Design duo Cushnie et Ochs creates super-sexy fall collection for women with curves
Editor's Note: As the fall fashion season approaches, we look at some of the hot looks that will soon be in stores as shown on the runways of New York Fashion Week.

It might not be too far off the mark to proclaim that the design duo of Cushnie Et Ochs have never seen a body part they aren't game to expose.

Sure, New Yorker Michelle Ochs and Londoner Carly Cushnie don't venue into X-rated territory, but their super-sexy clothes always reveal an unexpected hint of skin at the ribcage, collarbone, shoulder, midriff or between the breasts.

But they also showed some more covered-up pieces — a tailored '70s-style green velvet pants and jacket combo, a mauve jumpsuit with matching overcoat and a high-necked, long sleeve tomato red dress with a flared skirt — that still flatter the body.

In a response to critics who sometimes carp that their clothes are made for waif-like models, they opened their show with Crystal Renn, who is by no means plus size but is more curvaceous that most runway models, and featured a number of models with amble breasts and backsides.

"Being women, during our production, we fit, fit, fit to make it comfortable, so you can sit down, if you can't wear a bra, you're supporter and whatever. A lot of people think you have to be a size zero, and that's not true," Cushnie told a select group of American Express card members in a question-and-answer session after the show. (The company offers special packages with backstage access to a number of shows each season for its clients.)

"Crystal, who opened the show is a beautiful girl and we really love working with her. She's sexy and it's awesome to open," Ochs added. "We always like girls who are very womanly looking, with boobs and a butt, and all of that. We want women like women in our clothes. It's not for young, young girls."

For inspiration for this collection, they turned to aerial outer space photos of the Earth. "We wanted this weightless feel with the capes and dresses," Cushnie said. "It's stil sexy but with movement. It's a bit softer."

Alessi's red, black and yellow MP0210 pepper mill in stained beechwood is not your average kitchen gadget. Created by renowned Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass, and grounded in the colorful, loopy Memphis style of the 1980s and early '90s, it's both table accessory and art piece.

Design trends have started their turn toward '80s postmodernism — and Memphis pieces are gaining attention from designers and at auction houses. Which is why adding a Sottsass metal basket or that bright pepper mill seems right, and right now.

Sottsass founded the Memphis Group in Milan more than three decades ago as a direct response to rigid intellectualism. The collaborative, which included Alessandro Mendini, Aldo Cibic and Michael Graves, churned out brightly hued furniture and design objects that borrowed from art deco and pop art movements. One journalist described the short-lived style as "a shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher Price." We like to retrospectively refer to Memphis as "postmodernism by way of 'Pee-wee's Playhouse.'"

Though the movement fizzled out in the '90s, contemporary, slightly reined-in spins on Memphis are cropping up in new furniture and fashions — so if you're ready to pepper some '80s style into your life, Alessi's authentic offerings are an easy way to snap up this bit of design history.

Nude lingerie for women of color creates buzz

Crayola changed the name of its "flesh" crayon to "peach" back in 1962 — but Google "lingerie" in 2014 and you'll find the name "nude" still overwhelmingly refers to light-peachy-beige.

So a simple thing like wearing a white shirt to work isn't simple for a woman whose nude isn't "nude."

Do you wear white, and know it'll show? Or a close-as-you-can-get beige or brown – and know it will still show?

Nubian Skin, a new London-based lingerie/hosiery business that has just opened online, is creating quite the splash with its answer: Four shades of lingerie and hosiery that range from a golden caramel to a deep brown with just a hint of rose.

Maybe even cooler? Founder Ade Hassan has keyed each to mainstream makeup lines' foundation colors. So if you wear Mac's NW47 or Bobbi Brown's Warm Walnut, Nubian Skin's Cinnamon is the shade for you. If you wear Bobbi Brown's Golden or Bare Minerals in Warm Tan or Golden Tan, consider Caramel. (Your mileage may vary, of course. But it's more help than we've seen anywhere else.) Other shades are Berry, the darkest, and Cafe au Lait, the lightest.

Prices range from about $50 to $60 for bras (which run 30B to 36DD/E, with more sizes promised) and $16 to $25 for briefs, etc. That's not too far outside mainstream upscale lingerie prices — but shipping to the United States tacks on roughly $25.

Halbreich talks closets, mirrors

Clothes and how to wear them have been a constant in Betty Halbreich's life for most of her 86 years.

Good thing she landed a job at Bergdorf Goodman as a personal shopper nearly four decades ago.

She lays out her life in a new book, "I'll Drink to That: A Life in Style with a Twist."

A conversation with Halbreich:

Closets have always been a source of comfort to you. They've played a huge role in your life.

HALBREICH: They're my playhouse, like my dollhouse when I was growing up. I can get up in the middle of the night and start doing them. I live in eight rooms. I have 12 closets. I just keep rearranging all the retro clothes backward and forward.

Closets and keeping them neat are like a hobby. It's really going back to my childhood. I've had enough psychiatry to tell you.

You have an odd relationship with mirrors. You're surrounded by them all day long at the store.

I do have an odd relationship. My mirror is so terrible at home that when I see myself in a better mirror when I come to work I say, 'My God, Betty. Turn up the lights. Don't walk out in the morning looking like a shadow.'

But clients, I teach how to look in the mirror. It's so interesting. It's a reversal. It's psychological. I've always had a fight with mirrors. I've never liked a mirror image. I've never really liked who I was, you know. I like who I am today because I'm more comfortable.

How do you train somebody to like their image in the mirror?

My mirrors are three-way and most women do not like that three-way mirror thrown at them, where you see your rear end, and you see your side view. But if they're really enamored of some beautiful piece of clothing it works.

I know what looks good on them the minute they put it on. Look, 37 years of this stupid job, if I don't know that it doesn't look good on them I should really leave.

Fashion Rocks': 11 Things Seen and Heard

Fashion Rocks': 11 Things Seen and Heard
nstage and onscreen, Fashion Rocks had its high notes (and flat moments), but the Tuesday night telecast intersecting sound and style had more going on

behind the scenes, including reminders to cheer, a slew of giveaways and a performance that started to clear out the Barclays Center audience.

Pret-a-Reporter recounts the 11 things seen and heard inside the arena and on the red carpet of the CBS event:

1.  When the live broadcast begins at 9 p.m. ET, the seated audience — composed of both devout fashion believers in notable heels, trendy hairstyle and

labeled pieces, and music fans in jeans and clubwear — was only about 80-percent filled. Still, they gave 100 percent of their shouts for show opener Usher.

After his performance, pictures of Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj and Pitbull triggered the biggest cheers during the opening credits.

2.  The first performer to actually evoke a palpable energy from the live audience is Iglesias, who sang "Bailando" with Sean Paul and Gente de Zona, and was

introduced by Tommy Hilfiger and the most popular model of the evening, Naomi Campbell. They hit the stage over half an hour into the event — maybe the

beers started kicking in?

3.  Hunger Games actress Willow Shields, who arrived in a Kate Spade floral ensemble, got really enthusiastic when we asked her about the one song that gets

her dancing when no one's watching. "I would dance to any song if nobody was watching," she squealed. "Right now, I have "Riptide" by Vance Joy. I've been

listening to it for a while and now it's becoming really popular, which I'm excited about." It's far from a booty-shaking type-of-beat, but we'll take it.

4.  After taking photos on the carpet, J. Lo was rushed into the venue — but not before giving a royal wave to fans and reporters, who were longing to have

a few seconds with before the show started. Still, she waved at us and we felt special for, like, a second.
