“America’s New Fashion Guard” receives the full Vanity Fair treatment in the September issue. We couldn’t help but notice a few surprises. First, Peter Som (an established designer who’s currently helming two of New York’s most talked-about labels) and Zac Posen (recepient of more press than our Vice President) are considered up-and-coming talent. Eh, maybe we’ve known them all for so long that we forget they’re not as ubiquitous as, say, Ralph and Donna. And on the Marchesa front, we see Georgina Chapman front and center, but Keren Craig is absent from the photo, and she’s not even mentioned in the accompanying text. We know Craig was recently married; could she have been on her honeymoon?
