The crunchy-fresh show at Yigal Azrouel drew an impressive crowd. Clutching invites printed on cardboard, and press sheets printed on (what feels like) recycled toilet paper tubes, top editrixes and boho-luxe hip kids packed the Eyebeam Atelier on W 21st street to catch Azrouel's drapey, volumnious collection.

We spotted Julia Frakes, the diminutive college freshman and fashion blogger at Paper, perched in the front. Two rows behind the eighteen-year-old? None other than fashion giant Andre Leon Talley. Upstage? A break in rank? Did Andre not fit in the front? IS THIS EVEN A BIG DEAL? Your guess is as good as ours.

One section over sat a sleepy-eyed Cory Kennedy, who snapped her gum and batted her eyes throughout the show. She was the only one not to clap in the front row during the final walk.

Are the kids running the show now? How did the models feel about Miss Jay thumbs up-ping and thumbs down-ing after each pass? Why was Nate Berkus patting some bright young thing's lady thigh? Fashion is so mysterious! More importantly, where's the W lounge, and where can I get my free drink on?

Why hasn't Miss Jay been strangled with his own intestines yet?

I don't think it really meant anything. André loves Julia : http://teenvogue.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/08/26/bunny2.jpg
