How the Fashion Industry Prepped for Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy is upon us–but the fashion industry isn’t letting this Frankenstorm bring them down.

We checked in with some of our favorite people in the industry–from The Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine to Kelly Cutrone to DKNY PR Girl Aliza Licht–to find out how they prepped for tonight’s storm. For an industry that’s supposed to shun carbs we are collectively loaded up on them–as well as candy, nail polish, and fashion mags to read by scented candle light.

Click through to see how everyone is getting ready.

And above all, everybody stay safe!!

Fashion’s Night Out: Where The Major Designers Will Be

Fashion’s Night Out is two weeks from tomorrow! There is more going on than we can even wrap our heads around. Having trouble deciding where you want to go and who you want to see the most?

Well, if you’re interested in catching a peak of one of your favorite designers, here’s a roundup of where some of the biggest and the best will be on September 10. We’ve excluded most of the people we’ve already reported on. Also, it’s almost safe to say that if someone isn’t on this list, they will probably be at Barneys.

Michael Kors
Michael will be at his lifestyle store on Madison and 61st in New York City. He will be joined by TONY Award winner Idina Menzel, whom Michael will accompany on a selection of songs. Michael will also make an appearance nearby at Bloomingdale’s 59th street, where the “World of Michael” will be created to kick off a new Michael Kors handbag shop-in-shop.

Tommy Hilfiger

Tommy will be kicking off FNO and his brand’s 25th anniversary at Macy’s Herald Square. As we’ve reported, Macy’s will house “The Ultimate Tailgate Party” as inspired by Tommy’s most recent ad campaign. Tommy will be accompanied by Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren. He will also make an appearance at his Fifth Avenue store, where shoppers can have their purchases personalized with an exploding monogram while they shop, listen to DJ Toddlerone and drink up.

Jewelry Making at Camp Fenton Fallon
Fashion Is Fun

Jewelry Making at Camp Fenton Fallon

Last night Dana Lorenz of Fenton Fallon dumped out her precious craft box to let fashion bloggers have a go at creating their own Fenton Fallon-ish necklaces.

The tables were lined with all the bits and baubles that go into making that one-of-a-kind Fenton Fallon jewelry we love: heavy strips of chain in neon colors, fat strands of pearls, scraps of rhinestone costume jewelry, and much much more. It was overwhelming. Luckily there were martinis on hand (because there’s nothing like a martini for making working with tiny jewelry pliers easier).

Alex Wang, Marc Jacobs, Up for Big CFDAs

Alex Wang, Marc Jacobs, Up for Big CFDAs

Nadja Swarovski and Diane von Furstenburg announced the 2010 CFDA nominees at Diane’s studio last night. Diane called Nadja the “godmother” of fashion, and when Nadja suggested that title belongs to Diane, Diane countered, “No! I’m the grandmother!” And she did sound maternal, correcting Nadja’s mispronounced designer names. After reading the nominees, Stephen Kolb took Read more →
