A Peek at Runway Rundown.
Celebrities a favorite source for fashion inspiration. My favorite celebrities in luxurious couture and ready-to-wear garments, such as Gwenyth Paltrow or Nicole Richie, to me, bring the runway to life. Now you can bring the inspiration of runway fashion to your life with one of my favorite sites offering the “look” for less, Runway Rundown.
A quick chat with Kim Hazle, Co-founder and Editor, gives us her inspiration on the site and fashion…
FP: What was your inspiration for Runway Rundown?
RR: Runway Rundown is a culmination of my favorite parts of the fashion industry. From styling to seasonal trends, to the actual inspiration that designers build their collections upon. I really wanted to share the artistic side of a runway collection with the everyday shopper as it so easily gets chopped up and lost after campaigns are shot and celebrities are styled in the clothes. And most importantly offer my tips on how easy it is to get a similar runway look and feel on a budget, as that is how I do all of my shopping.
FP: How long have you been blogging runway looks for less?
RR: I have been doing runway looks for less since the Summer of 2009. Its been great to see trends come and go and really get an understanding for seasonal colors and materialization.
FP: Can you name a few of your favorite finds of the past few months?
RR: Its so hard to choose just a couple as they each offer their own individual style and can appeal to so many different people for different reasons. If I had to choose, a couple of my recent favorites are:
This Marchesa dress that I featured during our Wedding Week:

Its avant garde and pretty much as stylish of a statement as you can make. Yet its still relate able to the everyday shopper through the alternative look I chose. It still has that high fashion feel with the tutu skirt but
it is more wearable as a special occasion dress.
I also love this look from Carolina Herrera:

I love the styling that went into building this outfit out of basic pieces to create a very specific look and feel. Its classic yet Eastern inspired. Such a chic look that anyone could pull off!
FP: What was your last purchase?
RR: My last fashion purchase was a treat to myself, A David Yurman ring. I love the idea of building a great jewelry collection as that is the final touch that completes an outfit and over the years it holds its worth more than shoes or clothes do.
FP: If you shop only one designer in the next year, who would it be?
RR: Thats a tough one, If I had to choose a runway designer I would choose Marchesa. Even though I wouldn’t get much use out of the dresses on a day to day bases, I love Georgina Chapman’s designs and how she is able to,
season after season, create such beautiful statement dresses.
Now realistically I should also choose a contemporary designer as that is what is in my budget for shopping. I would choose Winter Kate. I love how Nicole Richie’s boho-chic style comes across in her brand. It works
into my wardrobe really easily, especially living here in California, as I feel most comfortable having the option to keep it casual cool.
