Meryl Streep sits on a rock recently left vacant by Charlize Theron in a belted shirtdress for the January issue of Vogue, meaning that Anna Wintour‘s finally dropped that half-decade-old Devil Wears Prada grudge.

Diane von Furstenberg and co. are standing their ground. Last week the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana accepted the Council of Fashion Designers of America‘s attempt at compromise — moving New York’s shows next September in exchange for Milan accepting the second Thursday rule — but only if the CFDA cut the last day of New York Fashion Week. Well, turns out that last day has some big names attached — Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein Collection, specifically – so the CFDA said “no dice” in a letter to the Camera on Tuesday.

Some people will do anything to get into Vogue. Those people are wise. Like shoe designer Alejandro Ingelmo, who accepted Vogue‘s challenge to create a pair of wedges out of car parts. We’re not talking about parts from, say, a beat up ol’ El Camino, no no. These parts come from the new Lexus CT Hybrid, which in and of itself is 90% recyclable. Watch the magic happen.

The top runway hair trends of Fall 2011 were wielded by the hair stylist superstars of Windle and Moodie. This London based salon by Paul Windle and Neil Moodie is truly run by masters. Paul Windle was the principal of the Vidal Sassoon schools back in the 80s, and left in ’88 to open his own Salon. His prominence grew in the 90s in editorial and on the runway, styling a good number of Vogue covers. He’s also the reason his swear-by products Bumble and Bumble got so popular in the UK. If you’re in Londontown, you may even snag a coveted appointment for a haircut by Windle himself. Neil Moodie took a moment to shows us how to get the season’s coolest hair. From the tough ponied tomboy girlfriend to the teased, hurried and extreme hair of the Fall ’11 runways, Moodie takes you step by step here.
