are super simple, hence timeless.

(Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs, Dolce and Gabbana, Yvs Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Carlos Falchi mostly can be found at the future Neman Marcus at the Bravern)
Necklines people! Versace is all over it! Plunging V-neclines is made its comeback from Jennifer Lopez’s famous Dolce and Gabbana dress.

Remember the dress?

Of course, it’d be crazy to follow this trend, but for the rich and fabulous, colorful fur jackets are making its way into a trend. Fashion Magazine have editorial photoshoots on them.
You can’t get any more different than this.
