Francisco Costa

Francisco Costa ended New York Fashion Week with a pared back, deconstructed bang via his 10th anniversary collection for Calvin Klein. Tomorrow, the collection becomes available to buy on Moda Operandi (yep, they're fast!), so we chatted with Costa and Moda's Director of Ready to Wear Indre Rockefeller about the inspiration for Costa's collection, working together and how a Moda Operandi trunk show actually comes about, which pieces are Moda's favorites, and how tech-savvy shoppers and retailers are changing the industry.

We've given you a sneak peek at what fashion week is like for an editor-in-chief thanks to Glamour's Cindi Leive--but what does it look like for a fashion director? Glamour's own Anne Christensen is giving us the behind-the-scenes scoop on what fashion week was like for her.

Francisco Costa is celebrating 10 successful years as the women's creative director for Calvin Klein collection. In advance of the debut of his spring 2014 collection, he reflected back on his career with WWD's Bridget Foley, revealing some interesting tidbits about former boss Calvin Klein and his tabloid exploits, celebrity dressing, and runway shows as "propaganda."

This past weekend, the fashion crowd made its annual pilgrimage to Savannah, Georgia for Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)'s senior fashion show--and this year I had the pleasure of being a part of it--and even got to interview Francisco Costa, this year's recipient of the Andre Leon Talley Lifetime Achievement Award. We chatted about Savannah, his own fashion education, career challenges, and celebrity dressing--including his experience outfitting a few A-listers for this month's Met Gala. Also--expect another mass collaboration in the near future.

The Savannah College of Art and Design's (SCAD) School of Fashion is one of the best in the country, and the student fashion show is an event that we always look forward to. Last year's senior fashion show left us seriously impressed with the students' skills, and we have no doubt it will be even better this year. Take a front row seat with us and watch the next big names in fashion bring their designs to life on the catwalk as we livestream the show on Saturday, May 18 at 8pm EST--in other words, now!

Francisco Costa served up the sexy (in a subtle, minimalist way, of course) for his spring collection for Calvin Klein. The last collection of the week, it was also one of the best.

Hello Kitty Lingerie Coming Soon: Lingerie brand Hanky Panky has teamed up with everyone's favorite mouthless cartoon cat, Hello Kitty, on a collection of undergarments. (Why no mouth? Because Hello Kitty "speaks from the heart.") Since there are honestly too many R-rated, half-witty comments and puns just begging to be made about this collaboration, we'll spare you entirely and will simply say: The collection launches in May. {Racked} Another Victoria's Secret Angel is Pregnant: There must be something in the holy water at Victoria's Secret because yet another Angel is pregnant!
