Fashion’s Night Out: The Madness That is About to Ensue

We cannot believe Fashion’s Night Out is really here. Something like a thousand shopping events are actually happening. Tonight. And they all sound amazing and, in New York, whether they’re uptown or downtown, you probably want to go to all of them. While that is simply unrealistic, we are getting some help from Volkswagon, who are providing us with a fancy new 2011 Jetta to transport us and our shopping bags around what in a few short hours will be a total shitshow of a city.

Jealous? Don’t be – From now until 12:00 a.m., shoppers can visit two Volkswagen Style Express locations for a ride uptown or downtown in the all-new 2011 Jetta: 50th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues; and Greene Street between Spring and Prince Streets. If these end up running smoothly and often, it’s probably your best bet if you want to play ping pong at Barneys before getting a manicure at the Soho Chanel store.

Blue Eye Stock Plummets, Long Legs Up 3%

This is borderline creepy and definitely strange, but we have to share. There’s a website called Beautyholdings.com. It calls itself an “online talent incubator (eCubator)” and allows you to invest in aspiring models. We use the term “model” lightly because these girls look more likely to appear in a Frederick’s of Hollywood catalog than a Read more →

Models

Changes on the Runway

We know more than a few of you have already noticed the models at the Dsquared¬≤ show this week. In reverse of how shows usually go, the majority of the models were black, with just a couple majorities. Now, there’s a delightful rumor on COACD, that next week’s Lanvin show will have an “all ethnic” Read more →
