Dead Authors at Fashion Week: Part 4

You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino’s review of Miuccia Prada’s new collection for Spring/Summer 2013. Relax. Concentrate. Close out all other Internet windows. Set your Gchat status to Busy. Tell your friends right away, “No I don’t want to chat with you about the UN General Assembly right now, I am reading about fashion!” Type it in all caps—they won’t know that you’re yelling otherwise—“I AM READING ABOUT PRADA’S SUBVERSIVE FLOWERS ON COATS!” Or if you prefer, send them a GIF; just be like: here. Find the best “I’m reading” look: glasses and some heritage denim, anything heather gray with spots of paint on it, or a navy blue pea coat with a neon beanie. You can even work in some tweed, naturally. So now, you’re ready to see what Mrs. Prada has up her sleeve for this season. Just how exactly has she managed to intellectualize boxy dresses this time? It’s not that you expect anything in particular from this particular review. You’re the sort of person who, on principle, no longer expects to feel something when they look at clothes. There are plenty, younger than you or less young, who live in the expectation that H&M’s Prada derivative will deliver the same extraordinary experience as the real thing. But not you. You know that the best you can expect is to find some good vintage with a similar silhouette, for Miuccia to do a collection for Target, or for the day to arrive when wardrobe credits are awarded in society based on intelligence. But you’re still following the collections and you noticed that a review of Prada’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection by Italo Calvino appeared and you clicked on the link to read it. Good for you. Perhaps you wondered whether the author felt a kinship with the designer, given that they are both communist-leaning Italians. Very astute. Or maybe you thought a writer of great fiction has nothing to do with wonky coats and his voice should not be forced upon this subject. But then you go on and realize that you really, really want that wonky coat and that though you thought Prada was for Movies in Which Anne Hathaway Works at a Fashion Magazine or Shows You Forgot To See at The Met, it is beautiful nevertheless, and it’s the fashion itself that arouses you; in fact, on sober reflection, you prefer it this way, confronting something new and not quite knowing yet what shoes you’ll wear with it.

10 Reasons why High Fashion is Beating Streetwear at its Own Game

One of the main trends that we have been witnessing in recent years is the steady move of high fashion brands into the streetwear market. Entire brand relaunches have been based on it, with Givenchy maybe being the most prominent one. When talking about streetwear, we do not mean denim or leather jackets, we mean bold graphic t-shirts and attention seeking sneakers. When a few years ago high fashion was exclusively known for premium materials and proper cuts, today things look a little different. Their graphics have become very interesting and their expertise in fabrics and special treatments is obviously also adding to the appeal of their products. Givenchy, Christopher Kane, Paul Smith, Marc Jacobs producing all over print tees is nothing new anymore. Margiela and Louboutin making solid sneakers that might actually get more eye balls than the latest Nike Dunk is also routine at this point. Has the consumer changed, has streetwear not been able to defend its own territory or what else could have caused this change? One thing is for sure, after we have seen extremely bold moves in streetwear from brands like The Hundreds, 10.Deep, A Bathing Ape and others in the 2005-2007 period, with the crash of the global economy, everybody focussed again on more timeless and quality garments. Maybe this recent trend is the follow-up to the extreme simplicity that we have witnessed in recent years. Here below we have worked on 10 reasons that we believe make High Fashion beat streetwear at its own game at the moment. Credibility – Because of their expertise and history in the high fashion industry anything that the High Fashion labels create can only be the best. Quality – The High Fashion brands have a greater range of possibilities to work with the highest quality fabrics and the best manufacturing facilities. Designers – Pulling great designers from everywhere with promising career possibilities for most reasonable payment the High Fashion brands have the best sources of fresh, skilled, best educated designers. Innovations – Working with newest developements also in the scientific area High Fashion brands can afford to research and use new inventions to optimize fabrics and give their collection items new aspects. Collaborations – Because everybody wants to work with the top designers, there are never ending options of collaborations with brands, labels and artists always creating new special editions. Independence – Not having to rely on retailers because the High Fashion brands mostly have their own stores to sell the products they are independent to take their freedoms. Difference – Sneakers have become so common and widely accepted in society that they are worn by the masses. Unique in this environment is who differentiates himself by wearing a sneaker that is not mass produced. Communication – Having the resources to commission huge campaigns to advertise with testimonials that draw highest attention and have real credibility. Exclusivity through availability – The demand for High Fashion is higher than the availability. Often the brands release less quantity that is exclusively to purchase in their own flagship stores. Exclusivity through pricing – The high prices for those High Fashion brands are often higher than the usual customer can and regularly afford which creates an even higher desire for those items. Let us know if you agree or if you do not agree in the comments!

