You've got to love Fashionweekdaily.com (Disclaimer: We did some writing for the site a few years ago), the Dorian Gray of Web 2.0, who manage to do a decent amount of legwork on the sad fact that the fashion houses are quietly succeding in muscling The Gray Lady's Cathy Horyn. From Fashionweekdaily:

"A season later, Dolce & Gabbana’s ban on Cathy Horyn at its main collection show continues unwavering. The chief fashion critic of The New York Times confirmed this morning at Marni that members of the newspaper—namely herself and Guy Trebay—would not be in attendance at Thursday’s show (a Dolce & Gabbana spokesperson confirmed the news, adding that T: The New York Times Style Magazine had been invited, though offering no further explanation). Despite not attending last September’s show, Horyn then managed to review the collection sparingly by looking at photos. But not this time around: 'This season I won’t do that again,' she said. 'The collection will not be reviewed.' In New York, Horyn was likewise not invited to the Carolina Herrera show for two consecutive seasons.

"Not all the love’s been lost, however. The ban the fashion house placed on Style.com last season has been lifted."
