Never Is the Next New Thing

Lick It Up, Baby. Lick. It. Up.

Darlings, it’s after 2 AM and I have to get up before noon for a change, so I don’t have time to tell you all that happened to me last night. Here’s the short version:

I got an awesome new Francis by Christian Francis Roth piece that I’m calling the “Erica Jong dress.” (Christian’s name suggestion is “The Zipless Frock.”)

Naturally, I accessorized with the swear rings.

I met designer Phillip Lim.

I saw a crazy drunk girl throw up on a nice blogger in the front row of a fashion show. (No pictures. You should thank me for that.)

I saw a model faint on the runway in the same show. At first we thought she was just falling out of her shoe, but she kept wobbling and the model next to her had to half-carry her backstage.

Down she goes.

Down she goes.

I met a bunch of cool people.

I read Market Publique’s blog post on the IFB party and a bunch of lies my stylist, Prunella Jones, made up about me.

That’s it!

  7. I love your zipless frock!!! And what an amazing time you are having! Thank you for skipping the pic on the drunken girl, poor blogger, that’s not a souvenir you want to taken from Fashion Week. Love pic of you and Philip Lim!

    second of all, u need to go on with this look that is fran the nanny, i love her so much and you look fab. to hell with wwd.

    and third, would it be crass if some of my friends from parsons come with me on a francisnewyork studio visit? i’d love to take a look and i showed them his website and they loved his dresses too.

  12. AH HA!!!!! The Zipless Frock! Love it.

    That poor blogger! What do you do when someone pukes on you at a show? Especially in the front row? Do you just sit there and hope the colours match your outfit?

  13. I havent been feelnig good because of my breakup wit my boyfriend 🙂 But I will get over it. Thanks for your concern 🙂

  22. What fun photos! Phillip Lim is such a sweetie. Especially for doing two shows so that more of his fans can check out his clothing. Also, the front row puking is um… Sad.

  27. hi lovely! that dress looks great on you! loved reading this post, so interesting. poor model 🙁 and blogger 🙁 looks like you had a good time though 🙂 xxx

  30. WOW!!!! Francis blows me away so much! I wish I could have seen this is person! Was it at his studio? Is it part of his collection? Drooooooooooool…especially with it on you!

  31. Jordana, isn’t the dress the best? It came in last week as part of the second fall delivery. I will know next Tuesday if I have one around in your size or not and will let you know. Christian was talking about redoing it in a different fabric for spring and I totally think he should.
