Coco Rocha Talks Juice Fasting and the 'Right' Way to Model

A handful of Dannijo “girl crushes”--cool chicks that designer sisters Danielle and Jodie Snyder love and feature on their blog--came to pay their respects at the brand's presentation yesterday at the Jane Hotel. Among them was model and model rights champion Coco Rocha. She took time out from gleefully tweeting and Instagramming (the girl loves her social media) to tell us how she feels about the CFDA’s controversial partnership with Organic Avenue and the differences between her, Naomi Campbell, and Karolina Kurkova on new model reality TV show The Face.

Killer Style: How to Dress Like A Hitchcock Heroine

Hitchcock, the Oscar-vehicle starring Anthony Hopkins as Hitch and Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, hit select theaters this past weekend. There hasn't been much fashion buzz about the film aside from Scarlett Johansson's Psycho-themed V cover, which focused more on her scream than her clothes (as well it should have), but we've always had a soft-spot for the fashion in Hitchcock's films.

Fashion News Roundup: Lady Gaga Wears a Wedding Gown, a Dictator's Wife Carries Dior, and Alexa Chung Lands a Maje-or Ad Campaign

Lady Gaga is a Vogue cover girl for the second time, but could a cover of Bride be next? Vie Luxe CEO Marjorie Gubelmann posted a picture of Gaga in full bridal regalia to her Instagram, sparking rumors she was planning nuptials with boyfriend Taylor Kinney. {Sugarscape} Lucky magazine has landed themselves in a bit of hot water with readers over their new "Fill the Void" campaign. {HuffPo} Karmic cell phone retribution?

Fashion News Roundup: J.Lo's Stylist Denies a Nip Slip, Katy Perry Looks Hot on Interview, and Topshop Opens on the West Coast

Jennifer Lopez and the Nip Slip That Wasn't: Despite Twitter buzz to the contrary, Jennifer Lopez's stylist Mariel Haenn insists that a nip slip Sunday night just wasn't possible for J. Lo. "While the dress did give the illusion of sheer-ness, joke's on everyone who wishes they saw something!" scoffs the stylist, adding that the gown had "special cups" to prevent any slips. {People} Grading the Men: As it turns out, the men didn't get very high accolades at last night's red carpet. Many committed tuxedo sins, like pants that were too long (George Clooney) or a business-like tie with a formal jacket (Antonio Banderas). Passing grades were given to presenters Tom Hanks and Christian Bale. {NYT} Katy Perry Covers Interview: Proving that the best revenge is living well (and looking HOT), Katy Perry channels her inner siren on the upcoming cover of Interview. It's definitely different than we're used to seeing Perry - more sexy and less saccharine. We can't wait for the full spread! {ONTD}

Last Night's Party: Coach Celebrates the High Line with Paz de la Huerta and Dan Humphrey

Crowd pleaser Coach hosted last night’s Summer Party on the High Line. There we found custom monogrammed luggage tags, Dan Humphrey (aka Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley) rocking some chest hair, and possibly even more exciting (depending on your appreciation for male cleavage): Grey Goose-spiked ice pops. After accidentally trekking our best shoes through the park’s new water feature--warning: look down or you’ll get soaked--we stumbled upon a rouge-lipped Paz de la Huerta dressed in a black Gucci number and a re-issued Coach bag. It was the Boardwalk Empire star’s first time in the park since its re-opening, “I used to come here as a child before it was the High Line,” she told us. As for the attention her lipstick’s been getting these days, she said, “The whole thing is ridiculous, it has nothing to do with the color of my clothing. Tonight I’m not wearing a red dress, and I would never match this with black lipstick.”

The 11 Best Fashion Brands to Follow on Tumblr

It makes sense that fashion brands have glommed onto Tumblr. The microblogging platform's highly visual nature is a perfect fit for fashion brands to showcase their identities in creative and subtle ways. Of course, some brands are much better at it than others. Here are the brands we think are using Tumblr best right now.

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.
