For emerging fashion designers, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize is a key to the kingdom. Last year, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, along with Vogue magazine, presented the award to French designer Joseph Altuzarra. As part of his prize, that kingdom includes shelf space at J.Crew. On Thursday, a small collection of Altuzarra clothes debuted on the preppy retailer’s online store. The clothes will arrive in stores on Monday. Read full article > >

By now everyone with a passion for brightly colored cardigans and pencil skirts knows Jenna Lyons is the mastermind behind the revitalization of J.Crew. The president/creative director has sufficiently sold the world on the idea that mass market has its place in fashion, as the Post’s Ned Martel noted after the company’s first appearance during fashion week in September. Her use of bold colors and quarky combinations somehow seem accessible to all women, and have become the new calling card of the brand. Read full article > >

Little Monsters, rejoice! Pop superstar Lady Gaga will visit the White House Tuesday to discuss anti-bullying initiatives with member of the Obama administration. President Obama was not home to meet the fashion icon—he was in Kansas on Tuesday afternoon to give a major economic speech, so Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) met with staffers from the Office of Public Engagement to discuss how to end bullying, which the administration has said affects 13 million U.S. students.

Kate Krader ( @kkrader on Twitter ) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to get our grub on, we listen up. Let’s take a holiday quiz. Casseroles are ________________ (fill in the blank). A: The best thing about the holidays; a 9-by-13-inch baking dish is the world’s greatest piece of cooking equipment B: The punch line to almost any joke C: Both A and B While you consider the psychological implications to your answer, here’s a look at some major advances in the casserole world. Casseroles (The Restaurant) Yes, there’s an entire restaurant devoted to the genre. And yes, it’s in Atlanta. As the name suggests, the 6-month-old spot will put just about anything in a casserole including their version of the classic green beans & fried onion dish (warning to anyone who is devoted to the all-can version: Casseroles specifically notes that they use fresh green beans and housemade creamy sauce). And they know how to celebrate the holidays. Their Thanksgiving Casserole layered whole berry cranberry sauce with stuffing, roasted turkey and gravy. Casseroles (The Record Breaker) If you’re a casserole lover looking to break a record, you have a hefty challenge on your hands. Rob Blatt tasted 30 casseroles in one minute in Brooklyn in October 2010. And if you think the term ‘casserole’ might have been used loosely, think again. The rules were as follows: each casserole must be baked; each casserole must contain two main ingredients and a binding agent; must taste at least one spoonful of each. How many of your casseroles pass that test? Casseroles (The Party) Where would Rob Blatt have found 30 casseroles to taste in one minute? At the Crazy Casserole party, hosted by Emily Farris, at Brooklyn’s Brooklyn Kitchen. (I bet you didn’t figure Brooklyn to be casserole central.) Farris is well qualified to throw this party: she literally wrote the book on the subject, Casserole Crazy , in 2008. Casseroles (The Fashion Statement) Austin’s Casserole Queens , Sandy Pollock and Crystal Cook, might have lost the chicken pot pie war to Bobby Flay on his Throwdown show. But they still have a newly published cookbook, The Casseroles Queens: Put Some Lovin’ In Your Oven, and huge love for all the kitschy connotations that casseroles might evoke. They even have a retro polka-dotted dress named for them: the suggested accessories are a vintage apron, kitten heels and a golden pendant. Casseroles (The Scariest) I’m sure many people have their own horror stories to tell, and I’d love to hear them. In the meantime, please appreciate what Paula Deen did when she combined bananas, ham, bacon, cheese, potato chips, white bread, eggs, heavy cream and butter to make her Cheesy Ham and Banana Casserole .

Paris was burning. The city of light seemed ablaze, at least, with temperatures approaching 90 degrees. The threat of unsavory sweat rings forced the fashion industry to amend its season-strict wardrobes at Paris Fashion Week . Attendees abandoned fur flourishes intended for front-row displays, replacing them with (gasp!) resort collections. Read full article > >

When Fashion Designer Betsey Johnson was diagnosed with breast cancer she refused to tell anyone other than her daughter Lulu. She was convinced that the news would destroy her career. Now, twelve years later, Johnson proudly tells anyone who will listen. During October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, she’s holding in-store parties and selling breast cancer awareness products like “I’m a Survivor” T-shirts, silver-and-hot-pink tote bags, hot-pink panties and “We can do it” socks.
