It is unclear how long Michael Alig will be spending at the much more lax security center, (Washington Correctional Center), but he is definitely one step closer to swooping in and saving NYC nightlife! YIPPEE! Uncle Steve (Lewis) has been with Michael every step of the way, keeping him in the loop, and has promised me an interview “whenever you’d like kid.” (Michael is set to be released for good in March of 2010).

Chadwick Bell, an up-and-coming young designer and his business partner Vanessa Webster are the minds behind Chadwick Bell, a fashion house that the two friends dreamt up years ago. Chadwick designed the stunning cashmere-silk gown that Rachelle wore to the Frick Collection Young Fellow’s Ball last night, and today the super-sweet duo were kind enough to answer some questions about his collection and its inspiration (looks from the Fall 2009 collection, which landed on one of this past Fashion Week’s WWD covers, were based entirely upon Catherine Deneuve’s character the French cinema classic “Belle de Jour”).
How did you get started in fashion?
