Bringing new life to Versace line Versus
Christopher Kane, the Scottish designer, is working wonders for Versus, the diffusion line from Versace, as seen at Milan Fashion Week. See for yourself below.
I’m delighted to see Versus is back, and for his second collection, Kane tapped into the Versace archive for Bruce Weber images that were printed on T-shirts and bags.
I still recall Versus from the late 1980s and early ’90s. Gianni Versace created the line for his sister Donatella, who’s now creative director for Versace. The fall collection has been getting strong reviews.
In fall collections dominated by menswear inspirations, these party dresses are the perfect mix of flirty and feminine without being syrupy sweet.

A spring preview party at Stag
I dropped by Stag, the new men’s store on South Congress Avenue for a spring preview party on Thursday night. The whiskey was flowing, and the pizza from neighbor Home Slice was being nibbled.
But really, everyone was there to see the movers and shakers and to check out spring fashion. Just think spring is less than 25 days away. Can we let out a collective sigh of relief?

Tribeza editor, vice president exit the Austin lifestyle magazine
Tribeza editor and co-publisher Dale Dewey and executive vice president Karen Landa, who oversaw the magazine’s sales and marketing, are out as part of a series of changes for the lifestyle magazine in less than a year.
In May, Zarghun Dean, who founded the magazine in 2001, sold Tribeza to Scenic Creek Enterprises LLC, which was run by businessman George Elliman, a founder and investor in several Austin start-up companies, and Dewey, a former CEO of French luxury companies Christofle and Fauchon.
Dewey and Elliman met in the 1980s at Middlebury College in Vermont. According to a media release from last year, they hadn’t seen each other since graduation until a chance meeting in 2008 at an Austin restaurant. Later, the two were introduced to Dean.
The partnership between Elliman and Dewey ended last week, and Elliman, the magazine’s sole publisher, now controls the magazine.
“The partners of Tribeza got to the point where they didn’t necessarily agree how to take the company forward,” Elliman said in a phone interview. “One needed to buy the other one out. So I did.”
Managing editor Lauren Smith Ford and art director Stephen Arevalos remain in their positions at Tribeza. Newcomer Ashley Beall is the magazine’s advertising account executive.
Landa and Dewey’s names and biographies were dropped from Tribeza’s Web site.
In a letter received by retailers and others during the weekend, Dewey and Landa, who are romantically involved, said they decided to leave the magazine because Elliman wouldn’t make Landa an equity partner.
“Her impact was so significant that it became apparent to me that she deserved to be an equity partner,” the letter stated. “I, therefore, proposed to my partner to give an equity stake to Karen. Surprisingly, he refused.”
Elliman said he wasn’t opposed to Landa getting a stake in the magazine, but he was concerned about the timing of a stock option plan that would allow Landa to buy shares.
“There was never an outright refusal,” Elliman said.
He also said there were opportunities for the couple to purchase his shares of the magazine.
In their parting letter, Dewey and Landa mentioned other details about Tribeza’s past financial health. When Dewey and Elliman took over the magazine, it was “close to failure due to a heavy debt burden caused by a failed expansion to Dallas and Houston,” the letter stated.
The letter also stated the former owner launched a Web site using Tribeza content and started offering magazine advisory services. The act was a “blatant breach of his no-compete agreement” and resulted in a protracted lawsuit, Dewey and Landa wrote in their letter.
Now after a change in leadership, Tribeza, a monthly freebie, has to combat issues challenging many publications: declining advertising and an audience that reads online and uses social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook to gather news.
In the past year, Tribeza’s layout and graphics were updated and a new e-newsletter, a series of blogs and a Facebook page were added.
The magazine’s next issue will be released March 1.

