Alexa Chung Plays London Tour Guide

By Erin Donnelly

What shows are you psyched about this season?

Charles Anastase, but I missed it. And Luella.

What's the best fashion buy you've made recently?

This H&M cardigan (cream with black stripes), and I love my Luella bag.

Anything on your fashion wish list this spring?

I really want some round sunglasses. I saw some white circle ones
that I like, but I don't know where to buy them.

Got any London sightseeing tips for us?

I'd go to Maison Bertaux on Greek Street, and then Dover Street
Market and its Rose Bakery to eat and shop.

Kanye West is all over the place here. Are there any celebrities you're hoping to run into?

Courtney Love--she's always amazing. And Kim Gordon--I love her.
And...New Kids on the Block?

Robert Geller Contemplates His CFDA/GQ Win and Opens Up on Valentine's Day

By Gabriel Bell, Photos by Nick Wolf

So what do you think your CFDA/GQ Men's Designer of the Year Award will do for the line?

I have no idea, to be honest. I mean, a ton more people are paying attention to what we are doing, which is amazing considering we're so tiny. It's great, but I haven't given myself time to figure it all out.

We've seen you here and there at the shows. Any thing that you found particularly memorable?

My favorite so far was Richard Chai. When it comes to design, men and women, he has such a delicate touch. It's just so impressive that he can do that with both.

Between the CFDA ceremonies and doing your show on Saturday, you had a busy couple of days—what did you do to unwind after?

Oh, yes. It was Valentine's Day, after all, so I went to a quiet dinner with my wife and two other couples—friends of ours. Then I slept… a very long time.

By Max Berlinger, Photo by Kit Chaney

What have been your favorite shows so far?
Well, I just got back into town from DJing at Le Baron in Tokyo so I've only seen Carolina Herrera, which was great.

Any shows you're looking forward to seeing?
I can't wait to see Max Azria. I'm so mad I missed Hervé!

And the models falling!
I know! I've never seen a model fall at a show. I must be a good luck charm.

Front Row Funny Man—Jimmy Fallon at the Rag & Bone Show

By Xiyin Tang, Photo by Olivia Jade Horner

What'd you think of the show? Phenomenal. There were a couple of pieces in there I loved. I thought they all looked great.

And you would wear them?
Yeah!

I saw you getting down to the music, I bet you know Thom Yorke curated the playlist.
Girl, please! I thought it was FANtastic.

Are you going to any other shows for Fashion Week?
Nope, this is it. Rag & Bone and then I go home.

Really? Why only Rag & Bone?
I mean, need I say more? I think it speaks for itself!
