Marc Jacobs usually prefers a kilt or a sheer lacy dress for events, but he switched it up this season by wearing PJs for his runway finale walks. This did not go unnoticed by Vogue‘s Andre Leon Talley, himself a proponent of comfortable luxury.
A discussion between Talley and Jacobs on the awesomeness of pajamas follows which is… awesome.
You’ve seen all the amazing collections from New York fashion week, but what about what happens after the models and editors and bloggers go home? Welp, here’s the thing: They don’t go home. They PARTY.
Karen Walker’s new eyewear look book features Advanced Style ladies Ilona Royce Smithkin, Linda Rodin, Joyce Carpati, and Lyn Dell, and it’s pretty much the best campaign ever.
We sat down with Royce Smithkin and Rodin, who sat front row at Walker’s show yesterday, to get the scoop on how they became models, and what they thought of Walker’s latest collection.
This is absolutely the best gift we could have been given at the tail end of a long New York Fashion Week.
Snoop Lion on getting French tips: “It’s about being spooned and groomed, dipped and whipped, suited and booted, gooted and looted, scuttered and buttered.”
Read on for more highlights.
Peter: Snowstorms are so in right now, oh my god they’re so chic.
Harry: They’re hot.
More of this, this way…
Yep, Tavi Gevinson interviewed Lena Dunham for Garage, which makes so much sense. Click through to find out which Girls character Dunham would kill off if she had to.
Sometimes it can feel like there’s no group more jaded than the fashion pack. But when you turn Pier 57 into an indoor carnival, complete with rides, games, and food trucks–like they did last night for the Prabal Gurung for Target launch party–well, it’s pretty hard to feign boredom.
Seriously, guys, is the line in the shitter or what?
Beyoncé put a new designer on the map last night.
For her Super Bowl halftime spectacular, she and everyone else on stage wore costumes by New York-based designer Rubin Singer–not Givenchy, not Mugler, but 34-year-old Rubin Singer, whose eponymous line is just six years old. Cathy Horyn’s story in the New York Times, breaking the news that Singer had designed Beyoncé’s costumes for the Super Bowl was headlined, “Hey, Beyoncé, It’s Your Look, but Maybe His Moment.” Based on the buzz Singer is getting today (his publicist tells us the phone has been ringing off the hook and there’s an increased interest in Singer’s fall/winter 2013 presentation next week), we’d say it’s definitely his moment.
We hopped on the phone with Singer just before he left New Orleans less than an hour ago. He told us how he’s feeling, how he kept it all a secret, and what he hopes to do with the exposure.
Sunday night, Girls introduced the world (outside of downtown NYC) to AndrewAndrew, the HBO show’s first real cameo by a New York personality. Well, two of them, technically. Last night, we caught up with the Andrews about Girls, Lena Dunham, and some of the challenges of dressing alike every single day.
Oh and why watching the risque show with your mom (which we’ve done) is like, according to one Andrew, “watching glory hole porn with your family.”
“No, it’s like watching Schindler’s List with…Germans,” countered the other Andrew.

He may not be a household name, but renowned architect Peter Marino has played a key role in shaping the image of some of the world’s top luxury brands, designing stores for the most elite names in the business. He’s the man behind any Louis Vuitton, Dior, or Chanel boutique that you’ve ever visited.
So it makes perfect sense that the Financial Times invited Marino to speak at the dinner portion of last week’s FT Business of Luxury Summit at the Plaza Hotel. There, clad in his signature all-leather duds, he sat down in discussion with the paper’s fashion editor Vanessa Freidman to speak about the notable artwork he’s commissioned for his bespoke boutiques. “I think luxury brands want people to equate anything exquisite in life with their product,” Marino said of the reasoning behind his design hallmark.
Lyons addresses the speech, in which she acknowledged her relationship with Courtney Crangi, for the first time, saying,
It’s just as surprising to me as it probably is to everyone else. It certainly is strange to wake up, at 44, and look at the person next to you and think: ‘Oh! This wasn’t what I expected.’ But I don’t think love works that way, and I am O.K. with that.
Mickey Drexler also weighed in.
