Rachel Zoe on Her Collection Being Inspired by That Vintage Dress; Plus, See the Full Collection Lookbook

>> Rachel Zoe is a little ahead of the fashion schedule in a lot of ways — as everyone is just gearing up to premiere their Fall 2011 collections, she's already debuted her signature collection for Fall, sold it to Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, and Intermix, finished her Resort 2012 collection, and started on Spring 2012. Some of the exigency could be blamed on her impending baby boy, due in March, who is also preventing her from traveling to Fashion Week this season.

One of the bestsellers for Zoe's Fall 2011 collection, Style.com reports, is a black batwing top with columns of gold sequins (left) — see the full collection for the first time in the gallery. And as for the collection's infamous dress that looks strikingly similar to a vintage frock Zoe styled years back, the designer-cum-stylist says, "I've been subconsciously building this collection in my mind for a long time. There are a million vintage pieces that have inspired me, and every other designer in the world."

But don't expect to see Zoe dress Anne Hathaway in her own collection for the Oscars — Zoe is said to be charging Hathaway an "astronomical" fee for the occasion, and with such a fee comes a certain caliber of dress. "If you're gonna use couture," she tells Style.com, "it should be at the Academy Awards."

I'm Asking: What's the Most Extravagant Gift You've Received?

Neiman Marcus released their gift catalog on Tuesday and boy were the things listed on there truly extravagant.

Neiman Marcus released their gift catalog on Tuesday and boy were the things listed on there truly extravagant. Make your pickings among items like a $1.5 million "glass creation from artist Dale Chihuly for the bottom of a swimming pool," $15,000 gingerbread playhouse, and a $125,000 private party organized by celebrity event planner, Colin Cowie. If you're looking to spend less, you can still feel like a baller with the $100 tweezer blinged out with crystals or a $95 scented candle featured on the catalogs. These Neiman gifts may not be realistic, but what's the most extravagant gift you've received?

Video Sneak Peeks from CBS's Fashion's Night Out Special, Plus More FNO Fashion Show Details

>> The rest of the 1,500 general sale tickets to the Fashion's Night Out fashion show sold out yesterday within four hours — although Lincoln Center's ticket office says more may become available before the show, and interested parties should call to inquire. Otherwise, the show is also set to be livestreamed.

A few more details about the fashion show have popped up — Tabitha Simmons and Edward Enninful are handling styling duties, and it will be focused on seven trends: Global Traveler, Rocker Girl, Roaring Twenties, Clean Chic, Fifties Era, and Country Weekend. CBS has also starting posting sneak peeks of the filming for their Fashion's Night Out television special — in one, during a planning meeting for the fashion show, Virginia Smith says, "We wanted to get across this idea of fashion coming from the streets of New York, so every trend is given a geographical location." As she says this, a slide pops up portraying the feathers trend paired with the Bronx Zoo.

Speaking of feathers, Anna Wintour, addressing retail executives at another meeting, poses the question with a smile: "Do feathers sell? Is that why they're back two seasons later?"

Look of the Day: In the Nude

Goodbadnfab was snapped in the nude — and caught looking completely fabulous.

Goodbadnfab was snapped in the nude — and caught looking completely fabulous. The dress might be covered up, but nude tones make it a sultry selection, and a pair of wood-heeled platforms take it up a notch. These are neutrals with serious statement power and a whole lot of sex appeal.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: eBay
Shoes: Miu Miu
Bangles: Neiman Marcus

Congrats to Goodbadnfab!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!
