Prince Harry is in the United States this week for a series of official visits, and he kicked off his trip by joining Michelle Obama at a White House reception honoring military moms. We’re pretty sure Harry was on his best behavior–the First Lady certainly wouldn’t tolerate any of his shenanigans at her house.
Prabal Gurung is having a big week. His Target collaboration launched in a very big way; his military-inspired main collection was a hit, and today he showed his designs for ICB on the runway for the first time.

In the past 12 hours, we saw Chloe Sevigny modeling her own collection for Opening Ceremony, Alexander Wang prove that he’s got the skills for Wanglenciaga Balenciaga, and went backstage at all the shows including Wang, Prabal Gurung, Louise Goldin, and more.

It’s become the norm that after a launch party for a designer collaboration, pieces available at the “pre-shop” end up on eBay within hours. The Prabal Gurung collection for Target, set to hit stores on February 10, is no exception.
New York is unreasonably cold right now. Like impending-blizzard-freeze-your-Rag & Bone-covered-butt-off cold. This is exactly why we, and fashionistas nowhere near New York, are praising the fashion gods (more like IMG & various PR people) for the glorious amount of New York fashion week shows livestreaming this week. We wrangled 89 shows (89!) and presentations to tune into over the course of the next week…with even more coming in! The best part? You won’t be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine…
