This morning brings a boatload of news in the digital and iPhone application world. Gucci’s launched their free app which includes personal playlists from Frida and Mark Ronson, a feature where you can play DJ and mix your own beats, and of course lookbooks and news from the design house.

Every week seems to bring another designer entering the application marketplace, but props to Gucci for consulting with Mark Ronson to give theirs a bit more individuality. And, hey, it’s free.

What won’t be free is the application that Condé Nast is launching for GQ in mid-November for $2.99 on iTunes. WWD reports that it will be a fully-translated version of the magazine, and also offer up a wide range of new platforms and possibilities for advertisers. The technology that created it was actually developed in-house at Condé, will be used across other titles, and can be adapted for any sort of e-reader that comes along. (We’re assuming that means Barnes and Noble’s The Nook, which was unveiled yesterday and even has a fashion spin with designer covers by Kate Spade, Jack Spade, and Jonathan Adler.)

My Favorite Martian: Daria returned to the runways this morning at Balmain. And apparently, the alien-like beauty of Tanya D. will grace us with its presence once again very soon. We missed your boundless energy backstage in New York, Miss T! {Fashin}

LSD’s Burial Outfit?: Apparently it may be a Julian Louie dress. And yes, that’s vaguely morbid. But we still love the commentary on the Vogue-ette’s Fashion Week choices. {StyleFile}

Copping To It: The Nina Ricci relaunch tonight in Paris will be a low-key affair. Our desire to see what Peter does, still anything but low-key. {FWD}

Super Models! Paris gets all Comic-Con with their show packages. Iselin, Vlade, Hanne Gaby, and Iris will save the world from evil henchmen! {Fashionologie}

Panty Raid: Eric Wilson’s number three trend of NYFW, Spanx. Well, really briefs, outside the clothes. Linda Wells finds it “perfectly insane”. We’ll respectfully agree to disagree. {NY Times}

To Milan They Go: Apparently it’s sweltering, but Mr. Armani really brought the goods to kick things off. Think flouncy dresses and lots of flats. And then came the D&G cowgirls. Yee-haw! {Joe Zee’s Twitter}

Hair God: Bumble’s Jimmy Paul is often the person behind the runway’s coolest hairstyles. You’ve probably copied something he created more than once. Here’s how he spent NYFW. {Vogue Daily}

Pringle threw their return to London party at the Saatchi gallery on Monday night.

They didn’t just present their Spring/Summer 2010 collection, but also debuted a short film by Ryan McGinley and starring Tilda Swinton. It featured the mythical looking actress running across the Scottish Highlands, climbing castle walls, sneaking through tunnels and eventually disappearing into the ocean - all while wearing a long, flowing gown.

We stood in a white room while it projected onto two opposite walls and since everyone was facing different directions it was perfectly acceptable to alternate watching the gorgeous film with catching Tilda and Ryan hug or staring at Cecilia Dean’s shoes or checking out the details on Mark Ronson’s suit.

When the show did start, in yet another super long white room, the clothes were easy - in a good way. Clare Waight Keller showed chunky knits over slinky t-shirt dresses, crocheted dresses layered over slips, sheer tops with trenches, slouchy pants and crinkled metallic shorts.

They’ve come a long way from inventing the twinset.

These days we all know the last name Ronson draws a crowd, though sometimes an unwanted paparazzi-type one. But not today, at least for the most part. Though there was some serious seating drama for a hot second, everything got figured out and Charlotte sent her clothes down the runway to tunes compiled by her twin sister.

Brother Mark, Byrdie Bell, Becka Diamond, Russell Simmons and his nieces Angela and Vanessa, Joe Zee, Brooklyn Decker, Tinsley Mortimer (in I Heart Ronson from JCPenney), and Olivier Zahm took it all in from the front row. The consensus in our section, and from many others we overheard while squeezing ourselves out the door, was that this was by far Charlotte’s best collection.

There were “Let’s Get Physical” braided headbands, thigh-length leggings/tights with well-placed runs, tons of the shorts (in leather and jersey) that the designer herself so often wears, and an army jacket/anorak that I must have if it kills me. Plus, lots of one-shouldered action. It’s all happening on that front, people. Embrace it.

