Remember back in January when Times fashion queen Cathy Horyn tore Vogue to shreds, calling it "stale and predictable," among other things? Well, if you should happen to ask Vogue's Sally Singer what she thought of the piece, keep in mind she has an airtight excuse that will allow her to duck out of answering the question. "I was in India when Cathy's piece came out, so I didn't read it at the time." Good one! Oh, and if you're wondering what it's really like to work for Anna Wintour, Sally will have you know that it really is a bed of roses. "She's fantastic because she's clear. The thing about Anna that's so good to work for is she knows what she wants." And here we were thinking Anna was a timid, cautious woman full of self-doubt!

Here are some images from today's New York Fashion Week events. We have eye makeup and Anna Wintour and the always-demure Paris Hilton. Enjoy the small gallery after the jump.

A recap of the shows, parties, and gossip you've missed at Fashion Week thus far after the jump.

Rachel Dodes, the Wall Street Journal reporter who Anna Wintour seemed to diss in a weekend interview, said she wasn't offended to be told "we had a little sequined thing that wouldn't come down to here on you [points to chest.]"

If Obama is a president for the people, why the hell is White House social secretary Desiree Rogers at Fashion Week today, nestled between Vogue editor Anna Wintour and her fashion editor Virginia Smith?

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld has a problem, the Gothamite daughter of Carine Roitfeld said in a Page Six Magazine video: being "over-the-top sexy." She fixes this with punky outfit flourishes.

In today's Anna Wintour image rehabilitation news, the Vogue editor is reportedly filmed at yet another charity ball and gives the WSJ an interview. But she called the reporter huge. Whoops!

Just as we try shattering everyone's hopes about landing that editorial dream job, mythical Vogue editor Anna Wintour goes looking for some new assistants! This is the launching pad to success, right? Ha.

You were thinking there weren't any jobs left in media? Think again! Two of Anna Wintour's three assistants are reportedly heading out the door and Anna is looking for replacements. "Some experience in fashion or media is good." Indeed. [NYM]

First Lady Michelle Obama will be featured on the cover of the March Vogue, photographed by (sigh) Annie Leibovitz. Because she's a new fashion icon, of sorts.

We'd love to believe Vogue's editor personally styled singer Adele for the Grammys out of the goodness of her heart (humor us). But Anna Wintour is nothing if not strategic.

McDonald's is providing the "official coffee" of New York Fashion Week in a bid to boost its image among fashionistas. Fat chance. But it will probably do something to Fashion Week's image.

When Bryant Park Corporation tried to evict New York Fashion Week in 2006, Anna Wintour wrote to the mayor; the alternative, Lincoln Center, was said too small. Funny how a recession can change things.

Cityfile today publishes a long post saying, essentially, that the ongoing rumor war between Anna Wintour and Conde Nast is the product of both sides using the media during tough contract negotiations. Let's look back:
