Cynthia Rowley is coming in loud and clear thanks to all the volume in her fall 2012 collection. Inspired by mechanics and overalls, Rowley offered up a ladylike take on blue collar dressing with many a sack, a billowy coat and an occasional jumpsuit parading down the runway.

Harper’s Bazaar has had some serious work done and she is looking good. Glenda Bailey is determined that nobody put her baby in the corner and has revealed a new look for the magazine beginning with the March issue. Harper’s is now one inch larger with thicker paper, new typograhy and features — and who better to launch the makeover than Bailey’s favorite cover girl, Gwyneth Paltrow? Photographed by Terry Richardson, the striking subscriber cover features Gwyneth with her face obscured by her flowing golden locks while giving body and leg for days in a revealing dress by relatively unknown designer Anthony Vaccarello.

Designers. Start your collections. Now. I’ll be back in exactly 24 hours, and it had better be good and done. That, my dear, is the premise of Lifetime‘s newest competitive fashion show, 24 Hour Catwalk, hosted by our dear Alexa Chung. In each episode, four designers will create a garment, and two will be eliminated. The two remaining designers will then each create a three-piece collection with the aid of professional and mouthy sewers. At the end of those 24 hours, they present to the judges: design star and collab-addict Cynthia Rowley, PR guru James LaForce (sans Stevens) and the Very Classy fashion editor Derek Blasberg. It premieres Januray 10, 2012. See the sneak preview here.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, daughter of multi-tasking maverick Carine Roitfeld, has announced that she’s pregnant. Well, she hasn’t announced it so much as Derek Blasberg has blabbed all over Twitter about it, but six of one, half dozen of the other.

For Imitation of Christ‘s spring 2012 collection, Tara Subkoff heard wedding bells. A procession complete with a flower girl, bridesmaids, groomsmen — all attired in Doyle Mueser — and officiated by Father Andrew O’Connor lit up the W Hotel‘s Great Room this afternoon. When models Miles and Lydia exchanged their vows, the wedding party threw their bouquets in the air to a roomful of applause. It was partly for the happy young couple but also for a thoroughly pretty collection heavy on bugle beads, sheer fabrics and flowery embellishments. Mazel to the kids!

Online super retailer Net-a-Porter asked a panel of industry experts, including Paper Magazine‘s Mickey Boardman, gal about town and Harper’s Bazaar Editor-at-Large Derek Blasberg and Bloglovin’ founder Mattias Swenson to select their top ten favorite blogs. If FashionIndie hadn’t done enough coke at 54 to powder the nose of every actress in Hollywood ten times over thus rendering all emotions dead below the larynx, our feelings would be super hurt right now. Check out the list below, if you care to (you shouldn’t).
