Observing the Queen in Her Natural Habitat

I had the most fortunate opportunity of attending a few shows this season.

Marc by Marc: Watched Fergie sit uncomfortably with her huge-ass sunglasses on throughout the entirety of her attendance. Rachel Zoe was photographed and interviewed NON-STOP. Carine Roitfeld of French Vogue was there as well. The Brit-pop 80's punk-rock inspired clothes were hot as hell and will undoubtedly be a success when they hit stores this Fall. I'm definitely getting myself a pair of the patent leather strap buckle boots.

Zac Posen: Saw Miss Jay sit third row incognito, then chatting it up with Andre Leon-Talley after the show. Karen Elson fall, or sit, gracefully and perfectly into her white layered chiffon finale dress, into the center of the runway, thanks to Zac's choice of impossible platform heals, then P. Diddy (investor) and Caroline Trentini (model) help her up. Anna Wintour walked past me in a fur collar waist-jacket and magenta water-treated taffeta dress, then SPRINT out, with her new man toy running after her, once the lights came back on. Rachel Zoe again, Carine Roitfeld again. All the hottest models of the season walked the show. The clothes, though, resembled the fashion of the 18th and 19th Century too closely, therefore making most of them seem too costume-y.

Finally, went to Marc Jacobs Collection (last show of Fashion Week) and boy did he and KCD Worldwide put on a show. The Armory was filled with over 1300 people. Every seat had a Sonic Youth Marc Jacobs beach bag containing a t-shirt. Champagne, popcorn, M&M's, nuts and Fiji Water were served by cute boys in Sonic Youth tees. The runway was in stage-format, with the band's instruments and amps set up. Stacey and I walked into the Armory behind Selma Blair in her insane rhinestone dress. Shortly after, Anna Wintour walked in sporting a fur coat on top of a red and navy plaid taffeta short-sleeved sheath dress. Andre Leon-Talley arrived after her (of course) in a suit and beanie hat. M.I.A. (!) also attended, sat front row next to Ellen Pompeo, Gretchen Mol, Robert Duffy and Victoria Beckham (!!!!!!), who was the heartthrob of the press (duh). K. Fed was directly across the stage seated front-row, though I'm not sure why. Marc himself walked out twice around stage and motioned for the show to start (he actually started only 20 minutes late this season). The performance by Sonic Youth was great. The models walked onto a scaffold above the stage and waited for the end of the show. The clothes. Well you should read the professional opinions tomorrow morning. The best part was the Rachel Zoe was denied entrance to the show and threw a tantrum at the bouncers! So does that make me like, kind of her superior?

I only got to take pics at the Marc Collection show:
