Hannah Bronfman

At any other show, it would have felt like a cliché.

Stuart Weitzman has designed shoes for everyone from the Queen of England to Beyonce, but it's his staple 50/50 boot that has truly become a legacy. The elastic-backed, knee-high style is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year (time flies, eh?), and Weitzman is feting in a major way: He's designed 10 exclusive styles of the 50/50 boot for Gilt.

In the midst of studying for her communications degree, Kira planned a blowout event—flying in a bajillion editors, family and friends from Russia and a private jet full of industry people from New York City for a whirlwind 36-hours of first class Russian-slash-Texan hospitality.

Though it has a loyal following, the Dominican blowout has yet to reach the notoriety of say, its Brazilian cousin--mostly because a lot of women don't know how good they are. Lucky you have us to tell you! Click through for five reasons why your next blowout should be a Dominican-style one.

I'm not sure what to expect from Maria Giulia Maramotti, one the heiresses to the MaxMara throne (she's the U.S. director of retail for the Italian brand and the granddaughter of the founder). We're scheduled to meet at the Beverly Hills Hotel's posh Polo Lounge for breakfast, just days before the Women in Film Crystal & Lucy Awards, which MaxMara sponsors. A fancy location to meet a fancy sounding person, I think. Only Maramotti is completely disarming in person. She's charming and open and more than game to discuss her seven tattoos (which she initially hid from her mom), her serious devotion to Keith Richards (one of her tats spells out "Gimme Shelter") and how she wants to change the perception of MaxMara ("it can be a little more young and funky").

“So much better than last year” was the chorus heard time and time again at the Whitney Art Party and auction last night at Skylight at Moynihan Station. Presented by MaxMara, with co-chairs Maria Giulia Maramotti (MaxMara's director of retail, and granddaughter of the brand's founder), entrepreneur Hannah Bronfman, and actress/model Nichole Galicia, the event managed to raise over $450,000 for the Whitney’s Independent Study Program. A fashion brand getting behind an art institution; we support that.

DJ, model, actress, music label owner, restaurateur, and style It Girl Hannah Bronfman has a new slash. And it’s not the slash of midriff she exhibited in a very cute twin set crop top at Organic by John Patrick's show two weeks ago, where she also served as the designer’s unofficial muse.

The Fashionista team hit the road today to venues around Manhattan to kick off New York fashion week. (Even though tomorrow is "officially" day one of New York fashion week, with close to 20 shows today, we think it counts.) From J.Brand's fashion week debut to pink fur at Tanya Taylor to carousel rides and Ne-Yo at the Prabal Gurung for Target launch party, click through to see what we saw.

After 16 years in the biz, Monique Lhuillier opened her first New York flagship on 71st and Madison last night. The designer referred to the boutique as a 'jewel box' to highlight her designs, and the gorgeous Waterford chandeliers and grey suede walls certainly did just that. Housed in a 19th century townhouse, the 3000 square foot, two story space actually feels quite intimate thanks to small rooms and nooks throughout. We caught a quiet moment with Lhuillier, who juggles being a mother and wife with her super successful bridal and mainline collections. And she looks utterly glamorous while she does it.
