L'Wren Scott Debuts Spring 2013 on Instagram

L'Wren Scott had originally intended to show her Spring 2013 collection in New York, and then she rescheduled that show for Paris. But the collection found its way to the public through a different means than a runway spectacle: over the past few days, Scott has been showing the world her newest designs on Instagram.

The looks here are classic Scott: elegant, feminine, and just a little bit over the top. There's an emphasis on dresses and skirts that fall just below the knee, and this season's stripes, lace embellishments, and sparkly finishes all make an appearance. Lots of plaid and floral prints made their way into the largely black, white, red, and deep blue collection, but our favorite pattern may be the jaunty zigzag that snaked its way down the front of a few dresses. It looks as modern as premiering one's designs with social media.

A look at the full collection here in the gallery.

How Will T Magazine Change Under Deborah Needleman?

Who Will Join Deborah Needleman at T Magazine?

Newly appointed T Magazine editor Deborah Needleman is settling into her office at The New York Times, and she's bringing some of her old staff at WSJ. with her.

Sources have confirmed to WWD that WSJ.'s creative director Patrick Li and fashion features director Whitney Vargas will join Needleman at T. Whether they will replace the magazine's current features director Jacob Brown and creative director David Sebbah remains to be seen.

Needleman had also reportedly been negotiating with the Times about her role before Sally Singer packed up her desk. Among her demands for the job were for T to have its own publisher, for printing of the magazine to be scaled back from 15 issues a year to 12, and to stop doing themed issues in favor of general interest issues that cover fashion and a range of other topics.

A spokeswoman for the Times wouldn't comment on these requests or the prospective new hires.

"It's her second day and she's focused on getting herself settled here. She's not ready to talk to the press and likely won't be for a while," the spokeswoman said. "Similarly, it's too early to talk about who might stay, who might go, who might join."

Be that as it may, Needleman told Daily Front Row before the Chanel show that she already has her first cover idea in the works — she's just keeping it a surprise.

This Again: Hedi Slimane Responds to "Catty" Horyn's "Silly Nonsense"

Hedi Slimane batted back against Cathy Horyn on Twitter once again Wednesday night, responding to her comment that his reaction to her critique of Saint Laurent's Spring 2013 show was "silly nonsense."

"The perfect integrity of The NewYork Times, and its writers, is not precisely 'just silly nonsense,'" Slimane tweeted. He continued, "What is a 'silly nonsense' to me is Catty [sic] Horyn still singing her tired bias tune for the nyt. This is an embarrassment for the newspaper."

The volleys started Monday, when Horyn wrote a post about Slimane's debut show for Saint Laurent (to which she wasn't invited), calling it "a nice but frozen vision of a bohemian chick at the Chateau Marmont. . . . Mr. Slimane's clothes lacked a new fashion spirit."

Slimane responded with an open letter Tuesday, calling Horyn "a schoolyard bully and also a little bit of a stand-up comedian." The letter continued to say that she would never be invited to a Saint Laurent show. Horyn told WWD on Wednesday that the war of words was "just silly nonsense to me."
