All hail McQueen: Last night’s dressed up tributes to the enfant terrible
While the Met’s Savage Beauty exhibit is filled with breathtaking pieces from the late Alexander McQueen, there’s nothing like seeing his creations in motion. While we’d certainly all know this to be true, there was a surprising lack of his dresses on the red carpet, save for a few winning entrances by Sarah Jessica Parker, Karen Elson, Gisele Bündchen and Vogue‘s Hamish Bowles. The inimitable Daphne Guinness didn’t disappoint either, not only dressing in one of the designer’s most fantastical creations, but also giving onlookers a chance to peep her very own collection as she got dressed in Barneys New York‘s store windows. Here, we give you our favourite tribs from last night’s ode to the late and great McQueen.

The chronicles of John Galliano and the quickest pardon in fashion history
As is the case with virtually any news story these days, the developments in the John Galliano story⎯the designer being accused of hurling anti-Semitic insults at an (incidentally non-Jewish) couple while drinking at the Paris café, Le Perle⎯can be measured in tweets, quotes and snippets. Given the proliferated speed at which these bits are published and publicized, it’s amazing to witness how quickly the industry’s reaction has gone from appalled to forgiving to looking forward to the designer’s imminent replacement at Dior. Given the industry’s propensity for forgetfulness⎯history has made fools of those who once condemned Coco Chanel for her involvement with the Nazis or Kate Moss for being caught with cocaine⎯we have no doubt that Galliano will be back at the top in no time. All references to the frankly horrifying severity of his remarks will vanish and whereas Chanel’s and Moss’s actions took years to do the same, Galliano’s have almost done so in a matter of 14 days. Meanwhile, as rumours swirl for a possible replacement by Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz and Marc Jacobs, we take a look back at the quickest judgment turnarounds in fashion history.

PFW diary: Marc Jacobs goes naughty for Louis Vuitton with Naomi and Kate in tow
Fall is looking really bleak. At least in terms of the palette. Burgundy, bottle green, smokey grey and petrol blue have dominated the runways here at the Paris shows, which end today. This morning at Louis Vuitton we were literally met with leathery black balloons hovering above the Carrousel du Louvre ⎯quite a contrast to some of the acid yellow python and orange patent handbags in the crowd.

The British Fashion Awards were handed out last night at the Savoy in London. (Check out the winners here.)

Standouts were Alexa Chung, who paired prim Chanel with a biker jacket, and Lara Stone doing her best Diane Kruger in a minimalist Calvin Klein sheath.