A handbag that provides a place for everything

Last week, I emptied my loyal Louis Vuitton travel bag - the iconic Speedy 30 - and he put on the back of the case. It's not like we never see each other again (I've done a million times), but I'm sick and tired of looking for things. Considering the price, you would think that would be my Vuitton epitome of efficiency, with many compartments to make organization easy. Think again. The interior is a black hole, and most of the time it's a big ugly mess. This week I'm going with my new handbag by Adele on my arm. It is a tenth of the cost and lives by the motto, "A place for everything and everything in its place." You have not heard of the line? This is because it started in Canada. I think I have a few of the handbags in Windsor, thanks to Wendy Sexton. She was among the first to pick up the collection, which is from Meridian, Idaho. The nice thing is that you use a basic template to create your own one-of-a-kind handbag design have. Here's how it works in four simple steps: First, select the desired color. There are many ways, solid red, turquoise, purple and black leopard and bold zebra print. Now, choose a handbag that you five different styles. Third step: Select one of the six clutches, you can use individually or in groups in an external pocket on the front of the bag to hold credit cards, cash and lip gloss. And finally, the fourth step: Let style bag to mix, with dozens of different clip-on accessories and adapt. What ever you do, you can not go wrong. I opted for the sandbag Emma-shoulder fake ostrich trim with contrasting black patent leather. (The shape reminds me of one of my other Vuitton, so I could not resist.) Then I have the right coupling, which has a removable shoulder strap and zipper purse. The exterior is rich and elegant, but it's the interior that makes me happy. With this award, it is impossible not to be organized. Each bag has the same characteristics. Food, for example, is richly patterned gray and black. It reflects the light and makes it easier to find things. There is a pocket for your wallet safe and comfortable. To hold a keychain your keys. Multiple pockets for sunglasses and expenses. There are many bags that I really discovered another quite by accident the other day. There is a slot for the phone and hold pockets for notebooks and pens. (There are also telephone and mobile phone owners prefer it if you turn it off.) Even bags with a zipper clear cosmetic bag that meets the requirements of Homeland Security, a boon for frequent travelers. If it know one complaint I have, and you know I always complain about something, it's my bag strap particular. He looks too bright - a bit cheap and fragile when you consider how expensive and elegant the purse itself looks. This is something that the designer would like to update the next collection. The total price of my bag, clutch and wallet was $ 169.50. Prices vary depending on what you choose and how you accessorize. If you go all the grace Adele collection you want to check jewelry and scarves to wendysexton.gracedele.ca Wendy told you. Your own pocket to build the website to see how it looks before buying And while you can do your shopping online, said there is no shipping cost if you order in him. It is the pocket to deliver your door, all dolled up in beautiful wrapping paper and to bear its own dust.

He calls the company "no more than a post office box" that can LVMH the French to escape tax.

A Belgian TV crew visited 13th September modest office building in Brussels, where most shops are located. Companies were listed on a sign in front of a closed door, knocked as a reporter, said an inner voice: "No one is here."

Belgian newspapers quoted the mayor of the district of Uccle Brussels said last week that Arnault said in late 2011 that he will go to Belgium because he was dissatisfied with the French tax policies did.

Arnault said his "personal action" is not intended to send a political message or billionaire evade taxes Holland allegedly.

French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said yesterday that the 75-percent tax to remain in place for two years.

"We are not watering down the measure," he said in an interview with RTL radio. "This is a strong degree of patriotism. Those who became rich during the period can help to turn a patriotic way to the country."

In order to benefit from lower tax rates in Belgium Arnault would not need to be a Belgian citizen - although it would be necessary to have his main residence there.

Arnault said he wanted a Belgian passport, because he wants to invest. Local investment, however, said he would not benefit with citizenship.

The agony ... He was angry, because I am at the reception at home on my laptop used with headphones and a microphone. He certainly took a second to get used to the whole studio process. It really was a whole new experience.

