When I think of Fashion Week whether it's in Paris, New York or Los Angeles the image that immediately comes to mind is of strikingly beautiful men and women strutting their stuff down a runway. So, you can understand why when I heard that Dirtee Hollywood's debut of the Molly Crabapple Collection would involve sketching, I was more than a little skeptical. Not only would Molly Crabapple (the artist responsible for Dirtee Hollywood's latest line) be tucked away in a corner sketching, but the guests would be given mini sketch pads and encouraged to sketch as well. Sketch what you ask? Why the burlesque models posed throughout the store wearing the collection, of course.

I'm not alone. This is weird right? Actually, it wasn't. It was exactly what fashion is: art. Molly Crabapple, once a burlesque dancer herself, draws from two time periods, Victorian England and Rococo France.  She's drawn for everyone from the New York Times to Marvel Comics.  She's also illustrated eight children's books and is the founder of the Dr. Sketchy Anti-Art School.

To watch her sketch an original design as waitresses carrying cocktails and socialites mingling made their way throughout the store was kind of inspiring. Much like the models standing statuesque, Molly never broke a sweat.

If you are unfamiliar with Dirtee Hollywood Tees, they are fun, flirty and fashion forward. Attention grabbing lines like, "I'd Do Me" splashed across the front of their shirts, scream LA trendsetter.

Though, the Molly Crabapple line is something different. I venture to say it's more mature. Her sketches look like really elaborate tattoos. A piece of art you want to hang on your wall and stare at for hours. You can tell she pays close attention to detail in every woman that she draws. From the slight smirk on some of the women's faces you get the feeling there's another story here.

Molly's tees, like a really great tattoo, will have people stopping on the street to ask, "Where can I get myself one of those?"

The Roosevelt Hotel holds iconic status in Hollywood. So, it was fitting that Gen Art kicked off LA Fashion Week at the Roosevelt's ‘Tropicana' Bar with their Los Angeles Fashion Alumni Celebration on Tuesday, March 16th.

Upon entering the palm tree strewn pool bar, we at ‘Glam Damn It' could hear the audible buzz of excitement in the air, as a combination of LA's fashion elite and Hollywood girls, looked forward to Gen Art's alumni's, sneak preview of their up and coming collections. Amber Rose - Kayne West's bleached and newly crew cut ex -the host for the evening, immediately caught our attention, looking resplendent in a short ruffled mini skirt, contrasted with heavy duty accessories and fierce heels.

Later, as the looks were presented -each designer with an adorned model- our eyes were drawn to Society For Rational Dress's exquisite Grecian style dress, which complete with a heavy duty leather belt, gave the fluid look, a harder, more industrial -hence fashion- forward edge. Rami Kashou's black Floor length dress, also caught eyes, it's front a cascade of heavy satin ruffles, paying homage to Valentino's current, cascading collection as did Kit Scarbo's charcoal and black dress, the combination of contrasting materials, draping and ruching, creating a futuristic, yet, wearable style. Endovanera - presented by David Hershberger, was arguably the hit of the night. An androgynous, ‘urchin like' slouchy pant ensemble, the low key look, begged us to ask ‘Please sir can I have some more?' a la Oliver Twist.

In all, apart from Jared Gold's decision to sport what appeared to be Lederhosen, combined with his model channeling Princess Lea and Jeffrey Sebelia for Fluxus, presenting a model in what looked like a ‘snood' with 80's style Grace Jones shades, the night was one of mainly style hits.

LA, you may at last be putting yourself on the style map. Maybe, just maybe....

Last night was amazing night in NYC as I marched uptown to Bergdorf Goodman to socialize with Linda Fargo, Leigh Lezark, Daphne Guinness and more.

The event was to celebrate Steven Klein: 30 Seasons With Akris. The label's designer, Albert Kriemler, was also in attendance. Besides the amazing and devastatingly handsome catering and bar staff, the fourth floor was filled with delightful Akris-clad mannequins and images of Akris clothing throughout the years.

T Magazine's Stefano Tonchi, who is in the running for the position of editor-and-chief of W Magazine, was also in attendance, and  though I didn't get a chance to speak with him about the issue, his gleaming smile said so much more.

