New York rains on London Fashion Week's Fall '09 plans
Much like California, London is in the midst of a culture war with New York.
Up until now, everything has been pretty balanced:
Luella goes back to London to present her collections and Jonathan Saunders flees London to set-up shop in New York; London has a Topshop and New York will get one this fall; We get Peaches Geldof, Alexa Chung, and Daisy Lowe and London gets, well, I'm sure. But you get where I'm going with this.
However, things have gotten far less cozy between the two big cities.
Marie Claire reports that during London Fashion Week next season, the designers are going to be forced to shorten their schedule to four days since New York's possey will be showing seven days later next year.
Can anyone say rude? Apparently, Hilary Riva of the British Fashion Council can: "It's very easy to say that London could be shorter. But we're the least strong city financially, and cutting short the week would further reduce our ability to bring in revenue."
Fashion wars, they're real.

Abbey Lee Kershaw; Another One Bites The Dust
If Karma is real in its perceived consequences, then anyone who laughs at loud at model Abbey Lee Kershaw's fall at the Rodarte show yesterday is undoubtedly going to hell.
And yet, I still can't stop laughing.
Much Like Jessica Stam a couple of years ago at the Chloé show, Abbey Lee completely wiped out while trying to strut in her sky high Nicholas Kirkwood heels on the runway yesterday.
Meanwhile, Abbey Lee is one of the fourteen models on the new V 55 issue, so she's probably not feeling too bad right now. OK. maybe just a little bit.
PS: You can see here fall from grace, here.