2 Chainz never came by the house to a verse on a song that you drop recorded in your notebook?
[Laughs] No, 2 Chainz never come across the old place in Oakland.

What will surprise people on the album?
I certainly think the last song, "Luv house" will surprise everyone, because it amazes me literally every time I listen. And it is certainly a very different Kreayshawn. But I wanted the album is a musical adventure. every song I wanted to be a different kind of music, and it was only the thought process behind the album. I want every song. Gender to be a reflection of the music I in me, because I'm so many different types of music, different artists

They are part of a generation iPod and MP3, which was raised in a culture shuffle, and you are exposed to several types as a result. It seems that much of the music of younger artists difficult to classify, because it is everywhere, the effect of a clock.
I mean, I never really thought about it, but it's quite logical. I come from a generation where ADD is everything you need to change the channel or jump on something, and you can change to an atmosphere quite different. This is probably why the album was released, as he does. I grew up in the ghetto, but I had a mother of punk rock. It has always been so half and half. It has always been punk rock super or super hip-hop and rap, you know there between these two extremes there are many other sub-genres. This album is a growing Internet ADD sure.

A song that is on the album "BFF". It is a slow process, sincere love ballad.
In fact, "BFF" is literally my favorite song on the album. Well, they're all my favorites. But "BFF" is so good for me because it's ugly, but it makes sense. I'm in the booth and I sing and play. I have just the song best friends. Literally, in, well, it will take almost. This song is amazing. Every time it is turned on, you have to breathe and sing and cry.

She spoke candidly in the past to be a victim of years of "do not give a fuck syndrome." Are you still be worried about, and can you tell us what are the symptoms so we can know if we took a case.
I have not yet. It is always a struggle. It's as if you do not give a fuck, but at the same time you fuck that you do not give a fuck. But that makes no sense. So you need not to worry at the end of the day. And I think that's one of those things, if you really are happy with yourself and like who you are and you know, "Oh, I'll be like this forever. So I am." To not try your tongue and hold. Sometimes do not want to say anything, you do not want to do something because you think it's weird, even if it makes you feel normal. I think if you do not give a fuck syndrome, and do what you want to do, and not like a damn what people say. Or when people say something bad about them, taunting. You're like, ha, they are stupid ... if they do not get it does not mean it's stupid, they just do not get. That's their problem, not mine.

The past year has been an adventure for you. She became famous overnight with the online success of "Gucci". This of course comes the inevitable critics, people who tell you what you do, it's not worth a shit. To address these enemies "Like It Or Love It." What a typical day for you look in terms of those who hate?
People have their opinions about where I should be or what I should do. But they do not know who I am. You do not know what happened. You do not know what I think. I really never get to something with the intention of where he is now, if they like the people do not know what they are talking is done. They just wish they were in my position. "Like It Or Love It" is certainly how I do not give a fuck. I say what I mean ... even if it makes no sense. Anyway, this is my shit. This is my world. This is my song. And it's really cool that I had [Kid] Cudi on this point, because I feel like if one of those people that had to be done and do not give a fuck what people say and what he admired his own vision of the wants to do what he has, and he will do it, no matter what people say in the media and other artists or think he should do.

You mention the media and other artists, but today it is the public, who can throw the most judgment. With Twitter, you can always send hate messages on her mobile phone by simply pressing a send button.
When I say media, I hear the music blogs that are written by people who are not qualified to give an opinion on the music. She sucks it is with things as complex and official bound [our sister paper, where the interview was originally published] LA Weekly and other things. Things that had to do research this story and things and then you have an asshole who has a blog might be a bit more popular these comments so he could run ads on them only. It sucks.

It's interesting to hear you say that, because. Some people say the same of you, just because you have access to a laptop and making beats in FruityLoops or other not give you the right to rap Today's technology allows you to access all do everything, and it's amazing to listen to someone who grew up in a generation that believed a public platform, have to say to validate your opinions, essentially "These blogs are not valid "or that people are not qualified.
You have to understand. My mother in music. I had. Microphone in hand, at the age of two years My love for music and my passion and my involvement in music goes back to my first vinyl appearance in 1995. Me and my homegirl was printed on the computer to beatings from my mother 10 years on mix tapes and give them to our friends just for fun. I've never made music with the intention of money in my life. I have never sold a song. I had never been paid for a verse. None of it. I do what I do for the love of music. Therefore it is sometimes difficult, because if you give them the position of people think that these weird things about you. I am never angry with anyone. I jump out of "Gucci". That was the main thing. But my love and music history goes way back. And I think it's a bit like the difference between people who come and go. I know girls who say, "Oh, I just started rapping five months cuz my friends told me that I would rap for that cool." It's not cool., But if you. Love of music, I think that's what a good musician and a musician makes durable

