SACHA BARON COHEN BRUNO SPOTTED AT PARIS STELLA MCCARTNEY SHOW

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen was at it again during Paris Fashion Week. The Borat actor wasn't arrested this time but was seen portraying his Bruno character while sucking on a tampon at Stella McCartney's fashion week in Paris.  Yikes. Stella McCartney's famous dad Paul McCartney was at the show too.

HAVING wreaked havoc (and hit headlines) during Milan Fashion Week by invading various catwalk shows uninvited, Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego Bruno is at it again in Paris - this morning making a very conspicuous appearance on the second row of the Stella McCartney show.

With his red thong clearly visible above his jeans, the comedian - who was virtually unrecognisable in a flamboyant leather gilet, with his slicked-down hair dyed blonde and brown - sucked Tampax, clapped along to the music and generally disgruntled the front row by continually pushing aside those sitting in front of him for a better look at the models. source

MILAN FASHION WEEK RIHANNA @ GUCCI, JENNIFER LOPEZ @ DOLCE & GABANNA, GWYNETH PALTROW, KATY PERRY

Milan Fashion Week for Spring 2009 was buzzing with celebrities. Dita Von Teese, Matthew McConaughey, Katy Perry and Petra Nemcova were all seen at fashion week shows. Paris Fashion Week is now here but the front rows and parties were the place to be in Milan. Rihanna was spotted front row at Gucci and we think Riri was beautiful at the Vanity Fair Fab 5 party. Mischa Barton was also at the soiree. Happy Birthday to Gwyneth Paltrow who as at TOD's. Jennifer Lopez got her sexy figure back. The singer & actress was stunning at the Dolce & Gabanna show and private dinner party to celebrate Stefano Gabanna's 50th birthday.

Inside Gold restaurant, Gabbana—slicked-back hair and red bow tie—was gleefully promising a big surprise later on to mark Dolce's 50th birthday. Guests including Mr. and Mrs. Marc Anthony, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova, and Dita Von Teese (in other words, the contents of the afternoon's VIP room) ate pasta alla pomodoro, cotoletta alla Milanese, and irresistible little nubbins of Sicilian cassata. Then, Cinderella coaches arrived to tote a special few to the evening's stage two at the Hotel Principe. The big surprise? Diana Ross performing a special set for the birthday boy. Not too shabby, eh, Stav? source

BABY PHAT SPRING 2009 NY FASHION WEEK SHOW PHOTOS

Binside TV was in the house for the 10th Anniversary of Baby Phat. The Baby Phat/Kimora Lee Simmons fashion show was a celebration of the decade and the clothes reflected the theme.

The fashion show was star studded and kicked off with a 10 year retrospective video montage of past collections.

The Spring 2009 Baby Phat/ Kimora Lee Simmons collection found inspiration in the past.  Kimora's designs were 70's hippie chic with retro jumpsuits and head scarves. Click here to see fashion week photos from the Spring 2009 collections.

Heroes and X-Men actress Dania Ramirez was stylish in her Baby Phat dress.

The front row was filled with celebs. Serena Williams, Kat De Luna,Camelo Anthony, Lala, Yung Berg, Aubrey O'Day, Ice-T, Coco and Alexis Phifer.

We noticed that Russell Simmons was conspicously absent from the Baby Phat show.  Russell has attended past seasons then exchanged hugs and kisses with his two daughters Ming Lee and Aoki Lee before they walk the runway.  Kimora's rumored fiance Djimon Hounsou seems to have taken a "father" role with Russell Simmons' children. Djimon exchanged kisses and hugs with the girls. Russell Simmons hosted his own fashion show for the launch of his new ArgyleCulture menswear line. Do you remember that Russell is paying Kimora $40,000 dollars a month in child support and has supervised visitation with his kids? Russell Simmons defended his custody arrangement with Kimora Lee Simmons after gossip bloggers took issue with his supervised visits.

The afterparty continued at the Plaza Hotel.

Kimora asked Maxwell backstage after the show. "Maxwell are you coming to my party?"   

Maxwell replied that he was and was spotted hanging out with "Google Me" singer Teyana Taylor. Kimora showed her joy while sharing smooches with Vogue Editor at Large Andre Leon Tally.

Other celebs who we spotted at the party were Marc Jacobs, Rachel Zoe, Leven Rambin, LeToya Luckett, Ryan Leslie, Kyle XY actor Matt Dallas and late arrivals Stacy Dash and Tyson Beckford.

BOW WOW AND ANGELA SIMMONS COUPLED UP AT BETSY JOHNSON & RUSSELL SIMMONS ARGYLECULTURE FASHION SHOWS

Bow Wow and Angela Simmons definitely looked like a couple at the Betsy Johnson and Russell Simmons Argyleculture fashion shows. Angela told us that Bow Wow  was hanging out with her as a "friend" and he had never attended a fashion week so she brought him along. These two seem to be friends with benefits.

