No furrow in Lindsay Lohan’s brow today! Lohan and constant companion, Samantha Ronson take front row seats alongside Ann Jones to view Charlotte Ronson’s Spring ‘09 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York on Saturday. Brother, Mark Ronson DJ’d the presentation of sleek street-wear friendly ensembles. Body conscious cuts and a tinge of toughness characterized the look. As testament to the flexibility of Charlotte Ronson’s designs, one dress from the collection was worn by Lohan to the show, looking utterly different from that on the catwalk, paired with blue heels and filled out by bombshell curves. Check out celebrity attendance and the full catwalk show here.

Actors Stuart Townsend (L) and Charlize Theron attend the Rag & Bone Spring 2009 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Pier 94 on September 5, 2008 in New York City. Are the runway lights really that bright or is this mass donning of sunglasses a celebrity distancing move? Here are some other Fashion Week attendees being too cool for school.

Another cool styling execution swept runways at Japan’s fashion week for Spring/Summer 2009 collections. Everlasting Sprout, a line designed by Keiichi Muramatsu and Noriko Seki, showed silhouettes reminiscent of ballerinas, but in hooped crochet, over flimsy slips. Wabi-sabi was at play here: relaxed, over sized separates with baggy pockets in a bleached out palette had a resort meets hippie-mom quality. white-grey wigs cloned the models and gave the collection a courtly look. Earlier in the week, Mikio Sakabe’s collection used blond mop top wigs to unite models into an army of uniformity. Have a look at the wigged out runway.

Anne Hathaway attended the ‘Rachel Getting Married’ film premiere during the 65th Venice Film Festival on Wednesday. The actress hit a rough spot earlier this year but last night she glided across the red carpet looking graceful and swan-like in a cascading grey - aqua gown and simple gold accessories. One can imagine the mixed emotions she might have experienced spending time on the soil upon which her controversial beau, Raffaello Follieri was raised. Perhaps her nervous energy can be spied at the premiere. She snugged up to director Jonathan Demme, corralled her ruffles, spazzed out in her seat, and obliged fans with photos. See Anne be a good sport.

Japanese designers distinguished themselves with a firm hand in Tokyo as Japan Fashion Week Spring 2009 begins at Laforet Museum Harajuku. The collection designed by Ritsuko Shirahama (top) plays with transparency and unstructured volume. The models were presented with a dollish, delicate take on a slightly trashy teenybop aesthetic: synthetic with fun bobbles and brights with a loose, improvised looking flair. In contrast to Shirahama’s playful plastic parade, Fur Fur’s (bottom) inspiration was straight from the forest. Unassuming neutrals, dusty florals, comfortable flats and slouchy shapes were organic and unpretentious. Models looked like bohemian tumbleweed fairies under bouquets of dried flowers. The masses of dry vegetation hid much of the collection, but the overall effect was enchanting. Check out both collections here.
