Loose Threads

• The preliminary schedule for New York Fashion Week has been released.

• V magazine featured a collage of Lady Gaga's fans dressed up in their little monster finest.

• Rodger Berman on his marriage: "Nothing makes your station in life more clear than when a stranger hands you a camera while he poses with your wife. But I'm proud to say I can now add amateur photographer to my growing list of secondary occupations, which also includes valet, personal assistant, and publicist. While being the husband of überstylist Rachel Zoe lets me waltz confidently into fashion shows with Rachel by my side, the VIP treatment usually stops there. Any delusions of grandeur are interrupted by the words 'Excuse me, sir, you're in my seat.'”

• Natalia Vodianova is training to run the Paris Half Marathon this March in order to raise money for her charity, the Naked Heart Foundation.

• Thanks to a crackdown from the New York City Health Department, most baristas are now required to cover their heads. This is fine for hat lovers, but those who aren’t used to the style must struggle to find their true hat identity.

• Loewe stuffed some of its bags with explosives and then blew them up for the brand’s latest promotional video.

• Terry Richardson shot Lindsey Wixson and Paolo Anchisi for Opening Ceremony’s latest look book.

• After withdrawing from Japan in 2009, Versace is making plans to open stores there again. Versace CEO Gian Giacomo Ferraris said, “In 2009, our exit was determined by a presence that was not in line with the brand's criteria, but our goal was to return soon and to play a protagonist role, with a presence in the best department stores, with appropriate collections, with the right product, and a distinctive and consistent positioning."

• Susan McGalla was named the new CEO of Wet Seal, succeeding Ed Thomas.

• Snooki makes over an 11-year-old girl in "You've Got Snooki," her web video series.

• The Row is rumored to be showing in Europe again.
