The 2nd annual Creators Project took over Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood this weekend, sending its usually family-filled cobblestone streets into an artistic frenzy. While it was more serious than last year’s open-bar event, the sober crowd consistently raved about one installation in particular—Barney Clay’s reworked music video for David Bowie’s, Life on Mars. Shot by the legendary photographer, Mick Rock in 1973, the video shows Bowie in all his heyday glory—blue eyeshadow and matching wool crepe suit included. Now reworked by Clay—a well-known filmmaker and the husband of Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Karen O—the video has been turned into a digitized work of art. Bowie’s larger-than-life persona’s projected onto a two-story high cube, circling around an audience that gapes in awe from its center. This afternoon, we got a chance to chat with Clay about the piece…

- We love Ashley Tisdale and we know that you guys do too! So we are excited to announce that Ashley is going to have a new TV show that is somewhat based on her life! The show, titled "Under Construction," will air on ABC and is a comedy about a girl who has to move back home while her father renovates a house that is deemed a "money pit." We can totally see Ash in this role! We're really excited that she's getting her own TV show! (deadline)
Zoe_COUTURE- I’m sure many of us dollies wear make-up, some of us on special occasions and others everyday. Make-up is designed to enhance your already beautiful features and so, if worn correctly, it can make you feel fabulous. This fall, there are a few make-up looks that I recommend you try out, either on yourself or on your medoll!

- Kim Kardashian has stepped up her game! For the past few days we've seen her big, flowy, out of season outfits, and it's killed us! But we just spotted Kim in Dubai wearing a chic white top, black tailored pants, and the most amazing pair of leopard heels! The belt is a bit tacky, but we love the heels so much that we'll forgive her for that. Have fun in Dubai, Kim!

Carine Roitfeld finally offers her two cents on the Dior situation (which, really? Still no answer??). The former editrix thinks Marc Jacobs is a great idea, but worries no one wants the job now that every single name’s been dragged through the gossip heap.

To most fashion-concerned Americans, rugby’s little more than an diffusion label that’s part of Ralph Lauren’s gargantuan empire. So it may come as a surprise to hear that the Rugby World Cup is the world’s second most-watched sporting event. The popular tournament is coming to a close in New Zealand next weekend and surprisingly enough, its culmination is being celebrated with a fashion show. Taking place in Auckland near the cup’s main stage—the show, called Style Pasifika is an annual event that was tied to this year’s rough-and-tumble tourney. It will feature a garment from most of the championship’s member nations, each one created of prized New Zealand wool. While the USA was kicked out early on, it’ll still be represented in the show with an ensemble designed by Julie Chaiken of Chaiken & Capone—a label that’s well-loved for it’s sophisticated and simple sportswear. ”They were looking for a designer typical of each country who could help promote New Zealand’s fabric industry,” Chaiken explained. She’s created a blue shift and charcoal double-faced wool trench coat for the show, “I made the dress in blue instead of a whole outfit of red, white, and blue, because I definitely didn’t think that was something typical of American sportswear.” Chaiken will share the runway with Japan’s Yohji Yamamoto, Ireland’s John Rocha, and England’s Elizabeth Emmanuel, who designed Princess Diana’s wedding gown. While each of the looks are a one-off, they’ll be part of a public exhibition that’ll promote rugby and the nation’s fine merino wool. “Outside the US, American fashion doesn’t have the same impact. Good American design isn’t necessarily trendy and has staying power, I don’t feel like fashion from all over the world is that way,” said Chaiken. Other countries on the show’s roster include nations diverse as Fiji, Namibia, Tonga, and Samoa, and they too will provide domestically-designed garments constructed of New Zealand textiles. So perhaps it’s time to start paying rugby some attention—beyond the masquerading racks of cotton jerseys.
