Bronzed and beautiful as always, only Candace Swanepoel could pull-off a sweaty, matted-down hair, I-just-worked-out look this well. Photographed by Daniel Jackson for the February 2012 issue of Vogue China, Candy sports sporty looks from Alexander Wang, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga, Y-3 and Narciso Rodriguez, artfully styled by Alastair McKimm. Take notes ladies – this is what a city workout should look like.

While the Republicans scramble to choose a nominee from their clown car of potential candidates, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have already laid down the groundwork for their 2012 campaign. The Obama-Biden ticket has recently partnered with 22 fashion designers for Runway to Win, an initiative to create T-shirts, tote bags, scarves and wristlets benefiting the Obama Victory Fund. And the driving force behind it is none other than Vogue‘s very own iron lady, Anna Wintour.

When wrap-dress-impresario Diane von Furstenberg found out from the kids across the pond at Harrods and Selfridges that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge had bought two of her dresses for her upcoming North American tour with fuddy duddy hubby Prince William, she was reportedly “very happy.” Probably in hopes that Kate’s magic touch will work on both sides of the Atlantic.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week has found a new home at the Lincoln Center this September after a triumphant run at Bryant Park. A few designers are coming back after a brief hiatus from the tents because of the recession. The schedule for the Spring/Summer 2011 shows was released today and I can't wait to start getting invites and emailing press departments to beg for invites to the big shows. This year Fashion's Night Out returns and I plan to spend it with friends boutique hopping in New York City. Check out the full schedule below.

Narciso Rodriguez and magazine editor Joanna Coles are going to be teaching a live class for The Learning Annex. The course is titled “Breaking into Fashion” and seems like a great experience for any budding style all star. The class goes on May 13 from 7pm-9pm and will only cost $44.95. This is a huge steal to get a chance to talk fashion with the Marie Claire editor and the man who has dressed Michelle Obama and Sarah Jessica Parker. School has never looked so chic.
