If you followed my posts during Fashion Week you know that when Vickie attended the Marc Jacobs show she brazenly wore a dress from her new collection and not one from the designers’ line. Well it’s all business. I’m sure he understands and they’re still friends. Unlike her DVB label of jeans and sunglasses, Vickie is solo on this line of dresses called well, Victoria Beckham.

“It’s for women who want to look sophisticated,” Vickie told me backstage after the show. “It’s exactly how women want to dress today.”And giving some stylist notes she added, “You just need a good handbag and a great pair of shoes.”

She herself looked very Jean Seberg and sophisticated in a navy strapless dress and her new short ‘do.

“I wanted to do something different, I like change,” she said explaining why she let hairsylist Garren chop, chop.

“I just told him to chop it all off.” Personally, I think she probably got tired of all the wannabe Victorias running around. At first it must have been hugely gratifying then 10 starlets later and it starts to get a bit tedious don’t you think?

Our very own Constance White was voted one of the most powerful figures in fashion by the New York Daily News. Constance is in the top 10 and is surrounded by stellar company like: Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, designer extraordinaire(s) Marc Jacobs and Diane von Furstenberg, NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg, supermodel Gisele, Senior VP of Fashion at IMG, Fern Mallis, and many, many more. We are SO proud..we’re beaming! Cheers to Constance!

“We were ready and the audience was not…”

He might have been talking about his stellar collection but he was really noting that he was ready to start at 9pm sharp, but the tardy audience didn’t get seated until 9:15. OUCH!

“I loved it!” Jennifer Lopez said of the Marc Jacobs Collection, “the fit, the colors, it was beautiful! And there’s a green leather skirt I have my eye on.”

JLo and VB were seat mates, but Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice was not, we repeat, NOT wearing Marc Jacobs. Instead the budding designer wore a dress of her own design, a preview of her coming Victoria Beckham collection.

“I loved that they use Gershwin and composers like that” said Winona Ryder in a black satin dress by Marc Jacobs, of course. Some of her favorites included, toga-style dresses and the blue and white striped looks.

Just got back eight hours ago from what some like to call fashion’s Oscar night. It’s the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s annual awards gala in New York. Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Mandy Moore, Tina Fey, Diane Von Furstenberg, Harvey Weinstein, Kim Cattrall, Candace Bushnell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, LL Cool J and Sean “P.Diddy” Combs.

No one wanted to leave cocktails and go inside for the awards so the evening ran late. Awards ceremonies are boring really, unless you or your child is getting one. And at this one, people were more interested in having fun outdoors in the balmy weather, star gazing, chatting with colleagues, sipping champagne and catching up with old pals.

At dinner later, Ashley Olsen and Eva Mendes hung out to talk some more and Ashley took a smoke outside.

Eva screamed when she heard Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein had won Women’s Wear Designer of the Year, but I’m with Victoria Beckham. She wasn’t pleased with the outburst or the award and didn’t mind showing it. She looked shell-shocked.