Linda Fargo, dressed in a magnificent Akris dress with a fur collar stole to complement, was quite welcoming. Her graceful presence helped make the event a memorable and intimate occasion for guests to get acquainted with the collection. 

In tow of Dapne Guinness came a large display of the  campaign ad she completed with the label (recall when she went jet black). In addition, pieces from the Spring 2010 bevy were merchandised to interwine with the guests on their way to snag some hors d'oeuvres.

We recently spoke about Henry Holland's Levi's collection and its guest appearance from Chanel ambassador Leigh Lezark. Despite our envy of her relationship with Chanel, we enjoyed watching her at the deejay stand with The Misshapes.

In all, the event was a special one - as floods of memories came rushing back from our favorite Akris moments.

After the event, I jetted down to catch the ending of a Vainstyle Magazine launch at the Earnest Sewn boutique in the Meatpacking District. Though I didn't catch much due to my late arrival, I did snag a slice of the phenomenal cake and one of the gift bags they were handing out to guests. I quickly chatted with a magazine staff member who promised that the magazine would put a new spin on fashion and music. Sadly, I can't give too much away - the magazines were very scarce in quantity. I will say, however, that the upcoming issue promises an exciting review on music god David Guetta. Look out for more updates, regarding Vainstyle on their website.

Karl Lagerfeld has been quite a buzzing topic this week - and for what? Rumors and being a narcissist.

But, we're certain he loves the attention.

Whether you're a fan of who people have deemed themselves a creative genius or not, Lagerfeld will be expanding his image by way of collaborating with Tod's to design the label's Hogan bevy next spring.

In related news, the future of Lagerfeld's namesake label may be at risk. The label, which has been supported by Tommy Hilfiger since 2005, was not a part of the PVH/Hilfiger changes we posted earlier this week. The Lagerfeld label stayed with Hilfiger's former owner, Apax Partners. When the buzz of selling the Lagerfeld business began, an Apax insider said that the company will work to improve the label commercially, but also noted that every company they deal with is up for sale.

After industry insiders came forth with a what's-the-big-deal? stance towards the predatory allegations towards Terry Richardson from some of his subjects, Jezebel invited more alleged victims to write in anonymously of their encounters with Richardson.

It's said that they received a ton of emails, which made us a bit skeptical at first - until we searched and found a picture of Richardson receiving oral sex from an unidentified subject. Plenty of insiders wrote in anonymously in fear of losing their jobs. Though many of the stories are too graphic to post, we think outlining the problem is sufficient.

One insider noted that it's a difficult situation to disentangle, considering Richardson's approval from some of the industry's foremost leaders (think Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld, etc.). The insider continues, saying:

"Those people in power, the women, need to take their responsibility for what happens to the girls because by booking him, they are tacitly giving their approval that whatever he does is OK."

Another insider noted that she quit her job as a stylist after she witnessed Richardson sexually harrass foreign nude girls who didn't speak English.

What makes the situation more disturbing is the approach Richardson takes once girls begin to question his behavior on set; he insists on being called "Uncle Terry" and assures them that in no way is he shooting for porn - for he's shooting stills - then asks the girls to shoot him nude playing with himself. Strangely, Richardson continues to have a support team on set in the form of dedicated assistants, who incessantly advise girls that what he is doing is tasteful and frankly normal, because he works with celebrities all the time.

A credible source noted the break in the relationship between Richardson and W Magazine (although with the publication in such a frenzy, we doubt commenting on Richardson is at the top of their list), observing that Richardson has not shot for the magazine for quite some time. Whether it has to do with his behavior toward subhects or a highly disliked spread he shot for the magazine (a model's head in the oven), no one knows.

Do you think allegations will hinder or advance Richardson's career?

London's hottest (and we do mean hottest) designer, Henry Holland, launched his H! by Henry Holland collection yesterday at Debenhams - where he also signed "Bagazine" clutches for those who came to the 7:30am call time.

But more importantly, how many would agree that Chanel ambassador, Leigh Lezark, alongside model Jacob Coupe, looks completely fabulous in the lookbook for Holland's Spring 2010 Levi's bevy?

The photographs, shot by Mark Irwin, phenomenally capture Lezark in denim and corduroy - though we don't know if it's the clothing itself or envy of Lezark's Chanel ambassador title that we love more.

