NYFW diary: Rear-view zips at Jeremy Laing, DKNY’s super slick leather, bright bright brights at Thakoon, and Hilfiger does Hermès
One of the looks at Thakoon, photography by Peter Stigter The constant rushing between back-to-back shows (and shows, and shows, and shows) can make fashion week feel like somewhat of a big blurry journey. Uptown, then downtown, then—where are we again? Amidst that kind of chaos, it’s nice to switch it up with a few friendly faces, which was the scene at Jeremy Laing’s show yesterday morning. Everyone from photographers Tommy Ton and Jason Hudson, to writers Amy Verner and Sarah Nicole Prickett, to cool kids Eva Michon and Matt Jackson turned out to root for one of the strongest home-team players. Cue his splendidly architectural collection, with its attention to the backside (rear-view zips, backwards button-downs, and capes) and its awesomely fresh denim velvet abstract print interspersed throughout the collection, and you’ve got one helluva brunch replacement (to thankfully be followed by one actual brunch).

Fashion news: London looters, Erin Fetherston goes to Juicy Couture and Kelly Cutrone Takes to YouTube
Baptiste Giabiconi and Lara Stone fake rob a Chanel boutique. Kell on Earth hasn’t even hit Canada yet, but we’ll be lucky to get the first season, because plans for a second seem to be lagging. Kelly Cutrone, clearly not waiting around, has instead set up a YouTube channel, KellyCutroneTV, where you can get “daily missives” from the People’s Revolution team. [Styleite] Read our interview with Kelly Cutrone.
There has been a string of burglaries hitting London’s high end shops, and last night Chanel was the target (clearly the burglers have good taste). Over the past two years other retail stores including Dolce & Gabbana, Harvey Nichols, Anya Hindmarch and Salvatore Ferragamo have been robbed, but police haven’t confirmed yet if it’s the same high-end hitters that keep looting the shops.

Fashion news: Lacroix’s (possibly) last stand, A-Dubs is AWOL and Bottega loves the papers
The Wall Street Journal‘s Ray Smith looks…amused as he talks to la crème de Williamsburg boys about their skinny jeans. [WSJ]Could this be Christian Lacroix’s last couture show? Better look now, before it’s gone. [The Cut]
Anna Wintour appears to be giving couture week a miss–she was absent from yesterday’s Dior showing. [Fashion Week Daily]
Repetto’s Jackson jazz shoe is dancing off shelves of their Paris store. A touch less obvious than a single-white-glove style tribute. [Style File]
