We love our commenters - all of them - and have been looking for the best way to maximize your voice. So we want to give you a heads up that we’re about to change our commenting system. It’ll happen soon, perhaps as soon as tomorrow.

If you’ve already created a user name, you’ll want to pay attention and, as quickly as possible, annex your user name on Disqus. (You can go here to register.) We’re changing because your comments are an integral part of the site - and we want you to be heard.

You might ask why we’re changing systems. The great thing about Disqus is it allows your quips to buzz around the Internet. Your comments can automatically republish on Twitter, Facebook and several popular blogging platforms— only if you want them to, of course. And Disqus conveniently allows you to log in with your Twitter, Facebook or OpenID accounts.

It’s a better showcase for what you have to say, and Disqus better organizes conversation and threads. So rather than call out commenters by their numbers, you can actually reply directly to their points. It’s ultimately less confusing and makes for better debate. (You can also “like” comments.)

There’s haute couture, haute joaillerie and now, thanks to Cartier, haute parfum.

The Les Heures de Parfum collection, created by in-house nose Mathilde Laurent, is a flight of five fragrances, each named after an hour in the day. Britt and I got a chance to visit the Cartier mansion this morning for a tutorial with Laurent on how each parfum, which retail for $250 a piece, was conceived.

I liked L’Heure Promise, a mix of petitgrain, iris and sandalwood. Britt preferred Folle, a berry scent inspired by Cartier’s 1920s fine jewelry collection called Tutti Frutti. We both thought Brilliante—a mix of lemon gin—was indeed, brilliant. The two more intense fragrances—Le Treizieme and Mysterieruse—were a little too much for our olfactory senses, yet we’re confident they’ll appeal to others.

But forget about the way these actually smell for a minute. The compelling thing about this collection is that, like haute couture houses use the same sewing techniques year upon year, Laurent incorporated techniques in her blending that have been used for centuries, taking cues from the likes of Guerlain and Chanel.

On February 25, MAC is launching what one might call high-def makeup for the masses. It’s called Tabloid, natch.

A friend of mine who writes about television—and is on TV quite a bit herself—has been waxing on about how high-definition makeup is the future of the beauty industry for years. While companies like MAC have created high-def collections in the past, they’ve always been marketed to makeup artists, not regular people.

If new shoes and extra caffeine won’t put you in Fashion Week mode, Taxi TV will.

Jason Wu popped up on screen last week, and even when you mute the mini-screen it’s hard to miss Kim Kardashian’s-hanging-from-a-swing fragrance commercial, and despite fashion overload, it’s the only time of year we don’t mute Taxi TV.

Last season Cynthia Rowley debuted a short film and this season, Alternative Apparel’s airing their new video.

“I Kind of Love You” was shot in Laurel Canyon, but it’s inspired by French pop culture circa 1960 - more specifically the romance between Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin.

The film will show off Alternative Apparel’s spring collection of cotton basics, which - unlike the shows you will have just seen - you won’t have to wait six months to buy.

Liberty of London is wild about collaborations.

In 2009, the famous textile merchant partnered with Nike, APC and Hermes, amongst others.

And this year, we’ve already told you about Liberty of London’s partnerships with Nicholas Kirkwood and Target for Spring 2010. They’ve also done a makeup collection with MAC and now, a range with Milan concept boutique 10 Corso Como. The collection features the retailer’s iconic ‘Ianthe’ print as reinterpreted by artist Kris Ruhs.

We know that collabs are the “thing to do” right now. But why the gargantuan push into other markets?

New York Fashion Week layers its shows one over the other with anywhere from three to five shows in a single time slot, but London’s perfectly organized with one show each hour.

What they fail to allot time for are the exhibitions, pop-ups and creative experiments that take over London during its Fashion Week.

We’ve already made mental notes to check out Liberty’s Carnaby Street celebration and Notting Hill’s Wolf & Badger — and Selfridge’s Nicholas Kirkwood collection’s always a must, but now we’ll have to plan a trip to the St. Martin’s Lane Hotel for Self-Service 1-31.

Yesterday it was revealed that Lanvin backer Ralph Bartel is also an investor in the business of shoemaker-turned-ready-to-wear-designer Devi Kroell.

Will Bartel make an appearance at Kroell’s February 15 presentation to show his support of the label, which opened a new Madison Avenue storefront last fall? It’s unlikely, given the Travelzoo founder’s reluctancy to talk on the record about his relationship with the brand.

Yet there’s no denying that the fashion industry’s acquisitions market is finally heating up after a three-year freeze. That means you can bet on plenty of other investors lurking around the tents this season. Here’s who we hope to see:

This season’s invites range from boring cardstock to controversial military medals and as usual, our favorite comes via Band of Outsiders.

They sent out their dreamy Polaroid late last week and it looks like the perfect escape from all the madness.

So far, the other winners include Mulberry’s glittery invite and a little notebook from Ports 1961 with a pack of rosemary seeds.

Rachel Antonoff sent a page ripped from a book with her presentation’s info highlighted among the words and while Abigail Lorick’s invite wasn’t mind blowing, we loved the silhouette sketched on the card.

Other than that, most invites look the same as last season, or even less exciting, so here’s hoping the shows themselves are mind-blowing.

It’s not everyday—well, at least not my everyday—that people I know are on a reality TV show. I’ve never watched The City, and the only other time someone I know made an appearance on a reality series was when my friend Jenny auditioned for Popstars.

So that’s why it’s a bit surreal to watch Kell on Earth. Sure, I’m not best friends with Kelly or Emily or Stephanie, but I do know them all fairly well, and I’ve lived through a lot of the stuff that the show is documenting.

Balenciaga’s just released their first fragrance in twelve years, Balenciaga Paris.

The scent, which is powdery, light, and perfect for someone who doesn’t want to smell like they’re wearing perfume, launches at Bergdorf Goodman on the 15th.

We expect Charlotte Gainsbourg’s Steven Meisel-shot campaign to pop up everywhere this spring, but for now, you can watch Nicolas Ghesquière talk about his process. The bottle, which will remain the same when they roll out new scents, is inspired by the classic Balenciaga silhouette. Ghesquière imagines a woman setting it down amongst her things to create an Irving Penn-like still life and he chose Charlotte for her “oddity…and bizarre beauty.”