Fashion, charity and faux gambling? Check out Viva Las Vegas.
Now that I have your attention. Why not spend a night in Monte Carlo via Las Vegas? Perhaps you can let out your inner Bond - James Bond, that is.
At 8 p.m. on Feb. 20, drop by Austin Music Hall (208 Nueces St. 512-495-9962) for the Monte Carlo edition of AIDS Services of Austin’s annual Viva Las Vegas event, which will include music from DJ Chicken George, faux gambling and a fashion show by Webber Productions with clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue.
There was buzz after last year’s fashion show, which included scantily clad models and a drag queen finale. Out and About columnist Michael Barnes and I agreed that last year’s show was among our favorites of the year. (Another one on our short list was the Tribeza Style Week show at the Long Center.)
Vendors such as Austin Cake Ball, East Side Show Room, Garrido’s, Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill, Parkside and Whole Foods Market will provide nibbles. A list of silent auction items includes a getaway to Acapulco, Mexico, a meet-and-greet with actress/comedian Sarah Silverman, a night at the Stephen F. Austin Intercontinental Hotel, a New Orlean’s package with a two-night stay at the W Hotel, tickets and airfare to a New Orleans Saints game and other items.
Tickets can be purchased at BookPeople or at AIDS Services of Austin’s Web site for $50, and they will be available for $60 at the door.

Men’s shop at By George to reopen March 1
We’re in the middle of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. While our eyes might be gazing at what’s going on in Bryant Park in New York, we can’t overlook what’s happening in Austin’s fashion scene, which is about to get another sartorial boost.
This time it’s the growing men’s category that will get a new store. Or rather, it’s a sorely missed favorite for some A-Town clotheshorses that will be returning.
After a three-year absence, Katy and Matt Culmo will reopen the men’s shop at By George. The shop, which opens March 1, will be inside the existing North Lamar Boulevard location of designer women’s shoes, frocks, accessories and other goods.
We’ll have more details early next week about the new shop.

Update: Austin jewelry line Anthony Nak to close
UPDATE: Anthony Nak will be shuttered in March. You can find remaining inventory at 50 to 80 percent off at Anthonynak.com.
His first solo collection, Eden, is influenced by French romanticism and Gothic architecture.
Anthony Nak, the popular Austin-based jewelry line, will be shuttered this spring.
“Anthony and I have decided to amicably part ways professionally,” co-creator Nak Armstrong wrote in a note this morning. (The line was created by Armstrong and Anthony Camargo more than 10 years ago.)
“As you know, I’ve been working on launching my own collection,” he said.
Selections from the Anthony Nak line have been worn by celebrities such as Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Beyonce and Rosario Dawson.
In December, Anthony Nak, a former finalist for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, returned with a trunk show of its high-end jewelry at By George.
In recent years, Armstrong and Camargo closed their downtown showroom and sold heavily discounted goods from the 18-karat gold collection through the Anthony Nak Web site. The line remained faithful to its entry level collection, which is sold through QVC.
Camargo has been living abroad, while Armstrong, who remains in Austin, has been working on his signature line.
An official press release should come my way today, and I’ll update this entry as needed.

Winter Olympic fashion: Update 5
Let’s get to it. More thoughts on the Olympic fashion:
I was digging yellow and blue combination from the Ukraine. Yellow has been a strong color, but red has been the color of the night.
I might be biased, but the United States really has a strong look with puffy coats with red details, winter hats with deer on them, and cable-knit sweaters. As a friend pointed out on Facebook, what’s the deal with Shaun White’s hair? Yes, perhaps, Carrot Top would be proud.
The Canadian athletes have a very festive style with red coats and hats that read “Canada.” I’m a big fan of the plaid scarves.
My favorite outfits of the opening ceremony have come from Germany, the United States and Canada.
Ah, now Nelly Furtado looked stunning with her fitting one-shoulder blue dress. That was a bold shoulder. I wasn’t crazy about her chunky shoes, and her makeup was a bit harsh. I mean she’s already has striking features.
So far, this opening ceremony in Vancouver hasn’t topped the one from Beijing. This one seems like I’m watching a combination of the Ice Capades and “Dancing with the Stars.”
But I do have Olympic fever. I’m looking forward to the ice skating and some of the ski jump competitions.

Winter Olympic fashion: Update 4
Thankfully there’s a commercial break. So what are your thoughts about the fashion so far? I haven’t been too impressed, but there have been a few gems worth noting as I have been doing.
Irish athletes brought spring with their bright yellow pants and black jackets with yellow details. Very nice.
The wool trench coats of the Italian team are understated and beautiful. Another one of my favorites.
Finally! Some fur thanks our neighbors to the south, Mexico. Keep warm.
For a moment I thought we were seeing the University of Texas team, but nope, it was the athletes from Netherlands, who wore jackets that were a shade of orange. As they came into focus, I noticed it wasn’t the burnt orange I’ve come to like. Wishful thinking on my part.
Puru’s team game with delightful puffy red coats; a nice change from all of the warmup-style coats we’ve been seeing.
Poland’s red, gray and white outfits are another strong contender. The looks were modern and tasteful.
Wow. I was expecting fur coats and big hats from Russia, which surprised me with athletes wearing red and white baseball jackets. Were those really baseball jackets?

