Zubaz pants are back! Here's a promotional poster from the first run featuring Hall of Fame Quarterback Dan Marino and the Road Warriors rocking Zubaz gear You didn't think LAist would let Fashion Week come and go without at least one interview with a world-renowned designer, did you? Maybe you did. Either way we got one for you. While our interviewee may not be world-renowned, he is definitely renowned among influential fashion plates like......

Idol-heads and Runway-heads have a lot to celebrate tonight and I'll be damned, look at how busy the schedule is in the 10:00-11:00pm time frame. Since I don't think any of the options are fantastic is it better to have a little or a lot of mediocrity to choose from? In other news, yeah the writer's strike is over, and SNL is finally heading back into production with it's first show scheduled for Feb.......

Now that the writer's strike is on, what will happen to your favorite shows? The LA Times has worked up a grid explaining the future status of shows like "Lost," "Scrubs," and "Battlestar Galactica". The real tragedy here, of course, is that "The Colbert Report" is immediately going into reruns. Heathrow and Chicago O'Hare share the dubious honor of TripAdvisor's Least Favorite Airport: and yes, LAX represents itself nicely at #4. LA Weekly takes......

Welcome to the all fire, all the time edition of Extra Extra! The weather is not expected to abate until tomorrow, and fire fighters are still days away from containing major blazes. The New York Times is liveblogging the fires; they are reporting that over 500,000 people have been forced to evacuate so far (although other reports are estimating up to one million people have had to flee their homes). The Daily News is......

While SFist cringed at the fatal dose of crime littering the Bay Area, it found solace in Hillary Clinton's San Francisco campaign headquarters opening, which featured loads of exposed mammary glands. In other news, SF Taxi Commission ruled that Satan's cab must keep its (in)famous medallion number, 666; and in an un-fashion-forward frenzy, San Francisco Fashion Week (chortle) bars bloggers from covering and getting smashed at their shows and parties, respectively. Also, they found a......

I ran across the name Peter Gurnz when trying to figure out which shows in LA's recently past Fashion Week I was going to try and score tickets for. He is the man behind BOXeight Studios, who put together some of the hottest fashion productions of the season, including Eduardo Lucero and Jared Gold's shows. I sat down with Mr. Gurnz to find out what how he was tapped to help bring LA's Fashion Week......

Last night's episode was a repeat of last week's "Black and White" episode in which Vincent Libretti (Woody Allen) and Angela Keslar (Holly Hobbie) return to the competition in a desperate producer gimmicky attempt at boosting the ratings. The finale and runway show of Olympus Fashion Week airs 10/18. The final episode will air in two parts beginning 10/11. I will be on vacation that week, but I'm sure our guest reviewer has great stuff......

by Maeko "Iconic Statement" - Guest Judge: Designer/Icon Diane Von Furstenberg Challenge: To recreate and modernise a look of a fashion Icon (not necessarily a super model). In this challenge, designers who were previously unrecognised or unacknowledged finally get their chance to shine. Another surprise from Angela who is just turning and twisting and coming out with things that you don't expect to come out of a quirky farm girl. Designers clash in the......

LA’s version of Fashion Week had its kick-off party last night at the Argyle Hotel on Sunset Boulevard. LAist was there to witness this Bacchanalian revery of quick introductions, free booze and frequently circulated snacks by the service all in black. Good luck trying the get a glass of white wine, though. It was vodka drinks by Vox, the liquor sponsor, or a big, big hassle. The purpose of the event, beyond being “seen”......
