The bitch slap heard ’round the fashion world has had its day in court. Sort of.
Lynn Tesoro, the PR exec at the Zac Posen show who was slapped by Jalouse editor Jennifer Eymere because of a seating issue, filed a $1 million dollar lawsuit after the incident. Today WWD is reporting that, according to a reliable source, the case has been settled for an “undisclosed amount.”
Remember when Jalouse editor Jennifer Eymere slapped PR exec Lynn Tesoro at Zac Posen’s show over some seating kerfuffle in September during New York fashion week?
Now Lynn Tesoro is officially fighting back: According to WWD, she just filed a lawsuit.

Well, that didn’t take long.
Lynn Tesoro, the PR girl who got a slap in the face at the Zac Posen show earlier this week is suing.
According to the New York Daily News, Tesoro is suing Jalouse editor Jennifer Eymere, who slapped Tesoro (and admitted it proudly to WWD) after things escalated while Tesoro was attempting to find Eymere and her group (including Eymere’s mom) a seat at the show. The NYFD had just removed 60 seats, so it was a bit of a logistical nightmare.
Tesoro is suing Eymere for a cool $1 million.

How do you measure influence?
Is it through website hits? Or sales? Through ad dollars? Or the number of mass retailers who’ve knocked off your work?
The answer is all of the above and none of the above. Influence is an intangible thing that just happens when you know your craft and you work hard at it.
To determine who belongs in the Fashionista 50–our list of the most influential people working in New York fashion–we used our own knowledge of the industry, combined with advice from industry sources. We also considered each candidate’s consumer reach–through sales, media, etc.
To be considered, candidates had to live and work in New York for most of the year.
What’s Fashionista’s definition of influential? It describes people who are shaping the direction of the New York fashion industry, both aesthetically and in terms of how the business works.
