Last night I was at a bar in Saint Germain called Le Lup watching YSL designer Stefano Pilati, actress Chloe Sevigny, and Dior Jewelry designer Victoire de Castellane take turns deejaying the Self Service/Colette Party. It was such a trip—they had hired these great dancers to vogue on stage, and editors were letting loose on the dance floor. I knew I'd be exhausted this morning, the last day of the shows, but it was worth it...

The production at this morning’s Chanel show at the Grand Palais was so good that I wondered to myself: what they will do next year—land a helicopter on the stage?
I’m going with the Broadway comparison because there was this pretty, functioning carousel (Carousel is my favorite of all the Rodgers and Hammerstein œuvre), and we even got to see Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha dance a little! It was less Brigadoon and more Grease, though…
My friend and I went to a book signing and cocktail party for the Warhol by Galella book at Le Bon Marché department store tonight. We thought we could take advantage of the store’s extended hours and do a little shopping tour. Well, we tried, but our hearts just weren’t in it. Hey, we’ve seen a lot of pretty dresses this week!
Maybe it’s too early to be handing out awards, but it feels like a quick roundup of some Fashion Week favorites (in the non-sartorial categories of invites, music, and special effects), could be just what we need…
If Stella McCartney ever tells her models to stop smiling on the catwalk, I will be really disappointed. It’s a good reason to drag yourself out of bed on the morning after the heaviest show day of the week, put on your platform boots, and truck on over—because you probably don’t want to miss the top models smiling on the catwalk…
Four leading men’s store owners and managers take on the latest styles—and talk about how the outré and the avant-garde might fly in Chicago
We’re a few days into Fashion Week, and I’ve been seeing Chicago model Karlie Kloss (featured in our March issue) everywhere! This is the 15-year-old rising star’s second season of shows, and editors are chatting about the certain flair she brings to her walk (they’re calling it “The Kloss”). The Kloss is slow, with little upper body movement, ribcage canted back, and chin tilted far down, which apparently makes her look like a…
Yohji Yamamoto sent out an army of great little chic coats with interesting details last night—little body-hugging jackets with cinched waists, in leather and wool. All they needed to go from runway to Rush Street was a pairing with a cool jean or trouser…
The elegant designs at this high-end boutique are modern, fresh, and a magnet for compliments
How do designs go from the runway to boutiques? Three visionary shop owners reveal their strategies
A Good Pair

Kinga, which first opened in Hinsdale seven years ago, has opened its first city boutique in the former Red 21 space. “We had a lot of clients in the city who wanted us to open…
