Don't Miss:

It’s a big year for fashion designers! Kenneth Cole, Dennis Basso, Tadashi Shoji, Kate Spade New York, and Yoana Baraschi all celebrate milestone decades in the industry in 2013—from 10, 20, and up to 30 years! Kate Spade’s Creative Director Deborah Lloyd (pictured with the brand’s stylist, Brad Goreski) thought her brand’s 20th year in business was a good time to be nostalgic. “When I came in the ’80s, driving into Manhattan and seeing that amazing skyline, I felt all the energy and the possibility, and that what this [anniversary collection] is about,” she told us. Inspiring! Click through to see how each designer celebrated his or her fashion birthday.

New York Fashion Week continues in Manhattan, and even some flurries (enough to get Marc Jacobs to bump his show) can’t keep the fashion from coming! Last night, Richard Chai LOVE made a case for purple coats, Heidi Klum celebrated Kenneth Cole‘s first runway show in seven years, and Vanessa Bruno brought Paris to New York.

Kenneth Cole kicked off his 30th anniversary year by staging his first runway show in seven years during New York Fashion Week last night. And this designer isn’t one to make a quiet re-entrance. With Heidi Klum, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Brooke Shields, and Armie Hammer all in the front row, he started the “urban liberation”-inspired show with a video saying “a lot has changed,” and “this show will embrace the intrusive nature of social media.” Well, he delivered—models walked with iPhones in hand and snapped photos of the audience during the finale. Plus, for every Tweet tagged with #kcrunway, Cole donated $1 to amfAR, the American Foundation for AIDS Research, which he chairs.

Each year since 1988, the super-glamorous amfAR Gala has marked the official kickoff of New York Fashion Week, and last night was the big ribbon cutting! Heidi Klum(in Michael Kors), amfAR chairman Kenneth Cole, and Janet Jackson were the night’s big honorees, and stars and designers alike both turned out to Cipriani Wall Street to toast to the recipients for their dedication to funding AIDS research. “Kenneth Cole, personally and professionally, has changed the lives of millions who have been affected by the virus,” Sarah Jessica Parker (in Maison Martin Margiela) said during her remarks on stage. “And most notably, he changed the minds of those who weren’t, by putting his heart and his soul into amfAR’s fight for the last three decades.” Click through the gallery to learn more about the event and see more star-studded Fashion Week parties!
