My friend and devoted blog reader ;) just emailed me this great article on Gossip Girl fashion. Check it out here
Highlights:
"Now some fall designer collections will also bear a “Gossip Girl” influence, a trend first seen in February on the New York runways, when the series ignited “a pretty huge resurgence of ritzy, preppy and collegiate looks,” said Amy Astley, the editor of Teen Vogue, citing punky school-girl styles from Marc by Marc Jacobs and Henry Holland, and crested blazers at Ruffian, among others"
"The series has become a profitable showcase for certain designers. “Do you like my new Nanette Lepore?” a character inquired in one episode. Ms. Lepore, a New York designer, reports that “within days after one of our dresses appears, the store gets calls.”
Never watched the show...thanks for letting me know, I am so in front of the telly come fall! Also never watched One Tree Hill... nothing could top Felicity (I am sadly still in love with Ben)
