Sister, sister.

The Olsens get my vote for sister team of the season (sorry Laura and Kate, see my post below). This dress alone earns them the spot:



The sleeve length, the color, the belted volume--it's all so modern but comfortable. It's wearable without being boring and their focus on fabric quality for their line The Row is super smart. They made only 19 looks for this season's presentation, but rather than feeling spare, they were all part of a well edited collection. It's also worth noting that this dress, while shown in the fall collection is perfectly wearable for seasons a bit closer to now, like Spring. That's smart. The idea of doing away with the futurama of fashion's presentation schedule is cropping up more and more. It would be a sea change in the industry if you instituted a wide-spread shift, but if designers can design, make, and deliver clothing a bit closer to real time, they'll benefit from our ever shrinking attention span. We want the trends when we see them. In other words, now.

If Fall dressing is actually more on your mind, this belted wrap coat over black pants looks like a warm bit of heaven.



Nice job MK &A. I now forgive you for New York Minute.

Fashion Week Is Coming! Fashion Week Is Coming!



It was the night before New York Fashion Week started, and all through the house... Anna was so effing excited!


That's me, being effing excited!

I love this shot from the New York Times today of the pre-show start photo shoot by Patrick Demarchelier in front of the Bryant Park tents. It juices me up for the festivities. Of course, you can count on I Want To Wear It. to bring you all of the up to the minute coverage of all of the fun, feathers, fur, ferocity, fedoras, fans, famousness, Ferraris, and ferrets. All of it. Right here. Starting with tomorrow's huge 5-borough-wide partay hosted by Anna Wintour, Fashion's Night Out.



I'm personally heading over to Opening Ceremony for their block party that will feature the work of my fashion fetishes, The Mulleavy Sisters, as well as Alexander Wang and other designers. But, if you'd rather ogle MK and A, Zac Posen, Victoria Beckham, and ALT, you can head on over to Bergdorf's uptown. Or, get a lip reading by Poppy King the Lipstick Queen at Barneys, or you can see a Little Red Riding Hood recreation put together by Grace Coddington at Prada. Oh dear, if only I could clone myself a couple Annas. There's so much to do! Listen, tomorrow you will be golden no matter where you are! It's gonna be a blast. You should wear good shoes (walkable people, no sky high stilettos!) and be prepared to make the rounds. I can't wait!
