Remember Eyjafjallajökull? Olympia Le-Tan sure does. The Icelandic volcano—and its lingering clouds of ash, which wrecked havoc on European aviation for a good while—forced the accessory designer to cancel a much anticipated trip to Thailand. “I was so angry, and I began to imagine that this might be the end,” Le-Tan said at a cocktail [...]

If Marc builds it, they will come. The contemporary artist/fashion label complex, that is, which Jacobs sent to new heights with his accessory collaborations with Louis Vuitton. Yes, artists and designers had collaborated before—including Dalí and Schiaparelli way back when—but the runaway success of Louis Vuitton’s Murakami bags (and the follow-up Richard Prince “joke” bags) [...]

Don’t take it personally, Tracey Ullman (or fellow past hosts Fran Lebowitz and Jeremy Piven), but this year’s CFDA Awards will be host-less. (OK, maybe take it a little personally.) [WWD]Fashion’s most mysterious Tweeter, @dkny, gives a lengthy interview to discuss her life in cyberspace. Sadly not included: her actual identity. Foiled again! [Stylecaster]The Journal [...]

Next season, Zac Posen is showing in Paris, where “they understand” his clothes. Or, well, he may be showing in Paris, since showing in New York in “today’s climate” is “difficult.” Confused?

“It’s for the Sex and the City girl,” said a mesh cardigan-clad Zac Posen. “Or a Renaissance man.” The overlapping spot on the Venn diagram he was proposing—maybe the only one—was an 11th floor duplex at 16W21, a new condominium building in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, and the first to boast Posen-designed interiors. (Appropriately [...]

Yaz Bukey and her sister Emel are Paris party girls extraordinaires, so their accessories line Yazbukey’s tenth anniversary requires nothing less than ten parties to celebrate. Yaz has a gift for revamping the classics—she designed a gift box for Paris’ primo macaron purveyor Ladurée earlier this year, and created a mini collection of Barbie-inspired Plexiglas [...]

Zac Posen’s new collection with Target is aimed at a younger girl—the designer describes it as “the best summer of a girl’s life”—so when the time came to make a little video teasing the range, he called one up. Posen and Gia Coppola—who also lensed the recent Opening Ceremony teaser video—first met when Posen traveled [...]

He may be known for cocktail frocks, but Zac Posen’s new secondary line, Z Spoke, is made for more than swanning around and sipping cocktails—they’re for a girl (or a mom, Posen emphasized) who “can do whatever she wants at any moment—get on a plane, play sports.” The knits, blazers, and shirting, accordingly, are sportier [...]

Following on the success of the inaugural Fashion’s Night Out in 2009, Vogue, the CFDA, and NYC & Company are banding together to do it again in 2010. (Mark your calendars: 9/10/10.)
