[Alexander McQueen's final collection, completed a few weeks before his suicide last month, was revealed in Paris yesterday and today. The 16 outfits featured his trademark tailoring, attention to detail, and glamorous outlandishness.]

For the first time in awhile more designers are showing fur than not. No matter how many sit-ins PETA stages, how much red paint it throws, or how many naked celebrities it puts on billboards, our animalistic tendencies live on!

Here are some very old ladies weighing in on Oscar night fashion.

Remember last fall when Lindsay Lohan was named "artistic adviser" at fashion house Emanuel Ungaro and she put on a totally disastrous show featuring glittery nipple tassels and bare buttocks? Not surprisingly, her career as a designer is over. [Reuters]

The Academy Awards have become more about the clothes and less about the awards themselves. Too bad all the ensembles are bland creations some stylist picked out. It's time to free ourselves from the tyranny of the Worst Dressed List!

The prickly editor of Vogue likes to start her meetings early, and kneecap you if you show up on time. So says Anna Wintour documentarian R.J. Cutler in his Huffington Post diary about filming The September Issue:

She would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that pesky TRAP DOOR!

A coroner says that fashion designer Alexander McQueen, who died last week at the age of 40, committed suicide by hanging himself in his wardrobe. He also reportedly left a suicide note, the contents of which haven't been revealed.

It looks like Microsoft is trying to make key executives look younger and cooler with new clothes and haircuts. This is certainly one way to try and unseat the iPhone and PlayStation among college kids.

The thing about Tavi Gevinson is: She's only 13 but she is already a famous and controversial fashion blogger. Last night, Tavi swooped into a Fashion Week party and we were able to talk to her for 1.5 minutes.

A true innovator, Alexander McQueen will be remembered not only as a fashion designer but also as an auteur of the runway. Here's a collection of his best women's ready-to-wear moments from 1999-2009. Fashion week will miss you, McQueen.

Alexander McQueen's death has inspired an outpouring of tributes from the fashion world. (Also, thanks to Kate Moss, we learned his real first name.)

Fashion Week isn't just taking place in Manhattan. It's Queens Fashion Week, too. Or at least it was until yesterday when the snowstorm hit and organizers decided to push it back to next week instead. Which is actually not such a bad thing since you really can't expect Anna Wintour to be in Bryant Park and at the Holiday Inn in Long Island City at the same time, can you? [NYDN, NYP]

In a tragic start to New York Fashion Week, supremely talented 40-year-old British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead today at his apartment in London. He reportedly committed suicide.

Just a few years after Time declared you the person of the year, the fashion industry has realized that we live in a new age of egalitarianism. Thus, some major Fashion Week shows will be streamed live on the internet.

Marc Jacobs, the prancing prince of fashion week, is spouting off about how his show is "not going to have celebrities," because they're "boring." Sorry, Marc, but that is bullshit. You are too reliant on stars to quit them now.

Georgina Chapman is one-half of the duo behind the fashion label Marchesa. She's also married to movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, but it's not as if he had anything to do with the fashion house's success over the past few years. He didn't. It was simply the product of "passion and skill" on the part of Chapman and her partner, Keren Craig.

Two reasons why Fashion Week may not be quite as exciting when it begins on Thursday: 1. The snowpocalypse (which begins tonight and is expected to last through tomorrow night) will likely leave lots of slush in its wake and make navigating the city in heels extremely unpleasant; and 2. MTV's decision to clamp down on appearances by the cast of Jersey Shore may mean that you won't get to see Snooki sitting front row next to Anna Wintour, after all.
