Model Jourdan Dunn sat front-row at the Topshop Unique and Issa shows this week in London. This is the first time we’ve spotted her anywhere close to a catwalk this season, as the 19-year-old took a break from the runways because she is six months pregnant. And what has she been doing in her downtime? “I’ve been watching a lot of daytime telly and eating a lot!” We can relate to her now more than ever before.

“125th ANNIVERSARY METROPOLITAN OPERA”

Starring:  The longest ”green” carpet besides a heavily glammed MARY KATE OLSEN, a subdued KANYE WEST arriving with only one other person of interest besides glamazon AMBER, YSL’S STEFANO PILATI with former heart-stopper model CLAUDIA SCHIFFER and a curiously abbey monk inspired clad Indie actress PARKER POSEY, the 125th anniversary of the METROPOLITAN OPERA’s event was held at LINCOLN CENTER.

Scanning the outfits there was nary a sexy OLIVIER THEYSKENS, a luxurious OSCAR DE LA RENTA nor a flamboyant ALEXANDER McQUEEN.  We were, however, graced with a myriad of beautiful, elegant but conservative YSL’S… as it should be!

While Tony Basil blared on the sound system Jeremy Scott re imagined Mickey Mouse chic. Scott’s show was inspired by The Magic Kingdom’s most iconic star.  Bright cartoon colors and plastic accessories gave new life to the classic black dress and what we might call a typical sneaker.

The Andy Warhol for the NOW Generation Jeremy fired the imagination which was a marked improvement from last season’s collection which conversely left little to the imagination. But Scott’s back on track and left everyone with the desire to hit the Streets in living color chic.

While some stores are closing and thinking of ways to scale back, Armani was opening a beautiful and massive new store on Fifth Ave. The Armani store opening was such a high point during Fashion Week. How much of a high point was it? Well VIctoria Beckham showed up coat less and dressed only in a sequined silver mini dress ready to survey the exclusive new store. Everyone from John Mayer to Leo Dicaprio came out to toast the fashion legend.

Peta was also in full force and a testament to the fact that fashion extravagance at this level is clearly a threat to more moderate perspectives.
