1. “Girls” Girl
Jemima Kirke’s druid-chic getup at the VMAs was amazing. Totem-pole-printed gauze atop a “She’s All That”-style little red dress? Sure, why not?
2. Lucky Star
Madonna tops Forbes’ 2013 list of the highest-earning celebrities. The material girl brought in an estimated $125 million between June 2012 and 2013.
3. Black Swans
The photographer Robert Harper has at once anachronistic and naïve ideas of what it means to be a prima ballerina. His photographs for Vice, though stunning, seem weirdly preoccupied with cigarettes and simple carbohydrates.
4. Geek Chic
Ithaca is now more gorges than ever. Cornell University’s nanotech lab is producing everything from malaria-deflecting catsuits to antibacterial nylon to iPhone-charging dresses.
5. Model Citizen
Little Miss Eyebrows is going gamer. Cara Delevingne unveiled on Instagram that she’ll be lending her voice to the next edition of Grand Theft Auto.
6. Rant Check
With his memorable broadside on the fat September fashion issues, Eric Wilson of The New York Times is beginning to sound like “a gay Andy Rooney” (his own words).
7. Nostalgia Trap
In keeping with the recent enthusiasm for all things ’90s (vampy lips, ditsy-print dresses), Rag & Bone has selected Erin O’Connor and Kirsty Hume, two of that era’s biggest supermodels, as its Fall 2013 faces.
8. Fashion Prescription
The fashion designer Betsey Johnson channels Florence Nightingale, distributing NYFW invitations (and breath mints!) in transparent-orange pill bottles.
9. Furry Footwear
Divya Anantharaman, the style-obsessed taxidermist, has parlayed her affection for dead animals into a line of footwear. Got an extra $3,000? Then you, too, could be the proud owner of a pair of stuffed sparrow-adorned stilettos.
10. Soggy Showgoers?
Two tropical storms are currently brewing, threatening to dampen New York Fashion Week, which kicks off on Thursday, and soak all those 120-millimeter pumps. Time to rinse off the wellies?
