It was apparently a battle royale last night trying to get into the Marc Jacobs party. John Cameron Mitchell, Michael Pitt and Elijah Wood all had to fight their way into the most exclusive party of the night. Let's hope things don't get nasty at the Prada party, too. [The Cut] and [WWD]

Aside from the party itself, we wonder if Marc showed up in the skirt he wore for his runway bow after the show. What was he thinking? "It's about the joy of dressing up." Well played, Mr. Jacobs. [Material Interest]

Rumors are still flying that Thakoon started almost an hour late because of Kanye West (at left), but Thakoon Panichgal himself claims it was because of late models. I understand you have to maintain the respect of your celebrity clientele, but the fact that there are about, oh, 200 witnesses from the show that watched Kanye waltz in 57 minutes late seems to quash pretty much any excuse.

Maria Sharapova, who's been gallivanting around Fashion Week, is buddying up with Cole Haan to create casual sportswear looks for the label, 40 for women and 30 for men. Sharapova for men might seem odd at first, but, remember, she can grunt on the court with the best double XY's, so she might have something strong to offer. [WSJ]
