Erickson Beamon FW 2012

I spent last night at Milk Studios covering the backstage scene at Erickson Beamon.

I was taping a segment for one of the show's sponsors, scunci (you know, the hair accessories brand), so my focus was on the models' fabulous 1920s-with-a-twist 'dos (they used scunci products as the foundation for the styles, which in turn highlighted the incredible Erickson Beamon headpieces).

Amsale Bridal Event

Last night I got the chance to talk wedding gowns and wardrobe malfunctions with bridal designer Amsale. Her number-one piece of advice (which I agree with): your wedding day is not the day to suddenly become a trendball (although I'm not sure that she used precisely that word). Think timeless, and to get started on your search consider what you wear and what you look like on a daily basis.

Then we got to talking about how while designers had been thinking that strapless styles would experience a dip in popularity, that hasn't been the case at all; they remain hugely beloved by brides. And I told Amsale about my own strapless wedding gown and how, though (I thought) very beautiful, it required lots of yanks upwards over the course of the night. There was even a terribly unfortunate moment in which I showed more bride than I intended to show (ifyouknowwhatI'msaying), a moment that I am aware of because, you see, sometimes there are a few photos of you taken on your wedding day. A fact that is usually good; in this particular instance, maybe not so much. Amsale was sort of horror-struck by this story, and assured me that if the internal construction is done right, a strapless gown can be worn with zero tugging and wardrobe-malfunctioning. Good to know.