Mark and Samantha Ronson have obviously caught the design bug from their sister Charlotte (and maybe Sam’s getting ideas from Lindsay?), as both have entered the fashion game in the footwear division. First we heard about Sam’s high-tops for Supra. They’re tough and cool in black leather with a gold stripe, and are now available at Factory 413.

Now, WWD has reported that Mark is designing for Gucci’s planned traveling sneaker pop-up store. It’ll be coming our way this October, with the first location in SoHo, then jetting away to Miami Beach, London, Paris and Tokyo, among others. For each location, he’ll be designing a different unisex shoe.

At Bathing Ape’s party Friday night, celebrating the re-launch of their London store, we saw door pandemonium at 24 Kingly Street reach a new level. That could be because BAPE has perhaps the most ferociously loyal following in the world - and has proven that if you have a bullet proof business plan (they do) then a recession only causes nick marks.

Now, what could really hurt though is trying to get in though the doors of a party given by a company whose mantra is “ape shall not kill ape.” We were pretty sure we saw some trying to do just that. Oh, and we feel rather victorious that we did make it in, given that even Leonardo DiCaprio and Michelle Williams (the Destiny’s Child one) tried ahead to do just that — and were thwarted.

“In fact, the best wardrobe disguise a banker can adopt on Tuesday is probably the Mark Ronson look, aka the ironic Hoxton suit. Ideally it should consist of a brilliantly boring cardigan, neatly buttoned and worn with a skinny-ish tie and narrow-fit trousers. All the better if you can accessorise with a pair of nerdy glasses. It’s a little bit Matthew Horne, and not especially on-trend, but it suggests that you shop at Topman, and not Thomas Pink.” - the Guardian’s style suggestions for London bankers looking to blend in during the G20 summit next week, a sartorial move suggested by the city’s police.

It’s really hard to concentrate on a show when Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are in the DJ booth and Mark Ronson and his new girlfriend are sitting across the aisle and you feel like you’re living in Perez Hilton.

But we finally peeled our eyes away and focused them on the runway for Charlotte’s Fall show.

Dark lipstick, again! Tight ponytails and some very serious Pretty Woman leather lace-up boots. There were lots of little dresses - it’s Charlotte Ronson, after all - jumpsuits, bolero jackets, tight tight pants and some of the western flair we saw this morning at Yigal (more on him soon).

There were cut out shoulders - which we saw later at Shipley & Halmos - and shearling vests and jackets belted over ruffled dresses.

It was a lot, it was fun, it was a little scarier than expected.

And please, excuse Lindsay in the corner of nearly all our photos.

“Umpteenth time around, arguably the only trick that would have made BS look more try-hard and ultimately conventional would have been if she had got Mark Ronson to produce her record.” - Hadley Freeman, on the Beyonce/Sasha Fierce (BS) style change, in the Guardian.

Dear Charlotte Ronson,

We’d only get out of bed early on this yucky tropical storm Hanna day for you.

And only because your show is more like going to a party than going to work, and because secretly, we just knew Lindsay Lohan would be sitting front row looking so pretty.

We didn’t know Daisy Lowe’d be walking and Jessica Stam would be sitting front row. It was a nice twist but next time you should have Stam teach Daisy how to walk before the show.

Also, we really liked the clothes. Pink, girly and perfectly rough around the edges - love the sheer layering, sweater dresses and chain jewelry.

We’re still singing the songs your brother/Daisy’s boyfriend played all morning. So thanks for the CD and super cute tote bag!

IMG’s celebrity-model roster is minus one.

A spokesperson just confirmed a rumor that the agency parted ways with Gavin Rossdale spawn and British It-Girl, Daisy Lowe, just seven months after signing her post New York Model Management.

As far as London’s concerned, she’s sticking with Women, but no word on where she’s headed in New York.

But there’s no bad blood between her and IMG, in fact, the spokesperson added, “She’s a beautiful girl and we wish her well”.

Which means there’s no juicy story behind the split, though we wonder why she’d leave a top agency just as her star is rising state side.

Maybe she figures her Ronson relationship will be enough?
