France may well be the world's fashion capital, but when it comes to suiting up pooches, America does it best. At least so says young French designer Celine Boulud, who is bringing a canine enterprise from the United States to France. "Canine fashion is all the rage in New York," she said in an interview. "There are boutiques for dogs on every street corner, and almost all the dogs...

If I were to pick one collection from this Fashion Week that best represents Fab, it would be Peter Som. Seriously, I didn't want to leave this presentation; alas, I had to go to Marchesa . . . life is rough. Som has clearly moved past his turbulent Bill Blass past , fully opening his heart to his namesake. Som's Spring collection made me feel like a kid in a candy store. It was fresh, colorful, funky,...

Photo by Jennifer Altman, The New York Times Another collection I am looking forward to this season is by Prabal Gurung. Sure, he's one of the "It" designers this season, but I can really get behind a guy who is inspired to make "clothes for the thinking man's sex symbol" and uses novelists Arundati Roy and Zadie Smith as examples. Formerly the designer for Bill Blass, which closed...

In January just weeks before Fashion Week, Peter Som canceled his fall 2009 runway show. His label had abruptly split from its financial backers, Creative Design Studios, a division of Lord & Taylor LLC. They had been financing Som, whose runway shows in the tents drew the likes of Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley, for less than a year and a half. The breakup was anything but a happy...

Elettra Weidemann's landed a new campaign for fall. Isabella Rossellini's daughter has posed for Abercrombie & Fitch, Bill Blass, Samsonite, Lancôme, Hogan and now, adding to what might be the most scattered modeling portfolio ever, she's the face of G-Star Raw's AW09 collection. She'll star in their print ads through December; they chose her since she represents "hardcore luxury."...

De la fabulous. I was for real when I said I was heading to Lake Tahoe for Oscar de la Renta's annual fashion show luncheon. Along with Saks Fifth Avenue , and held at the gorgeous Fritz family estate in Sunnyside, the event was like no other. If you've never been to the outdoor haven that is Tahoe and are wondering how Oscar de la Renta's elegant clothes would work, the designer himself wasn't sure...

But though almost two months ago Peacock heads promised to make a decision on a new creative director within a month, the...
