  • "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.

  • "They're the most exciting thing since Warhol," says Vogue's Andre Leon Talley of English rockers/designers Rodnik. So enamored is he that he was willing to give up his front-row seat at Proenza Schouler last week so that he could join the Rodnik designers in the standing room area. [Vogue UK]

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.) Photos of the event begin in the gallery after the jump.
