Gossip Girl is back after a too-long hiatus.

Gossip Girl is back after a too-long hiatus. Woo hoo! And here is Serena strutting her sassy stuff. Her ivory sweater dress and gray Phillip Lim military coat are demure, not to mention cozy, but she punches it up with plaid tights and over-the-knee Camilla Skovgaard boots. A python Carlos Falchi bag ups the luxe. Welcome back GG, we missed you.

Carlos Falchi's Girl Graffitis His Bags

Now that Carlos Falchi's daughter Kate is all done with school — she graduated Trinity University and Parsons The New School For Design — she's joining his team.

Now that Carlos Falchi's daughter Kate is all done with school — she graduated Trinity University and Parsons The New School For Design — she's joining his team. First task? Helping her dad design the Graffiti Collection consisting of six bags and a few small leather goods. Retailing from $395 to $1,195, the line will make its debut on Sept. 10 at Bergdorf Goodman during Fashion’s Night Out. Twenty-five-year-old Kate's graffiti is a result of listening to music with pops, who once designed clothes for rockers like Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, and Jerry Garcia. I can't wait to see what father and daughter dream up next.
