Proenza Schouler Show More Fun Than Your GYN AppointmentProenza Schouler moved uptown to the magnificent Park Avenue Armory this year, and their fans came with them. We spotted the usual cadre of interchangeable blonde fashion editors, a sprinkling of socialites (including Aerin Lauder and avowed Proenza lover Jessica Joffe, who was wearing the same outfit she had on at the 11 a.m. Sari Gueron show scandale!), and, of course, Anna Wintour, this time with daughter Bee Shaffer in tow.

The Latest Accessory: Children
If top editors make trends, then it’s time to get pregnant. At fall shows, the only thing Anna Wintour is holding tighter than fur coats is her shiny-haired daughter, Bee Shaffer. The Europeans are also in step, as French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld has been spotted all over town with her party-hopping daughter, Julia. And it’s not just daughters who are being shown off; Cathy Horyn of the New York Times has been toting her son, Jacob, around. This trend is sure to stick: Youth never goes out of style.

Bold-Name Desperation Outside the French Vogue PartyHow exclusive was French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld’s Saturday-night party for the young swans of fashion, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Bee Shaffer, and Margherita Missoni? Too exclusive for us. But the scene outside the velvet ropes at the Gramercy Park Hotel might have been as entertaining as the one inside.
