Good News/Bad News, Posen’s Sesame Street Offer, Sonia Rykiel’s Line H&M (In Just 9 States)…

First, the Bad News, because it’s pretty juicy today:

In a very Gossip Girl kind of story, two prep school students who were busted for hacking into computer systems to get their name on lists for Fashion Week are ratted out by a former classmate, who emailed Fashionista to say they’ve done it before, with front row photographic evidence. The last line of the anonymous email reads, “My best friend and I have a thing against [them] because they got shot by the Sartorialist before we did, and they live in Vermont.” Do yourself a favor and check out our list of Fashion Week shows available through livestream–they’re drama-free. [Fashionista]

An New York Times article about Zac Posen surmises his company isn’t doing so well and re-hashes a confrontation the designer had with Harper’s Bazaar editors, who once asked him to to pose in the mag with Sesame Street’s Count last spring. He declined. Apparently, that’s the kind of stunt you have to pull to be featured in the magazine if you’re a non-advertiser these days. [NYT]

Now, for the good news:

Gray hair is really popping up everywhere (and not just on your head), but Kate Moss, Tavi Gavinson, and now models at Cheap Monday in Sweden are going gray intentionally. [Refinery 29]

Sonia Rykiel (whose lingerie we loved from H&M) is coming back on February 20, available in a handful of states (AZ, CA, GE, IL, MA, NY, PA, WA and DC) with a line of cool classics like her signature sweater dresses. See the best underwear and Spanx shapewear to go underneath. [Nylon]

In a roundup of stars who sell fashion to the rest of the world, Sandra Bullock’s fashion Q rating is rising–at 45, she’s relatable, has a great body, and now (more than ever) designers are rushing to dress her for the Oscars in the  hopes they’ll reach target consumers. Even if we don’t end up buying her Oscar party dress, but we still love her nail polish. [WSJ]
