#MRTURKxFashionado TRUNK SHOW RECAP

Photo opp with the "Turk Boys" Craig & Richard!

This blazer is EVERYTHING! #musthave

I'm pictured here with Pride School Atlanta Founder, Christian Zsalivetz and his most adorable daughter Zoe who was quite the fashionista!

Mr Turk found a new friend with Steve Hightower, one of the most prominent stylists in Atlanta.

Matt Zarin, Raising The Bar owner, shook it up well all night long!

Theo Tyson of Trinity Productions and I could not get enough of Zoe!

Trina Turk Phipps Plaza

The very stylish gift with purchase benefitting Pride School Atlanta.

No one does color and pattern like Mr Turk. No one does menswear like Mr Turk. And in Atlanta, the only place to find this amazing brand is at Trina Turk at Phipps Plaza. Mr Turk is one of the most refreshing menswear labels out there. Jonathan Skow a.k.a. Mr Turk, embraces impeccable tailoring, great design, bold prints, pattern and vibrant colors to create unique collections for confident men. This is fashion! As a fan of Mr Turk, I was thrilled and honored to host his first ever trunk show in Atlanta and introduce this exciting fashion line to a new audience. It was a true fashion party at Trina Turk with a fun group of fashionados and fashionistas enjoying Bulleit Bourbon cocktails, beef tenderloin and lobster bites from Davio's Restaurant while they played "dress up" and shopped. The evening had a socially-conscious purpose as well, bringing awareness to Pride School Atlanta. A portion of Turk sales benefited the school committed to providing a safe, fun and rigorous learning environment to LGBTQQIA students, families and educators.

“COACH PUPS” LAUNCHES WITH LADY GAGA’S FURRY FRIEND MISS ASIA KINNEY

Coach, Inc., a leading New York design house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle collections, goes to the dogs as it reveals its newest advertising campaign. Titled “COACH PUPS,” the new campaign features canine stars in a series of portraits photographed by Steven Meisel. It launches this month with Miss Asia Kinney, the adorable four-legged companion of Lady Gaga.

The campaign celebrates the dogs in our lives and captures the pups’ unique personalities as they “model” Coach’s Fall 2015 star bags. Additional PUPS staring in the campaign will be revealed shortly.  Miss Asia Kinney, Lady Gaga’s now famous French Bulldog has amassed a substantial social media following in only a few short weeks. The Coach bags she elegantly models in the campaign are the Edie and the Rucksack. Lady Gaga commented: “I am so proud of Miss Asia! She's a natural in front of the camera, and we're both so excited that the iconic Steven Meisel shot her for Coach's pup campaign! I really love getting to watch my best friend be a star.”

Stuart Vevers, Creative Director at Coach comments, “'I’ve never had so much fun on a shoot. The combination of Mr. Meisel and the pups was an extraordinary, surreal, special moment. We wanted to create playful images that make you smile. We were inspired by some images from the Coach archive, which featured Eddie—the dog that starred in the TV series Frasier—to create something joyful, with humor and character. That’s a spirit that’s uniquely at the heart of Coach." 

This new initiative will also introduce the social campaign #coachpups, including a range of online activities for fellow dog fanciers, opportunities for Instameets, special talks and other events hosted by the great and the good of the canine world. This will also mark the debut of the Coach Snapchat account.

Coach has made a donation to Chicago French Bulldog Rescue (frenchieporvous.org) on behalf of Miss Asia Kinney and her devoted owner.

Brunello Cucinelli Spring 2016 Menswear

If I could only use one word to describe the Brunello Cucinelli 2016 menswear collection, that word would be "perfection." Cucinelli takes a casual, sporty and chic approach to this collection. The looks are styled to perfection, just like the fit. What I am most obsessed with are the pants. All trousers, draw string pants and denim have a specific cut for a specific fit. They offer one pleat, making them slightly roomier at the thigh but continue to taper down the leg. Most are cuffed and ride on the ankle. It's the details that matter.

Moschino 2016 Menswear

Jeremy Scott Moschino

No one can accuse Jeremy Scott of being boring. Clever, talented and a little crazy, yep... He drew inspiration from Louis XIV and from Moschino's Pitti Uomo location for the extravagant collection. Embroideries, ruffles and metallics made way for decadence on the runway. Racecar and graffiti prints ruled and Moschino spokes girl, Katy Perry sat front row... View collection.

Melissa Rivers joins cast of Fashion Police

"I'm very excited to be given the opportunity to continue to work with my E! and Fashion Police family," said Melissa Rivers, in a statement.

I'm so happy Melissa is joining the cast of Fashion Police. It makes so much sense. Not only is she the show's Executive Producer, but as Joan's daughter, I don't know of anyone better to keep the legacy alive. Melissa joins Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski in hosting Fashion Police starting late August. Different celebrity guests will join the trio. 

A couple years back I got a smile from Joan Rivers at New York Fashion week. The same day, Melissa, wearing jeans, sneakers and a headset, ran past me inside Lincoln Center. She was so focused and directed. No one is more passionate about Fashion Police than Melissa Rivers. This is a great fit. Let's make it work!

Fashion Police returns to E! on August 31st.
