"If Obama is a president for the people, why the hell is White House social secretary Desiree Rogers at Fashion Week today, nestled between Vogue editor Anna Wintour and her fashion editor Virginia Smith?" (Gawker)
"Why it's hot: Carolina Herrera always does the most sophisticated collections and is one of our favorites during fashion week! ... Celeb Spotting: We spotted Desiree Rogers (Chicago's own and newly appointed social secretary for the Obama administration) front row next to Anna Wintour!" (Factiofashioncoverage)

"MARC Jacobs punk'd his audience last night in more ways than one. First, he started his 8 pm show at 7:58 pm, so you were punk'd if you weren't early." (NYPost)
"The Hiltons are causing chaos at Jill Stuart, where one tiny PR girl is trying to hold off a tidal wave of photographers. Almost got crushed in the Hilton-inflamed paparazzi scrum at Jill Stuart." (Racked)

"One thing you can always be confident about with Timberlake behind the label is that star power in the front row is pretty much a given. There were actors: Emile Hirsch, Aisha Tyler and Gerard Butler. Ugly Betty's Becki Newton and Eric Mabius sat with Elle editors. There were singers: fellow N'Sync-er JC Chasez, Mario and Aubrey O'Day. There were reality stars: Erin Lucas and Samantha Swetra from The City. Even professional football players checked out the styles: Ovie Mughelli from the Atlanta Falcons and Darrelle Revis and Calvin Pace from the NY Jets. But it was Timberlake's girlfriend, Jessica Biel, and Paris Hilton who sent the photographers into a flashbulb frenzy." (USAToday)

"Many have claimed that Soho House has lost some of its panache. (We've heard more than one chicster refer to it as So-so House.) Well, here's an update. On Sunday night, the private club played host to not one, but two fashion week soirées: Purple magazine's bash (in the sixth-floor dining room) and a Mulberry dinner (in the fifth-floor library). 'I was in the elevator with a bunch of people and they were telling a fabulous story,' sighed Hilary Alexander. 'And so I followed them into the wrong party." Mistake corrected, Alexander found herself face-to-face with a motley crew of Purple fans that included Milla Jovovich, Rosetta Getty, and Patricia Arquette in one corner; Leelee Sobieski, Arden Wohl, and Adam Kimmel in another .."

"Diane von Furstenberg's post-show dinner was an intimate affair for her true intimates--and the viewers of MTV. Olivia Palermo working hard for The City, but Whitney Port had not arrived by the time The Daily left the soirée. Joe Zee was miked for the show and brought his hunky intern Stewart Bradley as well as colleague Joann Pailey. A projection screen played von Furstenberg's latest runway show while guests nibbled on tofu spring rolls and chicken skewers, washed down with Domaine Chandon champagne. A chic slew of Italians including Renzo Rosso, Franca Sozzani, and Lapo Elkann showed up to fête the American fashion icon in her Meatpacking district flagship. It was a family affair for Natalia Vodianova, who brought her son Lucas. 'I can't believe three babies came out of you,' said actress Zoe Saldana to the model mother." (Fashionweekdaily)
"What was undoubtedly one of the top shows thus far (and yet only a presentation), Band of Outsiders' Chinatown showing brought out the best even before brunch. Entering a second-floor rough space, with windows blocked out by rickety shutters, attendees found models posed in various tableaux vivants, all channeling naughty prep schoolboy/girl. In fact, we heard some of the models chatting crudely with each other as if they were indeed wayward teens. Lucky for us, Kanye West made his first Fashion Week appearance at the show, fully supported by his colorful entourage and surprisingly un-mobbed by fans. " (Racked)
"'Excuse me! Excuse me!' Shove! Shove! The tall PR chick with the headset and the plangent voice was clearly intent on publicly buggering me with her clipboard if I did not get the hell out of her way and allow her to escort some celeb or other to its front-row seat .. Being the team player that I am, I capitulated and stepped aside to allow the flack to do her 'job.' Imagine my surprise when I saw, not Madonna and Jesus (the new Brazilian boy toy as opposed to the beloved Nazarene) being whisked past me, but golden-tressed stylist Rachel Zoe and her husband. As I took my seat, I began to ask myself deep, existential questions: Does Rachel Zoe have THAT much more wattage than me?" (Simon Doonan/Observer)
"'Betsey Crocker’s Recipes for Dressing' held at her midtown showroom, was the most fun fashion show of the week. Think Rachael Ray — on acid. A DJ spun tunes, waiters passed out sliders, champagne, and models hung out round the room. A silent film starring Betsey showed her wackily dressing models — and actually revealed the intricate layering that goes into each piece. Ingredients for the 'Ice Princess Pie' dress included pink and white petticoats, corset, crop sweater .. When Paris Hilton beckons a man, he responds. At least that was the case at Justin Timberlake's William Rast show on Monday night. Paris winked and smiled at a very stern male model at the end of the show — and he actually cracked a huge smile and laughed back at her. We applaud you, Paris, for breaking the model code of extreme seriousness.

"It was as though an entire armada from the Ford Modeling Agency had donned their leather jackets and lumberjack plaid to descend en masse upon Arlene's Grocery; for at precisely 10 p.m. the all but empty Stanton Street club flooded. And for what? Why, to witness the New York City debut of current CK One model (and one time lover of Sienna Miller and Lindsay Lohan) Jamie Burke's band Burke!" (Papermag)
