Irina Lazareanu

Monday was a good day for both clothes and celeb spotting at the London shows. While London front row faves Irina Lazareanu and Harley Viera-Newton chatted at Pringle of Scotland, Tilda Swinton quietly and gracefully swanned in and took her seat. She's completely stunning, and rather unassuming in real life, posing for pictures then quietly sitting down. And tall! Pringle should have begged her to take to the runway for them. Speaking of the runway, you'll recall that Pringle has had some creative director upheaval. Clare Waight Keller went to Chloé early in the summer; this is Alistair Carr's first collection for the label. For his first outing, he mined the 1960s and the Pringle archive, specifically riffing on the twinset.

Markus Lupfer is another one of these great London-based designers poised to break into the American market in a big way. His fun, knitwear-heavy line is sold in several stores in the UK, Shopbop, Net-a-porter, Opening Ceremony, and has just been picked up by Neiman Marcus and Barneys—perhaps two of the most important retail doors this side of the Atlantic Ocean. He has done collaborations with Cacharel and Mulberry and found fans in girls like Daisy Lowe, Lily Allen, Alexa Chung and Florence Welch. The latter actually starred in Markus’ latest project, a short film directed by Tabitha Denholm, in which Welch, Irina Lazareanu, Sadie Frost, Mary Charteris, Valentine Fillol-Cordier, Margo Stilley, Jan DeVilleneuve, Liddie Holt and Gary Card, play characters with bizarre afflictions and personality disorders. Called The Puzzle of the Mysterious Mind, the humorous, tongue-in-cheek film is meant to have the feel of a ‘60s mockumentary. Florence, for example, plays an extreme clothes hoarder while Irina is globophobic, meaning she has a fear of balloons. Each character is dressed to the nines in Markus Lupfer resort, which we got to see up close at Monday night’s screening event at the Mondrian Soho penthouse. There are many of his signature knits with fun stripes and colorful sequined embroidery, like trompe l’oeil belts and red-lipped mouths, plus a few great mini dresses.

California girls reported for duty at Charlotte Ronson’s military inspired show last night. Army green, camel, and charcoal dominated the color palette of tweed shorts, cropped jackets, beanies, and loose fitting fair-isle sweaters. As always, Ronson infused her laid-back west coast style into the collection. Her soldiers wore printed skirts, hole-y tights, John Lennon-style Ray Bans, ombre cotton shirts, and comfy sweater pants that we definitely want to live in this fall. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Ronson show without a good celeb spotting (Kim Kardashian!) and an appearance by a Ronson sibling. Sister Annabelle Dexter-Jones smirked her way down the runway in a riding jacket layered over a green silk romper, and then made her exit arm in arm with model Irina Lazareanu. **All photos by Imaxtree.

K-Stew's Vogue Cover Leaks: We told you yesterday that Kristen Stewart was Vogue's February cover girl and now the good people at The Fashion Spot have scanned it in. She's wearing Proenza Schouler and looks every bit as angsty and miz as we expected. Thoughts? {The Fashion Spot} Miss Piggy, French Vogue Editrix: In Jason Segal's (swoon) new Muppet Movie, set for release in February 2012, Miss Piggy will be an editor at French Vogue. Wait, I thought Emmanuelle Alt was the new editor? {Vogue UK} Marc Jacobs 16 Fresh Faces to Watch: For Louis Vuitton's spring jewelry collection campaign, Jacobs chose to feature 16 up-and-comers spanning the globe, from actresses to athletes to scenesters, instead of going with established models. The line up? Mary Charteris, aristrocrat and fashionista from London; Daria Schieferstein, tennis player; Nathalie Love, actress; Charlotte Lebon, French TV presenter and illustrator; Camille Rowe-Pourcheresse, actress and top model from Paris; Mahini Geisweiller, Parisian singer; Lina Esco, Actress; Billie Porter, reporter and party girl from London; Clara 3000, DJ from Paris; Rinko Kikuchi, actress from Tokyo; Alka Balbir, singer; Hailey Gates, actress. {Telegraph}

Heidi Klum Bids Farewell to VS: After 13 years of wearing the VS Angel wings, Heidi Klum says good bye to Victoria's Secret. With only four official angels left, and two of them pregnant, who will walk the November 10th show? Will a new angel be named? We smell a reality show. {Fashionologie} Lorenzo Martone, Now Party of One: Lorenzo Martone, best known as Marc Jacobs ex, has given the NYT a look at his life post-Marc. He dishes on his relationship with Marc and the connections he made while they were together. {The New York Times} Nasty Breakup?: Yesterday, we told you about the amicable split between Rachel Zoe and her assistant, Brad Goreski. But today, PopEater is reporting that the split was a tad more tumultuous then previously reported. "Brad was sitting on the front row of every show and getting invited to as may events as his boss. However the final straw was when Brad appeared on the cover of The New York Times style section. Rachel hit the roof and reminded him he was her assistant and it was called 'The Rachel Zoe' show not the Brad Goreski show. That was the moment that the two of them were over." This is bananas. {PopEater}
