Thakoon Panichgul's advice to the winners of the 2009 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, "“Use the money wisely; it goes really quickly! And don’t spend it on an after-party!”
Another model marries another millionaire. This time it's Snejana Onopka.
MyFDB.com—the IMDB of fashion—will log editorial and advertising credits for photographers, stylists, models, and hair and makeup talent.
Another reason why we love Nick Knight's SHOWstudio: Gareth Pugh will be streamed live for three days while working on designs to be sold in Knight's shop.

Who says ladylike ruffles and bows have to be sweet? We prefer a slight edge with our frothy looks and gravitate towards ready-to-wear and accessories that mix innocence with a heavy dose of tough chic—think pearls paired with gold hardware, trompe l'oeil bows, and raw-edged chiffon.
Much-loved by wide-shouldered power-dressers in the Eighties, the bold brooch is back—but this time around it's not about jewel-encrusted serpents and cheetahs. Lanvin's Alber Elbaz designed two of our favorite whimsical pins, both perfect when piled on in pairs and worn with a ladylike dress or added as an afterthought to a favorite handbag.
Clockwise from left: Lanvin phython handbag $1965 Kirna Zabete, Ashish tiger-patern sequined tank $365 Net-a-Porter, Peter Som bomber jacket $1495 Kirna Zabete, Nina Peter cracked leather glovesd $210 Net-a-Porter, Lanvin printed python ballerina flat $525 Barneys New York, Nancy Gonzalez crocodile clutch $1995 MyTheresa, Loonglines metallic lace bra $36 Topshop, Lanvin cut out slingback $1040 Barneys New York.
Shades of gold, silver, copper, and pewter mix together in a pair of leather gloves, python ballet flats, a crocodile clutch, and lace lingerie. A dynamic sense of texture—interesting ombre patterns, cracked leather, exotic skins, and quilted details—separate these metallic must-haves from the rest.
For cruise, Alber Elbaz showed off outfits that would suit Lanvin ladies on both holiday and beach occasions. Salable yet over-the-top with optimism these highly accessorized offerings will hopefully mean bright things for the Spring 2010 collection. Fall 2009 was serious and dramatic at Lanvin but if we know Elbaz, we know that he can't resist making a happy spring statement.
