“

Then it’s off to Poleci, a new store in the meatpacking district (perfect timing!), where I am struck by a young woman who has “She Don’t Look Back” tattooed between her shoulder blades... followed by a trek back up to 26th and Eleventh for ThreeAsFour, where we are crammed into a freight elevator and then stand around like a herd of sad overdressed cows in a dark room for about a half-hour. “It better be worth it,” someone mutters behind me and surprise, surprise, when we finally get in - it is. Medieval nuns in black and ivory glitter tunics tending bonsais set on mirrored columns! That’s how I want to greet the most fraught era in American history in 70 years!

>> Even icons aren't safe anymore. In late December, Village Voice laid off 30-year veteran and fashion writer Lynn Yaeger - she's since been picked up to blog for New York magazine during Fashion Week - and now, the Wall Street Journal has dismissed 23-year veteran Teri Agins as part of a decision to close its fashion and retail bureau.

The number of staffers has been reduced from nine to five - currently retained are columnist Christina Binkley and editor Lisa Bannon; the seven other employees - including Teri Agins, Rachel Dodes, and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, who generally writes the newspaper's must-read Heard on the Runway blog - have all been let go effective at the end of March and asked to reapply for the three remaining positions in the bureau.

We know, it's madness--sad but true, Lynn Yaeger was reportedly laid off from the Village Voice at some point yesterday. A New York mainstay, Yaeger is one of the most well-known journalists in the fashion industry. Her column in the Voice is always not only entertaining but educated--possibly because she's been with the paper for over thirty years. As Refinery 29 rightly points out...that's longer than we've been alive. Below, check out a gallery of Yaeger at the shows.
