The Neon Pants Lady from Jason Wu Gets Her Own Meme
Late last night, we got a funny email from a tipster pointing out that Style.com had gone to the trouble of turning a particularly, uh, noticable pair of neon green pants front row at Jason Wu into a visually-inoffensive pair of khakis.
Now they’re a meme.

Fashion Week Mad Libs with Tracy Reese!
Tracy Reese has received the ultimate stamp of approval from First Lady Michelle Obama–and first daughter Sasha. She can’t get through fashion week without her team (but a lot of coffee helps, too).

How to Avoid the Flu If You Work In the Fashion Industry
Today, the New York Times published what is maybe the most hilarious pre-Fashion Week story ever about something that isn’t actually supposed to be that hilarious: The flu.
Let’s just say the fashion world’s idea of flu prevention is a little different from the rest of the world’s.

Love, the L Train, and What I Wore: One Direction to Dating Hell
Ever since we hired Nora as an intern (and then made her a permanent fixture here), the new-New Yorker has regaled us with her sometimes sad, sometimes unbelievable, but always hilarious “only in New York Williamsburg” dating stories. We figured you should get to hear them, too. So we’ve asked her to share her trials and tribulations as a single 20-something trying to bag that elusive not-too-hipstery non-asshole–and coordinate the perfect outfit to go with. Taking some inspiration from that other Nora, the legendary Ms. Ephron, we present, “Love, the L Train, and What I Wore.”
I met this guy last spring at a basement dive bar in NoHo. Out one night with some former coworkers, just, like, celebrating the joys of being young and free and whatever else twenty-five year old girls are supposed to spend their Saturday nights celebrating in New York, I spotted him: Blond, deep V, awful shorts, maybe cute, maybe not… too tall to tell.

Chanel Couldn’t Make the French Mani Cool Again–But Snoop Dogg Lion Can
Back in October, we asked the question: After years of increasingly complicated nail art trends, could Chanel make the basic French manicure cool again? Now, three months later, we think we finally have the answer. No, Chanel could not revive the fallen French mani. But Snoop Dogg Lion can.

Fashion Hearts National Spaghetti Day
Happy National Spaghetti Day! (Yes, this is really a thing.) For a supposedly carb-phobic industry, fashion seems to like spaghetti. A lot. Especially Terry Richardson. So we made this little collage to celebrate.

Yo! An Incomplete History of Fashion Name-Dropping in Rap
Rap lyrics that sound like they’re rattling off the Fashion Month schedule are pretty much par for the course, and this trend can be traced all the way back to the beginnings of the genre. Lately, though, the caliber of the designers mentioned — and the frequency with which they’re mentioned — seems to be at an all-time high.
We decided to take a look back at some of rap’s most well known fashion name-drops over the years (with a little help from the boys from Rap Genius), from the requisite Versace shout-outs of the past, to the more recent inclusion of greats like Alexander McQueen and Isabel Marant. Read on to see the evolution–we bet that we’ll have you singing along by the end.