We stumbled over to no man's land of fabulosity yesterday when Kiki de Montparnasse announced they would be hosting a DecadesTwo pop-up shop through Sunday March 21st.

We were totally unprepared for what we saw - Chanel tweed jackets, purses and shoes, Christian Louboutin, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs and Goyard bags, fur, fur and more fur, and plenty more (dresses, coats, skirts, etc.) all at discounted prices.

DecadesTwo, co-founded by fashion insiders, Christos Garkinos and Cameron Silver, was founded in 1999 as a Los Angeles boutique of precise editing of consignment items available for savvy fashionistas everywhere. DecadesTwo was produced from Decades - a vintage couture store - by the founders, who traveled worldwide to capture the best garments from stylists and celebrities - marking them at astonishingly low prices of 80% off. When the store isn't a traveling pop-up shop, and consumers are based out of LA, DecadesTwo offers bi-weekly HauteLook sales on the company's website.

Kiki de Montparnasse, who hosted the event, wasn't too shabby, either. Before we were directed upstairs to the event, we noticed the intimate setting, attracting consumers to the high-quality items. The store is known for its memorable methods of packaging, by way of intimacy and beauty.

Be sure to stop by the pop-up shop before March 21st - as the stock is refilled throughout the day. There's enough for everyone. Kiki de Montparnasse, 79 Greene Street ; (Th-Sa, 11-7) (Su 12-5).

Coco Rocha is wasting no time in beating Lara Stone (who wil have Ricardo Tisci of Givenchy design her gown) to the altar. Rocha recently tweeted her engagement to her interior designer, James Conran - and now she's tweeting about how she convinced designer, Zac Posen to create her wedding dress for her June 9th wedding. Her tweet reads:

"Mr. Zac Posen is the best! I met with him to discuss wedding dress designs and immediately sketches were flying... So exciting!!"

As generous as Rocha has been on her Twitter account, let's hope she tweets sneak peeks of what she will walk down the aisle wearing.

Any guesses on who will design James's tux?

CFDA BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S SPECIAL TRIBUTE AWARD

Alexander McQueen

FASHION ICON AWARD

Iman

Voting for the June 7 awards ceremony begins April 1st - as the ceremony at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall will host a very special tribute to the late designer, Alexander McQueen. In related news, famed bloggers, Tavi and Bryanboy, were asked to submit ballots of who they felt should be nominated - proving the notion that bloggers have come so far. Although, the change in fashion and technology is driving towards its peak, not everyone enjoyed the bloggers' opinions. Colin McDowell turned to his blog to discuss his frustrations of bloggers being respected alongside the 'cream of the industry.' He writes:

"Of course nobody at the CFDA respects or cares about the opinions of the likes of Tavi and Bryanboy. The designers who have crammed their front rows with footballers, movie stars and TV stars don't care either. All that fashion cares about now is enthusiasm and that can be as uninformed as you like.

Last night when I saw T editor, Stefano Tonchi, at the Steven Klein 30 Seasons of Akris/Bergdorf Goodman event, the last thought in my mind was waking up to hear rumors of him possibly becoming the editor-in-chief of W Magazine.

That explains his grin.

As we previously posted, W Magazine is in a bit of a crunch, parting ways with WWD, and taking some of its senior staff from the magazine with it.

Tonchi, a former Esquire creative director, quickly turned T magazine into what WWD calls "the ad-rev stratosphere."

W Magazine is scrambling to quickly replace the EIC position, possibly giving Tonchi a run for his money. Some of the frontrunners for the position include: Carine Roitfeld, Katie Grand, Adam Moss (of New York Magazine), Jay Fielden (former Men's Vogue editor).

As much as I'd love to see someone new take the famed spotlight, the thought of Carine Roitfeld, of Vogue Paris, running an American publication gives me the chills.

Diane Merrick is considered the "godmother" of boutique owners, and rightfully so after spending close to 40 years selling clothes to fashion conscious Los Angeles. With a new season upon us, I thought who better to ask what we should have in our closets this Spring and Summer. What I got is a list that has some seasonal trends, but a lot of classic items that are staples in every woman's wardrobe. Perhaps this is why the Diane Merrick store and clothing line continue to be in demand decade after decade. 

