Fashion week wrapped up in style this week at Bryant Park. The collections represented beauty, sophistication and elegance. There were a few that had some outlandish designs but the majority focused on staying away from the bizarre looks that are only good for runway.

Designer Isabel Mastache collection featured at Madrid Fashion Week included avant-garde, penis trousers for men. What was she thinking when she designed these awful nasty looking pants. And to make it even worse the arm jacket thing looks a hot mess. I won't even talk about the mesh of knit on the top of the model head which looks like he is being attacked by some colorful sea urchin.

Model falls twice on the runway at Haiti Relief Fashion Show during fashion week. British model Agyness Deyn took a tumble while walking the runway during model Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief Haiti event at Mercedes-Benz NY Fashion Week.
The 26-year-old British model lost balance while strutting the catwalk in Burberry platform shoes, which had 7″ heels. Proving the show must go on, she got right back up only to fall again.
Agyness finally gave up on the shoes and took them off and walked barefoot for the rest of the runway.
Later Agyness did what all celebs do now days after something crazy happens, they tweet about it: “1st show of fashion week! Took a tumble! Got up! Fell again. Should have stayed down the 1st time. Twice! WTF! Ouch my knees!”

While promoting her album in Asia, the R&B star wore a edgy Alexandre Vauthier black jacket from the recent Spring 2010 Couture paired with a peachy Isaac Mizrahi Spring 2010 skirt.

Zipper Heels Never Looked So Good
Zipper heels never looked so good. These sexy/rock style Giuseppe Zanotti chain-detailed strap ankle-boots are calling my name. Just looking at them makes me want to strut my walk on the runway.
These killer black leather heels trimmed with a gold chain would set off any sexy black mini or knee length dress. Although they are $1,000 (makes you grab your purse strings doesn't?) think of like this, as Stacy London would say where them 1,000 times and you will get your money's worth ($1.00 per day).
Description: Black leather sandals with a heel that measures approximately 120mm / 4.5 inches with a 20mm / 1 inch platform. Giuseppe Zanotti sandals have a gold-tone chain-embellished trim, an open toe, cutout sides, zip-fastening back with leather pull and a leather sole.

Twilight and True Blood stars provide hotness to Calvin Klein's underwear ad campaign. Twilight star, Kellan Lutz has been confirmed as the new spokesmodel for CK's underwear campaign. Its a shame that someone (he) can make a pair of underwear look so good. True Blood star Mechad Brooks adds his flavor to CK's famous underwear ad. All I have to say about him is Bodylicious. Brooks can now be seen on the new TV drama The Deep End.

Grammys Red-Carpet Showcases A Variety of Style Hits & Misses. Here are our Best Dressed Winners:
- Keri Hilson was glamorous from head to toe in her Dolce & Gabana crystal belted tulle mermaid gown.
- Lea Michelle has been on point at all her red-carpet appearances so far this year. The Glee star looked amazing, youthful and sexy in her black Romona Keveza Spring 2010 dress with feather like skirt bottom.
- Carrie Underwood was a total Greek goddess in this white one shoulder asymmetrical gown by
- Beyonce was sizzling hot in this neutral Stéphane Rolland Fall 2009 gown which had a piping design. The dress fit B like a glove. It caressed every curve perfectly and showed just enough cleavage. I was disappointed in Beyonce's hair, it looked dry and had some glitter highlights that just wasn't appealing at all). Her hair looked much better at her perfume launch in New York (see next page).
Worst Dressed @ the Grammys
The worst dressed at the Grammys had a slew of awful hot messes for the picking. But these two - Britney Spears and Ciara know better. They have walked the red-carpet many times and they each have a enough star power to have a A-list stylist.
- I don't know what Britney Spears looked like except that she looked a hot mess. The hair, the body suit jacket thing showing her legs was a HOT MESS.
Ciara looked like she was going to exotic party wearing this bolero and lace jumpsuit from Givenchy. All she needed was a leather whip.
Lady Gaga's Grammy Looks Win Best Artistic
Although the average person would not wear Lady Gaga's Grammy looks, we had to give her the award for Best Artistic. You have to admit that the craftsman ship of these costumes are amazing and perfect for the runway to add artistic flair.
Wearing this solar system themed Swarovski crystal costume from Armani Prive, Gaga surely knows how to keep us interested.
