stamnumero.jpgStam Does Shrimpton: Everything about this shoot for Numero Korea is spot-on 60s perfection. That hair is a-maz-ing. {Models.com}

Madge’s New Girl: I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that when Madonna picks one of your dresses to wear to a Marc Jacobs show, you’re having a pretty awesome moment. Even if you have to hear about it through Facebook, like Caroline Seikaly. {Vogue Daily}

Game Night: Britain’s facing a bit of a housing crisis. To raise money 52 creative types like Damien Hirst, Vivienne Westwood, and David Bailey designed a deck of cards to support Shelter’s House of Cards campaign. Do good and play Hold ‘Em at the same time. Sounds like a plan to us. {Guardian UK}

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}

abbeyleekershawformiddaysnack.jpgModels in the BK: I’m fairly obsessed with Abbey Lee Kershaw, even though I think she spells her name wrong. Plus she likes watching fireflies in Prospect Park, which I also find to be quite lovely. {W}

The Results Are Almost In:
McKinsey’s wrapping up their work over at 4 Times Square. Sounds like the photo departments and maybe Details could be in for some bad news. {Gawker}

Congrats Dries: Van Noten is being honored right now at the by FIT’s Couture Council at a benefit luncheon. He is also not opposed to dressing Britney Spears for a tour. Who knew? {The Moment}

Not So Fast: Gen Art, the nonprofit organization known for supporting emerging designers (including at points Zac Posen, Sari Gueron and Phillip Lim) is having serious financial trouble. This tipster says, “Gen Art deserves to die.” {Gawker}

Biba-licious: Biba’s up there with Halston as one of the brands we can’t quite keep track of. It’s just been announced that online retailer Marisot will launch Biba for fall using inspiration from past collection. Um, okay. {VogueUK}

Made Over & Under: Trinny and Susannah, the British makeover artists extraordinaire, are coming to America. Actually, they’re already here, taking Eric Wilson shopping and plucking poor souls out of Times Square and into Zara, including one woman who’d never heard of Elle MacPherson. {NYTimes}

garancegirlwithatattoo.jpgAgreed, Garance: I feel the pretty much the same way about tattoos. I still want one but just can’t decide what to get. Though I’m also forever grateful I never did anything ridiculously embarrassing as a teen during the 90s. Plus, this girl’s tat is way cool. {Garance}

Rain, Rain: Style.com found some fancy people who refuse to cave in to the wettest summer in the history of mankind (okay, but it feels like it) and still wear Givenchy wedges and Jane Mayle platforms. They’re fun to look at, but we’ve given up. {Style}

Double Your Pleasure: Raquel doing the masculine and the feminine thing for JPG. Well played Inez and Vinoodh. {Modelinia}

We Love the 80s: So do KT Auleta, Brian Molloy, and Missy Rayder. See how it all came together. {Dazed Digital}

Shopping

Collector’s Items

yslvintage1stdibs.jpgToday is a rough one.

Fun wedding weekends in Cape Cod are awesome (congrats again Jenna and Ivan!) The Monday after - not so much, especially when it involves a 5 am wake up call and a six hour bus ride.

But this little nugget I found over at Vogue Daily just brightened my day: 1stDibs.com is going to start carrying clothes later this week.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the site, it’s a treasure trove of antique awesome-ness.

The furniture is to die for and they’ve been carrying jewelry and watches. But now they’ll also be offering selections from the best vintage shops in all the land.

We can’t wait…but we’re pretty sure our checking account can. Sigh.

brucewillisemmahemingWshoot.jpgDie Hard: Do you think Tallulah’s getting ribbed about these pics over at her Bazaar gig? We’re just super glad that’s not our dad doing all those things because this is definitely more uncomfortable than anything her stepdad has ever Tweeted. {W}

All Tied Up: We’ve been rocking out old school knot bracelets since Memorial Day and plan to all summer long. Behnaz has a different spin. {Elle }

Thank You Selma: Charivari creator Selma Weiser passed away this weekend. We have her to thank for giving Marc his first fashion job and basically reinventing merchandising and retail. {WWD}

This is…Fashionair: Manager and producer Simon Fuller (he of American Idol and Spice Girls fame) is taking his wily media ways to the internet in September by way of a fashion website called Fashionair. Will VB be blogging? {Grazia}

Quote of the Day

“I, for one, am over the mania for the high, high heel. Too many career women look like a herd of fashion beasts, aping one another in impractical shoes.” —Andre Leon Talley on the death of the towering heel.
Quote of the Day

“Perhaps I spend too much time in Manhattan, but it was remarkable to see room after stately room where the vast majority of the ladies of a certain age (dressed with almost antebellum elegance and some Bulgari bijoux I imagined Ms. Triossi might have been keen to secure for her exhibition) had eschewed interventions of a cosmetic surgical kind. They looked, incidentally, just as they should have looked—hieratic and marvelous.” —Hamish Bowles, of course, in The HamishSphere.
Quote of the Day

“It was so thronged that at a certain point I found myself jostling a pretty young thing who had perched on a low banquette at my feet. She was wearing a baby doll dress and cut-off leggings, with a tumble of blonde hair and perfect pale skin, and I wondered which new London girl in town this might be. Quel surprise to discover that it was in fact Madonna.” —Hamish Bowles at Friday’s Steven Klein bash.

The Blog Moves Up at Fashion Week

front row not bloggers.jpgThere was a mini-debate going on in the comments section of a Paris post.

One person decreed that blogs aren’t press and therefore shouldn’t sit in the press section of a show while another pointed out that we obviously aren’t buyers which together puts us in a rather awkward category. Blogs are, according to most publicists, considered press, and our seating assignment is usually a testament to that classification.

However, this season we noticed a new seating trend pop up. For the first time, those reporting for blogs and magazines’ online departments were often seated together which meant we had daily run-ins with reporters from Elle.com, Papermag.com, Glamour.com, Showstudio, DazedDigital, Fashionologie and more.

For example, at Marios Schwab, bloggers had their own Front Row section (alongside the Conde section, the ELLE section, etc), which created a real commune-style discussion of, “Well, I can’t report this for my site, but you totally should use what I heard earlier!” Fun, and certainly effective for spilling your thoughts onto Twitter in mere minutes.

Which makes us wonder, are the days of acting like bloggers aren’t real media members finally over? Because it looks like they are, at least in fashion. Especially now, when major editors from The Times are tweeting and Vogue editors like Filipa Fino are writing for Vogue Daily and WWD posts multiple times a day. We’re just saying, the line is getting awfully blurry.

Fashion Is Fun
