They may be students, but that didn’t stop the design students of the School of Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) from using their chance at Fashion W

After two seasons, Fashion Star, the fashion competition show that saw aspiring designers compete to have their wares sold by the likes of Macy's, Saks and Express, is no more. Luckily, there are a couple of shows in line to replace it.

One of our favorite things about the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards besides, you know, celebrating some of the best new talents in the industry, is seeing what fashion's inner circle will wear on the red carpet. Because when it's a real fashiony event, like this one, everyone steps up her game. Click through to see what everyone was wearing.

Production on the show's second season has been shut down until union crew members are given contracts.

Glamour ’s Fashion Editor-at-Large tells us about her new womenswear and footwear collection, her new Fashion Star gig, and her love for all things Kardashian and One Direction.

Karl Lagerfeld reveals who he thinks the 'sexiest' Middleton lady is. Yeah, he went there. {Grazia UK} Would Louise Roe be a good replacement for Elle Macpherson on Fashion Star? Well, we're all going to find out. {HuffPo} Betsey Johnson's daughter, Lulu, is launching a fashion line--but she's "toning down" the Betsey aesthetic. {Racked}

When the music started pulsing at Rebecca Taylor's fall/winter 2012 show, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Perhaps the impactful opening was on purpose as the new Rebecca Taylor girl is anything but shy. Gone were the frills and frippery of the brand's heyday, replaced by a veritable army of Lower East Siders. And while the proportions sometimes missed the mark, often coupled with unfortunate lace-trimmed leggings, the new RT gal is confidently styled, unafraid of tweed peplums, velvet sweats and illusion frocks.

Glamour's got a flashy new hire to go along with their new look (the mag just revealed a redesign for the important March spring fashion issue). Louise Roe has been named Fashion Editor at Large, just in time for fashion week. You might remember her as the cheery Brit who "stole" Olivia Palermo's "job" at Elle on The City, or more recently, as the host of the awesomely feel-good yet under-the-radar makeover show Plain Jane on the CW. “Anne Christensen and I are so excited to have Louise on board just as we're rolling out a new kind of Glamour," Cindi Leive said of the hire. "Louise is both aspirational It-girl and accessible chic, which exactly sums up what we're into at Glamour.” Roe, 29, is obviously psyched.

Rebecca Taylor is nothing if not a girl's girl, and she certainly knows how to please the ruffle-loving crowd. Exhibit A? Clad in appropriately embellished numbers, Louise Roe, Jordana Brewster, Ashley Tisdale, and (shocker!) Sophia Bush all sat front-row. Still, the designer opted for a more eccentric, even slightly subversive--for her, mind you--direction this particular season. Rather than being worn traditionally as looped necklaces, for instance, long strands of pearls finished with a single colorful tassel were slung cross-body like a fancypants sash. I, for one, dug the look, and may even have to rock my favorite pearls in similar form sometime soon. Snakeskin-patterned leather popped up, too--here as a peplum apron top, there as a cropped cardi-jacket, and it all looked nicely finished. Continuing their winning streak after being declared the embellishment du jour at Prada's fall show, champagne-colored paillettes appeared on tons of knit separates. They looked particularly cool on the open-weave cross-back tanks that showed a flash of skin in back--risqué, Rebecca!

India Pearl Chapman Arrives: It's a girl for 34-year-old Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman and husband Harvey Weinstein. Her name is India Pearl Chapman and she's Chapman's first child (Weinstein has three girls from a previous marriage). The NY Post cites one anonymous "pal" as saying, ""Let's all hope she looks like Georgina." Thanks for saying what we were all thinking, "pal." {NY Post} Lohan's First Post-Prison Cover: Lindsay Lohan graces the cover of Vanity Fair, giving the mag her first in depth post-jail interview. The shoot was Grace Kelley-inspired, and we've got to give it to Lilo, she looks the part. {Vanity Fair} Lion Cubs and Handbags Are Inappropriate Cover-Ups in Venice: Julianne Moore's campaign for Bulgari, in which the actress reclines naked covered only by lion cubs and a large Bulgari handbag, has been banned in Venice. “An advertisement showing a nude woman on a divan is not appropriate for St Mark’s Square,” Venice's mayor Giorgio Orsoni told the Italian press. {The Telegraph}

If you were bummed that City alum Louise Roe and her cheery British disposition didn't stick around to oust Olivia Polermo as the face of Elle.com, you should check out her new show Plain Jane tomorrow night at nine. You might have missed the premiere of her new CW reality show Plain Jane due to premiere-hype over another certain fashion reality show on Bravo, but it's worth tuning in tomorrow (or at least setting your DVR). It's a fashion reality show that's fun to watch not because it's bitchy or insidery but because the "Plain Janes" are compelling and relatable and Roe transforms them with charm and a healthy sense of humor. We talked to the rising fashion TV star about why she took on this project and ditched the City. Fashionista: How do you set yourself apart from all the other outsized fashion personalities on TV (Rachel Zoe, Kelly Cutrone, Stacy London, Heidi Klum etc.,)? Louise Roe: I don't really think about setting myself apart to be honest - all those people you mention are brilliant, they have their own style, and I guess I also have mine. I suppose the English accent and sense of humor is a bit different.

Vogue.TV just launched their new series, 60 Seconds to Chic. It's hosted by Louise Roe, who used to host videos for Vogue UK before moving to America
