FASHION Magazine

Now that the “I’m a mouse, duh” Halloween tactic has gotten a little old, Target has raked in costume master Simon Doonan, creative director at Barneys New York to design a line of costumes. Doonan, whose birthday falls on Halloween, says he’s a natural fit for the gig, “The holiday is huge and it’s growing. That’s why [Target] yodeled in yours truly.”

Packed about 3 days worth of shows and re-sees into today so forgive me if I’m a bit loopy! One thing’s for sure– jet lag is a luxury I can’t afford to indulge in, but my bed is calling me so here are just  a few morsels before I call it a day:

Cranky buyers and editors are  complaining bitterly  about the (even) shorter Milan schedule–its actually nuts, even for a fashion crazed high-energy type-A like me!

From early-morning dominatrixes at Dsquared, all the way through to futuristic tartans at  Jil Sander tonight,  it was run run run. I think next season I’ll need a chopper.

Another Fashion Week finito! Here’s how my fashion math adds up:

21 fashion shows
