Maison Kitsuné Puts On Its First Ever Fashion Show at Pitti W
FLORENCE–Despite having a cult following of cool kids, being stocked at Colette and Opening Ceremony, and just this year opening a store to much buzz in New York’s NoMad hotel, 10-year-old French/Japanese record label/fashion brand Maison Kitsuné had never put on a fashion show until last night.
Kenzo Mixes Food and Fashion at Pitti Uomo
FLORENCE–Food might be just as important as fashion for Carol Lim and Humberto Leon.
The hit-makers behind Opening Ceremony and, since fall 2012, Parisian house Kenzo, always find a way to incorporate food into their presentations. (For their very first Kenzo womenswear show they flew Magnolia bakers from New York to Paris to make sure every guest had a cupcake on his/her seat.) So when Pitti Uomo came calling to ask Kenzo to be the featured menswear designer at the prestigious trade show, Lim and Leon went with their guts.

Readers of this site might not be familiar with Pompilio’s work but now he’s given us ladies reason to take notice. Yesterday he presented his first ever womenswear collection.
Finally.

Tom Ford to Stage First Ever ‘Real’ Runway Show for Up to 1,000 People (Including Bloggers)
When Tom Ford’s name popped up on the official London Fashion Week catwalk schedule, we had to wonder, “What does it all mean?” Well, it means he’s doing a confirmed, honest-to-god, proper runway show–instead of his usual private, no-photos-allowed presentations–for the first time since he launched his eponymous womenswear line in 2010. Wheee!

Justin Bieber & Toned Tushies: It’s the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!
The Victoria’s Secret fashion show must go on. Despite a devastating hurricane and a snowy noreaster, the Angels took the runway last night at the 69th Regiment Armory. It was such a feat, the New York Post even put the show on its cover. Headline? “Sandy Now Snow & Ice..God Hates Us!…But We Have an Angel.”
Of course Victoria’s Secret provided angels in more ways than one this past week.

The Victoria’s Secret fashion show is being taped later today, and while we won’t get to see it in all its glittery glory until December 4 (10pm EST on CBS), the Angels (and others lucky enough to be hanging around) have been madly tweeting and Instagramming from backstage and at fittings for the last few days.
You know you want to see a close-up of Candice Swanepoel’s abs and Karlie’s new haircut.
