• "Of course I am a Spice Girls fan. I love everything that teenage girls love. I am the oldest teenage girl." That's Michael Kors, who went to see the Spice Girls when they performed in the New York area this week. Other fashion world luminaries who showed up the concert to hear such sonic gems as "Two become One": ELLE editor-in-chief Roberta Myers and fashion director Nina Garcia, Harper's Bazaar EIC Glenda Bailey, and Vogue European editor-at-large Hamish Bowles.

Last night at The Box nightclub here in New York, the British designers behind Rodnik (Philip Colbert and Richard Ascott) showed their Fall/Winter 2008 collection in a somewhat interesting way: Instead of a runway and floodlights and rows and rows of chairs, the designers decided to publicly perform a set of really, really bad rock songs while their models chilled on stage. Yes, Rodnik is not only a fashion label, but a band! (Drums and vocals, specifically.) And damn if everyone wasn't totally behind them in their endeavor. There was laughter, free booze, and even dancing by fashion industry gatekeepers Anne Slowey (of Elle) and Andre Leon Talley (you know where he works.)

Our intense agony over not being in London is only further aggravated after seeing the beyond divine showings on Wednesday. There was Diane von Furstenberg's creative director Nathan Jenden, who showed a superb high architectural collection built in black and white (image at left). Prodigal son Matthew Williamson brought high Bohemia back to his motherland after a 5-year period of exile in New York, and ol' timer Nicole Farhi went slightly tribal. Jens Laugesen and Rodnik, the up-and-comers, also but forth strong, bold and modern lines. The only loser in our eyes? House of Holland.
