>> Proenza Schouler recently sent flat sandals down its Spring 2011 runway. "Sensible shoes," noted Lazaro Hernandez. "Tranny shoes feel old, everyone's wearing them." But that wasn't the case for the amped-up platform oxfords seen on its Fall runway, which apparently aren't going into production. Opening Ceremony has six pairs of the one-of-a-kind shoes, straight off the runway. They range $750 to $1,000 and come in size 39 or 41. [@openingceremony]
Color Spotting: Tenacious Tan

Thanks in part to Phoebe Philo at Celine and Hannah MacGibbon at Chloe, tan plays a prevalent role in this Fall's wardrobe staples. Wear it head-to-toe for a modern monochromatic palette, as in Zara's September lookbook, above left, or style one statement piece — like the Isabel Marant leather biker jacket seen above — with bright red accompaniments for maximum pop.
Left to right: Zara's September 2010 lookbook, Isabel Marant Keni Biker Jacket ($2,395), Mulberry Alexa Sparkle Tweed Leather Bag ($1,250), Opening Ceremony Western Mules ($440), Chloé Knitted Wool Skirt ($490)

Trend Alert: Pony Hair Shoe Flair
We've seen pony hair on footwear in small doses already, but come Fall, there's way more pony hair shoe flair in store. This time, look for pony and calf hair taking over on flats, loafers, and boots, a la Phillip Lim's new Fall footwear. Don't fear a little pony fringe, it's just another way to texturize. We love how it furthers interest in a leopard print and adds another dimension to lace-up boots or clogs. It's sophisticated with just a little free-spirited fashion fun.

1. Karl Lagerfeld Will Be In Town
He's hosting a Chanel dinner the night before Fashion's Night Out, and accepting a Fashion Visionary Award (from the Couture Council of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology) at a luncheon the day of, so he's definitely in New York for the occasion.

First Look: Chloe Sevigny Debuts Third Collection for Opening Ceremony
>> This Winter brings Chloe Sevigny's third collection to Opening Ceremony. The concept? Five dresses — a baby doll, a puff-sleeved minidress, an empire-waisted shift, a Peter Pan-collared frock, and a boxy dress — in five different prints — leopard, polka dot, paisley, houndstooth, and floral.
"I was just thinking about my closet and how I buy the same thing over and over again. I will buy one dress and want to have it made with different fabrics, so I thought why not try different silhouettes with different patterns, so people can choose a silhouette and have it in a variety of prints," Sevigny explained, adding: “These are prints that I always come back to.”
There are also leather shorts, jeans, T-shirts done with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, square-toed boots reissued by NaNa Shoes ("I wore those combat boots growing up," Sevigny said), sunglasses by Barton Perreira, and tights printed by Fogal to match the dresses.
More images of the collection can be seen here.
