Proenza-envy: Kristen Stewart’s roaming the world with two heartthrobs and she’s wearing new Proenza. If we were sixteen we’d be green with jealousy over the former, but we’re positively devastated over the latter.{NYMag}

#saveluella: We wish we’d thought of this first. The Guardian’s Fashion Statement column’s composed an Ode to Luella. It says, “Luella, we will miss / The frills / The spills,” and more. {Guardian}

Shop Someone Else’s Closet: Nikki Laura, one of our favorite still-standing neighborhood boutiques, finally got online this week. She stocks Grey Ant and stingray clutches from Khirma Eliazov that we’re obsessed with. {NikkiLaura}

I Wanna Be A Super-Robot: Time’s released their list of the 50 Best Inventions of 2009; it includes a fashion robot. She’s 5’2” and 95 pounds, which sounds like Daphne Guinness’ proportions, not Lily’s.{Time}

For Serious: Selfridge’s is having a garage sale, except instead of old Easy Bake Ovens you can buy Gwyneth’s Balenciaga and Liz Hurley’s Helmut Lang. {StyleFile}

Oh the horrible things we’d do for a piece of Proenza or Valli.

Thankfully, we can keep it civil via Rent the Runway; they let you rent what you want without hassle or potential jail time.

The site’s an online community where shoppers can rent designer dresses ranging in price from $50-$200. After signing up for an invite you can browse through everything from Doo.Ri to Brian Reyes, Malandrino to Matthew Williamson which means that even though you’re determined to make it through the holidays without buying a new dress, you don’t have to wear the one you wore last year.

They’ll deliver same-day in New York City and next-day everywhere else and if that’s not easy enough, they’ll even send you two sizes on your first rental, so you don’t have to worry if your temporary Tuleh will be just right.

There goes the only-wear-once problem.

I need Style.com like I need my morning coffee.

But I’ve been clicking on Vogue.com more and more lately, in part because I’m anxiously awaiting obvious changes and excited for Condé Nast to really truly enter the digital age (I’d never actually say that out loud), but also because it lets you see a totally different side of Vogue’s editors.

Hamish has his sphere and Candy has her cast, but some features, like Meredith Melling Burke’s Most Wanted, feature a rotating cast of Vogue-ettes listing their current favorite things.

Sometimes there’s a theme, like Devon Schuster’s wedding or Jane Aldridge’s shoes and sometimes there’s not. Like this week’s list, from features associate Stephanie LaCava, is basically because she has ridiculously great style. She’s mixed Proenza shorts with Topshop boots and a Band of Outsiders toggle coat; it’s fun to see the thought process behind style we consistently admire.

Surprisingly, Vogue.com’s the best place to go if you ever forget that even the most major fashion people have a sense of humor.

Talk about statement hair. From Dame Viv to Yohji Yamamoto, dyed and powdered hairstyles have definitely captured the attention of the front row and beyond this season.

The boys behind Proenza Schouler said that they were inspired by “surfing and skating” for their most recent collection. But this apparent Nineties grunge revival in fashion has influenced more than just clothes. At their S/S show, the purple and teal hair dye made the models look like Kurt Cobain-influenced mermaids. Natural elements surfaced in Europe as well. Vivienne Westwood’s fiery orange and red hair reinforced her always eco-concious message, while the bright, earthy green hair at Comme des Garçons was just another playful feature in a generally satirical collection. And at Yohji Yamamoto, the airy powder blue dye was the crowning feature for his minimalistic designs.

One question remains: will this wild hair trend have you rethinking the color of your coiffure come Spring?

Makeup for spring is almost always lighter and dewier than its fall counterpart. But one of my favorite trends so far is the use of pastel and Easter egg shades, but in a totally non-precious way. I’m not usually one for light purples, pinks, blues, and greens in beauty. But I’m truly starting to think about them in a new light.

Hints of the purple hair streak trend had already popped up in editorials before Jack and Lazaro sent them (and green too) down the runway at Milk. The shimmery mix of shades at Derek Lam even feels slightly rock star, in a Jem and the Holograms kind of way. And the robin’s egg blue at Luella is simply cheeky and downright fun.

I’ve only just now switched into my dark and moody fall black and bordeaux phase (current obsession: MAC Resolutely Red) but I’m already excited to try something outside my normal comfort zone this spring.

Also, does this trend not have Drew Barrymore’s name written all over it?

Yesterday afternoon MAC’s John Demsey and Milk’s Mazdack Rassi hosted a panel discussion for Parsons and FIT students in the studio that was the site of so many shows this past week.

