Designer Spotlight

This week's Designer Spotlight is on Rebecca Minkoff. For your convenience we have listed reasons why we love her and why you should too:

1. We love the Morning After bag and we love it even more because of the name.
2. We love that her logo isn't splattered all over the bag distastefully. Logos are so 2000.
3.We love the fun colors, great architecture of the bags, and the efficiency of them.

It's Like Fashion Week All Over Again

Ok so maybe the title of this post is a bit misleading but it got your attention. Now listen, tonight we will be attending the Valentio: Last Emperor screening at the Bethesda Row Cinema. This is apart of a series of fashion events put together by The Front Row. As if bringing the Valentino movie to Maryland was not enough, Project Runway's Christian Siriano will be hosting a trunk show.

Happy Birthday DC Scout

Last night, we had the pleasure of attending D.C. Scout's 2ND anniversary party at Barney's Co-op in Georgetown. The event was fabulous. Well coordinated with champagne flowing and lots of delicious treats to snack on. The patrons looked amazing-in particular-a Ms. Rachel Cothran of Project Beltway donned a beautiful black ensemble.

Moving on, before the event there was a raffle off of a beautiful leather brown Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag as well as the winner's choice of any Diane Von Furstenburg dress(We know-We know). Though we didn't win, we appreciate the great goody bag that was given to all the patrons.

Over all the event was a major success! And a special shout-out to Emily Hall for getting Behind the Seams in the door.

The Fashion Show a Faux?

Bravo's The Fashion Show premiers tonight and honestly, we are indifferent. Here are our thoughts:

1. We know this is Bravo's not so indiscreet attempt at replacing Project Runway.
2. The name of the show lacks creativity, but what reality show doesn't these days.
3. We are slightly insulted that they would hire Kelly Rowland and Isaac Mizrahi to host it in an effort to win us over.
4.The designers all seem-well-type casted.

Even still, we'll be watching anyway. You can catch The Fashion Show tonight on Bravo at 10:00 p.m. est.

Pardon Our Dust

Behind the Seams would like to offer the sincerest apology to our followers. We have been lacking in our postings but we will be sure to continue our normally scheduled fashion updates. Thank you for your dedication.
