- Hedi Slimane of Saint Laurent, pushed ahead of the game and showed Part 1 of his womenswear collection last night in Los Angeles, which featured golden boots, velvet capes and printed dresses. Every celebrity present (which was almost all of them) were wooed with high voltage glamour.
- Twenty thousand New Yorkers rushed into Madison Square Garden on an icy afternoon to see the premiere of Yeezy Season 3 AND a stream of his new album, The Life of Pablo. (Who is Pablo? Do you know Pablo?) It was definitely the event of the day if not the entire week. Also, Naomi Campbell.
- There are a few new designers you need to know about: Claudia Li, Gogo Graham, and Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient of Ottolinger.
- Winter and Spring met at the epicenter of layering when Marissa Webb put faux fur coats over fluttery floral dresses.
- Long Island native Mathieu Mirano was inspired by his multiple trips to Egypt and the sandstorms that occurred there. Hence, the models that were Louboutin-clad in a massive sandbox. Pieces were produced in the lightest fabrics -- liquid silk, metallics, and fringe all in rainbow hues.
- R13 made everyone just a bit more denim crazy.
- While Nicholas Kirkwood's velvet ensembles were a hit, the hair wrapped under the models chins in a beard-like fashion, were not.
- Last but definitely not least (actually this is the most important) The entire concept may be changing. Where it is held, the timing, the business cycle and the growing movement to give consumers what they want, when they want. Designer and chairwoman of the CFDA, Diane von Furstenberg, said in response, "Fashion shows were originally created for trade, long lead press, newspapers and buyers. With technology’s ever-pervasive role and the huge power of social media, the contents of these shows now goes directly to consumers, frustrating them as they cannot immediately shop what they see on the runway.”
