I can't believe that the tents will no longer be in Bryant Park for Fashion Week.  It's nice to know that they will be moving to my absolutely favorite place in NY, Lincoln Center.  It's a shame I didn't go there as much as I could have, it's so far uptown, but ever since the first time Pete took me there I fell in love.

I'm not sure how I feel about the additional building, labeled Mercedes-Benz in the photo below, that they are erecting to house the shows.  The layout of that property feels so serene, and that's hard to find in the city.

So there has been some gossip going around that Karl Lagerfeld, the head of Chanel,


is leaving the brand and will  "Announce his successor".  Thankfully those reports were wrong and he will not be "Replaced".

Here are some shots, taken from CocoPerez.com, of the Fall 2010 show, or as Perez put it

This is such an inspiring story.  Could you imagine being a   "19 Year Old Designer Presenting At Paris Fashion Week"

Brazilian designer Pedro Lourenco achieved just that.  Watch his show below
