Fashion news: The CFDA Town Hall, a Rad new line and the offspring of Anna and Karl
The CFDA had a Town Hall meeting last night to discuss the relevancy of out-of-season fashion weeks in the Internet age. But what you really want to know is: What did André Leon Talley wear? “The Vogue editor at large got out in a light gray suit with a small Louis Vuitton man-purse and parked himself at a table by the entrance. He applied lotion to his hands and sent someone out for a cappuccino, skim, with Splenda, at the Starbucks across the street. Once it was delivered, Mr. Talley went into the auditorium and took his seat.” Thank you for just existing, ALT. [New York Observer]

Dear Grazia: Why is the addition of thick glasses automatically “geek” chic (or preppy geek, as you say. Preek? Come on)? Some of us spent many years watching Battlestar Galactica in order to claim this label and we will not just let Cholë Sevigny and Molly Sims just walk into any old Lenscrafters and take it from us. Thank you. [Grazia]