1) Ultra soft tees: No matter what the season, every woman should have soft flattering t-shirts in many shapes and sizes as long as they are flattering and comfortable. For spring and summer, try finding them in fluorescent colors such as hot pink or neon yellow and pairing them with a cute pair of denim or white shorts.  

2) Bubble Skirts: Flirty, cutesy and just plain fun. Everyone should have at least one to wear this season. Pair it with a loose, draping tank top, a few long necklaces and platform pumps or ballet flats to complete the look.  

3) Blazer: Long or short a blazer adds a polished and sophisticated look to any ensemble. Pair with jeans, a cute tee and some gorgeous shoes and you have a look that is chic day or night. 

4) Lightweight Trousers: Expect to see them in various forms all over the place this season. Not only are they comfy, but now there are many with style.  In every material from satin to lightweight polyester to pocket-less with zippers down the back, this will be the pant to have this season.  

5) Patterned Scarves:  Every girl should have at least one. Always in season, but for summer it is best to have one that is lightweight and can be worn day or night. Buy one or many, and pair them with everything from jean shorts and a tank to an evening dress. Just make sure the pattern doesn't clash.  

6) Skinny Jeans: Still in fashion, try finding a great pair in white or light denim to wear with gladiator sandals or sky-high heels and a flowy floral print top.  

7) Sequins: Expect to see the sequin trend continue. It may be a small smattering of bling on a tank or a "look at me" sequin blazer. Either way, make sure to add a little sparkle to your wardrobe this season.  

8) Leggings: They continue to be hot, and many of us are happy to hear it. Nothing is more comfortable than a cute pair of leggings with a gorgeous, loose top. Seen on every runway, spring/summer calls for statement leggings such as slouched white or satin black. You may even want to try a bright, bold pattern. Perhaps try layering with your chic summer blazer. 

Following these tips and trends are sure to make any woman look fresh and fabulous, while keeping cool when the weather gets hot.  

All items are available at Diane Merrick Clothing Salon.

Another gem, or gems, on 3^rd Street by the Beverly Center, Polkadots & Moonbeams is broken up into two separate locations: a modern and vintage. I spent my time in the Vintage area because it was like walking into a candy store at Disney Land and losing sight of the door. The entrance outside is lined with tutus of various colors, making it look like cotton candy. When you walk in, all the vintage pieces are so well put together, the pearls are like gumballs and the knits are like multi-colored strings of licorice.

Personally, I'm on the fence about vintage apparel. I love getting a deal on something unique and of course love exclaiming "It's vintage!" when someone asks where I got the piece, but I do have one hard and fast rule for vintage apparel at this point in my life: if it's more than I would spend on it had it never been worn before, I won't buy it. Let's face it, vintage is a fancy word for "used" and if it looks used, feels used, there is no need for it to be hugely expensive just because it happens to be a trendy boutique in a cool part of town. Someone else has sweat in that article of clothing you are about to call your own.

With that said, Polkadots & Moonbeams does not overly hike up the price for their pieces. The price on my favorite items was about the same, or less, than what I would have spent had it been brand new. The difference at this place over some other vintage stores is that the quality of merchandise is really great and I did not find any stains or discoloration (yellowish collars instead of white, for example). I loved, loved, loved a raw silk coat with faux fur ¾ sleeve trim and it was only $168. I could see myself channeling Jackie O, while walking down Melrose in 90 degree heat. They carried my favorite shoe designer, Dolce Vita, with a Fall '09 shoe, but no price on them unfortunately. They would look great with my new coat, though. Under the coat, I could wear this white silk shift dress with crochet black knitting that was $145-worth the price! Then to lighten up my very proper new wardrobe, I could have gotten this great knit multi colored vest, channeling the styles of Free People, but not quite as expensive, running a cool $78.

All in all, I was impressed. I wish I spent more time in the other store. I probably would have had it not been half way up the block but actually connected or right next door. They seemed to have very cool clientele, which is always a good sign of a great neighborhood staple as well.