First, let us just say kudos to the two. MAC & Milk was a huge success in my opinion. It was such a more serene atmosphere than the agita-inducing tents. The staff was incredibly helpful. PR people told us it was drama-free and easy to stage their shows and presentations. There were no nightmarish elevator or temperature situations (two of our big concerns). My only real complaint was the patchy internet service I sometimes got inside on the second floor. A girl’s gotta Tweet!! But all in all, it was a job very, very well done. Let’s do it again in February!

Back to yesterday’s interesting panel, moderated by the hilarious Suzy Menkes and including Rassi, Jack & Lazaro, Humberto Leon and Caral Lim from Opening Ceremony, Parsons Dean of Fashion Simon Collins, and Alexander Wang.

Fashion Week unofficially kicked off last night in a small screening room at Norwood packed with Vogue-ettes, socialites, Rachel & Rodger & Brad, Lorenzo, Nathalie Rykiel, Jack, Lazaro, Leighton Meester, Patrick McMullan and the Trainas.

Sundance Channel screened the first episode of The Day Before, the documentary style show that follows designers for the thirty-six mad hours leading up to their runway show. It was, as past fashion documentaries have proven, hilarious, stressful and fun to watch - there’s even a bit with a dog.

Before the screening Jack swore, “We never fight,” with a twinkle in his eye.

Lazaro jumped in to clarify, “In the end, if he sees a black collection and I see white, it’ll be gray.”

Of course we’re all kinds of excited about the clothes we’re about to see next week. But I get almost equally pumped about the new hair and makeup trends I’m about to see. I love going backstage and watching the very, very best in the business do their thing on the top girls.

We just got word that we’re going backstage to get an up close and personal look at what Odile Gilbert will be concocting for Rodarte. She does the show almost every season and we are never, ever disappointed. She is to hair what the Mulleavys are to clothes. Her work is intricate, delicate and powerful all at the same time.

Francois Nars is coming back to do Marc Jacobs. No word yet on whether he’ll be creating individual looks for every girl again this season but we think it’s a very distinct possibility. Also on my ones to watch list: Diane Kendal’s makeup at Proenza Schouler, Laurent Phillippon’s hair at Rad Hourani, and Stephane Marais’ makeup at Zac Posen.

I. Can’t. Wait.

It’s like every morning brings news of a yet another fashion person on film.

While this month’s been devoted to The September Issue and we’re most looking forward to the Sundance debut of Jack & Lazaro’s documentary in two weeks, there’s an entire festival dedicated to Marc Jacobs in between.

It’s in Australia, so we can’t quite make it, but they’ve flown Bryanboy in to kick off each night of screenings on the condition he brings his BB bag (the square, ostrich one Marc made just for him for fall 08) everywhere he goes.

They’ll show, of course, Loïc Prigent’s Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton, but they’ll also screen clips from Andy Warhol’s show, Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited (Marc made the luggage), a video compilation of Marc’s runway shows and a few films to set the scene of the old New York in which Marc rose to fashion fame.

The festival runs through September 6th, so if you’re down there soak up all the Marc you can in case they can’t squeeze you into his front-row only show.

Everyone’s psyched for Fashion’s Night Out, but everyone’s worried that no one’ll actually shop - or we were worried until we saw the official PSA.

You’d be hard pressed not to break out your wallet after listening to Sarah Jessica Parker beg and watching Diddy dance his way across the screen. Anna Wintour laughs, which is becoming less unusual, and Raquel Zimmermann hangs onto Alex Wang like a monkey to a tree and they’re all SO excited.

Suddenly, it makes sense to shell out for a PS 1 if Jack & Lazaro help pick the color or splurge on Elizabeth & James when Ashley tells you what fits best - especially since the night before Fashion Week all anyone wants are new clothes. Anyway, now we think this’ll be successful, and by successful we mean lucrative.

The official PSA, above. Outtakes, after the jump!

Annabel Dexter-Jones, Model (we know, but it’s almost Fashion Week!)

Got Her: At the Chelsea Piers Lighthouse for the I Heart Ronson and JC Penney party last week.

Stalked Her: Because everyone was wearing Charlotte Ronson; she did it best and we’re a sucker for blue and orange. Plus, we’re (or I’m) seriously considering going blond and her hair is surfer perfect.

Shot Her: Because despite our strict no-models-if-not-at-Fashion-Week-rule, we couldn’t help ourselves. With the florals and the sheer and the suede and the weaving, there was a lot going on and yet it looks so easy.

She Said: “It’s all Charlotte, of course!”

We Say: You do your sister proud.

