A Smorgasboard of Video Look Books for Your Mid–Fashion Week Slump
Normally on Wednesdays at Daily Intel, we treat you with a Video Look Book post in which we go on the street to videotape some of the fabulously dressed New Yorkers that surround us every day. It's an homage to Fashion Editor Amy Larocca's weekly "Look Book" in the print version of New York. But this week, we don't have one. That's because the Video Look Book has found a new home, on nymag.com's glamorous new fashion blog, The Cut. And it's been thriving there! Since Fashion Week started, the blog has hosted seven new Video Look Books. If you're missing your fix of people who dress (or think they dress) better than you do, click below to see the characters we've found this week. And while you're at it, poke around at The Cut and in all the rest of nymag.com's extensive online fashion coverage, including up-to-date slideshows and model and designer bios! •Chicago Shopgirl Flies In for Marc by Marc Jacobs •The Trend Forecaster Sees Bright Colors in the Future • Plum Sykes Exposes Fashion Week’s Cold Truth • Recent Fashion Grad Wants Wintour's Help • Rugby Ralph Lauren Designer Beats on Her Miu Miu Bag • Freelance Stylist David C.

It's no wonder she's the best-dressed freelancer-painter-musician on the block. Video Look Book [NYM Video]
