    What's In Fashion

    Naeem Khan's bedroom eyes attract Beyonce's top stylist and Houston fashion lovers

    NEW YORK — Known for his sparkly evening wear, Naeem Khan has decided to take a walk on the wild side with a fall collection he labels "decadent boudoir." The designer, a favorite of Houston's social set, said he was inspired by Cabaret, and the set for his fashion show resembled a Bob Fosse musical, with a wall of white lights on a black background that looked so much like a theater set I was halfway expecting Liza Minnelli to pop out.

    While Khan's show was more sensual and erotic than usual, it retains the luxurious elegance that has made him a red-carpet favorite.

    While Khan's show was more sensual and erotic than usual — one reviewer surmised that since the designer has launched a successful bridal line he feels comfortable venturing out into sultrier territory for his ready-to-wear line — it retains the luxurious elegance that has made him a red-carpet favorite.

    Khan opened with a series of satin and crepe gowns and cocktail dresses dipped in gold filigree embroidery before showcasing luxe leopard prints, including a 3/4-length lambskin coat over a print chiffon gown and a cocktail dress in a beaded leopard pattern and skirt of ostrich feathers dyed to match the animal spots.

    The collection is almost entirely made up of nighttime looks, with entrance-making gowns in rose-and-black floral prints, body-hugging red beading, black-and-white harlequin patterns and flapper-style silver-and-gold fringe that shakes as a woman walks. The collection's last look — a beaded gold gown 3/4-length sleeves — is Oscar ready.

    And though the collection exudes sex appeal, many of the gowns have long sleeves, cap sleeves and illusion sleeves with embroidery. Even in Khan's wilder world, a woman gets to be especially sexy without showing too much skin.

    Houston-raised stylist Ty Hunter was on the front row eyeing several outfits for his top client, Beyoncé. He told the Hollywood Reporter that he had also attended fashion week shows by Dennis Basso, Vera Wang, Diane von Furstenberg, and Michael Costello, the former Project Runway contestant who created the white lace gown that the singer wore to the Grammys, and found "at least three to four looks at each show, which is really unheard of."

    Neither he nor Beyoncé will be at the Oscars next month because the singer is resuming her tour in England on Sunday (Feb. 16) and the show will incorporate some of the songs from her new album, which was unexpectedly released in mid-December. "Most of the designers we've already used on the tour are revamping their looks. So they'll be some new costumes for sure. It will be exciting," he said.

    Also on hand was a sizable Houston contingent, including Carrie Colbert, Lindley Arnoldy, Valerie Dietrich and Audrey Cochran. Alicia Smith and Saks Fifth Avenue's Jody Eicher also took in the show. "(Naeem) can do beadwork and embroidery better than anyone else," Eicher said.

    Naeem Khan was excited to take his runway bow.

    Fall Fashion Preview

    Rag & Bone fall collection salutes Cosby and the working-class hipster

    NEW YORK — Rag & Bone designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville are mixing it up for fall with a lot of different looks for the cool girl who doesn't want to try too hard to look hip. When the collection was shown at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week a few months ago, Georgia May Jagger (Mick and Jerry Hall's gorgeous gap-toothed daughter) strolled down the runway in a cream satin bowling shirt, with her name embroidered on it, and chocolate twill slack, setting the tone for the breezy collection.

    Wainwright and Neville teamed with Coogi, the original creator of the Cosby sweater, to update the textured knit in pencil skirts and cropped sweaters.

    There aren't a lot of office clothes in this collection that will arrive stores in a few weeks; instead Wainwright and Neville are in a casual, working-class mode, with buffalo check jackets, shearling work vests, paint-splattered skirts and pants, cropped sweaters and ribbed leggings.

    The duo even salutes, of all things, '80s-era Bill Cosby, with squiggly-patterned sweaters inspired by those worn by the comedian in The Cosby Show, one of the decade's most popular TV shows. Wainwright and Neville teamed with Coogi, the original creator of the Cosby sweater, to update the textured knit for pencil skirts and cropped sweaters.

    But R&B fans looking for something more formal to wear don't have to panic just yet. The duo includes a smattering of boyfriend blazers and jackets that they are known for in the Prince of Wales plaid and pinstripes for the young woman who wants to dress up at little bit more for any occasion.
