Our series “How I’m Making It,” which profiles up-and-coming fashion pioneers as they climb the industry ranks, has inspired and informed you. Especially those of you looking to break into fashion.

So we’re bringing it to life. “How I’m Making It: What It Takes To Be Successful In Fashion” will take place on December 6, 2010 from 7pm-9pm in the Cantor Film Center at NYU.

Co-hosted by Fashionista and Farfetch.com, the panel includes over half a dozen of the industry’s most influential up-and-comers, including:

Michael Mente, Owner of Farfetch.com
Nellie Partow, Designer
Paul Birardi and Eddy Chai, Owners of Odin/Pas De Deux/Odin Fragrances
Rebecca Minkoff, Designer
Shipley & Halmos, Designers
Timo Weiland, Designers

Moderated by us–Fashionista editors Lauren Sherman and Leah Chernikoff–we’ll be asking these rising fashion stars how they broke into the business, and how they’re making it now. There will also be an audience Q&A, so we can pretty much guarantee your questions will be answered. (As long as it’s not, you know, super weird or inappropriate.)

Tickets to this one-time-only event are $24.99. Every guest will also receive a surprise goody bag. Sign up here now, as quantity is limited. We can’t wait to meet you and talk fashion! Here are the details again:

Fashion’s Night Out is a little more than a month away and more details are being revealed around the world as the night gets closer.

For one, Hamish Bowles and Lauren Santo-Domingo will not be the only Vogue editors to appear on the September 20 FNO-themed Gossip Girl episode. Vogue market editor Meredith Melling-Burke will also make an appearance and we hear she’s wearing Chloe.

In other news, Payless is offering Facebook fans a chance to win a 5-day trip to NYC for Fashion’s Night Out. The “All Fashion Pass” will include access to the Vogue fashion show and a meet and greet with Payless designers Christian Siriano, Patricia Field, Lela Rose and Isabel Toledo. This actually sounds really cool.

From NYC to Australia, Chanel to Billy Reid, we’ve got the scoop on even more major FNO events you won’t want to miss.

A recent survey conducted by MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk found that almost fifty percent of women prefer to keep their clothes on during sex. Why? According to the Telegraph, who first reported on the survey, 54 percent of women keep at least one item of clothing on while doing the nasty to “improve body confidence.”

We don’t really buy it. Sex is about being naked, right? The survey sample size was only 1,563 people anyway.

But we decided to have some fun with this and recommend some of the more ridiculous pieces of clothing and accessories to wear during sex. If you must.

Here are our picks. What would you keep on?

This past weekend, we decided to escape the city and venture out to the Hamptons to celebrate the 4th with Kanon Organic Vodka and NYC hangout The Smile. We figured the combination of unbearable heat, a swimming pool, a color-themed holiday and fashion people would bring about some noteworthy style and we were right. After a couple of Kanon’s “Red, White and Blueberry,” cocktails (yes, they actually were really good) we decided to start documenting.

The event had a decidedly laid-back vibe; many partygoers like Harley Viera-Newton left the red and blue at home and opted for chic white ensembles. Maybe they were going to some kind of P. Diddy White Party after? Does that still happen? Click through for this party’s best dressed.

Five Things We Loved About Timo’s AW10 Presentation: 1. The clothes. Impeccable construction and beautiful design—especially those teardrop coats and cardigans. The boys have come a long way from bow ties. 2. The colors. The shading from reds to blues to greens was like looking through a kaleidoscope; It was so pretty. 3. The space. [...]
