Alek Wek and Iman celebrated the launch of her book Alek: From Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel at Socialista in New York City. Alek’s autobiography is the highly anticipated (at least by me) story of her life and path from Sudanese war refugee to London shampoo girl to one of the world’s most recognizable faces. If you read the book excerpt that appeared in the August issue of Vogue magazine, you know exactly how fascinating her story is. Just the short passage I read in Vogue made me immediately go and put it on my Amazon wishlist.

LA designers Grey Ant started the Fashion Week buzz a bit early. They kicked off a week in the tents with high style and high waists. Grant Krajecki rolled his history with high-waisted jeans into high-waisted trousers and slim cut pants. He then flipped the menswear inspired looks on their ear with very easy, feminine dresses. I’m dying over their dandelion-yellow tie dye shift.
