London Fashion Week was a whirlwind--and we're not just saying that. It felt way longer than a few days and not because it wasn't fun, but because so much happened.
It just occurred to us that yesterday's Lady Gaga profile in WWD made no mention of Nicola Formichetti, Gaga's longtime stylist, collaborator and friend. That's because Formichetti will no longer be styling the pop star--and he sounds relieved.

Many of the past finalists have since landed lofty positions at luxury brands like Givenchy, Margiela, Celine, and more. Read on to meet this year's most promising winners.
The Met Ball is like the Oscars for the fashion industry: all the best people in all the best dresses. This year's theme, punk, presents an interesting conundrum: will people go all out, liberty spikes and Givenchy nose rings and all, or just throw some studs on a Chanel suit and call it pseudo-punk?

Click through to see the looks we want to see on the red carpet, and let us know what you're hoping for in the comments.
What's In A Word? We take issue with T Magazine's dismissal of "slut clothes" and take a look back at decades of so-called "slut style." And Speaking of "Slut Clothes": That dress that Julia Roberts wore as Vivian in Pretty Woman is hot stuff, with Emma Watson donning the look on the latest issue of British GQ and versions of the dress selling out fast.

In news that will surprise no one, Nicola Formichetti is officially headed to Diesel.
