- While I still don’t believe in this alleged Hurricane so spinsterishly named Irene, New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority will start shutting down at noon on Saturday,meaning it’s time to grab a bottle, hunker down and pray for daylight. [Daily News]

- But of course we have you covered for all your Hurricane Irene needs with a handy guide to surviving this natural disaster in style. [FashionIndie]

- And finally, someone has their priorities in order. Sure there’s a potentially deadly storm heading our way, but what about the Barneys Warehouse Sale? Won’t someone think of the Warehouse Sale?! [Racked]

Yigal Azrouël and Steven Kolb on the Verge of a Glorious Breakthrough

Last night in a glass room above 29th St at Bar Basque, members of the CFDA, W Magazine, and I (and others) witnessed though the window several ladies go bat shit crazy. Well actually, we watched Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, a film by Pedro Almodóvar. Only, it was quite difficult to concentrate on the movie when there were such interesting people with whom to converse.

First, a giant congratulations to Steven Kolb on becoming the newly minted CEO of the CFDA after five years of executive directing. As President Diane Von Furstenberg told WWD, “Steven is a CEO. This title is long deserved. Steven is the best.…He is smart, sensitive to talent and works very, very hard. We started together at CFDA, and I cannot imagine CFDA without him.” I was lucky enough to speak with him briefly last night, and as promised, sent him my recap of the movie. Which I’ll certainly have to re-watch…
