Little Molly Cake showed us something we weren't sure we wanted to see: Beyonce wearing those bizarre unwearable bondage shoes. 

WWD has reported that DKNY is another brand opting-out from showing at tents in Bryant Park this season. That said, DKNY has chosen to show off-site for many seasons and was not expected, the way it was for, say, Betsey Johnson, one way or the other.

DKNY's Spring 2009 collection, which was shown in the tents, celebrated the brand's 20th anniversary. A plethora of street-ready, trendy basics showed off Donna Karan's talent for chic fashion at a contemporary price point. Although we've never loved a sneaker with heels we did thoroughly enjoy the easy boyfriend blazers, silk jumpsuits, and statement necklaces. Right on trend and moderately priced... assuming the economy slightly improves by then, these pieces should sell by the arm-full.

Steven Sprouse, fashion designer, artist, and pioneer of 'downtown' culture is being celebrated by more than just the likes of Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton. Le Book is also honoring the late designer with a New York 2009 issue spanning his life's work. Le Book, which publishes issues once a year, dedicates itself to the creative history of Paris, London, New York and beyond. This year, in the New York 2008 edition, Narciso Rodriguez was celebrated while the London edition celebrated Vivienne Westwood and the Paris edition, Vogue magazine. Le Book has been in print for over 25 years. To pick up a copy of the Steven Sprouse New York 2009 edition, which spans seven hundred pages and costs $250, click here. 

The highly anticipated limited-edition Louis Vuitton for Stephen Sprouse collection has landed, called We Love Sprouse, and the offerings, bright and optimistic as they are, just might jump-start the economy. Well, we can hope. Check out the collection right here. 

Tommy Hilfiger has announced that he will be showing his Fall 2009 collection in the tents after a three-year hiatus from Bryant Park. Recently, Bryant Park mainstays Betsey Johnson, Carmen Marc Valvo, and Vera Wang have booked their runway shows elsewhere.

Obedient Sons & Daughters has launched an e-commerce site for their men's collection and the results are quite handsome. The brand has yet to launch women's but here's to hoping...check out their Spring 2009 men's and women's collection right here. 

Prestige beauty products are succumbing to mark-downs as shoppers are unwilling to purchase anything this season, without a discount. The only upside to this is that retail clerks won't have to get stuck working the returns line the day after Christmas.
