Last night, the dapper rapper Theophilus London traded in the mic for a turntable, and took his turn as DJ to the fiery fêtes of NY Fashion Week. The FashionIndies hit the Joseph Abboud after party with London as the DJ on the invite. Fashionably late, and several dirty 90s hip hop songs in, we realized it was not Theophilus spinning. The new garde fashionisto had already made moves for a more (literally) underground party at the W Hotel‘s former Downstairs, the new Lilium. Well played, sir. We made our way W-wards and got down to his rap ass rap set. Don’t get too bummed, catch his set tonight, if you can.

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.
