Wang’s Win, Daphne’s Shoes, and More…
Alexander Wang can’t stop winning. The 2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner

Gwyneth Paltrow: The Next Celebrity Designer?
Valentino Garavani’s “farewell tour” has been as epic as anything Barbra Streisand could dream up, and judging by last night’s DVD signing of Valentino: The Last Emperor, the retired designer is still pulling in the crowds.

The History Channel
Too early for fashion month nostalgia? Not when New York’s kickoff extravaganza, Fashion’s Night Out, seems like a long-ago night of faded, distant fun, and even a recent event like Daphne Guinness’ turn on Giles Deacon’s runway is surrounded in a somewhat hazy light.

Blasblog: Guinness and Klein for Vogue Italia, Part Due!
When Daphne Guinness told me she was a frequent house guest at Steven Klein’s Bridgehampton farm this summer, and when she showed up on his arm at the ACRIA event last month, I figured she might have a few tricks up her handsewn sleeve.

Blasblog: Post-Met Delirium At Bungalow 8
With Harvey Weinstein’s help, Amy Sacco made the Bung the official post-Met late-night hot spot. Josh Hartnett boogied with Lily Donaldson, Kerry Washington swung on palm trees with Rachel Zoe, Agyness Deyn holed herself up in conversation with Giambattista Valli, and Kate Hudson petted the feathers that Daphne Guinness left in her wake.
