As fashion month fast approaches, it’s a good time to get your Twitter organized accordingly. Over fashion month, Twitter has increasingly become the best place to get fashion news and updates about shows in real time. And more generally, it’s one of our preferred methods for checking in on our favorite fashion folk and getting news fast.
So we decided to put together a top ten list of the fashion folk who have Twitter down pat. We like making lists. This list is, of course, subjective, but we looked at the number of followers, the frequency with which they tweet, and how much their feeds reflect their personality.
Ok, so this headline might be a little misleading. This edition of American Vogue that just went up on eBay is not super old. There’s nothing truly remarkable about this 2000 edition of Vogue save the masthead. Lauren Weisberger, she of The Devil Wears Prada fame is listed as one of the assistants to the Editor in Chief. Amy Astley’s on there too as the Beauty Director.
“In Short…THIS IS A VINTAGE ISSUE, before The Devil Wears Prada or Teen Vogue even came into existence. Carmen Kass is the cover model, and its 274 pages of good fashion from 2000. If your a magazine junkie like me, this is your time to jump on it guys,” reads the listing.

We received word this morning from H&M that Lanvin designers Alber Elbaz (womenswear) and Lucas Ossendrijver (menswear) are indeed creating a capsule collection for H&M.
The line will launch in North America on November 20 and the rest of the world on November 23. (November 20 is the day after Black Friday, which means H&M is sure to be doubly crazy that weekend.) Looks will be revealed in a film debuting on hm.com November 2, just a few weeks before they hit stores.
Until then, we’ll be dreaming of draped, 1940s-inspired dresses in juicy, fresh colors. Au revoir for now….

Chris,
Your girls are so colorful. Will you ever do a black and white only collection?
Dear Rainbowphobe,
True story, I do love color. Still, every once in awhile I start out with the idea of doing a collection only in black and white (like Pleasantville, I suppose). But of course color always seems to creep in, and ultimately enriches the direction and palette of the entire collection. With that said, recently we have been doing a lot more black and white than seasons past, which feels very modern to me. There’s something very good about cleansing the palette with a pure black look or a good, stark white.

“Let’s put you in a ridiculous outfit,” Steven “Duckie” Cox, one half of Menswear label Duckie Brown, joked with their model.
Ridiculous? Judge for yourself.
With Fashion Week only a few weeks away, Cox and partner Daniel Silver were previewing their spring collection, presented in collaboration with American Crew artistic director Paul Wilson to a small group of reporters at their Meatpacking studio.
The inspiration for the collection was “everything but the kitchen sink,” and the clothes live up to the name: Different materials, prints, patterns and colors define each piece. With this maximalist outlook, Duckie Brown has more than waved adieu to the austerity of 2009; they’ve killed it, buried it, and put a technicolor nail in the coffin for good measure.

Katie Hillier has had a career most could only dream of. Designing accessories at Luella, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and working as a contributor and senior-editor at POP, Katie’s resume is a fashion wonder.
But it was only recently that the British designer turned her sights on a different goal: creating her own label. Fresh on the heels of her win as Accessories Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2009, Katie set to work on Hillier, her eponymous jewelry line.
Mixing luxury with fun, Hillier is adorable, unexpected, and highly covetable. Click through for our convo with Katie.

The battle of the pickle lovers is on. Would you rather snack on pickles with Snooki or take down your recipes on Simon Doonan’s stationary for Dempsey & Carroll which reads, “Pickles are the new macaroons?”
