I had every intention of interviewing supermodel Karolina Kurkova yesterday at Lincoln Center’s Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge. And interview her, I did. But not before the Czech-born beauty could quiz me rapid-fire-style with questions first.

Ex-Editrix-in-Chief of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld took off the kid gloves and addressed the rumors surrounding her abrupt exit from Vogue, her relationship with Tom Ford, the Balenciaga controversy and the cold war between her and incoming replacement, Emmanuelle Alt. The self-proclaimed “Queen of Porno Chic” strips down.

What do Helena Christensen and rimless eyewear have in common? They’re both smokin’ hot! Yesterday Fashion Indie was on hand for a lunch hosted by the lovely people of Silhouette Eyewear.

Gracing the pages of Vogue Magazine, being photographed by Terry Richardson, working with greats like Karl Lagerfeld him self and rocking Chanel like no other model in the world are just normal days for model Crystal Renn. And yet she stands humble and beautiful, let’s just say there’s a lot more to Miss Renn than the scandal of her weight loss after holding the title of the world’s most famous plus size model.

Designers Gabrielle Thompson and Shannon Gunn believe shoes should be wearable art. Their shared passion for luxury materials and strong, structured silhouettes led to the launch of their Australian footwear label tom gunn. Described as “sophisticated with an edge,” tom gunn shoes are constructed with materials from the top Italian tanneries and suppliers and have been used by the likes of Prada, Marni, CoSTUME NATIONAL and Gucci. I got a chance to to ask Thompson and Gunn about how they got started, where they find inspiration and how their label has become a shoe industry stand-out.

Katherine Heath was like many girls her age as a child. She loved to string beads and make friendship bracelets for family and friends. But her real design career started after her mother gave her bags full of vintage buttons that once belonged to her great-grandmother. From there, Kates Design was born. One-of-a-kind bracelets and earrings created from these vintage fastenings remind of a time when the detail of beautiful buttons was an everyday part of getting dressed. I sat down with Katherine to chat about her business, design process and what’s to come in her world of charming button accessories.

Though Heatherette is all but ancient history, Richie Rich is still a glam club kid at heart. Amidst a sea of models – bones and high ponytails from wall to ceiling – I met up with the designer and his design director Angelo Lambrou during a casting call for Richie’s runway show. This will be his second collection for his eponymous label and will be held at the Hammerstein Ballroom on February 10th at 9 pm. Proceeds will go to benefit two causes very close to Richie’s sequined heart: DoSomething.org and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. We discussed Richie’s fabulous inspirations, his fabulous friends and the first time he met Madonna. Which was, you guessed it, fabulous.
