Michael Kors Fall 2013: Glam Fashletes

The energy could not be higher in the room as Michael Kors presented his fall 2013 collection, despite the fact that between Nemo and the Grammys this fashion week has been rendered considerably less star-studded. Leave it to Kors to score a front row coup of Hilary Swank-next to-Zoe Saldana-next to-Jada Pinkett Smith-chaperoning Willow Smith-a few seats down from-Michael Douglas. In contrast with the celeb-second coming in the front row, Kors’s runway featured a team of “commando-glam fashletes”.

Aerin Lauder's Lifestyle Brand is Happening, Will Include a Makeup Line Sold by Estée Lauder

Estée Lauder has confirmed earlier reports this week that its creative director, Aerin Lauder, is launching her own lifestyle brand, tentatively called AERIN. And while this is a completely separate company from Estée, the beauty heiress will continue to play a major role in her grandmother's firm. “I’m thrilled to continue playing an active role in the iconic Estée Lauder brand, including serving as global brand ambassador and spokesperson," she said in the statement. "At the same time, I look forward to pursuing my vision to create the AERIN brand."

Aerin Lauder Wants to Launch Her Own Lifestyle Brand With the Help of Anna Wintour

After last week's New York Times profile of the Lauder family, one would assume the clan was planning on maintaining a united front for the time being. Indeed, the piece even suggested that Aerin Lauder, granddaughter of Estée, was aiming for her highly-influential grandmother's throne. Instead, it seems that the beauty heiress is instead following in Estée's entrepreneurial footsteps. She plans to launch her own lifestyle brand over the next year, according to the New York Post. Helping her pave the way for the label--which will include jewelry, home goods, fashion and more--are Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour and former NBC head Jeff Zucker, who's been brought on as a consultant.
