Fashion’s Night Out is set to be bigger than ever this year, so it only makes sense that the event would tap two of the (tween) world’s biggest stars to get the word out: Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift. Seriously though, is Vogue going after the pre-teen demo now? Last season the Glee cast hyped Read more →

As has become the norm for FNO (or what is more accurately a boozy Halloween for shopping enthusiasts), come September 6, stores across NYC and Read more →
Ever notice how the waiters and ushers at fashion events are often more attractive than the guests? As you’ve probably guessed, they come from event planning companies that keep a steady roster of attractive guys and girls who are capable of carrying around trays of champagne and are often aspiring models and actors. What you Read more →

Project Runway‘s getting a new retail partnership for its 10th season; but in a way, they’re going back to the beginning. After six seasons of e-tail partnerships with Bluefly and then Piperlime, they’re going with Lord & Taylor. As you may recall, the show’s original retail sponsor when we still watched it it was on Bravo, was another department store–Macy’s. Clearly, the show is eager to go back to the old formula, and having a department store sponsor–as opposed to an e-commerce one–could be a part of that.
A retail sponsorship with Project Runway means a few things, but mainly that, throughout the season, contestants (who don’t have meltdowns and leave) will choose pieces from the Lord & Taylor accessory wall to complete their looks and that the winner of the contest will have their collection sold by the retailer.
It’s hard to say what Anna Dello Russo is better known for: What she wears on her body, or what she wears on her head.
Though she does it with more frequency, she’s not the only fashion editor wearing off-the-runway looks to events and runway shows. But she’s pretty much in a league of her own when it comes to her headgear. She even feels it’s her responsibility to keep head pieces alive, which is good for Alan Journo, the man who makes all of her hats, from those sparkly giant pieces of fruit (he commissioned them) to that Peruvian doll she wore on her head at the Prada men’s show a few weeks ago.
Journo was nice enough to let us pick his brain about his masterful ability to top fashion’s finest. Read on to learn about his long career, what it’s been like working with ADR, who really designed that famous cherry hat and more. He’s definitely a character, which must be why he and Anna get along so well!

FLORENCE–Last night Ferragamo celebrated the opening of a new exhibition devoted to all things Marilyn Monroe at the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence. Ferragamo’s exhibit comes at the tail end of a resurgence of interest in all things Marilyn kicked off by My Week With Marilyn and buoyed by the release of never before seen photos. This latest manifestation of Marilyn will surely keep interest piqued. Ferragamo got his start in Hollywood as a shoe designer to the stars, Marilyn being one of them, so the photos, costumes, shoes, and artifacts on display (like a custom order for Monroe’s shoes, or her appointment book) are impressive. But more on that later.
Ferragamo got his start with the stars so it was fitting that the brand wrangled a few for last night’s opening. The label has cleverly taken an interest in AnnaSophia Robb, aka young Carrie Bradshaw. Nineteen-year-old Robb is no stranger to the spotlight–she’s been acting for years–but she’s never been in the fashion spotlight before. And she’s about to be in a big way, as The Carrie Diaries has been picked up by the CW with Gossip Girl‘s Eric Daman doing the costumes. We chatted with the starlet about how it feels to be filling those big Manolos.
