>> INSIDER WIRE —Azzedine Alaia, The Row, and L'Wren Scott are all notoriously press-shy but hold some of the most exclusive Fashion Week presentations; the latter, formerly known as Luann Bambrough, sat down last week at Barneys to talk shoes (she designed her first pairs to be available for Fall 2009), designing jewelry ("I like to buy vintage diamonds and create my own shapes. In the future, I’d like to make jewelry and sell it under my own name"), and how her own dresses escape her ("I love that dress. But it sold so well, I didn’t get to keep one! I’m the last person to get my clothes! Most of my favorite pieces, I don't own!"). [The Daily Beast]
