In this process, sometimes bad decisions are made. Like Alessandra Falchinetti at Gucci or Marco Zanini at Halston, short lived, unprofitable directorships are plenty in the fashion industry. Not every decision puts a Giles at Ungaro, nor is every rumor about a Pugh at Mugler. To save everyone some trouble, we’ve compiled a go to guide, pairing designers with brands that may be in need of a new CD soon.

| Like.com Launches What To Wear, A Fashion Q&A Site, With the Help of Glamour Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:11 AM PDT
The San Francisco-based start-up’s latest venture, WhatToWear.com, is a Q&A forum where readers ask style questions and professional stylists–as well as other readers–answer them. Experts, including the fashion team from Glamour and celebrity stylists like Nicole Chavez and Susan Joy, offer solutions to problems, from what to wear to a summer festival to how to wear a body-con dress. Readers can also chime in with suggestions from Like, Couturious, and Weardrobe. In case you haven’t noticed, pretty much every major fashion site boats some sort of e-commerce element today, and Like is behind plenty of those applications. The company’s goal is to go one step beyond the traditional fashion search engine–to engage the user to the point that they actually buy something. And Glamour’s participation in What to Wear is a brilliant move. Online editorial is all about giving readers valuable information they can apply to real life. To be sure, if Alexa’s Chung’s stylist told me to buy something, I probably would. Click around What To Wear and let us know what you think.

Fave designers? What piece of clothing/accessory do you find yourself wearing the most? What’s one thing you would never wear? Who’s your fashion icon? What do you think are the the three biggest problems in Fashion? So I was wondering… where did you go to high school?? Are you currently attending the university? If not, where did you attend? What is something we would be surprised to learn about you? I’m freakishly good at boggle. Challengers welcome. Bring it. Are you Russian?? Did the man in the picture say anything to you?

| Welcome Back: Peter Lindbergh in Vogue After 18 Years Posted: 16 Jun 2010 02:25 PM PDT
The ’60s themed fake family is a fashion mag mainstay, and Natalia has been acting the love interest in Vogue for years, alongside everyone from Diddy to her own hubby, Justin Portman. But we think Lindbergh’s spread is decidedly different from the rest–click through to find out why.

On display throughout the store, which is filled to the brim with loud prints and bright colors, Pat’s black nylon cosmetics bags with yellow zippers stood out in their simplicity. In fact, they were probably the only pieces in the store we would have considered buying, for that reason. Waiting for Pat to arrive, we decided to examine them. Named “The Pat” and “The Page,” the two styles retail for $28 and $62, respectively, and come with a free tube of COVERGIRL LashBlast Length Mascara, as well as a little booklet with eye makeup tips by Pat. Swarmed by a mob of adoring friends and fans the moment she walked into the store, we were amazed that we even got a chance to talk to the guest of honor. We’re so glad we did. She is so sweet, charming and energetic, it makes perfect sense that she would have so many admirers. She told us the bags were inspired by the bright yellow casing she designed for the COVERGIRL mascara, as well as the colors used in the Steven Meisel-shot ad campaign she did with Drew Barrymore. We also suspect she has a thing for the color black, which she was wearing from head to toe. She talked about her love for fashion, which inspires a lot of what she does. ”I love your site!” she proclaimed as a friend pulled her away for more pictures. We love you, too, Pat!

