And so, the actress will debut her latest line - a collaboration with the cashmere giants Lutz + Patmos - on Sunday, February 3, at the New Museum. DJ Michel Gaubert, who does all the music for Karl Lagerfeld, will helm the decks.

Although this marks Kirsten's first clothing foray, it isn't the first time Lutz + Patmos has been to Hollywood. Their past guest "designers" include Liv Tyler and Julianne Moore, plus one collection with Carine Roitfeld at the drawing board.

Lutz + Patmos also did a collaboration with Uniqlo two years ago, but we don't think Kirsten will follow in their footsteps with that one...

After all, Scott Schuman is The Sartorialist, and his images of Carine, Anna, Sofia, Daria, and every Conde Nast assistant worth her motorcycle bag will dot the walls of Chelsea.

If you want to spot Scott's impeccable subjects, or meet the man himself, here's all the info:

Now make sure you wear skinny jeans or tights, a navy a-line coat with metal buttons, chunky heels, and a bright one-colored cashmere scarf, and also bring your bicycle... otherwise, risk not getting photographed (eek!).

Got Her: On the corner of Little West 12th and Washington, on her way to lunch

Stalked Her: Because we've been dying to wear our high waisted wide leg jeans, but we just can't get them right in this weather.

Shot Her: Because she's pulled off a subtle, real-life take on the 70's shoot from last month's W, and we're in awe.

She Says: "I don't like to be too trendy, but I thought if I matched a quiet, billowy top with my trendier denim, it makes the look more classic. I just want to be comfortable, and still sophisticated."

We Say: Is it spring yet?!

We really love it, even though (ahem), we wrote about Kira like a month ago.

But you can't blame us for being so ahead of the curve... after all, our father is the inventor of Toaster Streudel.

We know it's a little bit early, but we already have a favorite:

The grade school-esque origami fortune teller from Band of Outsiders.

So much better than the standard hard rectangle, or the totally unexciting e-mail print-out.

Informative and cute - does it get any better?

Which is your favorite invite?

The show, developed by Candace Bushnell after her former SATC partner, Darren Starr, struck out on his own, will premiere on February 7, right in the middle of New York's runway jams. And we hear the show's PR team is taking hard advantage of the paparazzi swarming The Tents:

On January 31, the Lipstick Jungle crew (including Brooke Shields... actually, she's the only real famous person involved...) will hit Saks Fifth Avenue for a launch party - "coincidentally" timed a week before their show airs, giving US Weekly exactly seven days to harness those photos for a good cause.

We hear Ms. Shields is also confirmed for the Michael Kors show, and that producers are scrambling to arrange good photo opportunities for the other cast members, to make them seem as fashionable as possible.

That means Kim Raver could show up at Nanette Lepore or Temperley, while we hope Lindsay Price arrives at Cynthia Rowley - after all, her character, Victory Ford, is based on Ms. Rowley herself!

Dolce + Gabbana.

Ruben + Isabel Toledo.

Patrick Robinson + Virginia Smith.

Fashion relationships that have always crumbled:

Ours. And apparently, most of the Mulberry girls', too.

Since London Fashion Week happens smack on Valentine's Day this season, the handbag company's throwing a bash inside their Notting Hill store, with Hot Chip performing something boomboxed and fantastical, and everyone getting drunk instead of getting over heartbreak.

Unfortunately, we've always felt a similar attachment to boys and accessories, and since Mulberry's bags are still too expensive to snag, there will definitely be some feelings of unrequited love left in London.

Oh well - it won't be the first time.

The hit contemporary designer Alexander Wang.

Rumors are swirling that the fashion cherub is UNIQLO's next pick, after sold out collections from Phillip Lim and Alexander Plokhov (from Cloak and now Versace) arrived at stores last year.

Of course, all sources are still mum, so we're considering this a very fun rumor...

For now.

Stay tuned for more Wang reports, as the designer's second full fashion show debuts for Fall '08 in two weeks (two weeks!!!).

Not so with Alice Roi, the New York native whose collections have modest success in Bryant Park, Bloomingdale's, and Barney's.

This month, the pretty-edgy designer launches her latest venture, a Canal Street pop-up store with designer Sarah Luna.

Parked on the corner of Essex, the shop stocks Roi's usual hit list of lacy dresses, collared blouses, and a-line skirts.

It's open through Saturday from 1-9 pm, which means after you pillage an embroidered cashmere sweater, you can walk to Joe's Shanghai for the best soup dumplings ever... but not too many, or Alice's body-hugging velvet clothes won't fit right.

"What inspired me? The late conservationist Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Dundee films... And my old tattered denim jacket" - Christopher Kane, in Vogue UK.

But how will we approach this one? There's the "accessories only" route, done very well on Aussi label Willow's runway - a nice way of incorporating the look while still looking relatively normal (but then why wear neon?)

And then there's the no holds barred tactic, worn by the model at left - which, in an editorial looks pretty cool, but in real life would appear to be one Body Glove tee away from a Fresh Prince of Bel Air homage.

We think it'll depend on where we're going - a family event? Maybe some bright orange nail polish. Work thing? Electric blue top. Date with the boyfriend? Orange mini.

So what about you? Are you planning on resurrecting neon this spring? If so, will you rock it in the details or go for the full-blown effect?

(And because we aren't really taking Miuccia's man-skirts seriously).

But we just clicked through Paul Smith's A/W '08 show and realized that we've been sort of missing out.

An English dandy meets rock n' roll meets East Village hipster ensemble sounds disastrous, but Smith's pompadoured models pulled it off masterfully.

The British designer, (who also makes great women's clothes), styled an eclectic look that's both high fashion and masculine. His mix of traditional plaid with satin pants, pocket watches and skewed ties made us want the outfits, and the accessories, off the runway - for us.

And we haven't said that since our first look at Thom Browne.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Choo, the British luxury shoe brand, announced that while most retail outlets continue to suffer, their profits reached record highs last year. And last week, WWD reported that 2007 was Chanel's most profitable couture year ever.

We've noticed this trend over the last year, luxury sales growing, or at least not dropping, while the rest of the industry suffers. While analysts often attribute it to the rich getting richer, and being generally unaffected by minor economic trends, we wonder if it has something to do with the recent push to bring luxury to the masses.

We know, or at least hope, that the average fashion fan isn't saving for a couture gown, but we also know plenty of girls who skip meals for weeks to buy $600 Jimmy Choos, or pay rent late to afford $300 Tom Ford sunglasses, foregoing weeks of retail therapy at mid-range stores in lieu of one major luxury item.

If more people put their money toward a piece of the luxury market, do the levels of retail directly below suffer?
