New York Fashion Week Embraces Sean Paul

Here's an odd celeb/label pairing - Jamaican dance-hall king Sean Paul front-row at Y-3 yesterday.

The braided beauty - in jewel-encrusted sunglasses, a giant sparkly medallion around his neck and neon lady friend sitting next to him (yellow checkerboard pants, a sequin pink bra and dozens of plastic bracelets) - looked bizarrely out of place, further evidenced when he could barely control his laughter when boys took to the runway in dresses.

We failed too.

Yohji's line for Adidas is always a favorite - architectural shoes, sporty dresses that are cool enough to wear at the hottest bars, and an assortment of tops, jackets and skirts that fill the void in our closet for effortlessly cool, casual clothes. But even we don't buy the whole boys-in-dresses look, no matter how many MJ Cole Mohr ads we see.

The rest of the collection was expected - vests that name-checked the label on the back, Hamburgler stripes for boys and girls, sheer warm up pants with side stripes and ankle length skirts with oversized pockets and pleats.
