But despite the fact that helming a fashion label at the tender age of 23 would hardly have been his fate without the help of reality TV, Siriano, normally so full of sass, is now regretful about his decision to compete in the show: "It definitely gave me a platform, but for other young designers I would say, it's not the best way to go if you want to be a real, serious designer." Sounds like someone is struggling to reconcile designing and promoting for Payless with his glamorous boyhood dreams!

Michael Bloomberg may be willing to spend $45 million preparing Wall Streeters for careers in other industries, but it looks like some finance types are already branching out. Take the investment banker in Connecticut who says he'll "offer the highest quality lawn cutting service for less than what your scraggy, tattooed landscaper charged you last year." Not that he's at all bitter about it or anything. [Clusterstock]

News that won't be surprising to anyone: The art world is still steeped in gloom, as evidenced by the scene at last night's opening gala for the Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory. The benefit, which used to be sponsored by Lehman Brothers and be a riot of hedge funders dropping millions on pieces to add to their collections, was attended by the likes of Donald Marron, Steve Schwarzman, John McEnroe, Glenn Lowry, Agnes Gund, and Michael Ovitz, but still saw "meager" sales.

Click through for a recap of the shows, parties, and gossip you've missed at Fashion Week thus far.

Something called "All Headline News" was ripping off AP news stories with nary a change or credit. So the AP sued them! Yesterday a judge let the AP's copyright suit go forward. One problem:

Today we have a TV actor with a violent streak, a celebrity into "magic" things (drugs!), an actress begging and panhandling outside Fashion Week, and a secret marriage.

A picture deal may be all that stands between octo-mom and a foreclosure,just as a clue from daughter Bee is all that stood between Anna Wintour and a new Katy Perry album.

Did you know that Elle editor-in-chef Robbie Myers had a tiny part in Caddyshack when she was 18? It's true. ("The director, Harold Ramis, picked me out of the crowd. I had a very small role, but it was a huge hit at college parties," she says.) Were you aware that Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter appeared in Alfie? Or that Richie Rich made a cameo in Zoolander? Fashion Week Daily went digging for some little-known (and occasionally embarrassing) performances by members of the fashion/media elite. You can see the full collection by clicking on the photo above. [FWD]
