We have it on good authority that Marc Jacobs didn't love his Friday night lights last season, and he'll be moving his show back to its traditional time slot, on Monday night at 7 pm / 8 pm / 9 pm / 4 am / your guess is as good as ours.

Marc and Robert Duffy famously pushed their show forward to the last Friday of February's Fashion Week, in order to give themselves more time to finish the collection. In fact, their latest show started so promptly that editors who were even 10 minutes late to the spectacle got shut out of the production, which included a lot of cable knit cream stuff, and also Sonic Youth performing.

It'll be fun to see when the show starts this season, but there's one thing for certain:

Everyone will show up promptly 10 minutes before the show says it will start, even if it ends up running much later.

And as usual, we are already so stoked.

During fashion week, we saw them on the feet of our favorite fashion editors, the youngest models and the most dolled up socialites.

So we're pretty sure most of the fashion pack and then some are super familiar with the shoe. And therefore, we're wondering who Oscar de la Renta thinks will buy his $665 version?

Sure they're gold, and have studded markings instead of actual metal studs, but, well, you get it.

It used to be impossible to hear your favorite models speak, unless of course you were so embedded in the fashion crowd that your best friends had names like Linda and Cindy.

But now that snippets of Tanya, Daria, Coco and co. keep popping up on the internet, we can't get enough.

Miss Rocha sat down for an interview at Toronto's Fashion Week last night, and, well, we like her more with each and every word.

She says hi and waves to herself on TV, exaggerates her vowels, and maybe even makes a dig at Karlie Kloss' death walk, all in good fun of course.

Now if only Ali would film a video at her local rodeo.

Suzy Menkes' new video just went up on IHT's website.

In it, Menkes declares, "There's only one icon who mattered in Paris this season, and that was Amy Winehouse."

She takes us on a whirlwind tour of the runways, from the beehives at Dior to the cat-eyes at Commes Des Garçons and attributes fashion's interest in the cracked out singer to Karl Lagerfeld's initial fascination with her retro look.

The best part is when Menkes informs the audience that Winehouse's most popular song is called "Rehab." And that in that song "she sings, "No, No, No," but the fashion world is saying 'Yes, Yes, Yes'."

Well, it's almost over now, but it's been highlighted by celebu-spawn designs by Lauren Conrad and Nicky Hilton, and front row appearances by Sean William Scott and Jenna Jameson (No love from Lisa Love, LC?). Even as an LA native, intern Jazzi has to admit she has never paid much attention to the West Coast mini to-do, and never had the urge to go hang outside of Culver City's Smashbox Studios or sneak into shows like she might consider for Bryant Park (Though this season Erin Fetherston did host a party she would have liked to attend).

We think the fact that the Pussycat Dolls' lingerie line showed in the closing slot says a lot about the way things go in LA. Well, that and the fact that LA's most notable talents, Monique Lhullier and Jenni Kayne, show in New York.

We get that LA is not a "Fashion Capitol" and more of a "Lifestyle City", but as hard as it tries to be legitimate, we wish we could expect a little bit more. We know there's a lot of talent to be had. After all, LA did give us the Olsens, Jenny Lewis, Santino, Jeffrey, and Rami.

Still, every season we wonder if LA will finally get its day in the fashion spotlight... but then we get back to daydreaming at the beach.

Style.com just posted this video of Coco Rocha and her driver Phillipe.

It follows the pair around the city of lights during a night of Autumn/Winter '08 Fashion Week.

Coco's at the Eiffel Tower, Coco practices her French with her Mom, Coco likes ice cream, Coco kisses everyone.

She's adorable, eloquent and has an excellent French accent.

We'd drive her anywhere.

Well, yeah.

I'm still loving my life-changing wooden platforms and now I'm even looking forward to their clothes.

We previewed their Spring/Summer collection last night: It's kind of tough, kind of girly, and actually kind of chic. The fabrics even felt really nice.

The mini denim shorts, sequin tanks, slick black trench coats and sheer metal cardigans hit stores in June accompanied by subtly studded sandals.

The red, ruffly dress and perfectly high-waisted floral skirt should be in stores right in time for the Fourth of July.

The only problem? We really want it all now.

Check out some choice pieces after the jump.

It's impossible to get a Balenciaga show ticket.

This eye-rolling bit of protocol was cheerily reported by the New York Times, and it caused a minor flip-out.

