Kim Kardashian Wants to Lunch With Kate Middleton, Proenza Schouler Debuts New Bag, and Alessandra Ambrosio’s Daughter Models
Part of being a style icon means wearing exactly what you want. Rachel Bilson does just that, saying, “All men hate harem pants, but I don’t give a s—t.” {Us Weekly}
Nordstrom will open CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund pop-up shops in six locations around the country this spring–so you’ll have access to a selection of designs from finalists like Wes Gordon, Suno, Giulietta and more. Yay! {WWD}
Tonight she’ll don wings for Victoria’s Secret, but Alessandra Ambrosio has her own angel stealing the spotlight. Her daughter Anja stars with her model mommy in the latest London Fog ads. {HuffPo}

My Fashion Week Nightmare…with Vena Cava
Anyone who works in the industry has had ‘em: A fashion week related nightmare. We asked designers, editors and stylists to share theirs with us, and then we asked our friend (and super talented artist) Mara Sprafkin illustrate them. Don’t be scared… We’ve heard about Simon Doonan’s model-humping pup and Rebecca Taylor’s animated dress forms. Read more →

Vena Cava Fall 2011: ’90s Time Warp
It was clear Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock were in a 90s mindset before the models even set foot on the runway. While we waited for the show to start (it ran about 40 minutes late) staffers passed out ‘Zina Cava, Vena Cava’s ‘zine. They got their fashionable friends to contribute–Andy Spade, Kate Young, Ariel Shulman and Shipley & Halmos, to name a few–and whipped a nostalgia packed treat that kept me more than occupied during the 40 minute delay. I cringed when I saw a photo of a Contempo Casuals tag and chuckled at the page where Buhai and Mayock slapped their faces on ever model in that iconic CK One ad.
The first page of Vena Cava’s ‘zine read, “all content inspired by the 90s”–and so was their fall 2011 collection. Like, very literally inspired. Not grunge Seattle ’90s like we saw at Nicholas K or even at Charlotte Ronson last season but the glammed-out power suit, “working girls,” supermodel (we’re talking Cindy, Linda, Christy, Naomi here) ’90s. There were boned corset tops, structured bodices with cutouts, and maxi skirts in a crinkled chiffon that reminded me of the crinkled floral print broomstick skirts I used to wear from the Limited Too. And to really hit you over the head with the ’90s theme, models were wearing bronze structured necklaces by Dannijo that looked like chokers and berets by Yestadt Millinery.

Sister Act: Dannijo Debuts At New York Fashion Week, and More Details on Their Vena Cava Collaboration
When we last saw Jodie and Danielle Snyder, the sisters behind jewelry line Dannijo, we were interviewing them for our “How I’m Making It” series. Well it certainly seems like the girls have “made it.”
On Tuesday night the Snyder sisters made their New York Fashion Week debut, presenting their fall 2011 collection, “Aboriginal,” at a packed gallery space on West 22nd St. Perfectly-styled models in tousled finger-waves done by Sally Hershberger (and one older gentleman smoking a cigar) posed in meticulously constructed vignettes that recalled the wild west–old wood cabins and pelts on the walls. Tinsley Mortimer (yes, really) was also inexplicably floating around.

Official Fashion’s Night Out Details Are Up: Our Top 10
The new Fashion’s Night Out website launched today and it’s pretty impressive. You can browse and search every New York event listing and even create your own itinerary.
You can also narrow the 51 pages of listings down by neighborhood, category (men, women, beauty) and/or specialty (block party, celebrity, food). But if you’re looking for, say, ten or so events that are most likely worth checking out, look no further. We reviewed each and every page to bring you the ten FNO events we’re most looking forward to.

Mayor Bloomberg Talks Fashion’s Night Out While Anna Wintour, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Other CFDA Members Stand There
After living here for a while, you sometimes forget how many amazing people live and work in New York City. When we walked into City Hall for the Fashion’s Night Out kick-off press conference today, we went through security with Lisa Mayock from Vena Cava.
Then, we saw Anna Wintour walking ahead of us and Alex Wang suddenly appeared behind us. A few minutes later Marc Jacobs, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez walked in. After we were seated inside the press conference room, the following people (in addition to the aforementioned) surrounded the podium: Prabal Gurung, Zac Posen, Phillip Lim, Tracy Reese, Kenneth Cole, Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, Tommy Hilfiger, Thakoon Panichgul, Marcus Wainwright from Rag & Bone, Francisco Costa, Vera Wang, Tory Burch, Steven Kolb, Linda Fargo, the Mayor…and after a few moments, we noticed tiny Mary-Kate Olsen peeking her head out behind Marc.
Then, unfortunately, we died and are thus unable to report anything else about Fashion’s Night Out.
Just kidding – sort of.

The Best Long Skirts and Dresses Out There
The long skirt (and dress) comeback is steadily gaining momentum. Whether it’s a backlash against the plateauing popularity of minis, or just another ‘90s trend revival, we’re kind of digging this look. And, given its prevalence on the Fall ’10 runways and even Resort, this trend isn’t dying down anytime soon. But we wondered: Can everyone pull it off?
