Imaginary Socialite

1. The Chelsea Hotel, Suite 712. Spotted: artists, blue bloods, rock bands, Aussies, starlets, fuck-buddies of starlets, a former face of Proenza, and “the front row’s next generation.” Either you were there… or you stayed fully clothed.

2. The Friendly appearance of two megastars in one movie at the Jane Hotel on Saturday. But their studio pays them to go out together… at least until the box office numbers get released.

3. Is celeb stylist Johnny W going to “ghost” design a fashion house in Europe? Only if a celeb BFF gets the “figurehead” deal.

4. FASHION’S NIGHT OUT! IT’S COMING! AND THEY’RE PSYCHED! AND THEY EVEN EMAILED OUR IMAGINARY ADDRESS! SAYING YAY, FNO IS AWESOME!, BUT NO, 250 MODELS WILL NOT BE STALKING THE STREETS! SO YOU’LL JUST HAVE TO DRESS LIKE A MODEL AND GET OUT THERE!

GO SHOPPING ON SEPTEMBER 9 AND CELEBRATE ALL THE TALENT WHO HAVE US (LITERALLY) IN STITCHES! WE LOVE YOU FASHION’S NIGHT OUT!

A confession:

I’ve always felt a bit guilty posting these Dress That Won’t Die pictures.

I don’t mean all of them. The ones where a girl flutters by on the street, fine. The ones where you can see the Dr. Seuss stripes from ten rows up at a concert, cool.

It’s the ones where random girls grin straight into the camera and smile, as if someone squealed “Oh my gosh, can I take a picture of your outfit for a blog?” and they thought they’d be on Fashion Toast.

Oops.

So yes, something gnaws at me when I hit “post” at times like these.

I wonder why I always do it anyway…

So now that Anna Wintour’s dragging David Letterman to Queens on a sock-finding mission, you should probably know this:

For Fashion’s Night Out, Vogue is booking not one, not two, but 250 models to be scattered throughout the Boroughs.

That means if you can’t catch Mary Kate at Barneys or Sienna at Intermix, it’s all okay -

You could be crashing into Coco at Nine West (the shoe company will host a party with Lucky) or knocking over Lily and Agyness at the Burberry flagship.

Of course, there’s still one more piece of the puzzle - where will Alexa Chung be?
