New York Look, the biannual magazine put out by New York magazine which covers the two major fashion seasons, has been put on hold--at least for this season. New York magazine told WWD they will consider publishing the magazine again next Fall, but nothing is certain.

Zappos is selling a $50,000 t-shirt that will give the customer free reign to block one person from shopping on the website--for life. We're waiting for the t-shirt to show up on Canal Street.

Topshop's Spring look book has started to circulate and fans are revisiting the Spring preview in anticipation for a New York store opening. The Soho store was meant to open in October of 2008 but the date has been pushed back to March of this year--at least for now.

Badgley Mischka has announced that they will lower the prices of their Fall 09 collection. We're wondering if this means lower quality fabrics, or less complicated garments from the brand. Check out the Spring 09 collection right here.

About 100 to 150 executive jobs in the central offices in Lord & Taylor’s Fifth Avenue flagship and at branch stores are expected to be eliminated, sources said to Women's Wear Daily. Executive positions in support functions such as human resources, finance and planning, and possibly department managers are among those said to be affected.

Hal Kahn, the former chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s East, has come out of retirement to become ceo of Steve & Barry’s. The N.Y.-based specialty chain known its cheap celebrity-endorsed lines went bankrupt in July and was bought out of Chapter 11 by Bay Harbour Management in August.

In the first 90 minutes alone, shoppers at FFANY Shoes on Sale’s annual benefit Wednesday night at the Waldorf bought more than 33,000 pairs of half-priced shoes, raising more than $1 million for breast cancer research and education.

Mark Badgley and James Mischka will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their company this spring and to celebrate they are launching Badgley Mischka Couture a new fragrance that they will introduce in February.

As much as we tire of saying it, times are hard what with major investment banks going bankrupt and all, so its really not a surprise that so many designers are feeling a little blue about the future. Either that or all the textile mills had a surplus of the stuff and on down the chain of production it went. Either way deep blue from sky to sea were seen on the runways of Badgley Mischka, Reem Acra, Marc Jacobs, Doo.Ri, Rodarte, Iodice, Ports 1961, Carlos Campos, Y3, Alexander Wang, Catherine Holstein, Vanexiana, Alice McCall, and Michael Angel

If you want an up close and personal look at what is going to be hot in handbags for Spring 2009 then Sole Commerce, Coterie's sister at the Javitt's Center, is a great place to start. LAI, Badgley Mischka, Rafe, Lauren Merkin, and Dusica and Dusica were some of our favorites. Jewel tones, exotics, patents and hardware all clearly remain big sellers but our personal favorites were the nudes at Dusica and Dusica!
