J. Crew is on a roll. After reporting a strong sales lift two weeks ago (profits nearly doubled over the last year), the retailer has another exciting announcement: Their wares will now be available in Hong Kong and China, thanks to a new collaboration with luxury retailer Lane Crawford.

Hong Kong woman Dion Leung Wai-yin is seeking compensation from Lane Crawford for "depression" and "anxiety" after allegedly being locked in the department store's VIP room for, gasp!, more than 90 minutes, reports WWD. Leung had reportedly gone to the luxury department store to get a Chanel bag authenticated that she had bought there. She had noticed flaws in the bag, and after trying the Chanel store who reportedly refused to repair it, Leung took it back to Lane Crawford where she requested authentication and a full refund. It was then, in the V.I.P room, that Leung was treated to such atrocities as free drinks and chatty sales staff.

Online} New York Fashion Week was the Most Diverse It's Been in A Minute: The overwhelming majority (79.9%) of models who walked last week were white, but Jezebel found that NYFW was especially (term used loosely) diverse this year. Asian models represented the largest minority group at 8.8% , followed by black models making up 8.0% of the overall demographics. These are still rather paltry percentages if you ask us, but as they say: baby steps. {Jezebel}
