It was around 26° last night when the amfAR New York Gala kicked off Fall 2013 Fashion Week. For some attendees, it was important to be somewhat weather-appropriate. Other folks just went right ahead and wore sheer dresses and showed plenty of skin, hypothermia (and good taste) be damned.
Paris Fashion Week is the real deal, and it's here you'll find the highest concentration of style icons in one place. Kate, Beth, Charlotte — you name it, they were at the tents and looking, well, iconic!
The French Vogue 90th Anniversary Party was a star-studded, high-fashion, My Fair Lady-style masquerade. And in the immortal words of Liz Lemon, we want to go to there.

No, literally. Lagerfeld's countrified models writhed in haystacks and walked the runway with a side of hayseed. Whatever the opinions of Rihanna, Claudia and the other front-row staples, one thing's for sure: it's impossible to know what Prince was thinking.
A little birdie who would know tells us that a little birdie told him that the hummus in question that fueled the whole Leigh Lezark-Cory Kennedy rumble was not hummus at all... but tabbouleh.
Fashion Week Gossip! We thought It Girl Cory Kennedy seemed a little low-key, chastened even, when we ran into her at Glamour's "Fashion Gives Back" party, and now we are beginning to understand why.
