Good Kitty
Six weeks shy of giving birth to her second baby, Kit Willow is sitting this New York fashion week out. Instead, she’s showcasing her collection first on Style.com with Lady Into Cat, a Sharif Hamza-directed video starring two fellow Aussies, the beautiful Emma Balfour and a wild cat to which they fed multiple chickens to [...]

Exclusive: YSL Launches Its Latest Manifesto
Every season, Stefano Pilati extends the YSL vision by sending it out farther than the end of the runway. With his Manifesto, the Saint Laurent look gets all the way to the street. Starting this Tuesday, September 14, the Manifesto—an extended lookbook starring Daria Werbowy packaged in a Pilati-designed bag (below)—hits the streets of New [...]

After September: Cats, Docs, And Frapps
Having struck gold with The September Issue, R.J. Cutler now has a couple similar irons in the fire. For starters, there’s a very mysterious documentary: “It is fashion-related,” the director assured us last night. “I wish I could talk more about it. We will announce it soon. It’s going to be high-stakes and exciting, and [...]

Catwalk Watch: Daniel Peddle
Before a model hits the runway—and before she snags her first editorial, her first ad campaign, and her first billboard—she’s got to make it past the sharp eyes of fashion’s casting directors, who are tasked with finding the perfect girls for designers’ exacting visions. In our new fashion week series, the industry’s top casting gurus [...]

Nick Knight Gets All Dolled Up
“Dolls are everywhere in fashion. Even Galliano closed one of his shows with a three-foot doll of himself taking a bow in his place. How cool is that?” So says Nick Knight at last night’s private view of In Wolves’ Clothing: Re-Imagining the Doll at SHOWstudio’s Mayfair gallery and shop. “There is something fascinating, even [...]

All-American, Par Avion
It arrives smack-dab in the middle of New York fashion week, but the latest project from Kitsuné is tout Français. The line is debuting Kitsuné Parisien, a collection that channels collegiate prepster staples, but reflects the City of Light’s unfussy chic—and is made, by the way, using only French manufacturers. That makes for pieces with [...]

Meet The Gant Girl
When menswear designer Michael Bastian began designing a collection for Gant last season, the rationale behind the merger seemed clear: A designer with a love of classic American sportswear and its idioms taking the reins at a classic American sportswear brand. (Gant is currently Swedish-owned, but never mind that.) And classic American sportswear, emphasis on [...]

Naomi Speaks!
No doubt by now you’ve already read plenty about Fashion’s Night Out and have your itinerary firmly in place, but this little bit of news might persuade you to update your plans: Naomi Campbell will be in residence at Dolce & Gabbana’s Madison Avenue store on Friday night, signing limited-edition 25th anniversary T-shirts designed by [...]

J Brand, The Erdem (And Kane, Pilotto, Nicoll, And Meadham Kirchhoff) Way
What works in New York won’t always work in London, but fair to say that collaborating with some of the city’s hottest young designers on limited-edition denim is good business here and across the pond. So following J Brand’s Proenza Schouler jean collab, CEO Jeff Rudes decided to extend the work-together spirit in England, too. [...]

A Magical Start To New York Fashion Week
To make your party stand out from the rest during fashion week, it helps to have a few tricks up your sleeve—and A Small World chairman and man-about-town Patrick Liotard-Vogt certainly had one last night, in the form of magician David Blaine. All eyes (most of them very, very wide) were on the prestidigitator’s lightning-quick [...]
