New York Fashion Week Spring 2009 (Erin Fetherston)

Spring Wear

Loud limbs have their role. But the newest looks in legwear come in neutral tones as designers give patterns a more tranquil update for spring.

Legwear’s tried-and-true colors, such as black and white, navy blue and nude, are making a comeback this spring. But this isn’t your granny’s hose. Manufacturers are keeping their collections fresh with intricate openwork, quirky patterns and by adding an occasional watercolor pastel.

ALEXANDER TEREKHOV RETURNS TO NEW YORK

Already hailed as one of the most promising up-and-coming designers in the world, Alexander Terekhov is preparing to bring his label Terexov to New York for a fifth season in September. Driven by the simple desire to create clothes that make women look elegant and beautiful, Terekhov is a natural fit in New York with his aesthetic of luxe minimalism and focus on a precision cut using expensive fabrics.

Rihanna without support ;-)

Rihanna shows yesterday in NYC that she does not need any support system. We wonder what Chris thinks about that.

Back to the future....

Then: Club kids like Heatherette designer Richie Rich, tranny pinup Amanda Lepore and Tunnel promoter-turned-murderer Michael Alig were ’90s counterculture kingpins. Ecstasy-fueled raves lit up NYC’s underground with the brilliance of a million glowsticks.

Now: Michael Alig (inspiration for the 2003 movie Party Monster) is up for parole this week and yearning to retake the limelight—if not the club Limelight, which closed in ’02. Richie Rich has been approached to design costumes for Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet tour. Amanda is a spokesmodel for MAC and CAMP cosmetics. And in homage to them all, MisShapes DJ Greg Krelenstein has teamed up with writer Leslie Arfin to launch Loser, a Thursday-night party at Bowery Electric featuring music from ’90s bands like Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins. So why are New Yorkers hungry for last decade’s scene? “Musically, there’s nothing besides Amy Winehouse that feels inspiring now,” Greg tells PSM, “so people are going back to what they know they love.”
