Master of Makeup: Peter Philips, the global creative director of makeup for Chanel, has created and sent numerous trends down recent runways. (You'll spot us in our Chanel tattoos this fashion week!) Here's a quick slideshow of how he became the world's most influential beauty source. {Style.com}

Rad!: The Rad by Rad Hourani e-shop is now open! Good news for fashionistas everywhere, bad news for our finances. {Rad by Rad Hourani via Jak&Jil}

Break Out: Do you have what it takes to be a model? Benetton is looking for new faces for their upcoming United Colors of Benetton F/W10 campaign. It's a global casting competition and anyone can enter! Winners will be announced March 18. {Fashion Gone Rogue}

What they fail to allot time for are the exhibitions, pop-ups and creative experiments that take over London during its Fashion Week.

We've already made mental notes to check out Liberty's Carnaby Street celebration and Notting Hill's Wolf & Badger -- and Selfridge's Nicholas Kirkwood collection's always a must, but now we'll have to plan a trip to the St. Martin's Lane Hotel for Self-Service 1-31.

Will Bartel make an appearance at Kroell's February 15 presentation to show his support of the label, which opened a new Madison Avenue storefront last fall? It's unlikely, given the Travelzoo founder's reluctancy to talk on the record about his relationship with the brand.

Yet there's no denying that the fashion industry's acquisitions market is finally heating up after a three-year freeze. That means you can bet on plenty of other investors lurking around the tents this season. Here's who we hope to see:

They sent out their dreamy Polaroid late last week and it looks like the perfect escape from all the madness.

So far, the other winners include Mulberry's glittery invite and a little notebook from Ports 1961 with a pack of rosemary seeds.

Rachel Antonoff sent a page ripped from a book with her presentation's info highlighted among the words and while Abigail Lorick's invite wasn't mind blowing, we loved the silhouette sketched on the card.

Other than that, most invites look the same as last season, or even less exciting, so here's hoping the shows themselves are mind-blowing.

So that's why it's a bit surreal to watch Kell on Earth. Sure, I'm not best friends with Kelly or Emily or Stephanie, but I do know them all fairly well, and I've lived through a lot of the stuff that the show is documenting.

The scent, which is powdery, light, and perfect for someone who doesn't want to smell like they're wearing perfume, launches at Bergdorf Goodman on the 15th.

We expect Charlotte Gainsbourg's Steven Meisel-shot campaign to pop up everywhere this spring, but for now, you can watch Nicolas Ghesquière talk about his process. The bottle, which will remain the same when they roll out new scents, is inspired by the classic Balenciaga silhouette. Ghesquière imagines a woman setting it down amongst her things to create an Irving Penn-like still life and he chose Charlotte for her "oddity...and bizarre beauty."

She's selective when it comes to freebies. "I realize that if every post of mine was talking about something I got in the mail, my opinion wouldn't be valued or as pure."

Outsiders are way too judgmental when it comes to how her parents handle her being absent from school. "My parents and I are the ones who know my school's absences policy, how my teachers feel about my missing school, and what my grades look like -- not anyone else."

If she's wearing a hat and it's blocking your view at the shows, ask her to remove it and she will. "If you happen to be sitting behind me and you'd like to be able to see, just ask."

Do you feel compelled to respond to Tavi's defense?

Lady Gaga is auctioning off her Gary Card-designed skeleton corset (shown) on the site. The money raised will go to Oxfam International, benefiting the victims of Haiti's earthquake.

The bid is currently at $5,000, which is $3,000 over the estimated value, but it's for charity, so keep bidding!

Think about it: Can you really put a price on lip-syncing "Bad Romance" in Gaga's own corset?

Last week, the couturier's New York Fashion Week show disaster was the center plot on the premiere of Kell on Earth, and now WWD reports that Vogue editor at-large André Leon Talley will wear a different custom-made Rucci cloak on each episode of America's Next Top Model Cycle 14, set to premiere March 10 on the CW.

The cloaks, which range in color and fabric but not in shape, were inspired by 17th-century Edo samurai tunics.

Will Rucci--who has long been praised for his high-sewing skills but rejected by much of the fashion media because of his unwillingness to follow current trends--finally get his chance to shine? We hope so.

So, if you want a hands-on internship that will teach you how to launch, merchandise, and sell a collection, this is it.

You must live and breath fashion and be ready to do the usual tasks like faxing, filing, and sample trafficking. You'll also be expected to assemble presentation boards and assist the sales associates in the showroom and at trade shows.

You should be available at least 2-3 days a week, preferably Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Knowing how to sketch is a plus, but not necessary.

You won't get paid, but you will get school credit if you need it, and there's the promise of free clothing and a ton of experience that's useful for a bright future in fashion.

If working in a showroom all day with beautiful clothes sounds like your fashion paradise, e-mail a resume and brief cover letter explaining why you're the right person for the job to sales@hotlineshowroom.com.

Most Coveted: Great, now we can't stop thinking about a YSL bag that doesn't even really exist yet. "Chyc" might be the worst name, but the shape and the color more than make up for it. {StyleFile}

The Juicy Bits: Donatella Versace talks models and ego. She wishes today's girls had more personality and looked less natural. We wish they had Cindy's hair. {Independent}

So Fresh & So Clean: Marc Jacobs has made an air freshener. It's a daisy chain, that smells like Marc's daisy fragrance, and you can buy it at Sephora. {Nylon}

André initially made a name for himself vandalizing French streets with graffiti; he later went on to open party dens Le Baron in Paris and Tokyo, the Beatrice Inn in New York, as well as many others.

He chatted with us about art, nightlife, and yes, fashion.

For the first time ever, you're showing work indoors - how does it feel?
This has nothing to do with my graffiti work. I've always drawn on my free time, but never really thought of showing it. This exhibition is just a casual thing, my friends at Colette offered to show my drawings in the middle of the shop and it sounded like a fun idea.

Its “hip” status has been seriously affronted by the rise of Shoreditch, Hoxton, Dalton et al. In other words, the gritty, mean streets of East London. But some, including us and the newly opened Wolf & Badger, refuse to give up on the quaint neighborhood. Consider the shop Notting Hill's own Dover Street Market, with an edit that's as interesting as Rei Kawakubo’s, but different.

While the words "concept shop" are getting to be as annoying as "pop up,"' we're okay with this one, which is an incubator of sorts. Talented and cash-strapped designers can rent a spot in the store for as little as £35 (about $55) a week, which buys them a black and white box to display their wares, and a Web site. The worries about retail space, marketing, sales and PR are left up to the duo behind the idea, Samir Ceric and Zoe Knight, who also mentor the designers.

I really, really liked the show, which "documents" the day-to-day workings of Verdi's successful business. But let me preface the rest of this post by saying: This isn't the Rachel Zoe Project, and it's definitely not Kell on Earth.

This isn't a show that's going to give you an inside look at the world of high fashion, but it is going to show you:
