Gap and Nylon Fête Gap's New Soho Concept Store
The stars spread some holiday cheer last night at Gap's new 8,000-square-foot concept store in Soho. The always-adorable Becki Newton and Emmy Rossum stopped by and tried on scarves and hats. The City's Roxy Olin also made a cameo and left with a bag full of goodies.
Behind the Seams: Nylon's 10th Birthday Bash
To help celebrate its decade of existence, Nylon Magazine invited all its fabulous friends to the Thompson LES Hotel in New York City last night. Who made the guest list? Christian Siriano, Alexandra Richards, Ciara, Marc Jacobs's fiance Lorenzo Martone, and Taylor Momsen, who announced she's designing costumes for her rock band's upcoming tour.
Leighton Meester in Bedazzled Preen: Love It or Hate It?
Leighton Meester has been known to push the fashion envelope every so often, so when we spotted her wearing this unique Preen dress at the Nylon Mexico launch party we had to dish. Her bedazzled LBD has an interesting mesh overlay and corset-like panel running across the chest. For adornments, the Gossip Girl chose a multi-colored bracelet by House of Lavande, a stingray barrel clutch by Cecelia, and a pair of strappy black sandals.
Simply Fab: Fashion Gets Illustrated
Models Coco Rocha (left), Hilary Rhoda, Jessica Stam, Freja Beja Erichsen, and Lily Cole all show up in the recent issue of Nylon Magazine, but not in the way that you would expect. Artist in residence Coco has drawn gorgeous and lifelike illustrations of the models on the catwalk and in editorials. They're definitely worth a look, and in fact, they're worth printing and posting on your walls.
Simply Fab: Water-Repellent Mackage Nylon Jacket
Leather jackets are great, and I think everyone should have at least one, but what's a girl to do when she gets stuck in an unanticipated downpour? If you happen to have this nifty Mackage Fitted Nylon Jacket ($286) in your purse, then, nothing!
It has the look of leather, plus the unique advantage of not getting bruised in the rain.

Handbag Designer Spotlight: MZ Wallace
Amid a sea of gaudy and ambiguous designer handbags, MZ Wallace purses stand out with their utilitarianism. Founders Lucy Wallace Eustice, a former Harper's Bazaar editor, and Monica Zwirner, a fashion stylist and interior designer, met through the fashion industry. Turns out, they had the same vision; they both realized that luxury consumers weren't about to give up their Birkins for newcomers.

The Look for Less: Marc Jacobs Plaid Shopping Bag
My all-time fave designer Marc Jacobs came out with his own version of the red plaid nylon shopping bag earlier in the year. But did you know he was most probably inspired by the original $2 Chinatown nylon plaid shopping bags? Needless to say, Marc is the one who made it cool to carry one of these puppies to the grocery store, or on your coffee run.
