Forgive me for this week's second story involving Kim Kardashian, but this is just too nuts. Yesterday Mugler creative director Nicola Formichetti invited Emily Weiss of Into the Gloss to the label's HQ to watch Team Mugler prep for their Paris Fashion Week show (which is happening in just a few hours!). As the duo gabbed about all things fashion and tech, Formichetti revealed that the new Mugler woman is less avant-garde and more relatable, which is why his latest source of inspiration come from the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star. I'm serious. 

If 2012 is the year of reinvention, then London is at the apex of the fashion world's metamorphosis. From Jonathan Saunder's Tate takeover to Burberry's technicolor trench parade (pictured), British designers have taken a leap toward the future while nodding to the past—and the results are everything I want to wear.

While others promptly peeled off their sky-high stilettos post-New York Fashion Week, my crazy ass jetted off to London to see what kind of stylish mischief I could get into across the pond. Similar to my stateside jaunt, the last few days have been filled with a healthy blend of sartorial satisfaction and naughty nightlife, complemented by the setting of a visually stunning city. From brilliantly avant-garde pieces at the Phoebe English show to a quintessential British sighting (Dame Vivenne Westwood, pictured), peep the highlights.

Amidst the many NYFW shows, parties and after parties, adorable twee-friendly label Orla Kiely hosting a viewing of Darlin'—a new spring 2013 film directed by cool-kid director Maximilla Lukacs. Shot in Palm Springs, the Leith Clark-styled video stars the enchanting Hanna Holman, who would have fitted perfectly in the cast of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, and the soundtrack features delightfully breathy vocals by Erika Spring of Au Revoir Simone.   To really drive the indie vibe home, the film was screened in a retro camper parked inside of the 5 Mercer Street boutique, which was customized in Orla Kiely's signature wallflower print. Take a peek at the film (via Elle) below.

Crêpes, club kids and world famous rappers: it's just another night in Jeremy Scott's fantastical wonderland. After a successful SS13 runway show attended by the likes of Tyra Banks, Paris Hilton and Swizz Beatz earlier in the day, the adventurous designer threw a wild bash at the romp-worthy Le Bain lounge at The Standard hotel. In an effort to top last year's Jay-Z-attended illmatic after party, the jam-packed event featured even more visual, edible and audio candy, including a full-on Nutella crêpe bar and a performance by BlackBook favorite, A$AP Rocky. Read on for the photographic evidence.
