"When it's 3:00 in New York, it's still 1938 in London," the wise Bette Midler once said. The good news is New York is still ahead of the curve. The bad news is that curve now involves curbing fun, as London starts following New York's lead in shutting down the city's most popular nightlife venues. More»

New York's most fashionable citizens jumped the pond for last night's Elle Style Awards in London. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung, Jared Leto, Claire Danes, Naomi Campbell and Olivia Palermo, who should all be exhausted from the festivities of NYFW, nonetheless mustered up the energy to celebrate Fashion's brightest stars at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

I guess the Brits were watching the impressive performances at the Grammy's last month and decided to really up their game for their own music award ceremony, The Brit Awards. Let's just say, Lily Allen flew in on a rocket, Cheryl Cole did some kind of crazy orgiastic dance, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys did New York proud with their performance of "Empire State Of Mind", and Gaga outdid herself, again.

Queen Elizabeth hosted the annual Royal Variety performance last night in London. Previous performers have included Luciano Pavarotti, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Elton John. This year, they had Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga. It really is the end of the monarchy, isn't it? More»

Girlcore started when a group of six girls didn't want to be told that the party was over last summer at London's Secret Gardens. Today, the DIY collective that used to be "girls only" is hosting some of the most coveted mashed-up parties in England.  Take their last "Glitterball" (above), a posh ending to the London Fashion week.

We like to check in with Banksy every so often. We're pretty sure the Brit has an inner New Yorker, which is why he stops into town every now and again. Between the pet shops, Keszler stops in Southampton and Houston Street murals; we're hooked. The timing for one of the artist's reality doses seems especially appropriate, now that we are in a grey zone somewhere between bottle service blow outs and thrift obsession, since supposedly the recession is over.

The House of Holland Spring 2010 collection caused a frenzy this week with photographers losing their marbles over catching shots of guests Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung, and many more. The backstage action was just as hectic while models prepared to walk the runway with teased up-dos drenched in Henry Holland's vibrant and very lacy collection... More»

Lets all collectively thank Jeremy Scott for taking us back to the town of Bedrock in Hanna-Barbera-Land shall we? The celebrity favorite and fashionably-brave designer made his London Fashion Week debut with his caveman-friendly Spring 2010 collection showing off his Flinstones-inspired designs. Models strutted down the runway in clothes only fit for Pebbles and Bamm Bamm at their stylish best... More»

They've all moved to New York for one reason or another, but Emma Watson, Agyness Deyn, and Alexa Chung are all home for London Fashion Week. Agyness and Alexa we can understand, but Emma? The freshman at Brown University claims to want an "American college experience", but we're pretty sure she's the only Brown student who flew to London for the Burberry Show. Never to miss a fashion event, Mary-Kate Olsen also flew over for the festivities. It definitely takes a tireless set of girls to keep up with Anna! More»
