Based on the popular social media handle @choupettesdiary bringing to life the persona of Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette, here’s the 411 on New York Fashion Week straight from the cat’s mouth. 
I attended NYFW this week incognito so I didn’t show any of the other street style stars up. During my trek across New York – and by trek I mean in a private car – I was privy to a few awe-inspiring shows. That is, “awe-inspiring” for New York; we aren’t talking Paris or London here.
Like the headline reads, Tommy Hilfiger is partnering with one of our favorite it girls, with English model, blogger, dj, and author Alexa Chung this Fall! Stepping into the role of guest editor, Chung will select must-have pieces from the Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2014 collection available at select stores in Europe and online at tommy.com/alexachung. To compliment her selected looks are Chung’s styling tips and essentials along with exclusive images from her shoot at NYC’s Milk Studios. The program launched on october 7th with the guest editor’s “Shake Up Your Wardrobe” feature. The reveal of Alexa Chung’s choice pieces will take place every month through January 2015 on tommy.com and at select stores in Europe.
Last night, at the newly reopened Marquee (remember Marquee!) hosted the celebration of HSN Digital Redesign. The mega multichannel retailer announced last week that is was completely relaunching the brands digital channels to create a faster, more efficient and even more social experience. And not just to their website, HSN.com! Having been in development for more then a year, the developments strive to enhance the customers experience across all mobile devices, including tables, android and Windows too.

They did a great job on the party! Alexandra Richards (yes, Keith Richards daughter), DJed the event some of our favorite actors, designers and HSN personalities were there including Martha Stewart, Tommy Hilfiger, Kelly Rutherford,
I don’t know about you, but last night I was glued to instagram, checking out designer’s feeds from the CFDA awards and awwing over all of their amazing outfits! Disregarding the Met Ball from the running, the CFDA awards is the Oscars of fashion; so it’s really a red carpet ringer for designers and guests alike to bring it considering they’re entering a room of some of the most creative and iconic minds of the industry… ahhh! One day I’ll make it inside.
The award ceremony was held at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center and hosted by Seth Meyers. The award celebrates the best of American fashion and while it’s an honor to be nominate (no really, it is!), to win is some serious designer credit.
And without further adieu… Envelope please. And the winners are:
Womenswear Designer of the Year Award: Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen for the Row
Menswear Designer of the Year Award: Billy Reid
Accessory Designer of the Year Award: Reed Krakoff
Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent in Womenswear: Joseph Altuzarra
Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent in Menswear: Phillip Lim
Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent in Accessory Design: Tabitha Simmons
The Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award: Tommy Hilfiger
The Media Award, in honor of Eugenia Sheppard: Scott Schuman and Garance Doré
The Fashion Icon Award: Johnny Depp
The Founders Award, given in honor of Eleanor Lambert: Andrew Rosen
The International Award: Rei Kawakubo
For anyone not familiar with the CFDA, they are the Council of Fashion Designers of America, a non-profit trade organization for North-American designers of fashion and fashion accessories. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the CFDA.
Congratulations to all of the winners!
