New York may be frigid, but the fashion and celeb quotient is keeping us warm. Here’s what you need to know going into Day 3.

Fendi’s Fashionable Fete
To celebrate its new Madison Avenue Flagship, Fendi enlisted “iconic” New Yorkers including Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna, and blogger Leandra Medine to design their own versions of the house’s 3Baguette Bag, with the proceeds going to charity. The star-studded star opening also drew Sofia Coppola, Naomi Campbell, Hailee Steinfeld, and Zoe Kravitz. And as if that wasn’t cool enough, Erykah Badu was the evening’s DJ.

This Season’s Ubiquitor
Is Kesha the new Olivia Palermo? So far we’ve seen the pop star at the Edie Parker presentation, Prada party, and shows for Tadashi Shoji, Timo Weiland, and VFiles. Not that we mind! Guesses on where she will pop up next?

Kate Spade Draws the SNL Crowd
Taking a quick break from rehearsing for their 40th anniversary special that happening this weekend, Saturday Night Live’s Vanessa Bayer and Aidy Bryant popped by the Kate Spade presentation to check out the very cute predominately checkered-plaid-and-fur-collection. The pair posed for pictures with creative director Deborah Lloyd in outfits adorned with hearts. Aww!
A look from Adam Selman, Fall 2015.
Adam Selman Loves a Rebel
Rihanna, the ultimate bad gal, loves Selman’s designs, so it’s of little surprise that the designer sent models down the runway brimming with attitude. (There was even a chain link fence for them to lean on where they pretended to gossip.) The retro-inspired collection included plenty bows, bouffants, and sass.
A look from Gabriela Hearst, Fall 2015.
Gabriela Hearst Is This Week’s Most Buzzed About Designer So Far
This is Hearst’s first run as a solo act (she previously co-designed Candela), and the result was quite exquisite. Our Market Director, Dora Fung, calls it “Glamorous without being loud and in your face. Loads of individual pieces that make up a woman’s exciting wardrobe with the perfect high boots!”
Wu’s Shoes
Aside from the luxurious cashmere coats, exotic croc skirts and dresses, and the fur-wrapped-in-fur look that closed the show, all anyone was talking about at Jason Wu’s show was the killer shoes. The pumps and booties featured an architectural golden triangle heel. For a safe but beautiful show, these shoes added the necessary bit of spice.

Celeb’s Go-To Clutch Designer
Edie Parker’s Brett Heyman (a former head of Gucci PR), showed her Fall collection at Monkey Bar. Her line, which has evolved this season to include lots of suede and luxe bohemian details, is a favorite of Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Swift, and more. Read our full interview with her here!
