On Vacation with DJ Chelsea Leyland

It’s summer! And that means on Fridays, everyone should be sneaking out of work a little bit early to go on a weekend jaunt or grab a drink on a sunny rooftop. The fashion industry, which works very hard, also knows a thing or two about how to cut loose. In our weekly Summer Friday column, we catch up with industry insiders to find out what they do, where they go, and what they bring with them when they escape the daily grind. We started our series this season with Rachel Zoe, stylist, editor, and designer extraordinaire, had a blast with our favorites in fashion like Tao Okamoto, Bag Snob's Tina Craig, and Rebecca Minkoff among others, and now we're concluding our series with DJ Chelsea Leyland.

Summer Fridays: On Vacation with Rachel Zoe

We were pretty surprised to learn that Rachel Zoe finds time to take a break from her crazy life as one of Hollywood's most in-demand stylists; but of course, she still jet-sets in style. From her packing essentials to whether it's ever acceptable to look like a tourist, here are Rachel Zoe's rules to traveling.

Summer Fridays: On Vacation with Karen Walker

It’s summer and that means on Fridays everyone should be sneaking out of work a little bit early to go on a weekend jaunt or grab a drink on a sunny rooftop. The fashion industry, which works really hard, also knows how to cut loose and play hard. In our new weekly column, called Summer Fridays, we catch up with industry insiders to find out what they do, where they go, and what they bring with them when they escape the daily grind. We've jetted off with the duo behind Timo Weiland and skipped town with Anna Sui. This week, we’re catching up with Karen Walker. Bon voyage! These days it’s difficult not to spot one of Karen Walker’s sunglasses on any of the young, hip, “in-the-know” women who are part of the fashion tribe. The whimsical sunnies—which are a hit among celebrities like Alexa Chung, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani and the likes—have quickly become synonymous with “cool” or “it” girls who run in the wild.

Summer Fridays: On Vacation with Model Liu Wen

Summer, summer, summertime—it’s time to kick back and rewind. Here at Fashionista we couldn’t agree any more. Especially on Fridays where we sneak out (or try to!) a little earlier to catch some extra rays leading up to the weekend. Join us as we present to you our new weekly column where we go on mini-vacays through the eyes of our favorite personalities in the fashionable kingdom. Last week, we caught up with DKNY PR Girl herself, Aliza Licht. This week? Superstar model Liu Wen. Bon voyage! Arguably one of the most visible faces in fashion today, Liu Wen has established herself as the first ever Asian supermodel. From campaigns with brands like Estee Lauder, to walking the Victoria’s Secret runways and shooting editorials for every top magazine ranging from Vogue, Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar to I-D and Numero, it’s no surprise Wen is ranked number six on the top fifty models on Models.com.