Bow Wow told us he really liked the new Russell Simmons Argyleculture collection and could see himself in some of the looks coming down the runway. 

Bow Wow has accomplished alot in his career and just turned 21 years old. He addressed the retirement rumors and said that they are true because he's going to focus on doing the Hollywood thing like Will Smith. We are not knocking Bow Wow's game while he gets his hustle on in music and acting. We think Bow Wow and Angela Simmons look cute together and make a great couple.

The Argyleculture front row was packed with celebrities. 

We spotted Sean Paul, Aubrey O'Day and D Woods from Danity Kane, Mel B and Petra Nemcova. We're taking in more fashion shows at the tents and are scheduled to attend tonight's debut DSquared Fragrance launch of the He Wood and She Wood, scents for both men and women. The Catenacci twins, Dean and Dan have a huge following of celebrities, including Christian Aguilera and Rihanna, who have both walked in DSquared2 runway shows.

WATCH MARC BOUWER VIRTUAL FASHION SHOW SEPT. 8 NOON

Designer Marc Bouwer is debuting his latest collection online at his website www.marcbouwer.com
Log on at noon to get a front row seat to watch the virtual fashion show.

You don't have to be famous, rich, or even part of the industry to get a front row seat at one of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week shows. Designer Marc Bouwer has decided to replace a live runway show with a pre-produced virtual one online.

“We're putting it into Fashion Week as a slot like a regular show,” says Bouwer. “An invitation is sent out. The show is streamed live at one particular time. All the editors, stylists, buyers, get an invitation to the show.”

Bouwer says his two main motivations are better exposure during a week that's very much about hard-fought competition for attention and the lower price tag.

“Sometimes there's like 40 shows a day. They cost so much money to produce and no matter how good a relationship you have with people, sometimes they just can't physically make it there,” says Bouwer. “You lose things and you spend all this money to get your brand across and sometimes you just don't get the exposure, the bang for your buck that you really want to get. There's nothing like a live concert or experience, but in today’s economic climate it just makes sense to do this. It costs less than half the price.” source

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK LINDSAY LOHAN CAUSES COMMOTION AT CHARLOTTE RONSON RUNWAY SHOW

Lindsay Lohan caused a Fashion Week frenzy at the Bryant Park Tents when she showed up to the Charlotte Ronson show. It was definitely a family affair.

Lilo's gal pal Samantha Ronson attended the show along with Charlotte's Grammy Award winning producer DJ brother Mark Ronson while younger sister Annabelle Dexter Jones walked the runway.

The London Club scene seems like an inspiration this season with some of the designers hailing from the UK and bringing their eclectic tastes to the states. Other celebs spotted backstage and on the runway are Charlize Theron, Mary Kate Olsen,John Legend, Gossip Girl cast members Chace Crawford, Leighton Meister, Jessica Szhor and Tamara Feldman.

Designers at New York Fashion week heard London calling — from 1975.

The looks of the London youth movment in the years when mod morphed into punk dominated runways Saturday in the second day of spring previews. Short skirts and tight pants kept the skinny profile fresh, paired with — what else? — edgy black.

Charlotte Ronson played on the theme to a crowd that included Lindsay Lohan in a denim corset dress with bright blue pumps.

Rag & Bone designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville were taken with the era after watching the Anton Corbijn film "Control" about the British band Joy Division. Their collection Friday wasn't the only ones inspired by the era's nonconformity, and the Fashion Rock concert featured a tribute to punk led by Fergie.

The look was in contrast to another emerging trend at the Bryant Park tents: easy, vacation-bound elegance. New York Fashion Week runs through Sept. 12, with more than 100 shows over eight days. source

Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus and Charlize Theron were among the celebrities who appeared at the fifth annual Fashion Rocks concert celebrating the relationship between music and fashion.

They walked the red carpet Friday night at Radio City Music Hall amid a media circus angling for glamour shots of other stars including Fergie, Rihanna, Chris Brown and the "Gossip Girl" gang.

Brown, the R&B heartthrob, soaked up all the attention with a smile as he showed off his dapper ensemble of a black vest and shirt, gray pants, shiny shoes and diamond stud earrings.

"To be a musician and a great entertainer, you have to be a trendsetter. To be a trendsetter, you have to know fashion — and I have fun with it," explained the singer, who later changed into khakis and a black shirt and scarf for a performance of his hit song "Forever."

The event will air Tuesday in a two-hour special on CBS. Proceeds will benefit Stand Up To Cancer, a program established by the Entertainment Industry Foundation to raise money for cancer research.

Stand Up To Cancer held a live telethon that aired simultaneously on ABC, NBC and CBS on Friday night.

Fashion Rocks provided a live feed to the fundraising show of a performance of more than a dozen divas — including Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Natasha Bedingfield, Fergie, Rihanna and Cyrus — who gathered on stage to sing their new charity song, "Just Stand Up." Theron and fellow Oscar winner Hilary Swank introduced the ladies' collaboration. source
