More insider news from New York Fashion Week

She was actually front row at Oscar de la Renta at 1pm and then filming backstage for her new reality TV show when the Halston show kicked off around 2pm.

Why? Is the question the whole of New York has been asking. Has she been sacked? Today the official answer came from the Halston office. ‘Due to conflicting schedules Ms Zoe was not at the show. She had nothing to do with the catwalk collection. She consults Halston on matters of celebrity dressing and red carpet events and plays no part in the creative process.’ So there we have it! Miaow...

Agyness Deyn, who told us after yesterday's Rodarte show that she just wanted 'all of it', has her whole family here in NY from Manchester. And while our Aggy is at the shows, she’s walked for Michael Kors, Rodarte and Oscar de la Renta already, her mum is at home cooking all her favourite dishes including hearty soup. But, as Agyness' sister reveals, when the Deyn's arrived here this week, there was not so much as a frying pan in Aggy's East Village apartment, so her mum has had to go out and buy pots and pans for the Brit model who is now living in Manhattan. With a schedule like Agyness’s, were glad she’s being looked after.

As you may have heard, yesterday was Super Tuesday here in America, when the whole country votes for the next presidential candidates. Naturally, everyone at Bryant Park had something to say about the votes, which are still being tallied today. Backstage, Oscar de la Renta revealed who he’ll be voting for, and dressing, should she win in November. "Hilary is a good friend of mine. If she wins the election I would like to see her in a strapless gown". You heard it here first.
