Kids, when the Miu Miu show finally arrives, that’s when you know that the fashion week is coming to an end. It’s a good time to ask… The Big Fashion Questions :

Fashion Week Diary because even though Milan is already behind us, I still haven’t really told you much more than “I love these shoes! I love this show! I love this girl!” And really, I’m a much deeper more profound girl than that (“I love yoga!!!”)

So today, special just for you….. *drum roll please…*

The Big Questions I’m Asking Myself During Fashion Week

READ MORE

So here we are in London, and there you have it.

It’s raining. Other than that…

Shopping : All the Parisians are making their obligatory stroll around TopShop (which isn’t in Paris yet). All the New Yorkers are doing their obligatory stroll around Cos (which isn’t in NYC yet).

So as this time around I went to Cos, I suppose that makes me officially a New Yorker!

But outside of that, yep…. It’s raining.

It-Girl : The It-Girl is definitely an English phenomenon. In New York, you don’t see too many in the front row. The question that keeps coming up for me is how they are so dressed to the nines at every show? Do they get paid to go to the shows? Or is it because it’s good advertising? Or does it depend on the degree of celebrity? Do you guys know? Okay, it’s a deal, I’m launching an investigation.

And did I mention it’s raining?

Gossip : In the British Grazia, they said that Blake Lively is gonna take the role of a young Carrie Bradshaw in a movie to come.

Wait, Carrie’s too old? Pffff, totally the end of an era. But so curious to see what’s to come as well. Because really, I don’t know that I could take another stiletto clad adventure underneath palm trees.

Wait, I think I just saw some sunshine… Wait for it…

Fashion : Mulberry makes amazing bags. Burberry makes the most sublime trench coats. Margaret Howell makes shirts to die for and the best parties in the world are in London. And that being the case, why on earth do all the shows start at 9:00 in the morning? Why, WHY?!

Ah nope. Damn. It was just a car headlight.

Good news! The models in London are a little bit less skinny than in New York. During the Mulberry show, I even thought I might have seen… some breast! Real ones that move (a tiny bit)! Wahoo!

Hold on, I gotta get an umbrella from the hotel.

Ahhh dammit. The hotel umbrellas are way too big (and in a florescent pink)(all that just so we don’t steal them? Who do they take us for?)

Bad News! I almost poked a fashion editor’s eye out who seemed pretty important as I saw her in the front row every day. I’m not sure who she is, but I gave her a million apologies and threw my umbrella at my chauffeur. Cause this is exactly the kind of thing that could get you shunned from fashion for life. Like cutting off Anna Wintour mid-stride (been done). Or getting confused and accidently stealing a VIP’s seat at a show (been done).

And so that’s why who cares? I’ll let the rain rain down right on me.

We’re in London after all, and that’s just how it goes, and it’s beautiful that way.

As I am about to collapse under a mountain of work, straddling three different time zones which is driving me a little off my rocker (Pretty much, here it is: I’m in Phoenix, Arizona in a hotel room working on a project for the other side of the world. And everything is going through Salomé, my lovely agent who is in Paris.)(???)(Oh the internet…), I’m sending you this little film with our favorite images from the fashion weeks, moments when we didn’t know Chris was recording what we were up to, and a whole bunch of other things that I hope you love as much as we do.

Voilà, here’s a video that’s a little longer because it was so much fun to make, full of everything, times of nothingness and all the little moments that happen when a fashion week comes to a close and we want only want thing… For another to start! Big hugs!

Monday, 10:34 : Stella McCartney at Opera Garnier. The show is a complete contrast with the explosion of gold in the decor. It’s simple, straight cut, and beige, beige, beige.

Here’s a few select morsels from my weekend, because if I told you everything, it’d take all day.

The most important thing in life is learning to adapt. For a long time, I’ve managed to spend my nights during fashion week writing, but now, I’m going to have so many things to do in the next 10 days that the best I can do is write directly onto my phone between runway shows in order to take you with me on my days.

So this is… A super experimental post, something like Twitter, just not in real time!

Woooohooooo!!! The new Vogue.com is live! And to inaugurate the site’s renaissance, I had the chance to follow around Carine Roitfeld during the fashion weeks.

First off, I’m so excited about this new collaboration with Paris Vogue. Because I’ll be working closely with the magazine team and will take you with me behind the scenes that always keep me dreaming. But also because the new Vogue.com gives me all the freedom in the world to express myself with larger images, sounds, and a lot of new things I’ll be playing with over the next year. And then because I can share everything with you, thanks to Tim who will be translating my articles with his legendary talent. (Tim, I love you.)
