- Carine Roitfeld totally didn’t get the whole money-raising, democratic part of Fashion’s Night Out. “Unlike the wildly successful New York event, which was open to the public, the Paris version of the shopping block party, held on the famed Avenue Montaigne and overseen by Roitfeld, turned out to be an invitation-only affair. When one stylish couple decided to spend some big euros at the event, they were turned away from every boutique and told they needed to be on the list or a VIP to enter. ‘So much for our Fashion Night Out,’ said one of the pair.” [NYPost]
- Snooki‘s hair has grown up: “I want to look more mature. The pouf – I’ve been wearing it since I was 16, so why not switch it up?” says the woman who we thought had a better nose for branding! [People via The Cut]
- Oh, dear! “For whatever reason, Rebecca Minkoff‘s models we’re dropping like flies half way through the hour-long presentation. Every few minutes, a model would step down from the platform and go backstage and sometimes be replaced by another model. They were all sweating and looked absolutely exhausted and miserable. A woman spent the entire presentation handing thirsty-looking girls cups of Fiji water.” [Fashionista]

He had people queueing around the corner to have his autograph or take a picture of him…People asked if I could take their picture with him.” [NY Post]
- Alexa Chung may — or may not — reprise her super-hot Madewell line. “It depends on a lot of factors, mainly how busy I am, because I like to be really involved in the design process. So if I’m not around then it can’t happen, and obviously if they don’t want it then it’s not going to happen either,” she says unhelpfully. [ONTD]

- Robert Verdi‘s closet is modest, by Mariah Carey standards. “I’d guess there are about 200 shirts, 120 pairs of trousers, 40 or so tuxedos, at least 2,000 jackets and coats-maybe just under. It’s also divided and sub-divided: summer on one side, fall on the other. Short-sleeved T-shirts, long-sleeved T-shirts, long-sleeved T-shirts with patterns. There’s a science!” [DailyFrontRow]
