Packed about 3 days worth of shows and re-sees into today so forgive me if I’m a bit loopy! One thing’s for sure– jet lag is a luxury I can’t afford to indulge in, but my bed is calling me so here are just  a few morsels before I call it a day:

Cranky buyers and editors are  complaining bitterly  about the (even) shorter Milan schedule–its actually nuts, even for a fashion crazed high-energy type-A like me!

From early-morning dominatrixes at Dsquared, all the way through to futuristic tartans at  Jil Sander tonight,  it was run run run. I think next season I’ll need a chopper. Read the rest of this entry »

The Jil Sander collection for Uniqlo was welcomed with such open arms that the designer is collaborating on a second collection for the Japanese brand. It’s set to launch for Spring 2010.  Also on her second lap, Stella McCartney for Gap Kids, with a collection also in the works for spring.  [Fashionista]

In celebrity-turned-designer news, R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe is collaborating with Maison Martin Margiela. The musician’s single piece is a sterling silver microcassette on an unraveling tape chain. The accessory can be worn as a bracelet, necklace, or belt, to name a few plausible suggestions. Only 199 will be available at Maison Martin Margiela boutiques.

Looking for a souvenir from Toronto Fashion Week (besides the 18 Schick Quattros)? Fashion illustrator and blogger-about-town Danielle Meder has illustrated postcards of some of the runway looks. (Our faves: Comrags and Joeffer) [Final Fashion]

We need a palate cleanse after all that high fashion.  Figure skating costumes will do nicely. [LA Times]

Jil Sander is now a consultant for Uniqlo, which, for the thousandth time, we are praying will come to Canada. Seriously, how can we get this done? [Yahoo]

Two words: Jil Sander. Just a phenomenal collection tonight that makes everything I’ve seen up till now just look like a bunch of “stuff.” Talk about moving fashion forward. Incredibly simple…modern and futuristic, yet classic clothing—hey, if I were nominated, I’d be wearing one of those finale pieces to the Oscars in a heartbeat. Brilliant, moulded, architectural, unadorned, neon tipped and just breathtaking! The entire room was completely spellbound and believe me, this is not an easy crowd to please. Definitely a moment here in Milan this season.
