Designers are the real celebrities in my fashion-centric little world, so I was thrilled to meet the delightful Mark Badgley (right, above) and James Mischka (left, above) of Badgley Mischka this morning. At an intimate breakfast in honor of the American Glamour Badgley Mischka line for HSN, I was privy to a sneak preview of their latest collection (including apparel, shoes, bags and jewelry) and a few stolen moments with the charming designers themselves.
While I was, of course, beyond familiar with Badgley Mischka's red carpet-ready couture creations, the American Glamour Badgley Mischka collection was new to me. And while I'm admittedly not the target demographic for most of the HSN collections, I'm thrilled to report the line is FULL of stylish, versatile and AFFORDABLE ($39-$499) gems. Pieces that women of any age or style proclivity can snag and find a home for in their wardrobe.
I'm personally eyeballing the snake print chiffon tunic, along with some of the amazing costume jewelry, but I'm curious - do you see anything that you like in the sneak preview below? If so, tune in next week. They'll be on the air live on March 17: 12PM (Jewelry Hour) and March 18: 12 AM-2 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM (Jewelry Hour) 3 PM-5 PM, 7 PM-8 PM, 10 PM-12 AM.
Happy Shopping!
The highlight of any award show is undoubtedly the red carpet arrivals and the Emmy's are no different. Here are a few of my favorites this year...
Padma Lakshmi has an unfair advantage (being Padma Lakshmi and all) but regardless, she looks spectacular in a couture gown by Badgley Mischka and jewelry from her own collection.
This is not the finest photo of Mila Kunis arriving at the Emmy's, but it doesn't erase the fact that her deep red tulle dress by Monique Lhuillier is a stunner!
Perrey Reeves of Entourage was a vision in a sleek and shimmery Naeem Khan gown.

Fashion news to report this AM - the design team at Badgley Mischka has announced the launch of Mark & James, the first contemporary collection from the duo. Said to be "designed with a young, yet sophisticated customer in mind, the Mark & James collection offers women a fresh, modern, sexy and more affordable way to wear the Badgley Mischka label."
The collection will launch for Holiday 2009 with approximately 30 styles, including beaded and embellished dresses that have an ease in their fit and attitude. In addition, “flapper” inspired dresses have an edgier approach with chain and beading details. Rounding out the line are various takes on the little black dress. Dresses in the collection range in price from $300 to $550. Mark & James will be distributed on the contemporary floor of major department stores as well as fine specialty boutiques nationwide.
Badgley Mischka is celebrating two glamorous decades in fashion with a new advertising campaign featuring some of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood: Eva Longoria, Carrie Underwood, Brooke Shields, Lauren Hutton and Anjelica Houston.
Shot by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, the ladies posed along with the designers in classic Leibovitz style. Each of the women is wearing Badgley Mischka couture eveningwear and accessories.
Keep your eyes peeled for the ad campaign debut in the April issues of Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and InStyle and be sure to check out the gallery for some great behind-the-scenes images!