Someone like you who has half a million followers on Twitter, can not cope with all the tweets sent to probably the way, good or bad. Have you tried?
I used so wrong with my Twitter is always careful. Read more. I am vigilant. I'm always looking. I'm always watching everything that happens. So for a while I had a problem, always down on me, reading these things. Then I learned to read good things. After a while I have a break from Twitter, even though it sounds super stupid that I did take a break from Twitter, and I tweet like, forgotten. I forgot how to pay attention to certain things. It helped me a lot. Now I do not know if people notice I do not tweet as much as I do. I about all the things that I want people to know, anyway, I want to thank my fans. You can not read that shit. People are crazy. It's so easy to say something crazy. The novelty is that Instagram. Book a photo on Instagram and commentary million people, and someone calls you ugly or someone says you suck. It hurts.

Louise Roe To Host NBC’s ‘Fashion Star


British fashion journalist/TV presenter Louise Roe will replace Elle Macpherson as host of Fashion Star during for the NBC reality series’

 upcoming second season. In the U.S., Roe, a fashion editor-at-large for Glamour, hosted the CW’s makeover series Plain Jane, which is in

 its third season on MTV International, and has regular fashion segments on Access Hollywood. She also co-hosted the Royal Wedding for E!,

Louis Vuitton 83 years "IT" Girl


  I'm obsessed by contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama for many reasons, but can summarize a sentence: It's a source of inspiration. Kusama, 83, decided to live in Japan, Seiwa Hospital for the mentally ill for the past 30 years to many questions, and yet created the art that is in demand worldwide. She is best known as an avant-garde, pop-art provider of repetitions and patterns (see video at right) known. But it also shines as an abstract artist, and provides a minimalist perspective, which has been recognized and accepted by the artistic community. It is not only inspiring to me, but it is a testimony that you are and remain successful at any age.

Kusama latest project is a new collaboration with luxury brand Louis Vuitton fashion, including clothes, accessories, windows, iPhone apps, a website and a book contains. No stranger to the industry, the fashion company Kusama, a trademark of the artist began in 1968, sold eccentric clothes and fabrics thanks to New York, even landing a shop in Bloomingdale. It is therefore not surprising that Marc Jacobs, artistic director of Louis Vuitton, Kusama made in 2006 to launch the idea of ??cooperation. The collaboration was an eccentric but beautiful pea line of clothing and accessories. "This is a wonderful thing, as contemporary art, somehow permeates its environment and change," Jacobs said in the video Louis Vuitton website. "And know to appreciate for many people who do not go looking to the art galleries, or ... there is a new place, a new place to do this work, and with the eyes of Louis Vuitton. "

Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama Collection is now available in the fall. Prices start at $ 300 and can be purchased globally in 463 Louis Vuitton stores and online. Although you can find online expensive, perhaps in a more affordable option for viewing a museum Kusama work would be interested to know. Louis Vuitton also promotes the Yayoi Kusama retrospective now at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The six years of his work is on display until the 30th Be September.

15 Glamour Fashion Staffers Pick Their #1 Favorite Looks From New York Fashion Week


One more New York Fashion Week done, and a whole heck of a lot to process—now the real work starts for us! Every season though, everyone

 seems to have an automatic standout favorite look. Here are Glamour staffers' picks!

 My top pick was look #9 at Osklen. I loved everything at Osklen, especially the pointy toe, salmon skin (!!!) flats, but I flipped for the

 photo-real sunset prints. Bonus, there was a lot of exposed nipple at this show. Nasty!
 Executive Fashion Director Anne Christensen chose Altuzarra look #32: "I love the richness of the fabrics, the shape of the jacket, and the

 bright blue pants. They would great as separate pieces too!

 Fashion Editor Rachael Wang loved this Marc Jacobs look: "I can't resist a nod to punk rock. This look is absolutely ladylike in form but

 worn in a such a fresh way that it breaks all those rules. It mirrors the climate of rebellion of the sixties which pushed back against the

 conservatism of the fifties. The contrast is hypnotizing and surprisingly wearable."

