Plus, Sarah Jessica Parker is launching a very-Carrie footwear collection with Net-a-Porter.
Just because you're being treated like human cattle doesn't mean you have to look like it.
And Editor-in-Chief Katie Grand reminds us that 'Love' is about style, not fashion.
Alright everyone, gird your loins!
Even though you are.
And there are a *lot* of them.
The sometimes-controversial designer doesn't like talking about himself -- but he does like talking about amfAR and the importance of their AIDS research.

The "theme," if you will, of Kenneth Cole's spring presentation was "Content Creators." After all, the designer does loves social media, even if it doesn't always love him back.
One of the most exciting things about fashion week happens before it even begins--getting the invitations. And while many designers still choose to go with the standard invites (don't get us wrong--they're great too!), or emails (more eco-friendly, sure), we're all about the fancy ones. There's just something to be said about getting a little creative--so we wanted to put a spotlight on those designers that went above and beyond. Click through for a look at the coolest Spring 2014 New York fashion week invitations.
It's only day three of fashion week and we have our first official Kanye West sighting. But we didn't just spot Yeesus--we saw loads of other celebs, as well as models taking #selfies and Bill Cunningham in action. Check out all the great stuff we saw on day three:
Kenneth Cole, who made headlines in 2011 when he sent out a tweet making light of the uprisings in Egypt, is courting controversy again on social media.
Valentino, J.Lo and Liza with a Z.
New show reviews and galleries are in! Check out Tess Giberson, Kenneth Cole, and Boast.
It's been seven years since Kenneth Cole last showed on the New York runways, and if anything can be gleaned from the celeb and industry packed front row, it's that he was definitely missed.
Kenneth Cole returns to the runway tonight after a seven year hiatus. But don’t expect a traditional runway show. After all, this is the guy who, 30 years ago, first showed his line of shoes in a movie trailer on a city street during the FFANY (Fashion Footwear Association of New York) shoe show instead of going the conventional (and more expensive) route and renting a showroom space. (He had to register his company as Kenneth Cole Productions to get the permit). For tonight’s show expect a social media onslaught.
New York is unreasonably cold right now. Like impending-blizzard-freeze-your-Rag & Bone-covered-butt-off cold. This is exactly why we, and fashionistas nowhere near New York, are praising the fashion gods (more like IMG & various PR people) for the glorious amount of New York fashion week shows livestreaming this week. We wrangled 89 shows (89!) and presentations to tune into over the course of the next week...with even more coming in! The best part? You won't be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine... See any shows we missed? Let us know!
One of the things we always look forward to in the pre-fashion week madness is all the pretty show invites that land on our desks. The invites often give you an idea of what to expect from the show, too. This season, we've seen neon, translucent pink rubber; holographic birds; and used Petri dishes (yes--really). We've rounded up some of the more eye-catching and creative NYFW invitations to show up in our mailbox so far. Aren't they pretty?
Someone online has apparently been selling tickets to "another Victoria's Secret fashion show." Thankfully, between beach photo shoots and generally being hot, Angel Adriana Lima has time to set the record straight. {YouTube} Would Carrie be Carrie without her Manolos, or would she be just as witty in Pierre Hardy?

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! Adriana Lima announced yesterday that she's expecting her second child, which puts her on the growing list of growing bikini babes (including Lily Aldridge and Alessandra Ambrosio). No word on how far along she is, but the VS Fashion Show takes place in November (8 mos away), and we wouldn't be a bit surprised if she shows up with a six pack. {People} Anna Wintour Parties with the Democrats: As the election creeps closer, fashion's love affair with the Democratic Party hasn't shown signs of fading. Monday night, Anna Wintour hosted a fund-raiser to re-elect NY Senator Dem Kirsten Gillibrand, who also sat front row at Carolina Herrera's show last month. Other politically savvy fashion folk in attendance included DVF, Kenneth Cole, Francisco Costa, and Michel Kors. {WWD}
