Had a great time with one of my fave designers, Walter Baker, last night.
I cover his collection every season during fashion week – and everyone knows his show is always a party – but the clothes are also lovely.

Anyway, I’m obsessed with the yellow bowler bag in his new handbag line.
How cute is that?
Fashion week and fashion reports are finally over so I have some time to breathe
One of the major highlights of the week was getting to reconnect with fashion friends who i only get to see twice a year.
I also spent my time not just covering the shows but working on a 2 year retrospective of Alexander McQueen’s death in time for the first ever runway show of McQ – his diffusion line.
Fashion community still really misses McQueen, but I agree with everyone: Sarah Burton is doing an amazing job.
Please watch my piece that aired on NY1 and around the US on our time warner affiliate channels 🙂

With my boys, designer Marc Bouwer and In Touch Weekly big man Noah Levy
I am having quite a ball, despite the fact that there is just so much to do.
Mixed prints are everywhere, much like they were during the Sept fashion week. I appreciate all those fashionistas who can do it well, because I know its tough!
But I would like to implore some of the burgeoning fashionistas ive been seeing at Fash Wk: If you do NOT know how to do it, please dont. It takes a very specific aesthetic skill and if you dont have it you are hurting all our eyes!!!
Lace is so hot right now. I cant wait to get some lace leggings. I want them in electric blue. If you know of anyone who makes them, please let me know!
Other than that, the collections this season are fun.
Zang Toi’s show closed to a standing ovation. First one i saw of the season. Congrats Zang! Not only is he a great designer but just a wonderful and warm person. Cant wait to see some of the designs on the red carpet.