Niiiiice: Sean Avery got a job at Commonwealth Utilities. We’re really just including this so that we can post his picture. Sometimes the site’s in need of a dude and this picture’s pretty swell. {WWD}

Vroom, Vroom: Proenza’s fall shoes have landed and that shopping-for-fashion-week itch is getting harder and harder to scratch. {Shopbop}

Oscar Bound: Erin Wasson’s adding another dash after model. She’s landed a bit part - and by bit we mean her name is “Party Girl #1” - in Sofia Coppola’s new movie Somewhere. {Fashionologie}

Five Facts: If you read Fashionista and generally pay attention to fashion, you probably knew about Alexa Chung way before your friends did, but here are five more facts. Just in case. {People}

You Think You Know: Someone has something new to say about Alexander Wang; his good friend and fellow Parsons grad and Edon Manor co-owner Ryan Korban talks Brooklyn, long hair and ballroom dancing. {W}

Les Scandales: A down and dirty chronological look at the biggest fashion scandals including Armani’s tax evasion, Anna’s affair, Naomi’s tantrum and worst all, when McQueen called Givenchy “irrelevant”. {Refinery29}

The first solid details on the tentatively titled MAC at Milk shows we’ve been talking about since the cosmetics company decided to end its partnership with IMG leaving Maybelline to jump in as the official makeup sponsor at Bryant Park.

And the initial list of designers signed on for events at Milk Studios is very, very strong: Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, Peter Som, Threeasfour, Vena Cava, Band of Outsiders, Adam Lippes, Altuzarra, Barbara Tfank, Costello Tagliapietra, Erin Fetherston, Pamela Love, Preen and Temperley London.

Well, not exactly.

But Lancôme is partnering with the darling designer for the next shade in their Pout-à-Porter series. Past collaborations include ones with Behnaz Sarafpour, Thakoon, Proenza Schouler, and Peter Som.

This time around the cosmetics company is giving all you guys a chance to help name the shade (which will be worn by models at Chris’ show in September.)

If you win, you’ll also snag a $500 gift certificate and a bunch of the lipsticks which is a very good thing as all the others have sold out almost immediately. One of the Proenza Pinks even sold for over $120 on eBay!

Just head over to Chris’s Facebook fan page to post your suggestion by 5 pm EST on July 12th.

Who won big last night at the CFDAs? Here’s the full list:

Womenswear Designer of the Year: Rodarte’s Laura and Kate Mulleavy
Menswear Designer of the Year (tie): Calvin Klein’s Italo Zucchelli and Band of Outsiders’ Scott Sternberg
Accessory Designer of the Year: Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez
Swarovski Award for Womenswear: Alexander Wang
Swarovski Award for Menswear: Tim Hamilton
Swarovski Award for Accessory Design: Justin Giunta for Subversive Jewelry
International Award: Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton
Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award: Anna Sui
Eugenia Sheppard Award: Women’s Wear Daily editor-in-chief Ed Nardoza
Eleanor Lambert Award: GQ’s Jim Moore
Board of Director’s Special Tribute: First Lady Michelle Obama

For this year’s CFDA Journal portraits of the nominees, models and muses were replaced by the designers themselves.

DvF told the creative team she wanted something “fabulous” and from what we’ve seen so far, she should be very pleased.

WWD has a few of the photographs, including this one of Marc wearing his LV bunny ears and one of Jason Wu donning a gown over his suit.

Craig McDean photographed the nominees and in perhaps the most prophetic shot, captured the Proenza Schouler boys wearing their handbags as boxing gloves.

If only they’d been armed that fateful night when Kiefer Sutherland went on the attack.

This week’s been spent cursing the rain, running into Anna and struggling with what’s become a tortured love for Jack Bauer — but in our downtime, we’ve been playing Nancy Drew: Fashion Edition.

The first issue of WWWWD landed on everyone’s desk, in an anonymous, unlabeled, white envelope toward the end of New York’s AW09 Fashion Week. Everyone buzzed for a few days until focus shifted to Paris and all things recession. Then this anonymous editorial board announced they were headed online and their second issue would land post-Met Ball.

So we got curious and did some digging.

Thanks to Hollywood’s recent penchant for all things fashion - The Devil Wears Prada, Sex and the City, Confessions of a Shopaholic - names like Vivienne Westwood and Anna Wintour have made their way into the general public.

They’re in our tabloids, in Time magazine, on TV - with their own shows! - on 60 Minutes, and in Target gaining celebrity-level attention.

And now, thanks to Kiefer Sutherland’s violent head butting of one of the sweetest men we’ve ever met in fashion, and with the most delicate face to boot, everyone from TMZ to Perez Hilton to Taxi TV is learning how to pronounce Proenza Schouler.

And while the whole thing might be the most tragically ridiculous moment we’ve ever written about, it’s also going to push Jack and Lazaro over the ledge of hip beloved New York designers to international celebrities and that’s just weird.

Do you want to read about people like Chris Benz or the Vena Cava girls in US Weekly? Because we don’t.
