Assuming an alternate stance to our barf bag route, a woman in London is giving out well-balanced bagged lunches to models outside of the major show venues during London Fashion Week: "They contain a range of food including salads, fruit and flapjacks. All the food is labeled with detailed nutrition information." We would pay to have someone bring us a pancake-filled, bagged lunch right about now. It seems so unfair, especially since you know those girls aren't going to eat their pancakes anyway! [Daily Mail]

'NY Times' Fashion Critic Cathy Horyn Trash-Talks Vera Wang; Gets Herself Banned From Carolina Herrera

  • NY Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn (left) ate Cheerios, ran into a bunch of famous people she knows, got coffee, saw a Vera Wang show that was supposed to be about "Rome" and she totally didn't see what was so "Rome" about it. Her blog is sort of like Cory Kennedy's blog, only with better punctuation.[NYT]
  • Speaking of Horyn, she was banned from designer Carolina Herrera's show, happening today, after trashing her collection even more viciously than Vera Wang's last season. [Fashion Week Daily]
  • Fashion Week (which in case you hadn't realized, we're currently in the middle of) has just struck a deal enabling it to keep itself in Bryant Park for two more years. Bryant Park has been very vocal about wanting the fashion folk gone, presumably because they're tired of cleaning up all the barf. We credit our barf bags for the park allowing the shows to stay!

Our Barf Bags Were A Hit, Except With, You Know, The Models

Some of you are wondering about the reaction to our distribution of vomit bags in front of the fashion shows. Here's the report: People — like the ladies seen above — seemed to love them. Earlier this afternoon, we spoke to our two "stewardesses", model Dina Davis, and stylist/model Levon Saunders, both of whom handed out bags with accompanying lines like "Enjoy this after lunch!" and "Psst, take one, it's what all the models are doing!". Below, check out a gallery from today's stunt (click on any picture to see entire gallery). After the jump, hear what Dina and Levon had to say about the experience of encouraging eating disorders among the fashion flock.

Fashion Week Make You Want To Hurl? We're Here To Help

We couldn't let our first Fashion Week go by without making some sort of a statement, right? Yeah, well, today that statement shat itself all over the steps leading up to the tents in midtown Manhattan's Bryant Park. At precisely 2pm today, two badass young broads clad in eggplant-hued stewardess outfits sidled up to the cement staircase facing NYC's 6th Avenue bearing gifts for the dazzling yet dispossessed: Jezebel barf-bags. (Yes, real, airline-approved barf-bags). Inside the bags? More fashionista fun, namely, Ex-Lax, tongue depressors and, to top it all off, Tic-Tacs. (Who doesn't need a little freshening up after a particularly purge-worthy display of expensive shit?). Below, a gallery of more pictures. (Click on any picture to see entire set)
