Comedian Josh Gondelman goes to fashion week.

This was a homecoming of sorts for creative director Natasa Cagalj, who decided to move the Ports 1961 show temporarily from Milan to London, where she lives and works. It also came from feeling safe and protected by her own four walls that led her to experiment with a series of interesting fabrics and textures inspired by the home interiors of a world traveler.
Moroccan rug patterns twisted their way into cozy, off-the-shoulder stretch dresses, while long, veil-like tops were thrown over roomy trousers, recalling the gauzy drapes that billow from the terraces of seaside villas. Extra-bulky knits embellished with reflective mirror pendants lent a quirky touch to the collection.
Cagalj has a talent for taking apart classic women’s wear staples and piecing them back together, and for fall she re-worked a host of shirts.
She sliced them at the sleeves and cut them into panels, moving the parts like a chess master. The shirts had open backs, asymmetrical fronts and great volume.
Extra-large tote bags appeared as a new category, part of the brand’s plan to expand its women’s wear business and grow internationally.

RED ALERT: Having taken an increasingly public role on the world stage in the past week or two, First Lady Melania Trump was front-and-center at the Saturday rally President Trump held in Florida.
Not to be missed in a cap-sleeve red Alexander McQueen knee-length dress, FLOTUS led the crowd in The Lord’s Prayer. The President (who kept his own look casual with a white buttoned down shirt but no tie) smiled affirmatively as he crossed the stage before his wife offered a few remarks.
Wearing the Republican party’s signature color, the First Lady pledged to create and support initiatives that would help women and children throughout the world.

She told supporters, “It is my honor and a great pleasure to stand here before you as First Lady of the United States. The America we envision is one that works for all Americans and where all Americans can work and succeed. A nation committed to greater civility and unity between people from all sides of the political divide.”
“I will always stay true to myself and be truthful to you no matter what the opposition is saying about me.” FLOTUS said.
Before she introduced her husband, the First Lady said, “My husband is creating a country

Ryan Lo was nostalgic for the Nineties, looking for fall to hip-hop music and skater culture, and introducing a collaboration with Hello Kitty.
“This season is about being true to my teenage years,” said Lo, describing his woman as fun, sexy and cute. “It’s almost like a weird Asian take on American culture. It’s about Nineties hip-hop.”
He sent out a sassy, playful lineup featuring tropical hues and original prints. Organza dresses and one- shouldered gowns came with Hello Kitty motifs, floral and camouflage patterns. Floor-sweeping dresses were styled with white T-shirts for a skater chic vibe.
Elsewhere, a knee-skimming dress with elbow-length sleeves came with a red-and-pink tropical leaf pattern and a small rosette trim on the sleeves and hem.
Hip-hop influences came via an oversized graphic knit cardigan in bright pink, blue and white worn over pink camouflage trousers. Models in trainers strutted down the catwalk to hip-hop music.
Lo collaborated with Stephen Jones on the floppy hats, which came in a camo print or bubble gum pink.
