We’re pretty sure we could listen to Iris Apfel talk, or just stare at her, all day. She is just such a fascinating creature–a fact she proves yet again in a video interview with Advanced Style’s Ari Seth Cohen for The Avant Garde Diaries.
Until we get our hands on Grace Coddington’s new memoir (Leah’s currently reading it), we’ll settle for poring over the press surrounding the book, for which she says she was “media trained,” but still lets out some good stuff.
She spoke to the New York Times and the Telegraph about the book, her cats, Anna Wintour, her legion of adoring fans post- The September Issue, her friend Nicolas Ghesquiere, who should play her in a movie and why young designers need to have “a few things going wrong in their life.” Read on to obsess over her with us:
She also taught the Access Hollywood hosts how to “bitchface.”
While Schmidt may be the most irritating character on Fox sitcom The New Girl (or on any show ever), it turns out he’s actually a super awesome person IRL. His tweets are hilarious and apparently he occasionally guest edits Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP. If that fact alone is not enough to convince you of his awesomeness, this hilarious column he wrote for GOOP about his Emmys experience–in which we learn about his love of Tom Ford, Thom Browne, Gwyneth and more–will.
Hurricane Sandy paralyzed the East Coast and most of New York City over the last few days, causing massive destruction and shutting down pretty much everything. But not even Sandy could stop Bill Cunningham, the New York Times‘s intrepid octaginarian and original street style photog, from getting on his bike and seeking out stylish ladies and gents.
Women’s issues and women voters are key in this upcoming election. And the fashion industry, dominated by women, hasn’t been shy about getting involved.

Tavi Gevinson’s there, and so is Alexa Chung, Lena Dunham, Leith Clark, Karen Elson and many more. Who else can you spot?
Here are 10 amazing things we learned from Grace Coddington’s memoir, from that time she found a condom on her pillow to her thoughts on being called ‘cod’ as a young model.
Iris Apfel and other Advanced Style street style stars went on Today to talk to Matt Lauer about staying stylish and not wearing “widows’ weeds.”
Victoria Beckham couldn’t wait to tweet the final result of her shoot with Karl Lagefeld at Coco Chanel’s apartment. We’d be pretty excited about that, too.
We caught up with Swedish superstar blogger Elin Kling at last night’s Acne Paper party. Read on to find out what she had to say about her design aspirations. Party pics of beautiful people like Alexa Chung and Sofia Coppola included.
For anyone who’s ever felt insecure about the lack of time you spent raging in out-of-town parents’ basements as a teen, Harry Brant is here tell you everything is OK: You didn’t spend most of your Friday nights watching TGIF alone because you were uncool–there just hadn’t been a Chanel soiree to attend! High school parties aren’t worth the energy.
“High school parties — I’m like, ‘Okay, that’s not how I do fun anymore,’” the littler Brant Brother told The Cut.
Last week, Lena Dunham tried out the pajama trend (we think), in a longish teal silk blouse paired with matching tap shorts.
While those who have watched Lena Dunham’s HBO show Girls or her film Tiny Furniture have already seen Dunham in several pantsless looks, some people found her thigh-revealing outfit last week inappropriate, and even offensive. It inspired several news outlets to write headlines like, “Did Lena Dunham Forget Her Pants?” etc.
So the Girls‘ creator responded to her critics the best way she knows how: with her (hilarious) words.
