It’s Friday night in the LES and where better to pre-game for the night ahead than at a young designer’s party? We met with designer and storeowner Anna McCraney at Annabelle to celebrate the store’s one-year anniversary on Stanton Street. More after the jump!

You would expect a dentist to have healthy teeth, a math teacher to be able to do long division and a police officer to follow the law, wouldn’t you? So why are some designers so gosh darn sartorially-challenged? Though they may make beautiful clothing for a living, some of fashion’s greatest designers have some of the worst personal style. Just because they have a great eye for detail doesn’t mean they use that eye when getting ready in the morning, so here’s a spiteful list of 10 designers who could probably do well by rifling through their collections rather than their closets.

- After five lucrative, statement-shouldered years, Balmain and creative director Christophe Decarnin are getting a divorce. What will happen to the sequined jackets?! No one ever thinks about the sequined jackets! Decarnin was notoriously absent from the Fall 2011 show in Paris under speculation of a mental break, but sources say the designer and Balmain’s chairman/CEO Alain Hivelin just didn’t see eye to eye. An internal hire is expected to be announced shortly. [WWD]

I’ve got at least two new items to add to my Birthday/Christmas wish list and Lindsay proves it can be easy being chic while lying through your teeth under oath. And a rap icon’s body turns cold without having his gat explode.

On last night’s Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen invited fashion icons Iman and Diane von Furstenberg to shoot the shit, impart some wisdom and solve world hunger. According to DVF, the best snack that won’t make you gain weight are your nails. Problem. Solved.

Yes I even surprised myself by writing the title but I can honestly say that his song is certainly a good watch.

Fashion icon. YSL-muse. Wife of David Bowie. Professional giraffe. Political science major. Kooky comedienne? Iman is all of the above.

MTV recently caught up with singer Kelly Rowland and she dished on her feeling about being replaced by Iman on The Fashion Show and maybe even starting her own accessories line. Keep reading for videos…

I had never heard that Detroit has a Fashion Week, but apparently they do. I’m sorry that I didn’t cover this, maybe next year, since you know, as the website says it’s Michigan’s “only fashion industry event.” That makes it sound so much more sad than exciting.
This year’s week was sponsored by the CW and showcased designs by Reco Chapple of Bravo’s ‘The Fashion Show,’ and Bianca Golden from one of the millions of seasons of America’s Next Top Model.

Since it’s freezing in Boston today, I decided to do some posts in front of the TV today. I decided to watch Bravo’s The Fashion Show for the first time ever today, which is what has spawned this post of confusion. Why in the hell is Kelly Rowland the host? What fashion credibility does she even have, because we have all seen the camo laden “Survivor” video. I think this really takes away from the legitimacy of the show a lot.
What do you think indies, with all the fashion people who would clearly love to be a part of this show, Why would they chose Kelly Rowland?
