Exclusive First Look at Lincoln Center Tents, New Home to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Filed under: Fashion , News , Fashion Week Bigger, brighter and better is the promise of the new Lincoln Center home to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week , and StyleList has snagged the first tour of the premises in the above video. The evening before the official opening by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg , IMG Worldwide senior vice president and managing director Peter Levy led us through Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park , which the company has promised will move New York’s fashion shows firmly into the 21st century. And for those pining for the familiarity of the Bryant Park Tents , where the fashion flock first set up shop in 1993 with 35 shows and closed with over 70 shows during the Fall 2010 season, Lincoln Center’s larger floorplan, bigger venues and additional show spaces signal an obvious improvement over the midtown square

Beauty’s Emerging Green Packaging Trend Bids Goodbye to Plastic Bottles

Filed under: Beauty , News , Makeup , Skin & Body Photo: Getty Images Beauty is beginning to say so long to old-school plastic. Two of the industry’s biggest players — Whole Foods and Procter & Gamble — are passing new regulations for sustainable and recyclable packaging that are causing a growing rumble in the marketplace, where other brands are beginning the shift to using renewable materials. The new Whole Foods regulations go into effect this month, and mandate that suppliers use packaging materials that are easily reused or recycled, are non-toxic, and that they switch from plastic to glass when possible

Well, this is awkward: Snow warning at TIFF?

This could get ugly. My colleague Martin Knelman reported last week that Michael Snow, Canada's eminence grise of conceptual film, had sued the developers behind the construction of TIFF's Lightbox (and, ahem, condo tower) for breach of contract over a work he says was commissioned for the building. The developers, Daniels Corp., have replied they have no such contract with Snow (Snow's lawyer acknowledges there's nothing in writing, though he argues an “exchange of considerations” is legally binding.”) Slightly old news, perhaps, but when you think about it, it's a wily bit of PR on the part of the Snow Camp

NASA Helps with Chilean Mine Collapse
