On Display

Mariah Carey tries to steal the thunder from the Golden Globes by putting her own on conspicuous display in an extremely unflattering Herve Leger bandage dress.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Spring 2010 - Max Azria

Max and Lubov Azria's Spring 2010 collection is very minimalist, with a neutral palette of creams, grays, and blacks, and loose, flowing shapes. Peek-a-boo slashes are some of the few ornaments, and unfortunately, few are really visible in these front-view photos. This is a collection that looks better while moving, so be sure to watch the video at the end of this post.

These were my favorite pieces:

Apparently there were celebrities in attendance: gymnast Nastia Liukin (who needs bangs)....

...Lucy Liu...
...and Mickey Rourke (with Lubov Azria)

They were in the front row, while I, alas, was at the very back, craning my neck to see.
