>> Over the upcoming Labor Day weekend, David Lauren and Lauren Bush — who recently celebrated their engagement party in the Hamptons — will marry at his father Ralph Lauren's 17,000-acre Colorado ranch. The bride is expected to wear a Ralph Lauren wedding dress (David's sister Dylan Lauren wore a bridal gown designed by their father for her own wedding in June).

200 guests are expected for the festivities, which will include a picnic and softball game on Saturday, a rehearsal dinner Saturday night in Telluride, and the wedding ceremony Sunday, followed by a rodeo on Monday. A source told the New York Post, “The dress code for the wedding is black tie with a Western twist, which fits in with the romantic surroundings and both families’ American roots.”

Bush's grandparents, George H.W. and former First Lady Barbara Bush — currently at Walker’s Point in Maine — will not attend, a rep confirmed, while a spokesman for her uncle, George W. Bush, would not comment on if he and wife Laura will attend.

Bush is expected to take her soon-to-be husband's name; she recently told Harper's Bazaar: “I think it will be Lauren Bush-Lauren. I am sort of old-fashioned in that way"

>> The "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" exhibit at the Met's Costume Institute, which set attendance records and was extended — by both days and opening hours — until the museum couldn't extend it further (the galleries it was housed in needed to be turned over for a new exhibit), is likely headed to London.

McQueen released the following statement after a petition to bring the exhibit to London was mounted: "Alexander McQueen appreciates the huge amount of interest the public has shown towards the Savage Beauty exhibition. We have been in discussion with a number of major venues in London for some time now, however nothing has been finalized. Please be assured that an official announcement will be made the moment we confirm our plans for London."

The goal is reportedly to show the exhibit in London in 2013, for the label's twentieth anniversary.

>> Raf Simons lives alone in Antwerp — although he is obligated to spend almost 110 days a year in Milan, working on Jil Sander — but it sounds like he is considering a move. Berlin and New York are both prospects, with New York the frontrunner because of its art world connections and because he prefers it to Berlin, Simons says. "In this business, I know I could work somewhere else one day," he adds. "But I'll always keep this apartment [in Antwerp]." There were recently unconfirmed rumors that Simons may be collaborating with Kanye West on his impending line; no word as to whether such a collaboration — if the rumors are true — might prompt such a move.
