+ Refinery 29 enumerates Fashion Week's top shows by indie designers. Who'd they pick?
Jeremy Laing, VPL, Yigal Azrouel, Karen Walker (tee!) and Alexander Wang. I am f'real feeling those last two.
+ What aspires to be the MySpace of the fashion world is about to launch. Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano are on board with IQUONS, a new social network. But you probably already knew that and/or blogged about it.
+ Payless is getting less morts.
+ iRepresentFashion.com just launched tooooo. It's an all-indie online-only show that showcases emerging fashion and accessory designers, "teamed with" Amazon. I'm not like DYING over a lot of the stuff I've seen, but it's something to keep an eye on, fershersies. Here are a few cuters:
($100, Kahri)
($40, Circa Sixty-Three)
($170, Laura Dawson)
