Chloé for Children

It's official, Chloé now has a line for the most stylish of nuggets. The French fashion house debuted their first children's line in 2010. They sell their wares through the design house itself and at Bergdorf Goodman's uber chic bebe department (also housing the likes of Armani and Little Marc Jacobs). You can expect nothing short of the same well-constructed, couture simplicity that the fashion house's artistic director Hannah MacGibbon whips up on the regular. It's really comforting to know that four year olds in Upper-East side Montessori schools will be wearing designs from Chloé before I can even afford to buy one glove.

NYFW Street Style Snaps!

Every fashion week, there is more to look forward to than just the shows inside the tents. Fashion industry insiders put on an amazing show as they hit the streets as well, and this past week New York City did not disappoint. So if some of the catwalk trends have left you a little bewildered and confused with their crazy factor (you will love them in six months!), you can look just outside the tents to see fashion in real life action. Here are some of the best street style shots from around the web! More photos behind the jump, click link below.

The Dark Side of the Modeling Industry

It was one of those afternoons when there was nothing else to do but desperately scour Netflix for a streaming movie that wasn’t made in 1993 or released straight to DVD. It was then that I stumbled upon Picture Me, a documentary about model Sara Ziff living in “the glamour and the darker side of the high fashion industry,” or so the description said. A movie about the “darker side” of a successful and beautiful model’s life? I swear I heard my brain scoff a little bit. Sure, models suffer from getting their hair pulled by stylists or having to eat a salad instead of a burrito, but could it be that bad? I love fashion. I love models (despite my obvious envy of them). I can only watch so much old Dexter episodes and I refuse to watch Anaconda 2; so I watched it.

The documentary, directed by her then-boyfriend Ole Schell, spans five years of Ziff’s career. About five minutes in, she excitingly opens a check for $80,000 from one of her modeling jobs, at 19 years-old. Walking the streets of Manhattan, Ziff sees herself on a giant billboard next to, wait for it, an even bigger billboard with herself in it. I was about to turn the TV off when the movie took a turn. One after another issues come up from various interviews of people in the industry: sexual harassment at 15, debilitating exhaustion, drugs, and being deemed “too old” at 25. This isn’t a documentary about a model whining, it’s a movie about serious issues that real people (most of whom underage when they start and who just happen to be good-looking) have to face. With cameos of Karl Lagerfeld and Natalia Vodianova, this movie is a must-see for anyone whoever thought that modeling was just about putting one foot in front of the other.

The Coveteur Goes into the Closet You Wish You Had

Ever wonder how your closet would look if you were an industry style darling or a big-time fashion editor? The Coveteur gives us a peek into the fashion elite’s personal collections that make them influential players in the field. The site contains great photography and commentaries in the words of the tastemakers themselves, ranging from their shopping habits to an item’s sentimental value.

If the Selby and the Sartorialist had a lovechild, the Coveteur would definitely be it, kind of like the Georgia May Jagger of fashion websites. So far, they’ve nabbed Flare Magazine’s Fiona Green and Dior Beauty Ambassador and House DJ Harley Viera Newton. And it doesn’t stop there-- in the next few weeks keep your eyes peeled for designers Yigal Azrouel and Thakoon's closets, which should make any fashion die-hard’s heart skip a beat.

Stepping Out With Our Toes Out!

Every time I look at this Calvil Klein ad, I become very excited and... anxious! I cannot wait until I will be able to wear heels such as these! All those on the West Coast may be able to wear sandals any time they want, but this is definitely not the case in the MidWest! Last week, we had unbearably freezing days, and today, the temperature was up to 51 degrees! Soon, we will be able to wear footwear we can expose toe cleavage with! So exciting!
