Parsons is partnering with some of fashion’s powerhouses to give students another dream opportunity–and this one is (hopefully!) controversy-free.

Here’s everything that is inspiring us this month!
Name:Nicole Phelps
What do you do? I’m the Executive Editor of Style.com.
What’s been your favorite show that you’ve seen this season?
We have a new guilty pleasure on the internet and you can find it on, of all places, Style.com.
The site tapped actor/designer/filmmaker/jet-setter/all-around cool, classy guy Waris Ahluwalia to answer the questions on “how best to navigate the intricacies of fashion week” advice column-style in an amazingly insidery new feature called, cleverly, Love & Waris.
Despite having a few fashion weeks under our belts, we hardly knew the true gravity of the problems facing fashion people these days. That it’s taken this long for someone to provide a resource for them is downright tragic. An example of one such troubling dillema:
Dear Waris, A friend has invited me to a fashion week party he’s hosting, but I’ve also been invited to two better parties that night and can’t possibly make it to all three.
The non-stop madness that is fashion week begins officially tomorrow (and unofficially today), meaning you have just a short time to prepare. That means stocking up on coffee, granola bars, doing your laundry, picking up your dry cleaning, submitting all of your ticket requests and rsvp’s, and–this is a fairly new one–making sure you’ve downloaded Read more →
Style.com published a feature today called “The Conversation,” by Maya Singer, which aims to “ask the questions on everyone’s lips” in the days leading up to NYFW. You know, questions like “Are you sick of prints yet?” and “What’s the point of Fashion’s Night Out?” and the one we’ve personally been asking ourselves all year Read more →
While we still travel to big halls and complexes with tents and sit on benches while models walk down a runway in clothes that wont be sold until six months later–5-10 times per day for a week–fashion week has changed a lot over the past few years. Much if not all of that change is Read more →
Everyone loves a list, and year-end lists are the best of them all. In the crush of current news, there’s a tendency to forget all the ridiculous and amazing things that took place six weeks ago, let alone 11 months ago. Style.com has kicked off the year-end list extravaganza and set the bar really high for the rest of us list makers toiling away trying to remember what the heck happened in 2011.
Their list looks at 18 different events that happened this year, from the Dior/Galliano drama to the Royal Wedding. Wondering out how many buttons were on Kate Middleton’s gown? How many names have been tossed in the ring to replace Galliano at Dior?

Style.com/Print, that’s Style.com’s new print mag (if you haven’t heard), doesn’t hit newsstands–or the web–until Monday, October 31 but we’ve got an exclusive first look at one of the juiciest features in the new issue: An interview and photo essay spotlighting legendary designer Azzedine Alaïa.
Photographer Kacper Kasprzyk shot model Saskia de Brauw in head-to-toe Azzedine Alaïa (left) for the debut issue, and the photos are accompanied by a Q & A with Alaïa (conducted by Style.com EIC Dirk Standen) as well as a profile on de Brauw.
Back in April, we reported that Style.com would be launching a print magazine in the near future and now, here it is.
The New York Times reports that the glossy magazine will hit newsstands next week and will go by the name of Style.com/Print. Besides its awkward title, which the Times‘ Eric Wilson calls “puzzling” and the slightly befuddling concept to begin with (how would clicking through endless runway shows translate into print?), the new magazine actually sounds pretty interesting.
Cathy Horyn Ruffles Feathers Again: Horyn published a “must-see” list of shows for NYFW, which included many young designers but left out several big name players like DVF and Oscar de la Renta. Some were indifferent, but more than a few felt slighted. {WWD}
Franca Sozzani Thinks Dior Should Hire John Galliano Back: The Italian Vogue editor says, “ I understand [Dior's] point of view…and they couldn’t just say, ‘Bad boy! We forgive you! Come back!’ But it’s really a pity. And I will never believe he believed what he said.” {The Daily Beast}
ANTM All-Stars Starts Wednesday, Tyra Still Crazy: If this commercial is any indication of what’s to come this season, we can expect it to be a totally engrossing shitshow. {Fashin}