Winter Olympic fashion: Update 3
Here are some quick comments about the opening ceremony fashion:
Czech Republic had multi-colored winter gear I liked.
Estonia snowflake-styled outfits were perfect.
Intriguing coats from Finland had graffiti-style print.
France, you’re disappointed me with these so-so clothing. Why not have Jean Paul Gaultier design your opening ceremony outfits?
Athletes from Georgia were wearing black armbands and long red coats and black scarves.
The Germans definitely are one of the best dressed teams with their yellow, blue and pink fitted jackets and white cargo ski pants. Loved the looks. Very modern a.
The British athletes looked stunning in their modern outfits and hoodies and caps and berets. Definitely some of the best looks of the night.

Winter Olympic fashion: Update 2
OK, so certainly this isn’t Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but it’s looking like the United States team has the best Olympic outfits courtesy of Ralph Lauren. I’m sure the French and English will bring the fashionable goods.
So far this is boring in terms of fashion. We’re are the colorful coats, scarves and big fur hats. … Perhaps I spoke a moment too soon.
Austria really should have its male athletes in purple outfits, not blue ones. What’s wrong with guys also wearing purple? Nothing. Purple isn’t only a women’s color. Embrace it, Austria.
Azerbaijan brought the colorful Robert Graham-style slacks. Very nice.
Red really appears to be the color of the night.

Winter Olympic fashion: Update 1
I love watching the opening ceremony to the Olympics. I’m sitting here on the couch at home.
This should be an entertaining opening with Sarah McLachlan, Nelly Furtado and k.d. lang waiting in the wings. Here are some of my quick thoughts so far while we hear the Canadian national anthem:
I guess I’ll forgive snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis for her awful hairdo and her less-than-fab makeup. Well, maybe not. Just stick to snowboarding.
Love the cream-colored cable knit sweaters that Team USA is wearing tonight.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police are just looking fabulous. I love seeing all of this red clothing tonight against the icy blue of the stadium.

Jose Luis Salon celebrates hairstylist Oribe, raises money for Haiti effort
Sorry for the late post on this one. …
I had a moment with celebrity hairstylist Oribe, who has styled Jennifer Lopez, Kate Moss, Mariah Carey and others, the other night when he was in town to visit the hairstylists of Jose Luis Salon, where his hair products are sold. Oribe chatted. I listened. He didn’t give me any dish about Season 3 of “Shear Genius.” (In case you didn’t know, he appears in an episode at the end of the season.)
Jose Luis owners Bill Pitts and Jose Buitron had an area of their salon setup where guests got to see Oribe worked his hair magic on several models.
The event, which was attended by the likes of former “Bachelor” star Brad Womack, Tribeza managing editor Lauren Smith Ford and KEYE anchor Michelle Valles, helped raise money for a project of I Am Change, a Woodlands, Texas,-based organization, that is raising awareness about sustainable access to clean water and sanitation in Haiti.
Earlier in the day, Oribe met with Jose Luis hairstylists for a styling seminar, in which he offered tips and advice.
And from what I’ve been told, Dr. Ruthie Harper, who runs a nutrition and skin care clinic on Medical Parkway, has been involved in developing Oribe’s upcoming organic hair care line.
Here’s a look at the night’s festivities:

Remembering fashion designer Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen was the rebel fashion needed. After all, in recent months, where would someone like Lady Gaga be without McQueen’s inspiration and, well, his stunning lobster claw shoes that everyone talked from the video for “Bad Romance”?
And really, where would fashion be without his controversial fashion shows and breath-taking collections for the past two decades?
While a talented designer and tailor, McQueen was ever a showman, the type of which we rarely get to see in the fashion industry.
From what I’ve read, McQueen, 40, was affected when Isabella Blow, an eccentric stylist who discovered him, committed suicide in 2007. He also was believed to be devastated by his mother’s death on Feb. 2.
I was stunned to learn about his death from an apparent suicide this morning, the same day as the start of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, before our style team left for a day-long photo shoot in Smithville for March’s Glossy magazine. (McQueen’s death was just as shocking for me as when I first heard Gianni Versace had been killed in Miami Beach, Fla.)
I never met McQueen, but I was fortunate to use some of his pieces for a photo shoot, one of my first here in Austin.
I styled models My-Cherie Haley and Anna Monette in McQueen’s lower-priced McQ line from the now-defunct FactoryPeople.com for the December 2007 issue of Glossy, the Statesman’s luxury magazine. (The purple dress, above, and the cable-knit scarf are from the McQueen line.)
McQueen was one of those rare talents who was with us for far too short of a time. To see a gallery of McQueen’s work click here.

