What We Saw at New York Fashion Week, Day Seven

The light at the end of the tunnel is near as we power through day seven of New York Fashion Week. Or maybe we’re just still thinking about the fluorescent lights at Rodarte’s show this afternoon?

Karlie Kloss Says She Wants To Go To Harvard: ‘Tyra Did It. I Can Do It Too.’

Karlie Kloss is at the top of her game: She’s beloved by designers; she’s a Vogue favorite; she holds lucrative deals with consumer giants like Victoria’s Secret; she co-hosts MTV’s House of Style with Joan Smalls; she shills her own vegan Karlie’s Kookies with Momofuku Milk Bar; and her haircut was just christened ‘The Karlie’ by the New York Times.

Did Vogue’s Hurricane Sandy Spread Cross the Line?

Today Vogue released an editorial from their February issue “celebrating Hurricane Sandy’s first responders.” In it, top models like Chanel Iman, Karlie Kloss and Liu Wen pose in looks by American designers (an Oscar de la Renta ballgown, a silk Donna Karan gown, a leather jacket from Proenza Schouler) next to Con-Ed employees, members of the National Guard, and the staff of the neonatal intensive care-unit at Bellevue hospital.

Here’s Who We Think Will Cover Vogue in 2013

As we’re sure you now know, Vogue cover girls aren’t just plucked out of a hat at random.

A lot of careful planning goes into picking the stars of each month–who has a film coming out when? Who has Anna Wintour built a relationship with? Who fits each issue’s theme? After years of…foreseeable covers, we feel like we more or less know a future Vogue cover girl when we see one. So, we’ve decided to try and predict who will cover the glossy in 2013.
