Is Sex Addiction Real?

By: Vanessa Burka

Every few months, we watch some of our most beloved headliners and  “role models” go through parallel patterns.  There was the cougar trend that slipped into mainstream usage by Demi, Jennifer, Halle and several more.  Months, later DUIs became the latest accessory – proud owners including Lindsay, Mischa and Keifer. And we all can’t seem to shake the reality TV phase, where everyone and their mom starred in their own television show, allowing us an inside look at the “scripted” reality of the rich and famous.

LG Fashion Week: Orange NYC F/W 2010

Twitter Jury:
@adornedmag Orange NYC was LG Fashion Week’s newbie and a definite standout this season. I am obsessed with those chunky black knit sweaters.
@jillklausen Great, classic skirts and blazers would be perfect for the modern girl’s work wardrobe.
@kewellman I love this collection. Every piece is simple, yet feminine with a bit of edge. The jackets and top layers were my favourite pieces.

LG Fashion Week: Evan Biddell F/W 2010

Twitter Jury
@adornedmag It was fun watching this collection come down the runway because you did not know what would come out next. Kudos to Evan for bringing the drama to fashion week.
@jillklausen You can always count on Biddell to give us great colours and innovative shapes.
@kewellman Overall this collection was a bit much. However, the bright colours were a nice change from many of the black and white collections.

LG Fashion Week: Andy The-Anh F/W 2010

Twitter Jury:
@adornedmag Glad Andy added a spash of colour to his collection with the blues and greens. Although, most of my favourite pieces were in black.
@jillklausen Incredibly chic with a sexy edge. Although maybe a bit monochromatic for my tastes.
@kewellman I am a bit disappointed by this collection. I’m not crazy about the draped, excess material used on many of these pieces.

LG Fashion Week: David Dixon F/W 2010

Twitter Jury:
@adornedmag Dixon took the plain old LBD and gave it new life by playing with texture and prints. Loved the silver mosaic detailing on some of the dresses.
@jillklausen On one hand, loved the sexy, shiny cocktail dresses. On the other hand, some of the looks were almost too busy and too mature.
@kewellman Love the feather and fur accents, keeps the collection very feminine yet bold.

LG Fashion Week: Pink Tartan F/W 2010

Twitter Jury:
@adornedmag Kim Newport says she was inspired by Amelia Earhart while creating this collection. That marriage of femininity and fearlessness that Amelia had really came through.
@jillklausen In love with the grey knit dresses. And happy to see the sidebraid (my go-to hair style) will still be on-trend in the fall.
@kewellman I always love Pink Tartan. The combination of edgy yet classy pieces makes this collection my fave of the week.
