There's nothing more satisfying than knowing that chicness lies beneath your high-waisted jeans.
And Karl Lagerfeld is the latest to dub Cara Delevingne this generation's Kate Moss.
Watch How New Yorkers Really Feel About Fascinators: A few journalists walked around the city in fascinators asking people on the street what they thought. The responses are hilarious. {The Cut} Judges For New Project Runway All-Stars Confirmed: Model Angela Lindvall will replace Heidi Klum as host and Marie Claire EIC Joanna Coles will be the contestants' mentor, with veterans Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman returning to judge. We will miss Michael Kors though. {People} Daisy Lowe Covers Playboy Covered In Daisies: Get it? It's like, her name. The model looks really hot-girl-next-door in a PVC swimsuit spotted with her namesake flower. Though kinda awesome, this is a September issue we probably won't be buying. {Telegraph} Sarah Jessica Parker Has ANOTHER Cover?? SJP is on September's Marie Claire... this might be the oversaturation point. {Fashion Gone Rogue}
Just as summer temperatures are rising, the fashion world is bracing for the fall with ad campaigns being released by the minute. So far we've seen Prada's girlish campaign of new models, Helena Bonham Carter making faces for Marc Jacobs, and lap dogs and handcuffs at Louis Vuitton.

Even though they're ranked from 1 to 14, they're mostly in the A+ range. Click through our slide show of fall's campaigns and let us know which is your favorite!
Celine Kaplan is one of those French women who seems incredibly perfect and intimidating from afar. (I mean, did you SEE her closet on the The Coveteur???) When you do meet her, she's still incredibly perfect, but also incredibly kind and a joy to be around. Ahh, the French. Anyway, when I finally got a chance to know Celine while interviewing one of her clients--Laure from The Webster--I soon realized that she'd be the topic of my next Life With column. Celine's been doing PR for Bourjois and Eres (both owned by Chanel) for over a decade. That was, until the last year when Bourjois stopped distributing their makeup in the US. She still heads up the Eres US PR efforts, and has brought on some other clients you just might be interested in, including The Webster and...wait for it...Laduree! which is planning on opening up shop in America sooner than later. Almost out of nowhere, Celine acquired her very own boutique firm, CKPR public relations. She and I recently sat down at Balthazaar--yes, even French people like it there--to chat about the industry, what it's like to be a high power PR, and why the only secret to getting what you want is hard work.
SoHo Gets a Nordstrom: New York City is finally getting a Nordstrom. Except it's not just any ordinary Nordstom--it's a concept shop with a charity angle. The store will donate all of its earnings to charity. While most of the details are not yet worked out, the store will occupy 11,100 square feet at 350 West Broadway. {Racked} When Designers Get Into Costume: With Halloween only a few days away, T Magazine asked some of their favorite designers what they were going to be for Halloween. Pamela Love is going as Georgia O'Keeffe, Joseph Altuzarra will dress as wolf from Little Red Riding Hood, Eddie Borgo is going to go as Pee Wee Herman and Chris Benz is deciding between a matador and a bellhop . {T Magazine} Isabella Blow Biopic: There has been a lot of rumors surrounding the making of a biopic focusing on the life of the late Isabella Blow. Apparently, it's really happening. The film's director and producers have all been chosen, and the screenplay has already been written. Set to be involved in the film are John Galliano and Philip Treacy, both who were very close to Blow. {The Cut}
I was cringing a little bit when Lauren’s rant last week about girly design. I love anything pink. Right now I’m typing on a Macbook covered in a hot pink shell, have a Blackberry with a fuchsia skin, and am reading from notes in my watermelon hued journal. Mind you, I don’t dress in pink from head to toe, but I have quite a bit of pink in my closet. Not sweet pink. Loud pink. Is it only for tweens? Well, I’m the most, um, mature writer at Fashionista. I mean age, not experience and wisdom. So I’m either regressing or empowered. I’m not really sure. Just in time for the height of summer, here are my favorite pink things. Please, use them sparingly. nextpage
