  • Diane von Furstenberg, along with CFDA executive director Steven Kolb, welcomed Los Angeles CFDA members to her Coldwater Canyon mansion Thursday night for an evening of cocktails and conversation. "We wanted to let you know that we haven't forgotten you," von Furstenberg told the group, including Koi Suwannagate, Laura and Kate Mulleavy, James Perse, Magda Berliner, Louis Verdad, Kevan Hall and Bradley Bayou. "In fact, we are often jealous because everyone in Los Angeles is so cool and stylish." Then she made a beeline for actress Perrey Reeves, who was wearing a vintage DVF print from 1976, and even snapped a photo. After the designer addressed issues ranging from copyright protection to CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund eligibility, one guest said, "I have another question: Can I stay here when you're not home?"


  • Colette's Sarah Lerfel... "We're gearing up to open a 24-hour ephemeral boutique in Los Angeles on Nov. 9," she said, adding that Marc Jacobs, Martin Margiela and Jack Spade are some of the other brands participating in the event, in collaboration with Paper magazine.


  • Ruehl, Abercrombie & Fitch's 19-store chain geared for 22- to 35-year-olds, has launched an e-commerce site with offerings limited to handbags, cologne and perfume.
  • Gap Inc. launched an investigation that children as young as 10 years old toiled in a sweatshop in India to produce children's goods for Gap, after allegations of those activities were published in British newspaper The Observer.
