4. Style.com has an in depth interview with former French Vogue EIC Carine Roitifeld.

It’s strange for me to come back here to New York during the fashion show season and not to be the editor in chief of French Vogue. Of course, I’ve done it before when I was just a freelancer, but ten years is a long time. It’s like 20 times I came here for the shows, and suddenly I’m not the editor in chief. That’s a custom, so it’s hard to now be a freelance editor. But it’s exciting, too.

5. Band of Outsiders forwent their usual presentation for a proper runway show. Kirtsen Dunst and Kid Cudi were in attendance and models dropped from the ceiling in harnesses. [HeardOnTheRunway]
