Fashion month officially kicks off this week with the shows in New York. While it may warm up by the time Paris fashion week rolls around, it's going to be really cold for a while, which means everyone's going to be bundled up. What's a street style star to do if no one can see her outfit? Capitalize on all the wackadoo spring 2013 accessories, that's what.

On the left is Martha Stewart on the cover of her latest Halloween issue. On the right is the late style icon Isabella Blow, whom we're sure needs no introduction. While we appreciate Martha breaking out of her conservative Connecticut Mom image and, ahem, spreading her wings, we have to call her out for cribbing a bit too much from Blow, who wore the artsy style in 2006, when it was actually original. Furthermore, Blow's butterfly mask was created by milliner master Philip Treacy, while Martha's kind of looks like she hot-gunned some poor butterfly's remains together and stuck them to her face.

The infamous Philip Treacy hat that Princess Beatrice wore to the royal wedding has been sold at auction on eBay for £81,100.01--that's $130765.66. Proceeds will go to benefit Bea's chosen charities: UNICEF and Children in Crisis. The bidder's identity has not yet been revealed. The hat's auction page was viewed around 724,000 times and 94 bids were placed on it, according to the UK's Telegraph. The sale also sets a new record for the sale of a designer hat on eBay. It's a lot of money for hat that a lot of people thought was ridiculous. Bea's hat caused nearly as much of a fuss as Kate Middleton's wedding dress or Pippa Middleton's bum. It prompted the creation of countless Facebook pages from "Princess Beatrice's ridiculous Royal Wedding hat" which has 143,609 likes to "Princess Beatrice's hat looks like a uterus" with 930 likes.

Two very different, completely unrelated yet iconic items of clothing are going up for auction. Sarah Ferguson, aka the Duchess of York, aka Fergie, told Oprah today that her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, would auction off her infamous Philip Treacy fascinator on eBay to benefit UNICEF and Children in Crisis, according to People. (Fergie also, as it has been widely reported, confessed to Oprah that not being invited to the wedding while her daughters attended in all their couture-and-Treacy-finery was "very difficult.") Bea's hat garnered almost as much attention as Kate's wedding dress or Pippa's bum, and has inspired the creation of several Facebook groups (my favorite is "Princess Beatrice's hat looks like a uterus"). While most of the attention has been negative, Bea doesn't mind.

After the dress, the royal wedding is really all about the hats. And fascinators. Some opted for opulence while others stuck to tradition, and some looked as though they either over thought or put no thought into their head gear at all. Among the best were the devilishly elegant Zara Phillips, Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria, and Queen Sofia and Princess Letizia of Spain. But there were some who buckled under the pressure, as you will see after the jump.

LONDON--Fashion Week crowds across the globe are awaking from a bleary eyed winter slumber to the spectacle of the Fall 2011 collections. So what better timing than the night before London's catwalks ignite, for biannual magazine AnOther to celebrate its first decade of razor's edge fashion editorial. Editor-in-Chief Jefferson Hack placed illustrated birthday cards from designer pals--including Karl Lagerfield, Alber Elbaz of Lanvin, the Missoni family, Philip Treacy and Gareth Pugh--into the hands of local patissiers to create 10 birthday cakes on display through the weekend at Selfridges. "I wanted to inspire our readers with the insane possibilities of what can be achieved at the highest level in bringing fashion and food together," says Hack.

There's something about Pierre Hardy's shoes that are not only chic, but also cool. Whether he's creating affordable booties for Gap or a sky-high sandal in nearly-neon teals and melons, there's an architectural, thoughtful element to the form. Which means the final result is not as trendy or frilly as the styles of some of his contemporaries. And that's a good thing. Hardy's new shop in the West Village--his first outside of France--embraces this philosophy. Created in collaboration with MR architecture, the space is a mix of concrete planks with molded wood, concrete cubes where the shoes are arranged, and steal I-beams, which serve as markers, slicing the room into three or four distinct spaces. One section features custom leather flooring and smoked glass screens, which give customers more privacy when they're trying on shoes. The designer, whom we met this morning at 30 Jane Street, said that despite the space's--and the shoes'--industrial feel, in the end they "still have to be feminine."

1) Do you think Philip Treacy ever throws a diva fit and just hollers and screams at everyone? His reserve is impressive. 2) Did Ivy say she was inspired by hospital curtains? 3) The upside down rose hat didn’t work with Heidi’s mom-shag, did it? At least now we know why she was wearing it a few months ago.

1) How fantastically snarky is the editing this season? The St. Gretchen montage at the beginning of the show was classic. 2) Should we continue the Tim Gunn word-of-the-week? This week you must use “Schiaparelli-like” in a sentence. Alternatively, I’ll accept “woolly animal balls.” 3) Why didn’t Betsey Johnson do any cartwheels? 4) ”Mustache or no mustache?”--Mondo (This is a question I ask myself everyday.) 5) Was Michael’s comment: “Everyone knows you love a hot glue gun” to AJ a euphemism or not?

A recent survey conducted by MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk found that almost fifty percent of women prefer to keep their clothes on during sex. Why? According to the Telegraph, who first reported on the survey, 54 percent of women keep at least one item of clothing on while doing the nasty to "improve body confidence." We don't really buy it. Sex is about being naked, right? The survey sample size was only 1,563 people anyway. But we decided to have some fun with this and recommend some of the more ridiculous pieces of clothing and accessories to wear during sex. If you must. Here are our picks. What would you keep on?

Blow by Blow, a new play about the life of fashion icon Isabella Blow, will premiere at the 11th Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival next month. The play is unrelated to the Blow film, which is being produced by John Galliano. But much like the movie, the stage presentation will depict her life and death. Playwright Jean Bergantini Grillo spent the last three years crafting the script. Accomplished director Jen Forcino is at the production's helm, and she's brought on costume designer Susan Voelker to create the garments. (Voelker plans on re-imagining some of Blow's famous Philip Treacy hats for the stage.) We've got a feeling Voelker's going to be under more scrutiny than Grillo or Forcino in this circumstance.
