If you aren’t all jazzed up about Fashion’s Night Out yet, the PSA, which just went live on www.vogue.com, should do the trick. With Diddy rapping, “Come on, let’s do it for the people, baby,” how could it not? Speaking of music, we hear that the Rodarte sisters have recruited the drag queen Justin Bond, a.k.a. Kiki of Kiki & Herb, to perform at their personal appearance at Barneys. It seems as if every square foot of the Madison Avenue store will be covered with designers, models, and showbiz types, but in particular we’re looking forward to catching the premiere of Coco Rocha’s “Fashionista” video, dropping by the Alabama Chanin sewing circle, and getting our copy of the new book Isabel Toledo, Fashion From the Inside Out, signed by the woman herself. For more details about the goings-on at Barneys and at stores across the city, click here.

The theme of the debut sale is “Revisiting the ’80’s,” and it features work from designers including Christian Lacroix, Yves Saint Laurent, Ugo Correani for Gianni Versace, and Karl Lagerfeld, who defined the decade that is fashion’s current fixation.

Michael Jackson’s death sent his fans on a buying spree—record stores have reported running out of Jackson albums, and almost three million downloads of the Gloved One’s singles had been recorded as of the end of last week. Fashion is feeling the Jackson effect, too. The Repetto shop in Paris has seen a huge uptick in sales of its Jackson jazz shoe, a pared-down patent leather loafer that comes in white or black. (Or ebony and ivory, if you prefer.) The kicks happen to be on-trend—loafers are staging a quiet comeback for Fall—and they’ll be all the moonwalking rage tomorrow, when Jackson’s funeral blows out L.A.’s Staples Center. White socks optional.

The Brits have Glastonbury; the Danes have Roskilde. Drummer-slash-designer Henrik Vibskov will be upping the festival’s fashion quotient this weekend with a pop-up store (I know, we’ve sworn them off, but this one’s different; it’s at a music festival!) that will sell “limited hand-picked samples from previous collections at friendly prices.” Runway darling Agnete Hegelund will be there—rain or shine. Her boyfriend’s band Mew is performing. “I’ll be wearing my least expensive clothes because they get totally dirty,” she explained. If they do, maybe she can snag some of Vibskov’s priced-to-sell designs.