Austin hairstylist Giacomo Forbes quits ‘Shear Genius’
I might have met celebrity hairstylist Oribe tonight at Jose Luis Salon, but the “Shear Genius” Season 3 guest didn’t warn me about the show’s big news tonight involving a certain Austin stylist.
Three minutes into Wednesday’s episode on Bravo, contestant Giacomo Forbes, a hairstylist at Bella Salon (1221 W. Sixth St.), announced he was quiting the show. He said his children were the reason he wanted to leave the show.
“I’m going to ask to leave the show,” he told the remaining contestants and host Camila Alves, the girlfriend of sometime-Austinite Matthew McConaughey. “I have three beautiful babies at home, and I’m having a hard time without them.”
“So that means you’re quitting?” Alves said.
“I’m going to have to bow out gracefully so,” Forbes said.
Later, in a moment in front of the camera alone, he said, “Not an easy decision, but my kids are more important to me than a billion dollars.”
The native Italian was one of the 12 contestants trying for $100,000 in seed money from Nexxus, an apprenticeship with the salon care company and an opportunity to style hair for a feature in Allure magazine. The new season debuted earlier this month.

Recap: ‘Shear Genius’ Episode 1
You know what? “Project Runway” could take a lesson from “Shear Genius,” which began its third season tonight on Bravo. This episode had some drama, sex appeal and even a bum slap from a towel-wearing Austinite named Giacomo Forbes.
And speaking of Forbes, the native Italian, who works out of Bella Salon & Day Spa (1221 W. Sixth St.), was introduced as one of the 12 contestants trying for $100,000 in seed money from Nexxus, an apprenticeship with the salon care company and an opportunity to style hair for a feature in Allure magazine.
In the first few minutes, we got glimpses into the work of the contestants, and they got to show their skills for judge and former “Blow Out” star Jonathan Antin (whose face is looking a little plumped and fillered out like Madonna’s. This season, I guess we’ll see if he is able to smile. Nope, I’m not an Antin hater, and, I very much miss his old reality show).
The short challenge involved taking several women with punk hairdos and taming those heads into stylish looks in two hours. Forbes got so worked up he had to cool down by fanning himself with his open shirt.
Or was he really fanning himself because he got a glimpse of sometime-Austinite Matthew McConaughey’s girlfriend, Camila Alves, the show’s host? Um, Forbes, in the opening minutes of the show, did say he likes Latinas.
His hard work got him into the top three for the challenge, but he didn’t win it. The hairstyle he created was light, airy and fresh.
Later in the show, Orlando Pita, who has styled Madonna’s locks, was brought in as the stylists’ mentor. He introduced the elimination challenge, which was to design a hairstyle that looked satisfying on the runway and covered the female models’ breasts. The models wore bikini bottoms.
There was plenty of big hair on the runway, um, for coverage, and plenty of intriguing ways of making sure none of the models’ goods were exposed.
Forbes’ big hair look made the cut, but the winner of the challenge was Janine from Los Angeles. The loser was Joey from Australia. Sorry, mate.
I’m hooked. Well, after one episode, “Shear Genius” might be that refreshing delight in a sea of fashion reality TV.

