Poor Michael Kors, he is getting sued! Yes, Kors is involved in a trademark-infringement suit. The Tony Duquette estate is suing Michael Kors due to used the Duquette name. You see Kors used the Duquett for his resort collection. Well if you do not know Tony Duquett, here is a brief history lesson.
Tony Duquett was an acclaimed artist and designer. Mr. Duquett designed for Hollywood great like Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo, Fred Astaire, Vincent Minnelli, Marion Davies, and many more. Tony Duquett’s designs for the original Broadway production of “Camelot” won a Tony Award for “Best Costume”. Duquett also designed furniture for many stars. So Duquett had a huge impact on the fashion and interior design community. So there is you fashion history lesson for today. You learn something new everyday.
OK, back to the drama! Michael Kors use of the Duquett name to market his resort collection was big no no. Especially when Kors did not ask for permission. I personally think that Kors collection was an ode to the great designer Duquett. Do I think that the Duquett estate will understand-No! Mr. Kors will probably have to get his lawyers out. The case will go to court, and drama will ensue. I wonder how this case will be like. Will this drama affect Michael Kors on Project Runway? Will the case end up on Court TV or Style Network? Just kidding. On a serious note not, I hope that this case can be resolved peacefully. I think that bringing the Duquett name back into the public eye was great for both parties. Many are not aware of Duquett and his influence on the fashion. I hope that this lawsuit will blow over. Good luck Michael Kors!

Hello all my designlookout readers, I have a fashion treat for you. Awards season is the best time for fashion and trends. Everyone wants a RED Carpet Dress! Whether for prom or for a wedding. The Red carpet is the biggest runway for all fashion designers. You get first look at what is in and what is totally out. Today, I am going to show all of the fab and bad fashion at the SAG awards. Some stars look absolutely fabulous while others look just plain bad! So get those fashion guides ready and take notes.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are usually fashion icon today but this was not one of those days. This Hollywood couple is looking a bit old and boring. I was very disappoint. I was also upset because this blue Max Azria gown was worn backwards. The dress was suppose to have a plunging neckline! I am not into this “look”that Angelina has been sporting. Angelina needs something new beside the goddess look! I will say that her makeup is refreshing and natural. As for Brad, I can not stand his mustache. I love Brad but this mustache is driving me crazy. This was just bad!
Kate Winslet looks divine in this electric blue Narciso Rodriguez gown. This dress show the beauty of a woman’s curves! This electric blue lighten the red runway! I also loved her earring by Chopard. I can not say she was the best dress at the sag but she looked fab!
Evan Rachel Wood looked fab in her ark teal Monique Lhuillier with purple bag and shoes. This was a refreshing look for Evan since her departure from Marilyn Manson. This look is glam all the way. I love this look best of all.
Tina Fey was wearing a Brian Reyes cocktail dress. I was not feeling this ensemble at all. I feel that this dress was not very formal especially for The Sag Awards. I will give it to Tina, she looks very comfortable. I like the jewelry and Tina’s makeup was flawless. Sorry Tine Fey but this was bad with nice accessories!
Rosario Dawson look great in this dress until you eyes hit the floor. The gown was great but was too long for Rosario’s frame. Though many sites are saying that this dress was a fashion disaster, but it was not. The dress needed to be hemmed. That is all! So, Rosario was Fab with a bad seamtress!

I will have to say that I was a bit disappoint with Michelle Obama’s choice. I was look forward to a gown with some color. Red or Gold would have been a better choice for Michelle. The style of the dress was wonderful. The one shoulder dress emphasis the tone upper body physique of Michelle. I would have loved a more fitted bodice to accent her figure. I love that Michelle took a risk unlike many First Ladies in recent years. The use of an unknown designer was also great. The designer of this dress was Jason Wu. We need to know about different styles and designers. If everyone wore Oscar De La Renta or Carolina Herrera, we would very bored. Do not get me wrong, I love Oscar de La Renta and Carolina Herrera, but people need something new.
I do think that this dress was a disaster like other sites are proclaiming. Risk is a great thing in the fashion industry. If no one takes a fashion risk than fashion will become stale. So do not be discourage Ms. Obama, you took a fashion risk and it worked. I also love the jewelry. The lovely diamond chandelier earrings and bracelets are made by Loree Rodkin. The bracelet/earrings were elegant and simply.

I would have love you to wear the Monique Lhuillier sketch for Michelle Obama. This dress has a define bodice and great flow. The color is great too. I know that Jill Biden had wonderful gown. This dress was by a Lebanese designer Reem Acra. I loved this gown, though it was safe. Jill Biden looked chic. I would have loved Jill Biden to wear a necklace and a bracelet.