Tea Time: Now enjoy your favorite designers with a cup of tea. German shop, Donkey Products, has released a small collection of tea bags attached to the bodies of designers, including Karl Lagerfeld, Donatella Versace, Jean-Paul Gaultier and more. We wonder why they didn't fit Alber Elbaz on to one of those things?

The teabags are priced at $10, but we're sure the real excitement will come from shopping on the website attempting to decipher German.

Time To Get Busy: We confess that we are major Twitter fans, so when The Cobra Snake tweeted a photo of condoms he was gifted by Proper Attire, we knew we had to add them to this week's shopping list. Even better, the condoms are designed by Jeremy Scott - who by the way, tweets away too.

The condoms are $5.99 for a three pack and promise premium lubrication, extra sensation and maximum pleasure. We won't say if we're going to test them out, but as of right now, our favorite style seems to be the dots.

Paul Rowland, founder of Women Management and Supreme, has left both modeling agencies - heading over to Ford Models.

Rowland apparently left the company because he didn't get along with management - though it's said he sold the company a few years ago, but stayed as an executive.

So why would he stay so long, you ask?

“He had a huge salary there, but wasn’t really getting along with management. So basically, he just left," says an insider.

But will he get along with the people at Ford?

Another insider said Ford 'cleaned house and canned everyone,' to make room for Rowland and his selected few that he was to bring with him. But, like a game of fashionable musical chairs, the head of the women's division at Ford, Caroline Poznanski, - who lost her job in the midst of the scandal - is rumored to be heading over to Supreme, Rowland's ex-agency.

The insider continues, “There were rumors around that Supreme was just going to close, but instead they hired Poznanski and absorbed some other people who had been let go from Ford.”

Ford Models, Women and Supreme are three of New York's biggest agencies - grooming the careers of a few top supermodels, such as Chanel Iman, Tao Okamoto, Jacquelyn Jablonski and more. Though they're still featured on Ford's roster, a veteran booker told Page Six: "The models at these places are in a tailspin. A lot, including [Ford girls] Chanel Iman and Jacquelyn Jablonski, don't know if they're staying or going. There will likely be a spate of lawsuits because both Paul and Caroline are trying to bring their girls over, but they have noncompetes in their contracts."

Could this possibly be a reason why we didn't get to see too much of Chanel Iman during fashion month? But on second thought, maybe she's just over walking the runways, since she's been given her Victoria Secret's PINK stamp of approval (by way of those annoying PINK advertisements that pop up whenever you visit style.com).

Regardless, Supreme kept mum about the scandal - suggesting press talk to Rowland himself - as Ford spoke with openly about their new arrangements.

"There have been some changes at Ford. We are looking forward to a new chapter."

A change to come!

At least that is what the board was thinking yesterday morning when they changed the bylaws of the CFDA/Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Diane Von Furstenberg, who has served as president for two-two year terms, has been re-elected to serve another term until December 31, 2012.

The two year term rule was enforced after former president, Stan Herman, served as president for 15 years - far too long. However, Diane's term-expansion was highly supported by CFDA board members who believe Diane's leadership has helped expand the organization's membership.

Changes At W Magazine: W Magazine - which doesn't have an editor-in-chief - will soon be searching for one after Conde Nast's plan to cut the magazine's ties to WWD. The two publications were known for sharing staff, Bridget Foley and Patrick McCarthy most notably, with the exception of W's publisher, Gina Sanders. Senior staff of W, including Foley and McCarthy, will now work exclusively for WWD. W Magazine, which was down 45.8% in ad sales for 2009, also was removed from Conde Nast subgroup Fairchild Fashion Group. Conde Nast CEO Chuck Townsend says, "This formally establishes a structure for W consistent with our other consumer magazine titles, and allows FFG the autonomy to focus on their core business-to-business publications and related businesses.”

Terry Richardson Known For His Pervert Ways: Yesterday we enlightened you on stories models came forth with regarding famous photographer, Terry Richardson, and his ways of convincing his subjects to engage in sexual acts with him. But, a lot of industry insiders are wondering why everyone is so surprised - his work, um...ethic, is very well known. The photographer, who has worked with Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Purple and more, is said to be very open about his encounters. But does that make it okay? And, is it right for people to have knowledge of what's going on, but to still accept him with open arms? Richardson hasn't commented on the accusations - but we must admit he's one hell of a photographer. Hmm, we wonder what kind of story J-WOW walked away with, back when Richardson shot the cast of Jersey Shore for Interview Magazine a few weeks ago.

