By Brian Moylan Project Runway is all about vision and delusion. The vision to ask three designers to compete for a prize. The delusion their entries will look different.

And not something fierce like Christian Siriano would have cra...

By Chris Wilson This was my first show since I sat front row at Heatherette in 2006 with a stripper I met while doing a story about Scores for GQ. (Perhaps my proudest Fashion Week memory). I had forgotten about all the bright and shiny spectacles you see while walking around a rag trade beehive like Milk Studi...

By Chris Wilson She invited me to come to Rose Bar for a drink with Perry's assorted hangers-on, but I felt like I had already worn out my welcome. Besides, I was as bored of this scene as I was of Fashion Week itself. Before I went across the street for a nightcap at the Bowery Hotel, I asked Perry if he had any part...

By Chris Wilson I'm feeling much better today and will be out again tonight, most likely wearing a crotchless gold lame' jumpsuit. For those of you who care, this evening's festivities include supermodel-saurus Linda Evangelista's party at MoMa for avant-garde artist Ron Arad's latest exhibit, a scr...

But the truth is, I don't go out during Fashion Week. That's the secret: Don't go out during Fashion Week! It's like amateur night. It's li...

By Foster Kamer The New York Times Styles section rightly takes the school to task for the utter ridiculousness perpetrated by a school in financial trouble, one that's only extending its own unique brand of elitism—true, or not, but come on: true—one step further by manifesting it in physical wares. No...

By Foster Kamer The Sunday Styles finally went to Fashion Meets Finance, an event where Manhattan banker-types and fashion slaves meet, consummate, and procreate certain genetics to create lineages of people you'd rather not know. Their findings are, while nothing new, nonetheless awesome.

By Pareene But still: shake-up! The real news here, actually, is that newish Post publisher Katharine Weymouth forcing Givhan to actually move to DC after years of writing about fashion from here in New York, where it actually exists, has paid off!

By Richard This week's episode of our Bravo Parade of Miseries was all about Fashion. Who's in, who's out? Who's crinkling in a corner like a dark brown paper bag, the quick, raspy hiss of her breathing awaking dogs and small rodents, who scurry away from her, like a Pied Piper in reverse?

By Richard Fashion Week isn't just low-tier celebrities and odd-ball fashion designers. It's also backstage people and ugly old people and stuff. Let's take a moment to honor them, in a photo gallery after the jump. All photos from Getty, except last two, from AP.

By Gabriel Snyder First the Vogue documentary, The September Issue, had its Sundance premiere in Salt Lake City. Now we learn that Anna Wintour had to fly coach to get there. When will the insults stop? Which brings us to our tipster who says they were on the same flight back to New York as Wintour:

By Richard The basic premise: Whitney Port from The Hills moves to New York City, NY to become the Head of Fashion for the United States. Her duties include looking like Baby Huey (sans bonnet) and continually trying not to fall down. So far so good on both counts. I guess the thinking in spinning off from L...

By Alex Carnevale On the show and in his reallife, Jerry made a variety of style statements that now are preferably confined to the Jews of the New York City. Onstage, the actor and the comedian character usually found himself in a suit — in this way, he does resemble Obama, who is either in athletic clothes or d...

The fashion blog looks like something else that didn't turn out exactly as planned, if originally the blog was going to be done by both Cathy Horyn and Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune. The IHT is, of course, owned by the Times, but Menkes clearly gave the idea of blogging the c...

I had heard about Bryce's appointment through the grapevine. But the rest of the world found out through a series of the lamest ads this side of Peoria.
