Model Jourdan Dunn sat front-row at the Topshop Unique and Issa shows this week in London. This is the first time we’ve spotted her anywhere close to a catwalk this season, as the 19-year-old took a break from the runways because she is six months pregnant. And what has she been doing in her downtime? [...]

Phillip Lim’s plan last night — as he sent his collection down the runway for a second time, before a full house of American Express cardholders (and André Leon Talley and Linda Fargo) — was for a “repeat” of his seamless Wednesday show. It was not to be. First, just when we thought we’d survived [...]

Kasia Struss.
In our latest Model Diary, Polish stunner Kasia Struss takes us behind the scenes at some of the most hotly anticipated shows of Fashion Week. In one packed day, she prepares to trot down the catwalks of Carolina Herrera, Donna Karan, and Marc Jacobs. Along the way, she shows off the natural makeup at [...]
Gifts we’re interested in getting this holiday season: a Miu Miu Hobo bag; an hour of Tim Gunn’s time in which he complains to us (in iambic pentameter) about liars. What we’d rather not receive: paper slippers. For this week’s challenge — explained by L.A. Times fashion critic Booth Moore, looking disconcertingly like a soccer [...]

We gave model Amanda Laine a video camera to document her Fashion Week adventures. Her day starts at 6 a.m., since she has to do a preview for Anna Wintour. At night she’s off to the Marc Jacobs show, where she gets dolled up and poses for a photographer who gives the models directions like [...]

It took a long time for model Siri Tollerød to get her hair done at Diane Von Furstenberg this week, and Jeremy Kost patiently shot the entire process, from the initial few braids to a near-Medusa look. Watch the time-lapse footage, get three stylists, and repeat at home.

To borrow a phrase from the woman herself, we met Victoria Beckham today and it was MAJOR. It was the best thing that has happened to us so far this Fashion Week, and is probably, in fact, the best thing that has ever happened in the entire history of fashion. Um, have we ever mentioned [...]

Moments before Erin Fetherston was to show her collection, a model decided she was uncomfortable wearing just a sheer top. “We had to come up with a wardrobe adjustment,” said the designer, who solved the problem with a camisole. Another model braved the flashbulbs in a gauzy blouse, and while nipples are okay on Fetherston’s [...]

The great thing about Milk Studios and this Fashion Week is exiting a show and being in the Meatpacking District. Boutiques and good eats are right there. After the Preen show, I did a little window shopping and Alexander McQueen’s window got the wow award. And I’m not the only one who thought so – [...]

We expressed some concern earlier about whether or not Erin Wasson would be able to fill the largest venue at Bryant Park for her RVCA show. But fill it she did with a rowdy crowd for the evening show.
I was surrounded by some hard-partying downtown types who seemed to have a huge fondness for [...]
See that? “Made with love.” And … scissors.
Whitney Port showed her Whitney Eve line for the first time at Fashion Week this afternoon in the tents at a group show, along with People’s Revolution clients Nicholas K and Mara Hoffman. So Whitney freelances for People’s Revolution for The City, yet she is also a client. [...]

“Celebrities — the cult — they don’t exist before Versace. This kind of thing to go and dress a rock band — nobody did that before Gianni did.”—Donatella Versace to OUT Magazine (via WWD) where she’s on the cover with model Paul Sculfor, aka that guy who dated Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz. Cult of [...]

The fall 2009 Prada campaign. Models from left: Kendra Spears, Julia Hafstrom, Ymre Stiekema, Anna de Rijk.
The Wall Street Journal argues that because of the recession, weird-looking models are going out of fashion, making way for girl-next-door types. When people are scrimping, weird models might scare them away from investing in $3,000 handbags. But in [...]
Rachel Rutt (Next Models).
Hong Kong–born Rachel Rutt began modeling just last year in Australia. After a strong showing at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week this past April as the most-requested girl of the season, Next Models swiftly scooped up the 17-year-old. (Mind you, this was the very same position Myf Shepherd was in just before she [...]