Jen Schefft of ABC’s ‘The Bachelor’ fame visits Austin for a clothes swap party
Jen Schefft, a former contestant on “The Bachelor” who was featured on “The Bachelorette” on ABC, met me for a drink at Jo’s Hot Coffee on Second Street earlier today. (She had water; I had iced tea.)
With the cold, dreary weather, we thought some retail therapy would hit the spot. So I ventured with her and her publicist to nearby Mercury Design Studio. (Check out my video with Schefft below.)
Schefft, who’s now married and living the suburbs of Chicago, is in town as the spokeswoman for Little Black Dress Wines, which is promoting a fun, frugal and fashionable concept: Closet swap parties. She’ll be the guest for one tonight in Hyde Park.
The parties involve women gathering with their old or unused clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry and other accessories and swapping their goods with each other at the party. What items are discarded can go to charity, and everyone is asked to bring $5 to donated to a charity such as Dress for Success or Clothes Off Our Back Foundation.
Sounds great in this economy. Why not swap your old clutch for something completely new to you?
For you “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” fans, here’s some dish on what Schefft, 33, is up to these days and what she thinks about the ABC reality show.
On marriage:
“Married life is great,” she told me. “We got married in May.” Schefft, who’s a publicist, married Joe Waterman. The two met on a blind date, and they recently bought a house in the suburbs.
On being on reality TV:
“I did ‘The Bachelor’ seven years ago,” she said. “It’s funny that people still recognize me. After ‘The Bachelorette,’ I didn’t watch it until this season.”
She and her hubby have been watching “The Bachelor,” and she said he has told her: “I really can’t believe you did this.”
Looking back on her time on the show, she said she’s glad she did it. She was 26 at the time and single. Her friends signed her up to be a contestant as a joke.
On any regrets she might have:
“I got to do some many fun things,” she said. “I’m glad I’m not currently in the process of doing it. All of the girls I’ve kept in touch with are married and have kids.”
On reality TV vs reality:
The situations the show and its producers put you in are far from reality, she said.
After all, who takes a helicopter to a remote castle for a date?
Her biggest worry came after doing “The Bachelorette,” in which she didn’t select any of the potential bachelors. She wondered: “Who else is going to date me after I’ve been on national television?”
On dating former “Bachelor” star Andrew Firestone:
“Andrew and I don’t keep in touch,” she said. “We were together for nine months. It didn’t work out.”
On the swap closet parties:
“The whole point of the closet swap is to be fashionable but frugal,” said Schefft, who has been to similar parties in Los Angeles and Chicago. So that means don’t splurge on fancy appetizers and bottles of wine. Keep it simple.

Favorite fashion looks from the Grammys
By now, you know Beyonce won the most Grammys (six new ones to add to her 10 from her days with Destiny’s Child) at Sunday night’s ceremony, which aired on CBS.
I didn’t give her a nod for her peach-colored dress with the dreadful exposed front zipper by Stephane Rolland on the red carpet. (The dress looked like it could have made perfect drapes.) For all of the Beyonce lovers, I’m not hatin’ on the Houston native.
Beyonce
She won me over later in the show during her performance of “If I Were a Boy” and Alanis Morissette’s “You Outta Know.” She just looked stunning, rock inspired and more than capable of giving Lady Gaga, who wore striking Armani Privi dress on the red carpet, a run for her money in the style department. (Watch out, Haus of Gaga, the singer’s troop of stylists and fashion collaborators.)
John Legend, Maxwell, Mary J. Blige, Heidi Klum and others made my fashionable list. (Certainly, there were plenty of style losers, including Quentin Tarantino, Muck Sticky, Miranda Lambert and Miley Cyrus, but let’s not focus on them.) Now, let’s get to the rest of the winners. For more photos, click here.

Say goodbye to Austin garden and nursery center Gardens
Gardening aficionados, Gardens (1818 W. 35th St. 512-451-5490), the popular nursery and garden center, is closing its original location on Jan. 30 after already closing a second shop in Dallas earlier in January.
Still available at the Austin store are terra-cotta pots and some home decor items and furniture. The store will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. The landscape architecture part of the Gardens business will stay remain open.
Gardens was most recently owned by Bill Bauer, who bought the business about four years ago. Bauer wasn’t available Friday for comment.
Landscape architect James David and Gary Peese, shown in the photo above, owned the original concept for years.
A nearby women’s store with a similar name called the Garden Room is still in business. The Garden Room is owned by Patty Hoffpauir.
According to Gardens’ Web site, Gardens was started in 1981 as a landscape architectural firm, and later the business grew into a retail nursery, home and garden store.
The store opened a second location in Dallas a couple of years ago.
Just recently Bauer and Gardens were featured on D magazine’s Best of 2009 list. “This is one of Dallas’ best boutiques for the home whether or not you’re an FOF (Friend of Flora),” according to D magazine.
The store’s Web site doesn’t mentioned the closing or that the Dallas store was shuttered.
