Mad Fashion Finale Tuesday, 12/6 @ 10/9c: Chris ends the season with one of his biggest projects yet, designing an outfit for the Met Ball. Working with swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen to create a Black Swan-inspired look, March doesn’t know whether he should be more worried about Chrissy’s reaction to the outfit or her boyfriend’s, John Legend. Looking to strike that perfect balance between sexy, unique and fashionable, Chris thinks he’s pleased everyone, until he receives a late-night call that might force him back into the office for an early-morning alternation. With mere hours until the event, will Chrissy be pleased with her work of art or will Chris have wasted his chance at creating a fashion masterpiece?

Fashion Hunters Finale Pt. 1, Tuesday 12/6 @ 10:30/9:30c: Ambria and Karina are in for a big treat when they get to visit the closet of New York Housewife Kelly Bensimon. As if the wall of designer hand bags isn’t enough, Ambria nearly faints when she sees the size of Kelly’s closet. While Ambria may be slightly over-excited about the potential garments Kelly is going to give them, Karina has learned to tone down her excitement when it comes to consigning. She has run into some problems in the past with over-valuing items that she loves, so this week, when a unique Eric de Kolb clutch comes through the doors, she is sure to be extra cautious.

And don’t miss Fashion Hunters Finale Pt. 2 at 11:00/10:00c!

I woke up in a pile of drool as I felt the plane touch down in Milan this morning. We arrived tired from a whirlwind 2 days in London filming my new commercials for Astor Cosmetics with my favorite photographer, Rankin! I perked up as soon as I knew it was only a short time until I got to visit one of my favorite stores, attend the always fabulous Versace show and end the night wearing a fabulous gown designed by one of my dear friends.

1pm – Stopped by the Duomo for a little sightseeing.

3pm – When you are in Milan you have to stop by one of my favorite stores, 10 Corso Como. They are known for having the best fashion! They buy things from designers that no one else does!

7pm – Quick stop backstage to see Donatella before the Versace show. Look at her dress! She is as fabulous as ever.

8pm – What a beautiful show. I wanted everything!

10pm – Arrived at the amfAR event wearing a gray strapless dress with a full skirt from Cavalli. I ran into Nina Garcia, Bar Refaeli, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen and the always stunning Eva & Roberto Cavalli.

11:30pm – Just as the night was ending, look who fell into my lap! Chanel Iman

12am – Headed back to the hotel to eat some spaghetti which is always a must in Italy! Some gelato? Bring it on! Can’t wait to fly back to my family tomorrow!!

The exhibit opens today June 7th at famed British jeweler Stephen Webster in Beverly Hills.  Proceeds from “In Case of Fashion Emergency Break Glass,” in addition to 10% of jewelry sales for the month of June, will be donated to the Prince’s Trust.

The Prince’s Trust is a cause especially close to Thomas’s heart. Having left his native Glouchester where he was studying as a plumber’s apprentice, Thomas found himself in London at age nineteen with only 30 pounds to his name. There he became immersed in the nightlife scene in hopes of meeting his idol, Boy George. He soon realized, however, he couldn’t get by with just being fabulous; he actually had to do something. The life of a fashion editor appealed to him so at 22 he applied for a grant from the Prince’s Trust.

With the money he won, David put together a portfolio and wrote over 100 stylists, hoping to work for free as an assistant. He supported himself with a job handing out roses and perfume in a bathroom of a club at night and washing dishes at a café on the weekends. He was eventually hired by Isabella Blow and Judy Blaine; the latter, as fate would have it, was Boy George’s stylist. After scoring a lucky break styling Lisa Stansfield‘s video for “All Around the World,” Thomas took over working with Boy George from Blaine, who had become too busy with another client, Neneh Cherry.

By 24, David Thomas had become the fashion editor at Esquire, the youngest editor in the world at that time. He befriended Hamish Bowles, who was working at Harper’s & Queen in the office next door. Bowles took Thomas under his refined wing and taught him the ins and outs of proper decorum. Thomas also met a young Philip Treacy from whom he commissioned a hat for Boy George, thus helping launch his impressive career as a milliner.

David Thomas plans to document his 23-plus years in fashion with a book he’s currently working on, but for “In Case of Fashion Emergency,” he didn’t want to delve too deep into the past. Rather, he wanted to focus on the last six months to make the exhibit more relevant. He will be featuring looks he styled for Britney Spears, Chris Brown, Matthew McConaughey, Avril Lavigne, Chris Hemsworth, John Legend and of course Puff Daddy, by whom the exhibit’s name is more or less inspired.

While having dinner one Saturday night, Puff called him, desperately in need of an outfit for dinner with Jay Z — an age-old dilemma. David rushed home, but impeded by traffic, got there an hour later, at which point Puff had already solved the problem. He later joked with friends that he should always have a back-up outfit, encased in a glass box like a fire extinguisher, and  in case of fashion emergencies, he would simply break the glass.

If you’re in Beverly Hills tonight or at all during the month of June — the length of the exhibit —  make sure to drop by Stephen Webster so you too can be prepared for your own fashion emergencies. Although, I doubt Puff Daddy will be calling you anytime soon, as David Thomas would tell you, it’s best to be prepared.

Famous attendees also included Ivanka Trump, Anne Heche, and Brad Goreski.

Everyone gathered at the Salvatore Ferragamo store to support socially responsible initiative.  The line benefits Acumen Fund, a nonprofit organization that addresses poverty in South Asia and East Africa through investments in business that delivers critical goods and services to low-income families.

Ashanti wows in red…Too bad her career doesn’t.

The Smiths win my vote for most fashionable family.

Queen Latifah has come a long way from her days as a hardcore rapper from Jersey.

John Legend always dresses sharp.

Normally I would hate this, but for some reason Cassie turns it out.

Consequence teamed up with John Legend and Kanye on ‘Whatever You Want.’ I was wondering why Amber Rose wasn’t one of the girls that Kanye was all over in the video, but then realized she has no hair to twirl around in a pony tail (seriously, that’s all this video is about). Regardless, the girl’s bathing suits in this video are totally fabulous, but that’s about all that’s good about it..I mean, Kanye already knows that Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time, so I guess that must mean he isn’t going to try anymore.
