Britney Spears and Kevin Federline went back to court for their ongoing custody battle for their two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline. The exes arrived separately at court amid a media firestorm this morning, remaining silent to reporters and photographers while they entered the courtroom followed by their respective legal teams. The silence continued within the courtroom between the former couple, except when addressed by the judge. Currently, Federline retains physical custody of their two sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1; Spears has monitored visitation rights and one overnight visit per week. Most legal experts concur that this courtroom battle will continue for months. Stay tuned to gettyimages.com for the ongoing developments with the case.

The Glamorous World That Is LA Fashion Week

Well here it is again Los Angeles fashion week, and with the dream team consisting of Mark Mainz, covering the magic that is runway, Michael Buckner, harassing the celebrities and models back stage and front row, myself doing more runway, and our freelancers Katy Winn, Charley Gallay, covering sponsors and lobby we are all set to cover the glamorous world that is LA Fashion week.

The first thing I have to mention is that apart from Katy, none of us have any fashion sense. Even though Mark and I shoot over 200 shows a year, we are still in jeans and black t-shirts and non-the-wiser to the good, the bad and the ugly that is the fashion world.

From what I do know, designers worthy of mention include Heatherette. For those of you not familiar with this designer, just think of Melrose and the West Hollywood scene -throw in porn star Jenna Jameson, plenty of exposed flesh with fake dirt (men mainly) some tires on stage and lots of color and you have Heatherette. The jury is still out on if this is fashion or just an excuse to have a big flamboyant party.

Moving on we had Christian Audigier, another headliner designer with a big production, again in the same vein as Heatherette lots of models, some not quite sure which way is the right way to walk down a runway, lots of color and energy and lots and lots of branding on the clothes, cant wait to see Mainz in a Christian Audigier shirt with his name plastered across his chest.

Finally I must put out a big thank you to Beach Bunny swimwear, no hidden messages here just girls in bikinis walking down a runway, showered, looking fresh and bouncy. Thank girls for cheering up the photographers at the end of the runway.

“Since I opened my store a year ago, I have fallen in love with LA fashion girl,” said Nony Tochterman, creative director of Petro Zillla of her spring 2008 collection (shown at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Culver City, California). Tochterman—known for her use of neon colors and retro styling—took her favorite client, the Hollywood “It” girl, and dressed her from day-to-evening with a yellow cotton sateen jumper for shopping on Robertson Blvd., a black chiffon cover-up for lounging poolside at Chateau Marmont, and of course the requisite neon asymmetrical gown for her big Mann Village Theater premiere.

It was an updated Laurel Canyon look at Bird Of Prey for spring 2008 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Culver City, California. The androgynous collection was relaxed as if dressing for a lazy Sunday with long, graphic cotton dresses for women and the thinnest cotton pants for men. A standout look was a printed day dress paired with a sleeveless hoodie, as seen above.

No flats for this girl! Almost seven months pregnant, Nicole Richie played coy with photographers holding a pillow over her baby bump as she arrived at Sydney’s Kingsford-Smith Airport in Australia. Tagging along with boyfriend Joel Madden, lead singer of the pop-punk band Good Charlotte, Nicole has recently been playing ultimate bandmate following the group’s tour dates around the globe (in heels, no less!).
