If three is a trend then live streaming ones fashion show is as a la mode as comfort clothing and sheerness for SS10. Burberry did it. And Alexander McQueen (who announced his embarkation into the digital world this season via twitter) followed suit. Now, Louis Vuitton is hopping aboard the bandwagon, proving SS10 fashion truly represents the democratization of fashion (as Norma Kamali aptly titled her presentation at Apple's Soho store during New York Fashion Week). The latter's fashion show, set to take place October 7th at 2:30pm (local time) in Paris and will be streamed live on the luxury fashion brand's facebook page.

Tiffany Gong and Christina Rodriguez are fashion freelancers and jewelry designers for their line, Triskaidekaphobia (which means fear of the number 13) by day and the Six Six Sick girls by night. After hosting a Tuesday night party at New York’s Happy Ending bar, the girls started a following full of fashion panache and eccentric party-goers. Their current gigs include heading up private events and weekly parties at the Tribeca Grand and Webster Hall, BEast . They'll be throwing a Chictopia fashion week event at BEast this evening, and will have a night at Butter starting Friday, September 25th.

Robert Pattinson and Megan Fox make sucking it sexy, Lady Gaga accessorized last night's VMA performance with it, and HBO makes it True: Blood is having its moment. While sporting a pair of plastic fangs is only cool in a middle school cafeteria, and stage blood should stay on stage (though it also makes unnecessary appearances in middle school cafeterias), fashion houses like Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, and Dolce & Gabbana have made fashionable interpretations of all the pop culture gore, sending modern-day vamps down their fall runways. With variations of pale skin, dramatic eyes, and blood-red lips, the look is perfect for a little bloodletting after hours, and with a few tweaks, can also be wearable at your day job.

In seasons past, numerous designers have forgone traditional collection presentations in favor of short films or multimedia installations -- and the trend has only gained steam given the recession's recent squeezing of fashion houses' resources. So it's not exactly a shock that heavyweights like Alexander McQueen and Stefani Pilati of YSL are sitting out SS10 presentations (which just wrapped in Milan and kick off in Paris today) this season, and instead supplying films in place of shows. McQueen enlisted fashion photog David Sims to help him create a film about a tortured artist (in some frames clad solely in tightie whities), and, though it's obviously intended to disturb, the end result feels more like The Strangers than The Shining.

The Spot: Happy Ending (Lower East Side) - The dirty boys and girls of the east side flock to Tuesday's Six Six Sick party to get dressed up, boozed up, then dirty all over again in this classic massage parlour turned drunk tank.

Patron Saint of Style: Lady Gaga. You know how you look at her with both interest and disdain, but also mentally note her couture for a future Halloween reference? That's exactly the kind of costume you should be prepared to rock here, where fashion is about fun.

Perhaps once a decade, an unconventionally beautiful (read: not thin) artist exerts such an irresistible magnetism as to blow the deadbolts off of the fashion world and disrupt production of the beauty myth. In the early 1990s, the comely voluptuousness of celebrity makeup artist Sharon “Mama Makeup” Gault inspired designers to push her from backstage to the catwalk. The immortal look of club icon Leigh Bowery—with his form-malforming, anthropoid Jayne Mansfield-in-sequined-ski- mask garments—made such a deep impression on fashion that his unlikely influence is still occasionally seen in Missy Elliot videos, and on the runways of Gareth Pugh.

Eat your heart out, Leigh Bowery. Yesterday at Paris Fashion Week, Alexander McQueen presented a sculptural Fall 2009 collection that proved the designer is definitely still worthy of his reputation as fashion’s favorite enfant terrible. Theatrics were at an all-time high, and the clothes were exactly the kind that the aforementioned late NYC club icon would have approved. Models sported enormous red pouts that called to mind harlequin babies. And while the vast majority of individual pieces were distinctly wearable, combined with outlandish headgear and other unsettling ornamentation, the collection surely kept editors in attendance on the edges of their seats.

As front-woman for UK band The Duke Spirit, Liela Moss may channel Patti Smith for encouragement but remains wholly herself. And who is this Leila Moss? The pop-rock star has two successful albums under her belt, an official fashionista endorsement by Alexander McQueen, and she’s single-handedly making the harmonica sexy again. But there’s more to this beautiful talent then her lofty achievements. A powerful female force, Moss is playing her cards as they lay with an elegance borrowed from California’s Joshua Tree and an unwavering enthusiasm to stop and wonder why.

A quick Google search on you brings up the word “muse” countless times now that Alexander McQueen has crowned you his muse for his upcoming Target line. Who are your muses?
Musically I’ve been inspired by anyone from Bjork to Keith Richards to Bryan Ferry -- just fucking loads of brilliant musicians who also have a real feisty and wonderfully true authentic thing about their stage presence. Grace Jones. People who are really natural but really commanding as well. All my musical heroes are otherworldly and at times incredibly majestic, but there’s got to be something about that person that seems very real, very humble.

“A sense of utility pervades the Paris fall men’s collections,” the New York Times' Cathy Horyn writes on her blog today. There’s no doubt about it -- the work-wear theme has dominated men’s shows in Milan and Paris. And for good reason: With the economy in shambles, showcasing a slick, impeccably styled working man is something everyone can relate to (conceptually, that is). At Thom Browne, as I mentioned last Friday, it was all about carbon-copy office drones, who, despite their day jobs, gave the impression of harboring super powers under their slimly tailored suits. Now it's time to get even more outré with the proletariat.

Nylon has a first look at Alexander McQueen for Target, a line heavily inspired by the 80s -- a trend that is surfacing left and right for spring. But that’s not to say that altogether the collection isn’t infinitely wearable and fashion-forward. Leggings with zippers, a cobalt blue knit tunic, a shrunken black blazer atop cropped trousers as well as graphic tees printed with filmstrip-like stills of the collection’s muse (The Duke Spirit's frontwoman, Leila Moss) all play a role. The line likewise includes a handful of especially cute printed dresses -- tribal graphics adorn a pink shift and gray mini wrap-dress that are both perfect for spring. The real winners are a cutout bikini, a cropped loose-fitting leather vest that’s prime for layering, a short pleather trench, and a simple black jumpsuit that epitomizes work-wear chic (likewise a big trend for spring).
