Autumn Bottom: Whether fall makes you think of fashion or of crunchy leaves, both visions probably come in the same color palette. Hillary and Katherine take layering to the max in their fall fashion editorial. {WWW}

On the Job: Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, former director of special events for Vogue, just landed a new position. She’ll be the director of Fashion Week for Lincoln Center when it moves in September 2010, “consulting on internal and external coordination between Lincoln Center and the fashion industry.” But the question is, who can she steal back from MAC? {FWD}

Still Haunting: Alison Sarofim’s Halloween party brings out fashion’s best and brightest. This year’s theme was downtown New York circa 1980’s; Marc and Lorenzo were dutifully costumed while Valentino opted for a spot-on Valentino look. {VanityFair}

Joy to Your Feet: Loeffler Randall’s resort collection just landed on their website this morning. Jessie Randall found inspiration in the children’s book Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni and you can also find the booties from Costello’s show. {LoefflerRandall}

At the end of August, we wrote an Adventures in Copyright begging Alexander McQueen to do something about Steve Madden’s blatant copies.

Some of you agreed, one commenter asked, “Do you think McQueen cares this much?” To which of course we’d heartily answer yes.

So you can imagine, or try to, how high we jumped for joy when this morning, WWD announced that McQueen’s suing Madden.

The suit, filed in Manhattan October 1, calls Madden’s Seryna bootie a “studied imitation” of McQueen’s Faithful and points out, like we did, that the only detail missing is McQueen’s trademarked skull zipper. In exchange for Madden’s attempts to profit off of the Brit’s “widespread media attention,” they’re asking for an injunction, profits and payment of legal fees.

Now if we could just get Messieurs Blahnik and Louboutin on the case, throw in Tamara Mellon’s attitude, Jessie Randall’s charm and Marc’s spunk, this could be the most fashionable class action lawsuit ever.

We had breakfast with Loeffler Randall this morning, aka our brand crush.

They’ve finally launched their own website and we kind of understand why it took so long - they wanted to make it perfect. So now, instead of going to a Loeffler Randall store (which they swear you’ll be able to do someday), you can shop from anywhere, whenever you like.

The site houses their whole shoe and apparel collection, as well as exclusive color ways and fabrics. It also features a blog, written by Jessie and co., music, the fall campaign (the video above documents the shoot) and phone numbers so you can actually call and ask someone to help you choose the right booties - these are Jessie’s (and our) favorites.

Just thought we’d give you one more way to pass the slowest of summer hours.
