THIS Saturday, October 31st: HighBall Halloween

THIS Saturday, October 31, 2009, the Short North Business Association will be hosting the second annual HighBall Halloween, which will feature a couture costume fashion show. This $2 event will be a cross between a fashion show and cirque with a pinch of Halloween and a healthy splash of the Short North's artistic spirit. The event will feature outrageous costume contests for the general public, a couture costume fashion showdown for fashion professionals, the Dogtober Howloween Procession for costume-crazed pet owners, live bands, the city's hottest DJs, and all the artistic creativity one would expect of the Short North.

The evening will start with live performances on a stage situated between 3rd and 5th Ave. "The emphasis of the evening is on alter egos," shares John Angelo, Executive Director of the Short North Business Association and event coordinator. "This is not going to be your basic slasher, frightmare Halloween. It's not the stereotypical witches, goblins and ghouls. HighBall will pulse with creativity, self-expression and energy. It will be an immersion in absolute fabulousness… a celebration of Columbus' creative class. It's all about wow-factor, alter-egos, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and trick-or-treat 'eye candy.'"

The event will begin at 4:00 p.m. and end by midnight. "The beauty of HighBall," say Charly Bauer, event co-chair and co-owner of Jeni's Ice Creams, "is that it kicks off an incredible evening for Columbus' free spirits. After an unforgettable time directly on High Street for the first part of the evening, attendees can pick from dozens of bars and clubs in the area to continue the vibe well into the morning hours. Costume contests and Halloween parties will be surging in the Arena District, on Park Street, all down High Street and up into the OSU area. It's a vibe like no where else in Ohio."

Jean Paul Gaultier to Design Clothing Line for Target

Jean Paul Gaultier will be designing a clothing line for Target under Target's Designer Collaboration series. The line will be available in 250 Target stores throughout the country and online on March 7, 2010. The inspiration for the line will be the American woman, celebrating the forces of style of both past and present in American pop culture. Jean Paul Gaultier is known for his somewhat outlandish designs (Lady Gaga is a big fan if that says anything). Pictures from the line are not yet available (posted above are pictures from his 2009 AW RTW collection). I can't wait to see what he has in store!

Fashion Do: ANYTHING Leather

As I posted previously, one of the biggest trends this fall is leather (faux and real) moto jackets and vests. This trend seems to be expanding as more and more celebrities have been seen stepping out in leather leggings (AnnaLynne McCord above), shorts (Whitney Port above), dresses (Angelina Jolie above), and pants (Victoria Beckham above). While I don't really see myself in leather shorts this winter and, for those who know me, you know that I am not a huge fan of leggings, I do plan on breaking out my faux-leather skirt that I purchased from Nine West a few years ago. I think the key to this trend is to not overdo it with leather from head to toe or else you will look like you belong on the back of a Harley. When wearing leather on the bottom, leave the moto jacket at home! Below are some fun leather and faux leather options to choose from: Alice + Olivia structured shoulder leather shift dress for $440 available on www.shopbop.com; Bebe leatherette knit pant for $98; Arden B crinkle faux leather elastic waist skirt for $48; Charlotte Ronson leather high-waisted shorts for $193 available on www.shopbop.com; Urban Renewall leather and knit dress on sale for $39.99 at Urban Outfitters; Blank Denim pull on faux leather pant for $78 available on www.shopbop.com; Express faux leather pencil skirt for $69.50; Forever 21 slick faux leather shorts for $19.80; Candie's faux leather liquid leggings on sale for $9.99 on www.kohls.com; Forever 21 faux leather swing skirt for $22.80.
