Hamish Bowles

They were fashionably early this year.

And Macy's may be about to sell the site of its Brooklyn store.

Jack White was there. Yea, we don't get it either.

This is just the palate cleanser we needed after that whole Jezebel/Lena Dunham Photoshop bounty thing.

Part of a trio of magazines that launched in 1980--which also included i-D and The Face--Blitz was the subversive fashion brainchild of university students Carey Labovitch and Simon Tesle. Former Blitz fashion editor Iain R. Webb has combined his impressive archive of photos with personal anecdotes from the models, photographers, and artists involved with each shoot for this unique take on the history of the mag in As Seen in BLITZ, out this month. Many of the images (including a rather unforgettable collage of Vogue editor Hamish Bowles in a Chanel twinset, a fresh-out-of-Parsons Marc Jacobs) haven't been seen since they were first published in the pages of Blitz 30 years ago. Here's what Webb had to say about Blitz's heyday.

What does an Anna Wintour-approved web series look like? Now, we know. Vogue's online programming will debut May 8 (after the Met Ball), and you can already watch teasers on the glossy's YouTube channel.

When Hamish Bowles presented Thom Browne with the Pratt Fashion Visionary Award at last night's Pratt Institute Fashion Show, he brought up Michelle Obama's choice of a Thom Browne coat on Inauguration day, calling it a "life-changing event" for the designer. Browne wouldn't disagree with that sentiment.

There truly weren't any disappointing ensembles here--proof that when you're going to a Vogue event, you have no choice but to bring your A-game.

There's no doubt that Anna Wintour and Mario Testino have a close working relationship--a fact that was underscored last night, at the opening of Testino's first US exhibition, "In Your Face," held at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Given the number of shots in the exhibition that come from Vogue editorials--and the number of Vogue covers Testino consistently shoots every year--it's obvious there's something between Anna and Mario that makes for great photos. So, when I saw Anna (looking fabulous in Prada S/S 2013, by the way) chatting with Vogue European editor-at-large Hamish Bowles at last night's cocktail reception (more on that later) I knew I had to ask them what it is about Mario that makes him one of Vogue's go-to photographer.

It was difficult not to be a bit starstruck having opportunity to chat candidly to Grace Coddington, who told us that even she gets stuck for inspiration sometimes (hard to believe!).

It's official: The series finale of Gossip Girl is a mere eleven episodes away. While many a cynic may argue that the show actually ended sometime during the second season, for us die-hard Upper East Side wannabes, this news is harder hitting than a Nairtini to the head. Of course, what we'll miss most of all is the fashion. Gossip Girl has been on top of the fashion game since its first "XOXO" way back in early 2007, and as the series progressed, the characters' signature styles arguably surpassed the plot development in terms of critical praise. Between Blair's preppy headbands, Chuck's dandy suits, and Serena's gravity-defying cleavage, the influence the kids of Constance have had on street style and fashion spreads alike is undeniable. So, as a tearful ode to our favorite CW soap, here's a look back at some of the style stand-outs that have made the last five years of impossible-to-follow plot lines a little more bearable.

The Clothes: Demure, almost prairie-like separates in dust tones. Boxy tops were paired with oversized bottoms for a loose, summery silhouette, and m

See how Michelle Obama's and Ann Romney's wardrobes differ--and what they say about their respective husband's philosophies. Romney's Oscar de la Renta apparently telegraphed "aspirational individualism" while Obama's more accessible Tracy Reese telegraphed "inspirational collectivism." Hm. {HuffPo} Hamish Bowles tells the Cut that the new Vogue documentary will be about the unsung heroes of fashion, the editors and photographers. {the Cut} Kim Kardashian is trying to start a beauty brand and is talking about the economy on CNBC. {Buzzfeed}
