Ah, that rich citrus scent wafts smokily through New York Fashion Week as many designers are using burnt orange as a carrying color throughout their collections. With varying tones of vibrance, this hue skews dark, often mixed with maroons and deep aqua greens á la Costello Tagliapietra and Band of Outsiders. In a thousand textures and a million ways, expect to see more orange burning to the ground in Fall 2012.

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 2012 SAG Awards took place last night, and our applause goes out to all the big winners. As always, we were super excited to see what everyone was wearing on the red carpet from the couture dresses to the 6-inch high stiletto platforms. See what all the Screen Actors Guild talent wore to the awards in our gallery after the jump.

Karlie Kloss, Zac Posen, Hilary Rhoda, Jeremy Scott, Rebecca Minkoff and a flock of fashionable friends joined professional poser Coco Rocha and Victoria’s Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo at Milk Gallery last night to commemorate the premiere of the documentary, Letters to Haiti. Directed by Coco’s husband, James Conran, the film chronicles their recent trip to Haiti and explores how children on the island nation are coping in the aftermath of last year’s devastating earthquake. In addition to the film, Behati’s portraits from the trip were on exhibit and guests were invited to bid on them to benefit the charity LakayPAM.

The sea of standard black suitcases streaming off the baggage claim not only is a confusing playland of lose-your-luggage, but it’s also super boring to watch. Give yourself a lift at the airport, and get a bag that jumps (and glides as if on ice). However, if you’re going to go black, at least go Jimmy Choo croc.