First, Balenciaga swore they'd never gotten a ticket request from Kanye.

Then Kanye politely assured them they did, via an official post on his website:

"I totally love and respect any designer that won't let me come 2 there show... it's their show... they don't owe me anything... Balenciaga is one of the illest lines right now and I don't feel any type of way about not getting in!

"There's always a catch 22 in being a celeb ... your motives are always questioned... but only time will show my true love MY FIRST LOVE is for fashion and I appreciate just being in a position 2 afford 2 be able 2 spend a week in Paris visiting shows. I wish everyone could have this experience, the new music you hear, the new people you meet and most of all the beautiful clothes! I understand that some designers don't want all that unnecessary commotion at there shows, that's what I mean by 'I get a lot of attention.' "

Although in the grand scheme of things, Kanye does get more attention than Balenciaga, so maybe they could squeeze him in next to Charlotte Gainsbourg...

Sonia Rykiel beat Luella Bartley and Chloe as our favorite collection of the season. Why? Because she somehow chucked both Tinlsey Mortimer and Courtney Love on the runway, as incarnated by Siri T. and Heidi Mount.

Close and shocking second place: Chanel.

That Derek will host Mary Kate and Ashley, plus The MisShapes and the misfits and Ben Cho and Lily Donaldson, at a Paris party this Sunday.

The bash is also thrown by Opening Ceremony (the store responsible for Chloe Sevigny's line) and GrandLife NYC (even though we're in Paris). It's at Paris Paris, which is probably one of the most fun places we've danced in the whole world.

If you're in Paris, zoom on down.

Oh, and Derek's not the only one holding court this week:

Today, Alexander McQueen and his posse headline the notorious Don't Tell My Booker bash, which is usually a coke-fueled streak of "Oh my gosh, I can't believe I did that" - albeit, not for the models walking in Lanvin, etc, on the weekend.

Brett: Really? It impressed me!

Britt: If a woman were to actually wear these clothes, Carine and Jennifer Connelly aside, she would look so scary, almost like a modern day warrior. The shoes practically look like weapons! Chic weapons, of course. The clothes are stunning, but more so as pieces of art, not something to actually put on your body.

Brett: But don't you think the Balenciaga Runway is like a petri dish for ideas? Nicolas pushes fashion forward, and to quote one of my favorite Cathy Horyn-isms, “adjusts the eye”. Also, what is the Balenciaga customer if not an urban warrior? All those curved seams, studs - for crying out loud, the house was rebuilt on a motorcycle bag!

Britt: The runway might be a platform on which to present an idea instead of necessarily wearable clothes, but shouldn't we at least aspire to wear that idea, especially if it's supposed to be Ready to Wear?

Brett: Leave all the subsidiary Balenciaga lines to give women something to wear, but let the seasonal shows provide clothes for the daring and the bored!

Discuss!

-Last year, I dragged my entire family to her exhibition at San Francisco's DeYoung Museum. They were confused but they played along.

-I once announced to the office that I'd wear absolutely anything and everything by Dame Vivienne. (In truth I'd probably only wear 90% of it, but I'll still admire the last 10%.)

Case in point: From yesterday's collection, I'd have to say no to the fur suit - look 23 - and the stilts. But I'd happily don the rest, (minus the face paint).

Her dresses and jackets - made of sharp folds and eloquent draping - look more like sculptures than clothing. Last night, they were painted by second grade students instructed to explore a jungle-warrior theme. It made me want to take a paintbrush to my summer dresses from last year, but since they aren't Vivienne in the first place I know they'd look ridiculous.

I don't know how she makes jungle-warrior-English-pirate-ripped-bulky clothes with sashes look so amazing - but she does. And I love her for it.

I knew just from passing the window on the street that this flowy, yellow and white checked top was the exact degree of light handed pretty that I wanted to project that particular summer. I have been one of her devoted followers ever since.

A sign that we're fashion soul mates? She made the exact top that I have been searching endlessly for - tan and almost-red, plaid, but only subtly (look 33.)

I don't hear enough about Isabel Marant over here. I'm not sure why - her clothes are so perfectly wearable, and not at all in the boring sense.

Couldn't you see the dress at left on a 75-degree day?

Looks like the runways have taken a cue from Balenciaga's florals- they've blossomed even bigger at Marchesa, Blumarine, and Benjamin Cho for Fall. Now we have an urge to go home and watch the Secret Garden...
