`Runway' champ campaigns for Kidman to wear dress

Fashion designer Daniel Vosovic has someone very A-list in mind for the winning dress he created for the "Project Runway: All-Star Challenge."

Vosovic dreams of getting none other than Nicole Kidman to wear the elegant black-and-white ensemble that secured his victory on Thursday's special edition of the fashion-competition franchise.

Vosovic says he feels the urge to start a Web site for his case. Because, as he puts it, "I WANT that woman in my dress."

The style-savvy actress helped set up a design contest for Vosovic and seven other top contestants from past "Runway" seasons. In a video message, Kidman asked them to create a red carpet-ready look for the upcoming premiere of her film "Nine," which also stars Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and Kate Hudson.

She didn't say who'd wear the chosen dress.

"As excited as we were, we certainly got it," he said. "I mean, she has an international image to uphold. ... I think that she just wanted to have a little bit of a look, so hopefully she's watching the show, she loves what I did and she'll want to wear the dress."

Representatives for Kidman could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.

Vosovic, 28, is planning to debut his namesake collection at New York Fashion Week in February. He recently published a book, "Fashion Inside Out."

He was booted from "Project Runway" in 2006 after making it to the final round. Armed with more experience and confidence, Vosovic was happy to return for another shot at the title of top designer and the $100,000 grand prize. He out-sewed the competition on the one-episode challenge with four looks that were notably edgier than his understated designs on season two.

He says Michael Kors, one of the show's judges alongside Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia, once told him he created beautiful clothes that women want to wear but he was still learning how to put on a show.

"As harsh and real and honest as that was, I learned from it," he says. "And I learned, that, you know, sometimes you gotta turn up the volume a little bit."

Fashion Front-and-Center at "My One and Only" Premiere

What brings fashion designers running? If you're in New York City on a hot summer night, it is Renee Zellweger, who stars in the new film "My One and Only." The premiere of that Fifties-era comedy drew a who's who of well-known couturiers on Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Donna Karan greeted the super-slim Zellweger, who wore a sleek black one-shouldered cocktail dress, and Rachel Roy wasn't far behind. And the designing duo of Mark Badgley and James Mischka spiffed up the red carpet themselves, as they joined producer-actor George Hamilton at for the glittery premiere.

"My One and Only" follows Hamilton's real-life family odyssey, as his single mother loaded her sons into the car and headed west, looking to recruit one of her old boyfriends into the role of stepfather to her kids. It's a story with a happy ending, as Hamilton explained to reporters earlier in the day.

"The madness of my family, which was extraordinary, and the wonderful lessons that my mother taught me about life gave me the ability to withstand fifty two years of Hollywood," he laughed. "I've never had any addictions. Maybe a little to the sun, but bottom the line is that I live a very healthy life."

Hamilton brought his girlfriend, Dr. Barbara Strum, while Zellweger hit the premiere solo. The duo greeted the other stars of their new film, including Logan Lerman, Mark Rendall, Robin Weigert, and Holly Palmer, as well as famous faces including Bethenny Frankel, Emily Senko, Veronica Taylor, Zach Grenier, and artist LeRoy Neiman, who at 88 still sports his signature crazy mustache.

Back to School Fashion returns to 1980

Brace yourself moms, the 1980s are back in school fashion. Go grab your AquaNet hairspray and your Bananarama cassettes and get ready to go “Back to the Future.”

Leggings, skinny jeans, and stirrup pants are back. Bright neon accents and shiny colors have returned, and ankle boots and wide belts have resurfaced.

“We’re seeing a return of the early ’80s influence that you wish we had forgotten,” says Jacqueline Burris, assistant professor of Fashion and Product Design at the University of Cincinnati, “but it’s back with a 2009 twist.”

The Converse high tops and sneakers, a hot commodity during the ’80s, continue to be popular for boys and girls. They are now in eye-catching patterns and designs.

Burris says not to lace them all the way up to get that “just running out the door” look. Or change the color of the laces. Burris also says it’s okay to mismatch polka dots with plaids and other bright colors for fun.

Fashion isn’t just about decades ago. It also reflects the current social and economic times. This season, Burris says it’s all about utility and ease, and getting that extra bang for your buck. For example, all jackets, knits and shirts should have few buttons and be “easy on and easy off” for kids.

Layering is a great way to stretch your children’s summer wardrobe into fall while keeping your kids comfortable with the changing weather, Burris said.

For boys, Burris suggests layering graphic T-shirts over long sleeve shirts and adding even another short sleeve shirt on top to get an updated and modern look. Another way is to layer two different colored polo shirts, one on top of another with the sleeves turned up, to pop the colors and patterns, such as horizontal stripes.

“For button down shirts, we’re seeing some light embroidery detailing and the retro cowboy shirts in plaid. The T-shirts have lots of graffiti-inspired patterns such as skull and bones and griffins (think Harry Potter). Wear them with faded, ripped jeans,” Burris says.

For girls, there are shirt and sweater-dresses with exposed zippers and buckles.

“We’re seeing lots of bold colored plaids, quilted looks and bright mustard yellow colors for accessories,” she says.

When it comes to neck scarves, Burris says not be afraid to mix and match colors and patterns and advises against having one be too “matchy-matchy” with an outfit. In addition to the light and dark wash skinny jeans, a Crayola assortment of colors such as grape purple and hot pink are popular.

With jewelry, Burris looks for oversized clustered necklaces or those with lots of trinkets and charms. Shoes include highly decorated Mary Janes, open-toe boots and ankle boots.

So if parents are feeling a big nostalgic for the ’80s, they should get out “Breakfast Club” and “Pretty in Pink,” and watch them again, this time with their kids. Mom may warm up to leggings and stirrup pants again.
