Spending New Years Eve at Studio 54 in 1978 kind of puts our plans to shame---WWD remembers the night Andre Leon Tally saved Diana Ross from falling on the dance floor. Love that guy.
You might not be able to afford Marc Jacobs anymore but don't blame the little girl sitting across from you on the bus. Designer clothing for children--thanks to Phillip Lim Kids, Little Ella Moss, and Little Marc Jacobs--is a growing market indeed.
Editors, buyers, and rich foreign women passing on the couture shows is like a smoker choosing a piece of cantaloupe over a cigarette. Healthy as it might be, it just doesn't seem right.
Prada "renovates" and proves to New York that the UES doesn't need all that Rem Koolhaus glitz and glam to sell handbags. Racked gets the inside shots.

If you're a woman who likes high fashion and a cozy pair of long johns, this is your collection. Junya Watanabe showed, in
his Fall 2008 collection, garments constructed (yes, that is the word) predominately from jersey. It's funny, because just the other day we were somewhat rolling our eyes at the highly marketable, over saturated textile that designers like
Ella Moss,
Splendid, and
Rachel Pally use to cloth college-age girls across this sweatpants-loving country. Watanabe, proves, rather pointedly, that though a fabric may lend itself to simply patterns and mass production, doesn't mean it's inherently idiotic. In this collection the drapery and tailoring are what stand out, where you might look at the garment for a full two minutes (a lifetime these days) before sorting out just where the limbs are poking out in relation to where seams are placed. It's true magic, if you ask us, and magic is good for but one thing, namely, a lesson in perception.
