Michael Kors Used to Wear Cashmere Leg Warmers

Designers and editors were nostalgic last night at the Museum at FIT’s opening of “Impact,” an exhibition of clothing by CFDA designers from the last 50 years. There was a lot to reminisce about: a circa-1981 Ralph Lauren Navajo blanket coat, nineties-era shiny minimalist Calvin Klein, a printed grunge dress by Marc Jacobs. A more recent Michael Kors look from Spring 2011 was totally tasteful — crystal-beaded pajama pants with a cashmere sweatshirt (just for laying around) — so when we saw the designer, we asked whether he had any regrettable fashion memories.

“Leg warmers,” he said. “I wore leg warmers. I wore leg warmers when I went to FIT and I shouldn’t have.” What were they made of? “Oh, I think they were cashmere, of course! Oatmeal! Oatmeal, with a Fiorucci jean.”

Essex Girls do it Better!

From dailymail.co.uk

She was seen breaking down in tears on Wednesday's episode of TOWIE after discovering that her boyfriend Mario had been exchanging sexy emails with  'at least 40' other women.
But nothing keeps Lucy Mecklenburgh's spirits down for long.
The 20-year-old was clearly keen to draw attention as she stepped out to film scenes for the show alongside castmate Billi Mucklow in Essex wearing a bright red fur cloak and hat.

Billi was likewise dressed for the cold in a fur-trimmed pale tan cloak, with both girls wearing jeans and black boots.
