The iconic New Wave wardrobe of Aimee Mann is a vintage fashion score
9 Mar 2010 at 9:06pm

I'll try not to count how many times that I got dressed to go out to a club with MTV playing in the background.

But I will tell you that one of my favorite 80's groups was 'Til Tuesday.

What I really loved was how real and downtown the the lead singer Aimee Mann looked in in the videos in comparison to some other pop stars at the time who looked like they were styled and ready to go to spring break in Daytona.

As a just-hatched stylist and seasoned downtown club goer during the New Wave era, I was always amazed at how what we wore, what we saw never really translated to video, short of Madonna.

She had the look and the beat. Aimee had that Japanese cool, the counter-culture edge that redefined what chic was all about by way of designers like Yohji Yamamoto, Comme Des Garcons, Jean Paul Gaultier, Katherine Hamnett, and the like that made Charivari the boutique that it was.

It was a stunning morning at the Smithsonian today for Jason Wu and Prabal Gurung.

First Lady Michelle Obama donated her chiffon and Swarovski crystal Inaugural Gown designed by Jason Wu to the Smithsonian for their new ?A First Lady?s Debut? exhibit. The exhibit features 11 gowns worn by first ladies from Mamie Eisenhower to Michelle Obama which will be on view as of on view beginning tomorrow.

Putting on their vintage shopping brain, our friends at VagabondNYC look back at last week's London Fashion Week to tell you what future fashion influences their vintage shopping hunts.

Think like a stylist, and you too can get next year's look right now by finding inspiration in the details of what's in store for next season.

In the final Ready to Wear collection that he designed, Lee Alexander McQueen continued to experiment with ideas from previous collections with inspirations ranging from Byzantine art and Old Master paintings to the carvings of Grinling Gibbons, reports WWD.com

Lady Gaga with a Lobster is not the only tasty dish.

Stay tuned to today's edition of ?The Martha Stewart Show' where Vogue?s Editor-at-Large Andre Leon Talley dishes with Martha Stewart about his favorite shows from this year?s New York Fashion Week, his experience as a new addition to ?America?s Next Top Model? and some of his tips on what?s hot and not in today?s world of fashion.

Andre also illuminates his impeccable personal style by wearing the coat one of his favorite designers, Ralph Rucci, made exclusively for him in remembrance of dance legend Pina Bausch.

Andre: You can make you own rules. There are no rules in fashion anymore.
Martha: That?s right.
Andre: You don?t want to go out looking like Lady Gaga with a Lobster on your head unless you are Lady Gaga?

Harry Josh, John Frieda International Creative Consultant, worked his hairstyling magic to create a chic and modern Oscar hairstyle for Amanda Seyfried

Here's an Oscar hairstyle tip that you steal from the red carpet into your everyday Spring hair repertoire. What with all the full skirt silhouettes and retro-feminine silhouettes hair worn long and down or piled on top in a high updo just won't work. You need a simple chic pulled back do that still has a shape to be in balance with a full skirt.

That's what Amanda Seyfried needed to compliment her Giorgio Armani Privé soft green silk strapless gown with its Swarovski crystal encrusted structured and geometric bustier and full skirt.
Harry Josh, the John Frieda International Creative Consultant, shares his styling secrets for you to get Oscar presenter Amanda Seyfried?s simple chic hairstyle.

Truth be told, less is more when it comes to the perfect Oscar dress unless you aim to make a big bold statement on the red carpet.

It?s unfortunate that so many stylists got the memo on frothy dresses with full skirts and plenty of trains because by the end of the evening it was almost impossible to tell each ?top of the wedding cake? dress from the next. But I do know that their celebrity inspired knock-offs will be coming to a prom near you.

That said, we?re going to talk about the major fashion statement making risk takers, the queens of timeless chic. Whether it be simple or dramatic, love them or hate them, these Oscar dresses are the ones that are the most memorable.

The Oscars Red Carpet Photos- 2010

82nd Annual Academy Awards

Stay tuned as we share the gorgeous red carpet fashion from tonight's Oscars... photos added regularly so please check back for more.

>> More Red Carpet fashion & style

Our lead photo, left, is of Anna Kendrick in a Elie Saab haute couture gown.

So far, we are loving Maggie Gyllenhaal in a Dries Van Noten blue print gown, Charlize Theron, and Diane Krueger in Chanel Haute Couture for looking more fashion than Hollywood. Vera Farmiga in a red Marchesa and Elizabeth Banks in gray Versace look like gorgeous Old Hollywood glamour.

There was no doubt that Armani Prive haute couture gowns would be on the red carpet tonight and Jennifer Lopez took it out of the park with arguably the most amazing constructed and sculptural red carpet dresses of the evening and another stunner on Amanda Seyfried.

I highly suggest that you make time on your calendars to see the breathtaking Giorgio Armani Red Carpet Retrospective exhibition.
I was delighted to attend it's opening reception last night at the Armani store on 5th Avenue in New York. >> See Oscar fashion red carpet photos 2010.

So close that you can even tell which star is a bit on the busty side or which one is ever so tiny. I'm not snitching 'cause you better go see for yourself!

Inside the Armani Red Carpet Retrospective

For the past 20 years, Giorgio Armani has worked his design magic on countess celebrities at an ongoing stream of red carpet events. Days before the 2010 Academy Awards, the apex of the red carpet season, Mr. Armani has turned his 5th Avenue store and its windows into a museum of sorts to display the exclusive dresses actually worn by the stars at red carpet events.

You can't miss the incredible haute couture Armani Privé collaborations that Lady Gaga wore to the 2010 Grammy Awards-- the unbelievable 'satellite' creation is front and center in the store window... crystal panties and all.

Beyonce wore this at the Grammy Awards

The crystallized mini that Beyonce wore to the same Grammy's is also there-- so modern and chic!

The crystal collage trend from spring moves forward to fall 2010 and it's interpretations are boundless thanks to a collaboration with Swarovski and a dozen top designers during New York Fashion Week.

?For Fall, I was thinking about the tension between Disco and Punk, and a woman who is classic but has a penchant for Baroque adornment. We?ve used shades like ?Jonquil? and ?Dorado? in very modern insets and collars where the sparkle is veiled in chiffon. Swarovski?s modern approach to creating crystals in the most inspiring colors and shapes was the starting point to enhancing the idea of elegant rebellion in a youthful and unexpected way.? - Phillip Lim

The one thing that we are sure of is that these are by no means the symmetrical pavé sparkle that you associate with crystal past.

With designers like Prabal Gurung, Alexander Wang, Peter Som, Zac Posen, Halston, Rodarte, Yigal Azrouel, Julian Louie, Joseph Altuzarra, Ohne Titel, Manolo Blahnik, Phillip LIm (right) Proenza Schouler on shoes, and Graeme Armour adding their special touch to crystallized Swavorski the results are daring and as individual as the designer's themselves.

Since Oscar fashion is on everyone's mind, we thought this would be the perfect time to do a fall runway recap of some future sparkle that you may just see on a red carpet celebrity this weekend.

Or to use as an inspiration point for your personal Red Carpet moment. Glamorous style happens wherever you make it happen!