Stella McCartney Back At Gap: Stella McCartney's Kids Gap collection was a hit last fall, so it was expected that she would dabble again in the craze. Stella launched her Spring 2010 Gap bevy today in London - with the totally cute and adorable kids from the ads in tow. The bevy included striped sweaters and onesies, green jackets and patterned dresses. The popularity of last seasons bevy drove Carla Bruni to don one of the military jackets for a TV appearance - so we're eager to see if she'll opt for the striped onesie this time around.

Beyonce's HEAT Fragrance Selling: We're not too keen on the latest Beyonce and Lady Gaga collaboration, but we will say her business savvy is far beyond us. In February, Beyonce launched her HEAT fragrance at a New York City event. Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren recently revealed his chain has sold $3 million worth of the Heat fragrance between February and March - 72,000 of those bottles were sold in one hour when Beyonce made a store appearance. But, we likely still won't be purchasing any. Oop!

We have just returned from a desperately needed editor's re-see of the Twinkle By Wenlan Fall 2010 bevy, for the runway show at Bryant Park didn't nearly do the collection justice.

Though the showroom may have been a tad bit toasty, the heat couldn't stop us from wanting to run and jump into the Twinkle By Wenlan bedding decor and wrap ourselves in the strings of yarn the label offers for ordering.

The staff coordinated a stellar presentation of the Fall and Pre-Fall 2010 looks for editors' and buyers' viewing pleasure. Observing the garments up close and personal, we were amazed by the quirky and admirable details that we didn't catch from our seats at the runway show. For example, a one crew-neck mesh dress (with prints along the mid-drift) came equipped with thumb holes at the end of the sleeves.

Although it was great to get an up-close look at the cutout and lingerie detailing in the bevy, we were especially enticed by the jewelry presentation. Enviable jewelry trends, like layers of chains overloaded with charms, were given new life with a delicate edge.

A label known for its signature knitwear, Twinkle By Wenlan offers needle-savvy fans the chance to DIY. The company has published 4 books featuring sewing or knitting patterns and instructions to make your own garments from Twinkle's prior collections. 

We must say, although we didn't initially anticipate such a pleasant presentation, an up-close look really changed our views on the Fall 2010 bevy.

It's St. Patricks Day; and as much as we are attempting to ignore the mosh pits of green cruising down the Avenue of Americas, we can't.

But we will discuss the buzz on the internet today, starting wtih Suri Cruise's $850 dollar Salvatore Ferragamo handbag.

As a tiny tot for fashion, there are a few differences between Suri and us. Actually, there are several major differences between Suri and us. They are:

Paparazzi: Our intimate days of playing tag, hide-and-seek and obsessing over our favorite pink Hula Hop, did not consist of getting photographed by prying eyes to land on the cover of gossip magazines.

Parents: We didn't have the pleasure to be the offsprings of two of the most famous movie stars in the world. In fact, we didn't have parents who Oprah would dedicate show specials to. Granted, Suri's way more famous than her mother Katie Holmes.

Fashion: Dresses and cute frilly things caught our eyes - just like Suri's - but, we're trying to recall if we wore kitten heels, Christian Louboutin, shopped at Hermes and carried Salvatore Ferragamo bags. We're still trying to recall.

Celeb-Blogger Tommy Ton of Jak & Jil, seemed to spark a whirl of rumors with his tweet that suggested a dramatic change within the fashion industry.

Word spread, and immediately targeted the rumors of Karl Lagerfeld leaving Chanel, only to be one-up'd by Lanvin's Alber Elbaz. Chanel promptly denied any accusations that such rumor was reality.

After such a whirlwind, Tommy continued to fuel the hinting game via Twitter, suggesting his Twitter followers review the Style.com Paris videos the decipher the big secret he was sworn not to tell.

So what is this all about, you ask?

Tommy recently tweeted the entire thing was all a prank from Givenchy's designer, Ricardo Tisci:

"Guessing game is over. My source and I are the victim of a good prank played by Mr. Tisci himself. He got us good :(,"
