Imaginary Socialite

1. Chuck Close eschews models instead of stylists. But they still have to take off their clothes.

2. Remember when Freddie said he had a girlfriend? It wasn’t a plot line - he meant it. But who’d have guessed she was another fashion chick?!

3. The Beatrice reopens… in Miami… for Art Basel… no luck here though, at least not yet…

4. The Jane actually does reopen… count down from two weeks and you’ll be dancing (by yourself) in no time.

5. Momsen vs. Swift. Discuss.

There’s a new contest to win $700 worth of Stella McCartney underwear.

You just enter your name and contact information on Stella’s website, then wait until they pick the winner in December.

That’s lovely - until you realize the indigo bra and panty set at left is probably $700 worth of Stella McCartney altogether.

But hey - it’s all vegan…

The owner of this Gucci messenger bag was clad in mostly something else:

A head-to-toe, Latin-to-Calculus outfit cribbed exclusively from Rugby Ralph Lauren. Covered in skulls and cross-stitched in cashmere, his whole blue-and-cream existence waits for the blur of the L train to smear by and stop.

So what’s the deal with the Gucci pack?

Is it the only shade of ivory that matches Ralph’s top stitch? Is it an earmark for the eventual trade-in of those duck boots for G-stamped loafers? Or does it cost the same as a Metro Card?
