What Wendy Wore: Watanabe to the Weinstein Party
Remember that crazy Junya Watanabe jacket I tried on at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week? I bought it, of course, and wore it to the Weinstein Company pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles last night.

My designing friend Zang Toi‘s lucky number is 13, so he schedules his runway shows for the thirteenth of the month whenever he can. Sure enough, he showed his black, white and red Gstaad-inspired collection at Lincoln Center on February 13 in the early afternoon. When this gown — which reminded me of a hanbok…

While we were there, I spotted a wild and crazy “motorcycle” jacket by Junya Watanabe: bright blue, ultra-cropped, belted under the bosom, with an explosion of ruffles on the shoulders.

Her pattern-mixing, fondness for bright colors (especially in lipstick!), and trademark turban make her stand out, as does her height — she’s 6’1″ without shoes! Marian wears a lot of chunky rings,…
