Even if you can't make it to Paris, you can still shop the exclusive capsule collection.

Did you know Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough once wanted to work in glassblowing? Yea, neither did we. Check out 11 more facts about the design duo you probably didn't know. {Racked} Former Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr hit the runway for the first time this season at Stella McCartney--and there was nary a feather in sight. {HuffPo} Kim Kardashian has been flaunting her post-baby bod (and newly blonde hair!) all over Paris Fashion Week.

Proenza Schouler's Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez can always be relied upon to move the fashion conversation forward. In their spring 2014 collection, you could see elements of resort (in the use of pleats) and some continuation of last season's more sculptural and demure themes in a jacket here and there; but for the most part, the ideas were new. In a sort of seasonal reversal, this spring collection has a heavier, more grounded feel, while fall was full of crisp white looks.

Proenza Schouler turns 10 this year. To celebrate, Barneys is re-releasing the label's first-ever collection (with some tweaks of course). When Barneys famously snapped up Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough's Parsons senior thesis collection back in 2003 it gave the label instant, well-deserved buzz--buzz that hasn't worn off over the last decade: Proenza Schouler nabbed their third CFDA womenswear designer of the year award this past Monday. (Talk about good timing.)

Yet again, Proenza Schouler's Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez sent out a great collection that showed strength and originality. Things got real nuts (in a good way) towards the end of the collection when various digital prints (including photoprints that almost looked abstract) cut into bias strips were patchworked together on dresses and landscape prints were covered in silver grommets. Apparently those fantastic digital prints were inspired by the Internets.

Carey Mulligan Got Married in Prada... and Pink Wellies: Raaain on your wedding day... will force you to wear galoshes. Carey Mulligan eschewed bespoke Christian Louboutin blue-soled bridal pumps, opting for a pair of pink Wellies due to inclement weather. {Fabsugar UK} Vena Cava Talks LF USA Partnership, Cat Food: The folks over at Refinery 29 sat down with Vena Cava designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Maycock to talk about how LF USA saved their brand, and future plans for their label, which could include cat food. {Refinery 29} Lady Grantham Lost Her Luggage: The Downton Abbey star says that on her way to the premiere of her new movie, Cheerful for the Wedding, her luggage (which included her dress for the event) got lost.

Miranda Kerr Stars in Japanese Lipton Commercial: In her best Captain Morgan stance, the Victoria's Secret model robotically sings a song in Japanese about "Limones" in what appears to be a hotel lounge full of old men. It's weird, to say the least... (Daily Mail) The CFDA is Doing a Designer Exchange With China: The council is sending Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez to Shanghai to participate in an exchange with Chinese designer Uma Wang. The initiative is supposed to encourage American designers to tap into Asian markets, where as we well know, there is a lot of money to be made. {WWD subscription required} Franca Sozzani to Receive French Legion of Honor: Franca Sozzani is finally getting the sort of lofty credit she is due. On March 13, the Italian Vogue editor will be knighted into the French Legion of Honor, the highest accolade a citizen can receive in France. Last year, the award was bestowed upon Anna Wintour. Congratulations to Franca! {WWD subscription required}

McCOLLOUGH: The whole reason why we even picked that name in the first place was that when we started, Barneys had just bought our collection and we d

A lady sitting near me at Proenza Schouler--you know this lady, she's very important in fashion circles--said nonchallantly to her acquaintance, "There are only two New York shows that I'm really ever that excited about: Proenza Schouler and Rodarte." Her friend quietly agreed. While we're not that jaded, there is something about both labels, designed by young twenty-somethings of the same sex--one pair happens to be sisters, the other, friends--that makes their runways more significant than really anything else happening at New York Fashion Week. Of course, there's the cool factor--tonight Jen Brill, Terry Richardson, Liv Tyler, and Chloe Sevigny were all front row--but it's also about talent.

In the midst of this week's shows there are some truly interesting conversations going on at Milk Studios. I've been fortunate enough to sit in on two of them. Thursday night, it was the Proenza Schouler talk at the IFB conference. Design duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez sat down with the Business of Fashion's Imran Amed to discuss The Web. (As in bloggers, e-commerce, and viral campaigns.)

Five years ago, who would have thought someone could make a viable and profitable career out of...well...fashion blogging? It's safe to say that a certain set of bloggers (ahem, Susie Bubble and Bryanboy) have proven the naysayers wrong. During Fashion Week, Independent Fashion Bloggers is hosting a seriously major conference at Milk studios in NYC (February 10-11, 2011) that any budding blogger should attend. The two day conference will be packed with panels, workshops, and a party, plus you’ll score a fabulous gift bag. You’ll also learn about digital marketing, monetizing your blog, the evolution of the industry, and more from blogosphere and online media names like Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine, Face Hunter’s Yvan Rodic, Fashionista alum Faran Krentcil of Nylon, and Tumblr fashion director Rich Tong. The best part? Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are giving the keynote speech.

Kristen Stewart's Vogue cover leaked last week and now the official cover story, plus photos from her spread, shot by Mario Testino, are up on Vogue.com. Vogue's cover girls are often made to look too "Vogue"--too sleek and plastic and photoshopped but Stewart looks every bit the angst-ridden 20-year-old we know and love on February's cover. She looks beautiful, and a little miserable. Which is kind of how she looks on every red carpet. Stewart's Vogue fittingly seizes on her love for Proenza Schouler.

After living here for a while, you sometimes forget how many amazing people live and work in New York City. When we walked into City Hall for the Fashion's Night Out kick-off press conference today, we went through security with Lisa Mayock from Vena Cava. Then, we saw Anna Wintour walking ahead of us and Alex Wang suddenly appeared behind us. A few minutes later Marc Jacobs, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez walked in. After we were seated inside the press conference room, the following people (in addition to the aforementioned) surrounded the podium: Prabal Gurung, Zac Posen, Phillip Lim, Tracy Reese, Kenneth Cole, Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, Tommy Hilfiger, Thakoon Panichgul, Marcus Wainwright from Rag & Bone, Francisco Costa, Vera Wang, Tory Burch, Steven Kolb, Linda Fargo, the Mayor...and after a few moments, we noticed tiny Mary-Kate Olsen peeking her head out behind Marc. Then, unfortunately, we died and are thus unable to report anything else about Fashion's Night Out. Just kidding - sort of.
