If you work in this industry long enough, you start to notice things. Strange things that otherwise might never occur to you. These last couple weeks have given us lots to ponder about ourselves and our colleagues. The amount of time Leah and I have spent discussing this stuff almost supersedes the amount of time we’ve spent chatting about runway trends. (Yeah, we’re voyeurs.) Have you noticed any of this? And is it all happening outside of the fashion walls? Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| What Bird’s Jen Mankins Will Be Buying For Fall From New York Fashion Week Posted: 23 Feb 2011 03:34 PM PST
Jen Mankins‘ chainlet Bird (there are outposts in Cobble Hill, Williamsburg and Park Slope) pretty much dictates what a certain set of Brooklyn girls wear (read: editors, stylists and other assorted influential ladies). One of our “Fashionista 50 Most Influential People in New York Fashion,” Mankins made the cut because, as Lauren puts it, she [...] Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Gucci Fall 2011: Forties Cartoon Via 1976 Posted: 23 Feb 2011 03:15 PM PST
MILAN–We were in transit during the Gucci show, so unfortunately we weren’t there to experience it in real life. But there’s good news: We have access to pretty images! Click through to get the gist of Frida Giannini‘s latest collection. Here’s my cheat sheet: Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| J.W. Anderson Men’s Fall 2011: Biker Prep Posted: 23 Feb 2011 03:01 PM PST
LONDON–Jonathan Anderson‘s men’s collection left off where his women’s ended on Saturday. Several of the looks were mirrors of each other, several obviously were not. (Even if Anderson is happy to put a guy in a kilt, a fitted mohair dress might be a little extreme.) What’s interesting about Anderson’s menswear is that it is feminine, yet I can see more than just dandies wearing it. Maybe it has to do with his square silhouettes. Even a liberty print can work on a “dude” if its worn under a biker jacket. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Pringle and Paul Smith Fall 2011: Doing What They Do Best Posted: 23 Feb 2011 02:46 PM PST
LONDON–Knitwear is a natural fit for fall collections, and Pringle parlayed its heritage into a show full of pieces you’ll yearn to cuddle up in come the cold snaps of ’11-12. Skirts resembling blankets draped around the hips, and a leather dress laser-cut with a fine Fair Isle pattern, stayed with us through the day. Also smart was a petrol blue silk blouse with cape-like panelling that fluttered around the arms. Later, at the Savoy ballroom for Paul Smith‘s show, it was all about menswear for the girls. Cropped suit trousers, laceless brogues, prefect ties, fashion glasses and mannish blazers were sensual with sheer silk blouses. Wearers will cherish the quiet, special detailing, like the contrasting felt-backed collars and purple satin piping on a pair of gray trouser’s pockets.

| Michael van der Ham Fall 2011: Velvet Alert! Posted: 23 Feb 2011 02:28 PM PST
LONDON–Michael van der Ham started his show by spilling a Skittles bag of candy-colored crushed velvet dresses onto his A/W ’11 catwalk. All were asymmetric, with one dolman or bell-shaped arm and the other sleeveless or short. Flirty with opaque black tights and heels, they easily could have gone home on the backs of any number of editors in the front rows. From these confections, Van Der Ham transitioned to velvet tops and wide silk trousers in the same hue. All featured velvet panels or baby frills on the waistbands (texture blocking alert!).

| Mark Fast Fall 2011: Vixens in Sheep’s Clothing Posted: 23 Feb 2011 02:19 PM PST
LONDON–How would Mark Fast follow up his fringe spectacular from last season? With the introduction of new materials and volume, it seems. The young Canadian designer kicked things off with a cloudy-day-gray coat with massive, football pad-like shoulders, showcasing his new use of Merino wool alongside all the elastane. He tried leather for the first time too, in mac-style dresses with hoods, drawstring waists, back-cutouts and extra-long straitjacket sleeves. More S&M than sensual, they did little to accentuate his models’ curves in the mode of his signature spiderweb knit dresses. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| How Jennifer Aniston Stole Bieber’s Hair Thunder Posted: 23 Feb 2011 02:15 PM PST
I wish I could say that I take the high road and could care less about such frivolities as what celebrities are doing with their hair, but honestly—this week is going to go down in celeb hair history as the most mind-blowing ever. First, of course, the Biebs chopped about two inches off his locks, much to the dismay of prepubescents everywhere who dreamed of running their hands through it. He actually looks a little more badass now, although the double-breasted jacket he's wearing in this picture makes it look like he's trying on his dad's clothes. But only one person could upstage Justin Bieber in the hair department, and that's Jennifer Aniston. Having been the proud owner of the most popular ‘do in history, she has had to deal with the aftermath of "The Rachel" for the past 15 years.

| Meadham Kirchhoff: What Just Happened? Posted: 23 Feb 2011 02:11 PM PST
LONDON–In a fury of skirts and schoolyard angst, the show was over. Meadham Kirchhoff sent 24 looks flying down the catwalk en masse in a sharply choreographed show with real intensity. The corps of models amassed in the venue’s backlit arches before powering down the runway. On reaching the end, individuals peeled off and stepped in a crisp-cornered formation around the sets. The result was a visual feast that felt more akin to performance art or a major Broadway production than a typical fashion show. But the convention-breaking format did make it difficult to really take anything in. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

LONDON–Ashish Gupta's dripping-in-sequins show always serves up a rollicking close to London Fashion Week. With MIA on the front row and blasting through the speakers, this season more than lived up to the last. Instead of Americana, though, for A/W the Indian designer took a budget cuts-era look at Camden punk. Spiderwebs on kneecaps were the first things we noticed, followed by holey knitwear, sequined tartan basketball shorts and a union jack vest. The clash of the tartans carried on across cocktail dresses, sweatpants, skirts, etc., all made for the cover of Nylon. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Is It Just Me Or Is This Cartoon Lady in the Airfrance Ad Wearing Spring 2011 Prada? Posted: 23 Feb 2011 01:40 PM PST
Saw this while skimming through this week’s New Yorker on the subway this morning and thought, “Hmm…has fashion seeped into my brain so bad that I just think that this cartoon lady in this Airfrance ad is wearing Spring 2011 Prada? Or is she actually wearing it?” I think she actually is. Right down to the Minimal-Baroque sunnies. What do you think? Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
