So what was all the fuss about? Well, the brand's signature t-shirts were marked down to $75 (from $250); cardigans were discounted to $100 (from $690); and pants slashed to $150 (from $750).

Figueras, who spends his days playing polo for the Black Watch team and posing for Ralph Lauren's Polo Fragrances, will appear on the season premiere, which airs Sept. 14.
I caught up with the hunky Argentine to gossip about the gig (his first TV role), which he filmed this month.
When I interviewed Chung back in May, the Brit hadn't yet decided what she would wear for her show's first episode, which aired on Monday. What Chung ultimately selected -- an oversize button-down from Kova & T, Les Chiffoniers black leggings and studded gladiators -- is now itemized on the show's Web site.
Well, almost all of it is: The Snuggie Chung donned during a segment with Jack Black is missing.

Coco Rocha with her cousin Erika Campbell
On Sunday, a newly raven-haired Coco Rocha wrangled 20 of her fellow models from the Elite agency in Canada to board a bus from her native Toronto to the sleepy town of Barrie, Ontario for the Runway for Ride fashion show.
The show, which also featured non models like members of the local fire department, benefited Sears National Cancer Ride, a charity for children battling cancer.
Rocha says she was inspired to organize the fundraiser after her 11-year-old cousin Erika Campbell told her about a friend's bout with a rare form of leukemia. "I wanted to get involved by doing what I do best," said the catwalker, who helped the event rake in over $10,000.
