At Phillip Lim, We Guess We Can Be Your Fergie?

"Oh, my God," cried a slight girl carrying a huge silver bowling bag. "Is that Fergie?!" No, another girl answered, "she hasn't come in it. I just saw her outside." It was true: We had seen Mme. Fergs walking through the tents, practically joined at Diane Von Furstenberg's hip, with a modest entourage of twenty. "I want to go down and take pictures, but I'm scared!" squealed bowling-bag girl. But then she found the courage to whip out her digicam, and, inexplicably, point it at this very bleary-eyed blogger. She snapped a picture of us and dashed off. We should note: We look nothing in the least like Fergie. But in desperate times, perhaps people will simply take whatever they can get?
That said, we wish we had looked a little more put together. —Amy Odell
