Blogging the Costume Institute's ‘Blog.mode’ Exhibit
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's "blog.mode" exhibit opens today, and to give you a sneak peek, we sent our Fabiola Beracasa to check it out. Click above to watch as curator Andrew Bolton explains how hooker boots from the twenties influenced modern fashion and why the controversial "Incubus Necklace" was impounded by police the first time it was shown to the public. blog.mode: Addressing Fashion [Video Archives] Update: You may be wondering, as we were, why the Costume Institute exhibition is actually called "blog.mode: addressing fashion." It's because the exhibit is interactive, and you can write about your reactions and inspirations at a "blog bar" in the museum. Mmm. Blog Bar. Sounds unhealthy and delicious.Posted 12/18/07 in Daily Intel : Show and Talk

Video: Barneys' Holiday Windows Revealed
Right about now, Barneys will be unveiling their legendary Christmas windows, and our own Fabiola Beracasa traipsed uptown to get a sneak peek. This year's theme is Give Good Green, and for it, Barneys creative director Simon Doonan invented "Rudolph the Recycling Reindeer." "The only sort of iconic visual associated with [the environmental movement] is the drowning polar bear," he told Fab. "Which wouldn't be very festive!" No indeed. Click above to see the windows, and hear Doonan explain why his Barneys staffers were gathering bottle tops from bars in the East Village and buying bottles from homeless people.

The Fab Life: Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show
New York fashion correspondent (and socialite extraordinaire) Fabiola Beracasa knows vintage. So we sent her along to the Manhattan Vintage Clothing and Textile Show to look at what's available and dole out some advice. "There's something sexy about plaid on a girl," Fab explains, checking out a cowboy shirt. Watch the video to see why you should shop for linens at antique shops and how to tell the difference between Chanel Couture and Chanel Boutique (it's easier than you think!).

Fabiola on Fashion: Dispatches From the European Couture Shows
With the European couture collections almost finished — Valentino will wind things up tomorrow with a show in Rome — fashion correspondent Fabiola Beracasa checked in with Daily Intel via BlackBerry last night. What follows are highlights from Beracasa's lengthy account of fabulousness — we're holding the rest back because we don't want to blind readers with too much of the lavish excess. So what did Fab learn this year? That even when you pack 28 dresses, you still forget the right one; that military outfits are hot; and that the power of Karl Lagerfeld's genius extends even to the weather. After the jump, her lessons from this season's runways.

What to Wear to Turks and Caicos
Behind closed showroom doors (and in the Santa Monica airport), designers have been showing off their resort and cruise collections the last few weeks. The lines are bright, colorful, and chock-full of obscenely expensive bikinis. We hit up the target demographic — Fabiola Beracasa and Byrdie Bell — to see what the ladies planned to buy for their next vacations.
