>> Take a cue from Givenchy, Stella McCartney, and 3.1 Phillip Lim: A hint of leather goes a long way for Fall 2011. Cold-weather classics in cozy wool and collegiate tweed get tough with the addition of patchwork panels, contrast sleeves, and a bit of downtown trim. Click through for 26 super-chic leather-accented pieces — from a collared Cushnie et Ochs blouse to a DKNY colorblock coat — all here, in the slideshow.

>> Yesterday's street style pack brought Natalia Vodianova in a white lace jumpsuit, Hanneli Mustaparta in a brightly-striped cape, and Miroslava Duma carrying an extra-large clutch. See all these looks — plus a couple of appearances by Alexa Chung — in the slideshow.
>> Color seeped into beauty looks at Issey Miyake and Viktor & Rolf — in the form of long pink eyelashes at the latter; Gisele Bundchen stuck her tongue out — more than once — backstage at Givenchy; plus, see appearances by Miranda Kerr, Erin Wasson, and Naomi Campbell as you flip through the latest backstage snaps from those shows, John Galliano, and Costume National.

>> Just a few short days after showing his Spring 2012 collection for Vionnet, Rodolfo Paglialunga has left the brand. “Rudy is a talented designer who has allowed us to restart a sleeping brand,” co-owner Matteo Marzotto said, noting that the decision was consensual. Marzotto added that he has big plans to further grow Vionnet and extend its product offering. Italian twin sisters Barbara and Lucia Croce have been tapped to replace Paglialunga, who joined Vionnet in February 2009. [WWD]
