So when the invites to Erin Fetherston read “Chelsea Girl” I jumped for joy; when Velvet Underground came on the soundtrack, a giant smile swept across my face. But something was missing from the ’60s Nico vibe I knew I was supposed to feel. Even with the [...]

Last month’s New York Times article made Zac Posen’s AW10 show seem extra important. His Target collection hits stores in couple of months, but can he make his own line work?

7:35 Hop out of cab, into snow, past the barriers and into a giant cardboard box. 7:40 Find a spot. On the way, I hear the girls have been ready for two hours and have very bare faces. 7:45 Marc’s afterparty? For staff only.

Dear Richard, Thanks so much for dragging us out of bed on this frigid Manhattan morning! Really, we would’ve slept through Donna Karan at 2pm if it wasn’t for you (we were out a bit late last night). We’re sorry many of your invitees weren’t as appreciative. Sure, lots of no-shows after Tuesday’s preview at [...]
