Never Leave Your Couch: A Complete List of Every Show Livestreaming During New York Fashion Week
As a seasoned livestreamer, running home from school everyday (and sometimes during lunch period) to catch a show made me feel like I was sitting front row, but without the annoying crowds.

Fashion News Roundup: Marriage and Baby Rumors, Anne Hathaway Covers Vogue and Did Theyskens Turn Down ODR?
A Weighty Issue: According to a blind item, some mysterious celebrity is holding off a pregnancy announcement because of her husband’s concern about an eating disorder. The item reads, “While he really, really wants this baby (even more than she does), he is very concerned that she is obsessing about her weight.” Who do you think it is? We have one guess. {Blind Gossip}
But the Brother Says… Meanwhile, yet another “exclusive” with celebrity gossip mag In Touch confirms that Zoe is in fact pregnant (after OK! and Us Weekly confirmed the same thing). This time, the source is Rachel Zoe’s brother-in-law. The supposed parents-to-be are still laying low. {In Touch}
Are they or aren’t they? Earlier today, the Daily Mirror reported that Kate Moss secretly married Jamie Hince in Italy this summer. Now Moss’s agent is denying the rumors. Hmm. {Fashionologie}

10 Questions for the Rachel Zoe Project
1. Was Rachel’s conversation with Oscar backstage a conversation or a press interview? The vibe was very there-are-a-lot-of-cameras-pointed-towards-us-so-we-need-to-say-things-to-each-other.
2. This is just a suggestion, but why couldn’t Rachel and Roger just pretend their anniversary isn’t during fashion week and celebrate it before or after instead of complaining so much about how they can’t spend time together? Don’t people do that?
3. Why is everything a “moment?” Seriously, Rachel and Brad said the word “moment” at least 7 times during the episode, including:
“White Moment” – something Rachel dies for, natch, and that Cameron is also known to love.
“Princess Moment” – Rachel referring to ODR’s collection and something Cameron hasn’t had in a while
“Anti-black Moment” – Rachel referring to what Demi apparently needs to have (which may have worked, as Demi rocked a purple printed mini dress on Regis & Kelly this morning).
“Whoever decided the stages should be white just fucked up my whole moment!” – Brad, um, having a moment.

Chelsea Clinton’s Vera Wang Dress Was Really Pretty
It’s official: Chelsea Clinton wore Vera Wang when marrying Marc Mezvinsky yesterday in upstate New York, as reported on People.com. Mezvinsky wore a Burberry suit.
Chelsea’s mom, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wore Oscar.
While none of this is very surprising, we will say that we were very impressed with the bride’s dress choice. The beading at the waist, frothy skirt and beautiful white rose bouquet might not have been innovative, but it was beautiful.
What do you think of Chelsea’s dress?

What Should Chelsea Wear?
Much has been made of Chelsea Clinton’s top-secret nuptials to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky. The couple is set to wed this Saturday, reportedly in in Rhinebeck, NY.
“Part of the fascination, I think, is that Chelsea is so private–no one was this fascinated with Jenna Bush’s wedding” says Doree Shafrir, contributing editor for New York and resident Chelsea wedding expert. “We’ve also seen her go from ugly duckling to swan which is always a great narrative.”
And since we’re Fashionista, it’s that “ugly ducking to swan” narrative we’re most fascinated by. What will Bill’s daughter wear down the aisle?
This morning WWD snapped her going into Vera Wang. Refinery 29 reported earlier that she would wear custom Oscar de la Renta.
Here are our top ten suggestions for Chelsea (and yes, we know the green skirted ODLR number is just wishful thinking). Who gets your vote?

Why Saks’ New Designer Plus Size Department is a Good Thing
Prepare for a Chanel-inspired stampede. This autumn, Saks Fifth Avenue will become the first major US retailer to stock plus-sized clothing from all of its high fashion brands.
Goods from Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, and yes, Chanel, will soon be available up to size 14, with some brands extending to size 20. And rather than being segregated into a different section, plus-sized garments will be displayed on the same rails as straight-sized stock on Saks’ high-end third floor.
It’s astonishing that something so obvious, lucrative and longed-for could take this long. The plus-size clothing sector is worth $27 billion globally, according to data from New York-based buying firm Global Purchasing Group.
That’s partly due to prevailing health trends, but also a result of increasingly arbitrary sizing—the US doesn’t have any clothing size regulations, so a woman who wears a size 8-10 at a mainstream store might find that McQueen thinks she’s a 12 or 14.