 "I loved look 5 at Calvin Klein," said Deputy Fashion Director Sasha Iglehart, "I love the stiff moire fabric. Made for a really structured

 silhouette—so beautiful."

 Accessories Director Gretchen Gunlocke Fenton, and Fashion Market Director Sarah Meikle both chose the same Altuzarra look. "Many times when

 the first look comes out you can tell if the show is going to be a strong one," said Gretchen. "That was the case with Altuzarra's fantastic

 show this season you could feel the energy right away. I love everything about the first look - the railroad stripes of the canvas

 jacket/cape and the incredible boots! I just wish my legs were longer so I could actually wear them this spring."

 Sarah adds, "Altuzarra #1, was one of my fave look of the season. I mean, A CAPE. I also loved the OshKosh stripes (which I wore everyday as

 a child). Its a casual, cool, effortless look but with a menswear, workwear vibe that feels fresh and cool. The amazing gladiator tall boots

 that are everywhere this season are an added bonus. I LOVE Joseph Altazurra."

 Senior Accessories Editor, Maria Dueñas Jacobs, loved this Jason Wu dress: "I love everything about this dress- the fabric, the pattern, the

 cinched waist. I just wish I had a red carpet event to wear it!!"

 Emily Holland, assistant to Anne Christensen, loved this look from Proenza Schouler: "This print is so rich in color. The zig zag button

 detailing allows your eye to move through the entire outfit. I love the high slit of the skirt with the high neck. Keeps the look sexy but

 still sophisticated."

 Senior Online Fashion & Beauty Editor, Megan Gustashaw picked this stripey look from Tommy Hilfiger: "I loved all of the wide stripes in

 Tommy Hilfiger's collection and the slouchy silhouettes too. A double-breasted blazer and boyfriend jeans is officially on my outfits-to-try

 list thanks to this look! So classic and cool."

London Fashion Week: Your Digital Preview


Once again, London Fashion Week is aiming to prove it has just as much muscle in the digital department as its counterpart in New York.

 Innovation kicks off at Topshop. Newly installed chief marketing officer Justin Cooke, formerly vice president of public relations at

 Burberry, has developed an interactive, shoppable livestream experience for its Unique show on Sunday afternoon.

 On Topshop.com, viewers will be able to browse product shots and color options for certain apparel and accessories as they come down the

 catwalk. Viewers can then place orders for delivery in six to eight weeks. Beauty products worn on the catwalk will likewise be available

 for purchase with delivery in 48 hours. And each look will be instantly shareable with Facebook friends thanks to a “shoot the show”

 feature developed in conjunction with Facebook engineers.

 Jonathan Saunders is similarly offering fans the chance to pre-order his collection, this time on social platform Motilo, which allows users

 to shop together through live video and chat.

 Ten of the looks from Saunders’s Spring/Summer 2013 line will be made available immediately following the livestream, which is being hosted

 in a specially-created hub on the Motilo site.

The Beckhams Take Over Fashion Week, Little Harper Is The Breakout Star


Victoria Beckham‘s Spring Summer 2012 show at New York Fashion Week yesterday is a bona fide hit and pulling in rave reviews. She

 actually burst into emotional, but happy tears while taking a bow and backstage! Elle U.K. wrote, “After eight years building a

 small dress collection into an internationally significant brand, Victoria Beckham has a self-confidence that allowed her to move

 the signature aesthetic sharply on. There were flat shoes (conceived with the help of Manolo Blahnik, no less). There were men’s

 shoes! Hell, there [were] even trousers! But most of all, there was a sense of quiet assurance …” Harper’s Bazaar added, “It

 is clear Victoria Beckham understands what a woman wants but with this collection she is sure to gain new admirers.” The Los

 Angeles Times gushed, “A knockout. Beckham’s collection is really evolving, and it’s been impressive to watch her designing

 things that you wouldn’t necessarily imagine her wearing. The brand isn’t just about Beckham anymore, it’s about her customer.

 ”
 She must be over the moon. But even with all the hype surrounding her show, we think that all the fabulous clothes were

 overshadowed by her famous husband, David Beckham, and daughter, Harper Seven. OK, not overshadowed, per se, but you have to admit

 that David looks like magicsauce holding their gorgeous baby girl. The photos above were taking as the family headed to Balthazar

 to have a meal after the show. But the photograph after the jump may be the single most fabulous picture to emerge out of the

Is there a parallel between this situation and try to stay in shape after 50 years?

