Boy by Band of Outsiders recently booked Michelle Williams to be in their Fall 08 look book. The shoot, so informal there was no hair, make-up or lighting, was shot on a 70’s era Polariod camera by designer Scott Sternberg himself and perfectly displayed the brand’s edgy basics and quirky aesthetic.

This weekend, for his spring 09 presentation, Sternberg cast Kirsten Dunst in a video installation, which ran on big screens as guests browsed through racks of the actual collection. I love the idea of a presentation where the audience gets to participate in, touch and perhaps even try on the collection! And like Williams, Dunst is a perfectly chosen ambassador for the tomboy-with-a-girly-streak brand.

The designer told WWD: “I don’t make runway clothes. These are clothes you wear on the street, so I’m just super-uncomfortable with it. It puts it in totally the wrong context — I want to do something closer to where the clothes are, and let people actually touch and feel them as opposed to seeing them on a 14-year-old anorexic model.”

Steal the look by pairing a form fitting bandage skirt, like this ultra-affordable version from Xhileration with a smart white button-down shirt. I love the cut of this version, unexpected with contrasting panels of silk and jersey, from James Perse.
