Yet more designer collaborations to report! Rachel Antonoff and Erin Fetherston are the most recent additions to the ever-growing, 50-Foot-Woman of a trend. Fetherston, who signed on to create an upscale capsule collection for the track suit mavens at Juicy Couture earlier this year, has been hard at work on a slew of velvet pieces just in time for holiday 2010. The collection, which Fashionologie debuted images of yesterday, includes a few numbers plucked from the boudoir: the Dolman Sleeve Gown ($378) looks ripe for nocturnal lounging. A festive boustier dress ($298) and a silk and velvet dress ($298) prove the most wearable features of the collection, alongside a jeweled button jacket ($228) and Roaring Twenties-inspired headpieces, handbags, and jewelry.The collection is currently up for grabs at Juicy Couture.

I was a fan of Erin Fetherston even before I found out I could afford her Target line as a broke college student. Since then, I’ve paid homage at all her shows, which reminds me: Erin, what’s a girl gotta do to get front row these days? I digress. Erin usually sends a barrage of Fetherston clones down the runway, making a statement by adorning them with a thick, blonde fringe—Erin’s signature look. This year, the real statement was made by not following tradition, showcasing an easy, sleek, and bang-less style that complimented her “Birds of Paradise” spring show. “I like the idea of this woman who travels far and wide, and collects these treasures to add to her wardrobe," she told Style.com. The easy elegance of minimal styling and shine comes courtesy of a growing backstage favorite Moroccanoil.

Up and coming designers Richard Chai, Jeremy Scott and Erin Fetherston are all branching out with new collections this year that extend beyond their namesake brands. Chai has joined Scott in designing for Alternative Apparel. Keeping right in line with Vena Cava's soon-to-launch line of lower-priced cotton tees and dresses and Alexander Wang's T by Alexander Wang, these two capsule collections include solely pieces "made from crazy-soft fabrics like linen jersey and modal silk that you could easily sleep in," says Refinery 29, who will be the exclusive retailer for the collection. Chai created three separate, dynamic tees for Alternative Apparel, while Scott worked his magic on "a sleeved dress, a hooded number and a super-fierce catsuit," adds Refinery 29. But, the best part is undoubtedly the price point: styles start at $69. The only catch: you can't snooze; the collection is only up for grabs for a month.

New Yorkers will take any excuse to celebrate themselves, and for the past Fashion Week the city has been injecting itself with Nightlife Growth Hormone, each night seeing a collection of parties devoted to the beautiful and the elite. And while we didn't have a fall collection to celebrate, we did just release our Hollywood issue, and if anything deserves a party, it's that.

Ever since bidding bon voyage to the Parsons School of Design in Paris, Fetherston has been making a splash among the New York fashion set. Her Autumn/Winter '09 show took place at the Fashion Week tents on February 15 and wowed spectators with super-feminine mini frocks, amazing gravity-defying teacup skirts, two-toned tights, lace gloves, flowing dress layers, rhinestone bows and accents, floral capes, and glittery mouse masks. The new collection is every girly girl's über fantasy.

Cookies might be the enemy for waify models, but rumor has it that Erin Fetherston and LU Biscuits will collaborate on ... something. Fetherston burst onto the fashion scene a few years ago and is known for her whimsical, otherworldly couture dresses. Recently she branched out to ready-to-wear and will present in Bryant Park four days before the collaboration will be announced. She recently gave a one-word description of her upcoming collection: "Sunset." So what the designer and the chocolate-biscuit company could be making together is anyone's guess.

New York Fashion Week topples over with model pouts, distended egos, and double-kisses. The whole circus is as fabulous as it is absurd. To usher in the Spring 2008 collections, we checked in with young, fun strut peddlers to find out what they’ll be listening to—on and off the runway.
