Thanks For Nothing
Jeremy Scott, designer of the "Chrysler Building" dress and other similarly unwearable pieces, did not disappoint on Friday when he showed clothes that, once again, absolutely no one would ever buy.

Icon of the Day:
Patricia Field looking like the Queen of Cool with her aubergine hair, logo bandanna, and some rockstar patchwork-esque pants that could kick your ass. Dude, she's like, 60.

Atrocity of the Day:
Meek-looking girl coming into the fashion shows wearing head-to-toe rainbow crushed velvet. The Tipping Point: an uncombed Rapunzel-esque braid trailing down her back. Somebody stop her before she gets trampled by a thousand stilettos.

Oscar De La Renta, Bryant Park, 2pm
Here on Planet Zoolander, the Fashionati are arriving like herds of fabulous Gucci-swaddled cattle. Seen in and around the tents:
-The Donald with his brunette mistress, Melanie Something-Something, who looks smugger than any girl should when her date's hair is so bad. It's like taupe whipped cream, sprayed on artfully in the limo, no doubt.
-Hal Rubenstein, dressed as a Prada pirate in all black save for a large gold earring. Say "Arrrrggg" for the camera, Hal.
-Leon Hall, looking mighty B-I-T-C-H-Y for a leprechaun. That Louis Vuitton man-purse he's toting should make anyone smile.
-Speaking of merses, first prize for bags goes to Andre Leon Talley, who is carrying a bearskin rug turned Dior duffel bag. Magnifique.

Gang Warfare
It's getting ugly here at FashionWeek. The Style Wars begin outside the tents, with Team US Weekly battling Team Star over who can bombard pedestrians with the most Fashion Week Special Editions. The Army of Bonnie came dressed in pink trenchcoats and black fedoras, spanking Janice Min's minions in US Weekly emblazoned Hanes T-shirts. Guess that new glossy cover is causing cutbacks at Wenner Media. Whoever would have thought Star was the most stylish girl on the block?

About MegaStyles

Meghan Stier was a New York fashion editor until she moved to Cambridge, MA and decided to become a doctor. She, along with her new Birkenstock fetish, is working on her post-baccalaureate and has cancelled her Vogue subscription, although she still watches E! sometimes a lot.

She thinks Shakespearean characters make great names for pets, dislikes mesh Chinese slippers, and would like to make homemade mayonnaise one day but wonders if mayonnaise merits such effort.
