J.Crew's Head of Women's Design Guzzles Ginger Ale
J.Crew showed its fall collections for men and women at Industria last evening, with a packed studio of editors tippling champagne while taking in the perfect new pants for the ladies -- creased, cuffed and color-saturated with a bit of sheen -- and polished studies in structured layering for men. Chic caught up with Marissa Webb, head of women's design, about the latest J.Crew wares, NoHo's finest sashimi and Tavi.
So Marissa, what's the most covetable piece in J.Crew's fall collection?
That's like asking to pick your favorite child! I don't think I can choose just one. In general, I'm loving the new pant silhouette. Plus the fresh colors we're offering-- I think I want every single pant in every single color.
Which luxe brands do you love mixing with your J.Crew staples?
My favorites tend to be pieces by Commes des Garçons, Phillip Lim or Lanvin. Or a Burberry jacket. It's tricky because it changes every season. There's always an item or two each season that I'm like "Oh! I need to have that!"
What's your favorite luxe edible?
I love sashimi, and I don't even think of that as a luxury food because I am so obsessed with it. I could eat sashimi three times a week.
What's one of your regular sushi spots?
I love Bond. That's my go-to restaurant. When you don't want to think too hard, head to Bond.
Favorite guilty pleasure food?
That's not a fair question, because that would take you a very long time to list all of them. I'm a junk food addict. I love hard candy.
Any regular vices?
I drink about six ginger ales a day, which is disgusting.
What are you reading right now?
I probably shouldn't say. It's a bit of an odd book. It's not gross or perverted in any way, but it's a psychological, twisted sort of a read.
Tavi is now rethinking fashion. Is she too young to become cynical about the industry?
It's natural to go through phases of becoming cynical about whatever you're entrenched in. But she is young, so tomorrow she'll be changing her mind. She has a long life ahead of her to figure out what fits her and makes her comfortable. When I met her recently, she was already questioning. She's got the time to find her way!

Now Presenting: Calvin Klein Fall 2011
Yesterday morning, Kevin Carrigan unveiled his Fall collections for Calvin Klein apparel and accessories, men's and women's Calvin Klein Underwaer, ck one Jeans, and ck one Underwear. (So it's a lot of work.) As usual—besides the X jean, which Chic tends to wear a little too often—there was a lot to like. For women, Carrigan offered loungewear-y silhouettes and textures that aimed to imitate the feel of skin, most memorably in a python blouse/pant combo. Drop-waist trench coats and textured accessories...OK, you just want to see the photos. Check them all out in our Gallery.

About Last Night: Anna's Enthralled
Designer Christian Cota clearly captivated Anna Wintour last night at Christie's. We've never seen her look more focused, engrossed. The dear chums were at Christie's for their Green Auction: Bid to Save the Earth event that included a runway show and a performance by Nicki Minaj.

Stacey Bendet Makes The List
Chic's very own Stacey Bendet is the only designer who landed on Crain's 40 under Forty list which celebrates some of the most accomplished in their fields under 40-years-old. The Alice + Olivia chief executive, 33, tells us, "No one would have guessed this when I was 21-years-old and rollerblading down Madison Avenue in striped pants on my cell phone." Her progress is pretty impressive. Bendet founded the company in 2002 and last year sales reached $62 million and are expected to top $85 million this year. Her company is also moving in to new 24,000-square-foot headquarters in the MePa later this year. Congrats, Stacey! We knew writing a Mommy and Me column for us was going to pay off for you.