But of course there is a parallel between this and what we really do - because you get overwhelmed with the stuff. Therefore, priority: At this point I must at this point I need to do to stay hydrated - if you do not think things over 20,000.

What is your education?

I did not, because I travel a lot. I do what I can. This week I'm going I do not usually play more tennis. I'll take a little walk with the dogs, biking, when I go to the gym, it is usually for cardio. I'm not much weight, every time for me to take a few pumps and leg exercises to strengthen my legs. When I play I in Aspen skiing or snowboarding or hockey when I have not done it for a year, because I. In Paris, where I am my friend It's catch as catch can. But the variety is what I recommend: Since variety is the spice of life in the food, it is in the exercise. Change it. But most importantly, do not overdo it. ... You really comfortable, what do you train.

Tell me about your diagnosis of breast cancer in 2010 and how it changes your life.

This reinforced my philosophy that "seize the opportunity" always on and make the best of what I cute now. It makes you to do, of course: you do what you want? Are you where you will be for the rest of your life? It's forced a kind of midlife crisis, I guess. I have not changed anything, because I, where I was and what I liked doing. But it is a shock to the system, and it makes you realize how crapshoot that is all. I went to the supermarket and stock up on all things organic immediately - even if now reports that it is not that much difference. I still buy.

I have it easy compared to most people who are diagnosed, because all I had to do was to radiation - which hit me on my ass, but I was able to play tennis and to work through them. Lumpectomy and was more than a simple surgical procedure and I was fine the next day. What has to happen for me, it is the strength of the women were when I went to get my exposure in Paris, women were so beautiful and force that came from them was very exciting.

What is the most dangerous thing you have done in your life since you were 50?

This TV show called "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here", which included jumping out of a plane - I did not know I was going until five minutes before we did. I would like to know if it possible to ... I loved the free fall. It is frightening, but it's exciting.

And other risky thing that should not be risky - I tried to climb Kilimanjaro for charity and almost died on the mountain. But I did not know I could die if I do not get nervous. I found out later that I could have died, and I was like, "Oh shit." But you do not know that you are in danger, if you are not stressed about it. It is still [an example], how the mind plays on our body. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, the next day I tried to play hockey, and I had to stop - I had no energy. I'm lost, completely exhausted, which shows you how to control your mind, and how much effort you want to use.

What is the best advice you've ever received?

I think it's really hit me the most is Katharine Hepburn, and said, "It is not what you do in life, what you are ready." In the meantime, I'm struggling with to finish a book at the moment. (Laughs) ... I also think that too many people equate money with success and has nothing to do with the other. If you mean a lot of money so you just make a lot of money. It makes you not a better person. Play tennis, I did not win put in my self-esteem or lose games.

So, what do you think of your value?

Just as I am - as I am with others, as I did on the people around me, how different, your value, treat your character.

What social and political causes are you most excited about?

I have. Active in the animal rights and all sorts of things for the environment and children's charities over the years But for now, affects you me much - and is relevant to many people - it gay marriage and gay rights is.

Are you encouraged by the progress that has been made?

Absolutely, it is moving in the right direction, but there are people who try to block this effort. Now that we're so close, it's really something to go, what you do not want to leave. You do not want back.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

I think it transcends sport and affect people outside of the sport in a positive way, whether a country can leave the oppressors, or long before it was a popular thing to do - more than 30 years. So I think a good example.

