In particular fun are items in the new TRON collection, existing at Disney Store locations. For men, the TRON line comprises snowboards and snowboard boots, sportswear, surfwear and sleek eyewear. For women, futuristic-looking TRON stilettos and handbags.

And the Noir Cuff from the Fantasia line has a Halloween-ish vibe, don’t you imagine?!

Autumn is in the air and we’re seeking to the stars to see what’s hot in fall fashion!

Celebrity kids often end up in artistic fields, with acting, singing and modeling taking top honors. Though, unlike their parents many of them have right to use to these careers at much younger ages. Which begs the question, are the kids too young to be uncovered to these kinds of careers or, do they have a stronger support system as their parents have experienced everything first hand?

Sometimes, the planets d0 not align unexpectedly. This past weekend was one of those times I’d been appearing forward to the rand-finale runway show of Harriett’s Park Avenue Fashion Week for ages and at the last minute had to be out of town.

Remember that first year I which the runway show was seized outdoors and the heavens opened just as the first model stepped onto the runway.

And the second year, when we had a great big gorgeous tent to shelter us from the elements — all except the heat.

However last year, the air was cooled and the number of outfits was more tightly edited. But still afternoon and an evening of shows were too much of an excellent thing.

This year, by all accounts, the evening-only show was fast-paced, the models were lovely, the hair and makeup fantastic and — most prominently of all — the fashions amazing.

The above picture shot by the tireless Jack Edwards say it all. Glamour all up and down the runway — and sitting along with the runway, too and thanks to Harriett Lake, whose kindness helps keep Park Avenue fashion Week afloat and flourishing.

Katy Perry, Akon and model Adriana Lima in a $2 million fantasy bra are among the highlights intended for this year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

Other models likely on the runway comprise Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie-Huntington Whiteley, Chanel Iman and Candice Swanepoel. Missing from the lineup is Heidi Klum, who just parted with the brand.

The lingerie fashion show has become a holiday tradition of sorts, with many of the catwalkers outfitted in intricate, fanciful wings — and very small else — parading in front of elaborate sets.

The fantasy bra has become a signature, too: This one produced by jeweler Damiani features diamonds, sapphires and topaz.
