Diana Vreeland

See which stars, socialites and scenesters made Vanity Fair's iconic list.

Bury your nose in these books about the fashion industry.

Andre Leon Talley is one of the most beloved, larger-than-life (literally and figuratively) personalities in the fashion industry. So it's fitting that he was the latest fashion figure to sit down at the 92Y with Fern Mallis for her "Fashion Icons" series.

"You have to have chutzpah, you have to be brave and go for it," Zac Posen told the audience as the keynote speaker at Fashionista's first ever conference, "How To Make It in Fashion." "I said, 'They see me as some kind of little prince character, so let's be that.' It created this myth." Posen opened up about the man behind the myth.

Robert Pattinson's Dior ads won't officially hit until September, but thanks to some sneaky Instagram shots, you can get an early preview. And we like what we see. Yum. {BuzzFeed} Tyra Banks has set her smize on a new obsession: Bacon! No Beggin' Strips for this supe... {US Weekly} Will the fashion world ever get tired of Karlie Kloss? (Unlikely!) Check out her latest ad for Jean Paul Gaultier. {Design Scene}

If you're anything like us at this time of year, you've spent hours traveling by plane, train, or automobile to the town--tiny or not--that you grew up in order to spend some relaxing days with your family and friend. Left with no work assignments to complete (we hope), and having accomplished all your gift giving goals you desperately need a fashion fix...and boy have we got you covered. What follows is a comprehensive list list of the most fabulous of fab fashion films to get you through those cold hard winter nights in EverywherebutNewYorkville, USA. Add your own suggestions in the comments. Happy couching!

From Mario Testino to Vogue.

Diana Vreeland may have passed away over two decades ago, but the influential fashion editor's legacy is very, very alive. On the heels of the announ

Ever since Alexander McQueen's Met Exhibit shattered records, more and more museums have been opening their hallowed halls to display clothing--not ar

Calvin Klein's Baby Boyfriend Drama: Twenty-two-year-old ex-porn star Nick Gruber, who shares a suspiciously similar hairstyle and skin smoothness with his 69 y.o. designer beau, was arrested yesterday on charges of assault, resisting arrest, and cocaine possession-- in that order. It seems the law has come between him and his Calvin. {NY Post} UGG Opening New NYC Flagship: After the apocalypse, the only things left will be rats, Cher, and Uggs. The fuzzy boot retailer, which continues to expand against all the fashion faux pas odds, will open a 2,500-sq-foot store in NYC's Meatpacking District this fall. {WWD} John Varvatos Doesn't Fancy Fashion Star Theatrics: The Fashion Star mentor isn't very into the ridiculous shenanigans that explode onstage during the clothing presentations on his reality show. "If the show continues to go on," he'd apparently like to see less of these distractions. Hold on-- if? IF?? But what on Earth would we do on Tuesday nights without this glorious, fashion forward, relevant celebrity-driven concoction of a series? I can't bear the thought. {BuzzFeed}

Given the record-breaking success of this year's Alexander McQueen retrospective at the Met, museums would be smart to put more fashion in their halls. And if today's piece in WWD on museums "getting fashionable" is any indication, they are. Harold Koda, curator in charge of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, told the trade, “Clearly the critical as well as popular success of the McQueen show suggests that fashion design has a more secure place in the precincts of an art museum.” While any museum would be hard-pressed to recreate the magic that was "Savage Beauty," more fashion exhibits are popping up all over the world and several big ones are already on track to debut next year.

It's officially mid-November, which means it's probably time to start shopping for holiday gifts...or at least thinking about it. Not sure what to get your fashion-obsessed loved one? This year, we'd recommend a pretty fashion book, especially because there are so many good ones that have come out recently. Who wouldn't want a photographic look back at the house of Gucci or Carine Roitfeld's career sitting on their coffee table? We certainly do, so we've compiled what we believe are the 10 best fashion books to have come out this year. And if you end up buying one of them for yourself, that's okay. We won't tell!

Some of you are just back to school and some of us are sadly done with school for good but we remember how fun it was to gather all your required back-to-school reading and dive in (okay, we were nerds). So in the spirit of the back-to-school reading list, we've put together a list of some awesome, essential, fashion reading. There are some really beautiful and important fashion books out recently and they are worth investing in. And that means actually going and buying the hardcover versions because these books are filled with Karl Lagerfeld illustrations, Diana Vreeland-styled editorials, and more really good stuff. Stuff not to be wasted on an e-reader. Click through to see your required reading. Don't skim! There will be a quiz!

Preview Lauren Conrad's Fall 2011 Line For Kohl's: Filled with floaty blush-toned blouses and pleated skirts, the fall Lauren Conrad for Kohl's line screams LC without the Paper Crown pricetag. {Examiner} Video: Behind-The-Scenes of NYMag's Andrej Pejic Cover: Go behind the photographer's lens of NYMag's fall fashion issue and watch Pejic and other cover stars Issebella Rossellinni and Elettra Wiedemann, China Machado and Shala Monroque do their thang. {The Cut} First Look at Mark Fast For Aldo: Going off the sketch of a fringed wedge sandal, it looks like the collection might not be out until next resort (though there's no official word). We'll wait, since it sounds awesome: Fast described it as "sexy, strong, fierce African fabulousness." {Catwalk Queen}

See what Fashionista is loving for June after the jump!

"Nothing gives the luxury of pearls. Keep them in mind." Part of a memo from legendary Vogue editrix Diana Vreeland to her 1966 staff, which included

As a writer, I spend a good amount of my life reading other people's words. And most of those words are about fashion. So in the spirit of sharing, I've put together a recommended reading list for those who work in, want to work in, or simply love, fashion. In addition to my own thoughts, I've conulted Fashionista's contributors, sources and friends. This list is by no means comprehensive, but these books have taught me a lot about the industry's past--as well as it's future.

Shield Your Eyes: This slideshow of ugly jeans will probably make you feel sick. It's unbelievable what designs exist. {Refinery 29} Shades to Die For: New sunglasses line Illesteva seeks to produce the illest shades ever. Their campaign models are old men from Miami. It's unclear what definition of "ill" they're going for. {Style.com} Summer Love: Behati and her real life boyfriend, Jamie Strachan, get intimate for the summer issue of i-D. It's steamy, sexy, and probably NSFW. {Fashion Gone Rogue} Tyra Does McQueen: Tyra created a tribute spread to Lee McQueen in her online magazine. It features André Leon Talley, and Tyra, of course. {Tyra.com}

Vivienne Westwood's quite the quote-worthy designer. She had some pretty good thoughts to share recently on Jonathan Ross' talk show, and The Guardia