| Don’t Worry, Ray-Ban: Trend or No Trend, Wayfarers Will Outlive Us All Posted: 16 Jun 2010 12:35 PM PDT
Now, as the scenester set moves on to cat eyes and Moscots, Ray-Ban seems determined to maintain what was an unexpected spike in sales. Last week, the company–a subsidiary of the Luxottica Group–dropped a major campaign for the sunnies style right into a few of New York's major subway stations. Four prominent print makers, including Matt Moore and Aesthetic Apparatus, designed posters inspired by new Wayfarer patterns for the initiative. They look good. But will they help to sell more sunglasses? Who knows. We get it: Ray-Bans' Wayfarers inhabit a perpetual cycle of feast-and-famine-type popularity. And unfortunately for the suits at Luxxotica, we’re at the tail-end of one of those feasts. But here’s the good news: Ray-Bans are eternal. The design of the Wayfarer is important in two ways: It's retro: It hasn't changed in about 60 years. However, the glasses are also somehow futuristic: Ray-Bans were the first plastic sunglasses, and they were introduced in a time when people were still having blocks of ice delivered for their iceboxes (an old-fashioned word for refrigerator). There's something intrinsically modern about them. The Wayfarer is stuck in a space-time continuum. It's old, but it's new. It's iconic, but not classic. It’s trendy, but it’s not a flash-in-the-pan. Which is why it's able to keep coming back, but never able to stay popular for a prolonged period of time. The Wayfarer is basically Marty McFly in Back To The Future: So oddly transcendent that it can't exist in any one time period for more than a few minutes. And so they must remain, flitting in and out of popularity, comfortable only in a DeLorean. Presumably. So ultimately it doesn't matter how often Ray-Bans launch an ad campaign, or how soon after the last resurgence we decide to dig them back out of our closets again, or what color or pattern is debuted next. Wayfarers will outlive us all, but in a sneaky, stop-start fashion. So, as they say, get your hair slicked back and your Wayfarers on, baby.

| Last Night’s Parties: Parsons Grads Debut at Début Posted: 16 Jun 2010 11:00 AM PDT
"We singled out 10 designers from the Parsons graduating class. We met with 40 seniors, saw their look sheets, and then chose 10," says Début owner Lisa Weiss, who opened her NoHo shop to display only the newest, most undiscovered talent. "That was the inspiration for the store. A lot of stores like to watch a designer for a while, and see how they sell through. We're not looking for a track record. We want to showcase new talent, help them get started and provide some help with the their overhead," she says. This year, Weiss noted that students were working with good quality fabrics, and were moving away from the lighter, spring materials. "Wool, cashmere, knitwear; those were some of the stronger collections we saw," she says. Some sartorial highlights from last night’s event:

Following Lauren’s lead, we thought it would be more fun to let all of you interview me. I’ll only tell you one thing: My name is pronounced like Princess Leia, not Leee-ah. (But lest you think my parents are crazy Star Wars fanatics, I was named after my great grandmother and I never do the cinnamon-bun-hair-thing, promise). So what do you want to know about me? Ask away in the comments section below and I’ll get back to you this afternoon. Really looking forward to it! Oh, and in this photo I’m testing out Ashish’s spike jacket for Top Shop on the subway for a story at my old gig. I think it was a good way to dissuade riders from falling asleep on my shoulders.

Finding a new creative director for a brand is a painstaking process. Not only do you want to find someone whose aesthetic lines up with the brand’s image, but there’s contracts, availability, and ton of paperwork before a collection sets foot on the runway. 
Happy birthday to fashion’s greatest photographer, 
So you wrote for the New York Daily News, but what do you know about fashion? 
July’s American Vogue features fashion great Peter Lindbergh’s first spread for the publication in 18 years. Lindbergh shot Natalia Vodianova and Ewan McGregor acting out family scenes in a setting that’s part Mad Men and part A Single Man. 
Pat McGrath is one of the most influential and skilled makeup artists in the industry. From the runways of Prada and Dior to legendary Vogue editorials, Pat has created (
Name: Rachel
Ray-Ban Wayfarers may be a hipster staple, but much like former subculture favorites Clarks and trucker hats, their popularity has little to do with advertising. 
Alber gets in on the fun during the Lanvin Resort 2011 photo shoot…from the nose up, at least. 
If fashion, like advertising, Hollywood, fast food, and athletics, is obsessed with youth, then Début on Mulberry Street in Manhattan was the place to be on Tuesday evening. While much of New York overran the seaport to try and get an earful of Drake (or was it Hanson?) at Paper's free (and then canceled) concert, some of us stayed above Houston St. to get a glimpse of selected up-and-comers from