Warby Parker raises $36.8M to expand fashion eyewear brand

Warby Parker, the hip online eyewear brand, has been one of the hottest stories in the New York startup scene and now it has a big
funding round to go with the acclaim. The company has raised $36.8 million in a Series B round according to a new SEC filing first
noticed by Fortune.
The filing notes that $3.2 million is still left to be sold so the entire round could end up being $40 million. General Catalyst
Partner’s Joel Cutter is apparently taking a lead role in the round and is joining Warby Parker’s board as a director. The
company previously raised a $12 million Series A from Tiger Global and Menlo Ventures’ Talent Fund along with existing investors
First Round Capital, Lerer Ventures and Thrive Capital, who also put in $1.5 million in Warby Parker’s seed round.
The company declined to comment on the money but a source close to the startup said the money will go toward building out Warby
Parker’s footprint as it sells more products, opens more retail locations and expands its marketing efforts. The company has about
100 employees since launching in 2010.
The new funding is a testament to the success Warby Parker has had in in building up a fashion brand. That’s pretty unprecedented
for a company that began online and sells primarily through the mail. Warby Parker excelled with its mix of hip styles, low $95
price point with shipping and its mission to help distribute glasses to needy people for every pair of glasses purchased. The
company has also flourished with its focus on customer service, which includes the ability to try on glasses virtually online or
the ability to get five frames to try out at home with free shipping. That has helped Warby Parker overcome one of the biggest
hurdles for online fashion brands, getting people to feel comfortable about their online purchase.
The company hasn’t put out hard sales figures but it said that in 2011, it gave away more than 100,000 pairs of glasses through
its Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.

new york fashion week models google glass runway

The Google Glass wearable computing project has taken its fair share of insults for being too geeky or dorky. Fashion icon Diane
von Furstenberg rose to the challenge during New York Fashion Week by partnering with Google co-founder Sergey Brin to use the
glasses for a runway show. We have her to thank for answering the question: Can some of the world’s best models make these things
look good?
The models and von Furstenberg herself wore the glasses during the show and the resulting footage will be cut into a film that
scheduled for release later this week.
Fittingly, the designer’s Google+ page has shots from the event:

New York Magazine has an interesting write-up from a fashion perspective. Writer Charlotte Cowles, who was previously unfamiliar
with the Glass project, said:
Brin himself was in attendance and apparently made his way down the catwalk with von Furstenberg at the end of the show.
The tech and fashion worlds don’t often collide, so I can imagine plenty of audience members were perplexed by this “doodad”,
while swaths of tech enthusiasts are now on Wikipedia reading up on von Furstenberg.
Photos like the one above don’t give me much hope for the stylishness of Google Glass, but I am very interested to see how the
film turns out. It could revolutionize the way documentaries are made. Though, the revolution probably wouldn’t come cheap, since
the developer costs $1,500 a pair.
The DVF show is bound to generate a fair amount of buzz for the project, but it all seems a bit premature. Google has promised to
get developer pre-orders out in early 2013, and the consumer version is expected to arrive in 2014.

Reminder: Jezebel’s Third Annual Fashion Swap Meet is Thursday

Jezebel's Third Annual Fashion Swap Meet
When: Thursday, September 13, 6-8pm. The drinks are on us from 6-7pm.
Where: Randolph Beer, 343 Broome Street (between Bowery and Elizabeth)
How it works: Open your closet. Look in your closet. Reach into your closet and remove the crap that's been gathering dust, and
bring it to the bar on Thursday. Swap it for something new-to-you. Boom.
Just trade in one wearable item — clothes, shoes, accessories — and you've gained entry, free to rummage with reckless abandon
and take whatever you can carry. The more stuff you bring, the more rummaging for everyone (and we mean everyone: all shapes and
sizes, and you too, guys — all it takes is for two for a gentlemen's trade). By the end of the night, everyone wins: Your wallet,
your closet, the environment.
No RSVP necessary, but this is a first-come, first-serve sort of party. So we encourage you to arrive early; there's no such thing
as "fashionably late" when it comes to free stuff.

All proceeds and leftover items will be given to Housing Works, our Nolita neighbors who are committed to fighting the AIDS and
homelessness crises. You can also shop their annual Best Of sale, or go here to donate to Housing Works.
Not in NYC? Gah. But maybe try finding a clothes swap in your area — or at least recycle something on that day, and be there with
us in spirit.

The 12 Best New York Fashion Week Invites

We recycle. We reuse. Hell, we've even composted. Mother Nature lovers though we are (one caveat: We don't have that annoying disclaimer at the end of our signature), sometimes nothing beats the thrill of opening a thick envelope to find a card that's more keepsake, less a piece of paper. And, when it comes to New York Fashion Week — those seven days that make our mailman's biceps bigger —we've never loved the postal service more. This season, invites crossed our desk in all shapes and sizes (and not all made from pulp), from a plane ticket to a pink toothbrush to a poster-sized fold-out that's already at the framer. The designers who put a stamp on a Xerox with some Arial font, however? We'd prefer an email
