When the Kaiser speaks, everybody listens; the WWD CEO Summit was no exception. Karl amassed an entourage of attendees including SJP, Carine Roitfeld, Anna Wintour, and Stephen Gan. The industry elite listened as Karl and Bridget Foley discussed a wide range of topics, like hosting Chanel’s next Metiers d’Art show in Texas. Oh, Karl!

Attention! Attention! Today is the day that Vicky & Lysander, a new comedic web series, unearths another episode with the LOGO network. It’s our civic duty to share all the deets from the show’s creator that landed in our email inbox this morning. Take it away! The series (10, five minute long episodes) follows a deluded couple as they try to climb the social ladder of Manhattan.

After her unfortunate commando episode a few weeks ago, Anne Hathaway wore pants last night to the National Board of Review Awards in Manhattan. But not just any ol’ pair! Annie showed up in a three piece Hedi Slimane number from his spring 2013 collection, with a clutch by Jill Milan. Hathaway’s latest flick, Les Misérables, took home the Best Ensemble award at the event.

Last night in West Hollywood, W and Guess hosted a party celebrating film and fashion, at which Alexander Antebi of “Who is that guy?” fame gave his best Sharon Stone while stepping and repeating. Just who is Antebi? His Facebook page lists him as CFO (Chief funkadelic officer) at Conquistador. If any of our West Coast friends could explain what that is, we’re all ears!

Those Fabulous Beekman Boys seem to do it all! Not only did they win The Amazing Race, have a reality show on the Cooking Channel, and a line of best selling books, but now they’ve entered the comic book world. Introducing…Polka Spot: My Life in Pictures. The comic was co-written by Darren G. Davis, Michael Troy and the Beekman Boy himself, Brent Ridge.

Look what we have here, folks! Anna Wintour attended the Stella McCartney Fall presentation yesterday at 680 Park Avenue and got to have a little visit with Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Seinfeld. What fun! It’s not every day we see Jerry out and about in our neck of the woods…

Remember way back in 2010 when we asked if StyledOn was going to become the Facebook of fashion? Two years later, we are pleased to report that it’s more than a Facebook fashion stalking platform; it’s a bridge between consumers and brands.

Martha Stewart asking Marc Jacobs who his favorite porn star is? Indeed, that happened! Last night at the WWD Apparel & Retail CEO Summit opening night dinner at The Plaza, the domestic diva took to Twitter to ask her followers to submit questions for Jacobs and she went there. The crowd included Pamela Love, Olivier Theyskens, Proenza Schouler’s Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, Elettra Wiedemann, Yigal Azrouel, Eric Wilson, and Tom Florio as Bridget Foley facilitated a discussion with the evening’s keynote speaker. Some newsy items came up, as is the outcome of any heavily industry attended bread-breaking situation, non? To wit: Marc is working on a beauty line with Sephora, his all-time favorite designer dead or alive is Miuccia Prada, and he’s in negotiations with LVMH. But it was that porn question that intrigued the most. The answer? A retired “actor” named Eddie whose last name remains a mystery. Let’s file this away as things we didn’t quite need to know.

Hello, gorgeous! Laetitia Casta appears in the Reed Krakoff Spring campaign that the designer shot himself at the Academy Mansion in New York. Look for the ads to start rolling out internationally in March. Fun fact! The hair stylist on the shoot was Didier Malige, aka Grace Coddington’s main squeeze.

At last! Jason Wu’s exclusive line for Nordstrom, Miss Wu, has finally hit stores and the www. The line is more downtown-ish than we’re used to and takes on Wu’s vision of the modern gamine with a hint of sixties inspiration. The collection is also a wee bit more affordable than Wu’s regular line with prices ranging from $195 for a blouse to $795 for a leather biker jacket. Go on now! Have a looky!
