Where: The Thompson Hotel in SoHo

When: November 20 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Nov. 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m

What to Bring: Bring a women’s evening wear sketch, portfolio, résumé, and garment that you have designed and sewn. And please people, this is an open call…lots of people, lots of talent…you want to look good…learn from the fashion mistakes of the Rodarte girls!

Mag Hag: Kate Moss For British Vogue, Again

For the 26th time, Kate Moss hits the cover of Vogue, this time for its Christmas issue “posed elegantly across a special fold out front cover.”

Also in the issue, Tim Walker teams up with Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter for some festive magic in a Roald Dahl inspired shoot, Tales of the unexpected, fashion features writer Sarah Harris spends a week in a couture wardrobe and Karl Lagerfeld invites us to his fashion ball.

Plus a particularly stylish Christmas present from Vogue to you comes in the shape of The Secret Address Book, full of 537 must-know names, addresses and places for those most important of things; where to get your favourite shoes repaired, where to indulge with the best designer cakes and who can keep your head stylishly warm (Madeleine Thompson, as it happens) throughout winter, to name but just a few.
