Project Runway Spoilers!
The Project Runway finale fashion show was at the Bryant Park tents today, and we're getting tons of tips about the goings on, who showed what, and who got the biggest audience reaction. Now as a devoted fan of the show, it pained me to look through photos and read write-ups of each of the collections, but such is my job. Though, one or more of them may have been dummy collections... If you're so inclined, AM New York's blogger Korin Miller has a nice, short assessment of each designer's showing, and, of course, Jezebel has lots of coverage. Also, after the jump you'll find a photo of the surprise celebrity judge, who will weigh in with Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and Heidi Klum to make the final decision. More »

The Cobrasnake Goes Diesel
Recently the irreverent! hipster party photographer Mark the Cobrasnake sneaked into the Diesel show during Fashion Week, met a lady who called herself "Pythonface", had an awkward chat with brand-founder Renzo Rosso, and just acted like an all around stupid sunglasses wearing asshole. Shockingly, this was a tie-in with Nylon TV. It's over tomorrow, it's over tomorrow...

The Bird Boys of Fashion Week
The male model of today is either an "urchin, a wraith, or an underfed runt," explains the NYT Styles. At recent European shows, even jaded fashion industry people were "flabbergasted by the sheer quantity of guys who looked chicken-chested, hollow-cheeked and undernourished."More »

Ryan Adams's Fashion Week: "Pretty Sweet"
OK, who let Ryan Adams into Fashion Week? Apparently it's a "come one, come all" sort of affair these days? Because now the scruffy musician/ex Jessica Joffe dater is offering commentary via YouTube and totally diluting the Fashion Week brand. We'd tell you what he said, but it's hard to concentrate on the words when you realize how totally adorable he is while wearing glasses and struggling to pronounce "Shiseido."

The Most Influential Fashion Designer Of His Generation
A defender of the detachment of the British royal family once said: “We must not let daylight in upon the magic.” Advice which applies to Marc Jacobs, the designer, subject of a documentary airing this month on the Sundance Channel. Jacobs' affection for gay porn stars doesn't diminish his mystique: fashion industry figures are expected to be outrageously homosexual. But take a look at the designer (the most influential of his generation, the narrator declares) in "pigeon disguise" so ambitious and cumbersome that he has to ride in a truck. That epitomizes his whole state of mind, we're told; it also epitomizes the absurdity of the fashion industry. Click for Marc Jacobs thoughtful, chain-smoking; the fashion designer on inspiration; on the horns of a dilemma ("This is so horrible that it is good. Or is it so horrible that it's horrible?"); and, yes, as a pigeon.

Everybody Hurts
Another tale from Fashion Week has emaciated, batshit insane actress Brittany Murphy telling a gossip magazine reporter: "Your magazine HURT. MY. LIFE." Not since she uttered the immortal line "Just as long so his you-know-what isn't crooked. I really hate that," in the epic masterpiece Clueless, has Ms. Murphy been so eloquent about the state of the world. [NYMag]

Fashion Week: Useless, Irritating, Vitally Important
Curious about what goes in gray old New York during the super, super exciting Fashion Week? Well, Nylon TV has put together a handy guide to the city during this fabulous and world changing event. Watch as the drawling young Tracy explores the mythic SoHo district and expounds upon the glories of the F train. It's everything inane and hateful about the fashion industry but also kinda sweet in a weird way. Also, included after the jump, watch crazy old fashion designer Betsey Johnson ramble on about some piece of bullshit, then gaze upon the glory that was a Marc Jacobs Fashion Week party about two years ago. Best part: The crazy party people singing Journey! It's like prom, only glassy-eyed-er. This is how history is made: gracefully unfolding, like a peacock wearing blinders, to the delight of some and the pained ambivalence of many. More »
Indiscriminate Fashion Fag
One of our Fashion Week informants reveals the hidden purpose of the industry's New York extravaganza: enabling creative homosexuals to gush, bitch, hook up, and then bitch again.

Don't you dare use my name on this one! Overheard outside a show: "So this loser walks up to you, you touch his curly hair, and the next thing you know, you're having unprotected sex." Incidentally, I've been all up down and over this Fashion Week and other than such similar comments, people have been particularly polite - quite a change from a year ago, though that might be a function of my improving seating assignments.
