Dov Charney’s Accuser Speaks Out: Kimbra Lo, the second former American Apparel employee to file suit against founder Dov Charney for sexual harassment, went on the Today show this morning.

Herve Leger’s Max Azria gifted Godiva chocolates to his front row Valentines. There were young TV starlets like Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr in a sexy black number, seated next to a coiffed Sophia Bush in a short, sparkly Leger cocktail dress.

We weren’t sure why Erin Wasson, free, homeless-person loving, Alexander Wang-wearing rock ‘n’ roll hippie decided to show her AW10 line for RVCA at the commercial epicenter of New York Fashion Week, the Bryant Park tents.

I was walking through Saks yesterday, overwhelmed by the perfection of Helmut Lang’s pre-fall collection, when I saw the BCBG skirt at left. It was hot pink in the store, so it jumped out against the greys and blacks, and perfectly banded. The piece was tiny and stretchy with a zipper up the back just [...]

London tabloids are currently in a right uproar – not over Posh, or Lindsay, but yes, Elle MacPherson. And all to do with the look she turned up wearing a couple weeks ago to the new Jaguar launch.
