- Also, Wintour has instructed Vogue staffers that they may only wear white, silver, or other "pale shades." Just like the colors of faces that she likes to see on her magazine's cover! [Fashion Week Daily]
- French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld and designer/Chanel creative director "Krazy" Karl Lagerfeld were both named to the Time 100 List, as influential members of the fashion community. Something about the way they both made fashion about "the street" or something. [Vogue UK]

- Uh oh: Seems the women behind the red carpet label Marchesa are having a bit of a tiff. While Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig used to be knows as the label's "co-designers", their titles have been changed on their website: Chapman is now listed as "designer" and Craig is noted as "co-founder."

Comments
Banishment from the Costume Gala? Gee, I thought Anna was gonna go more lenient and just have her kidnapped and tortured.
Also, Rachel Zoe has had some MAJOR work on her face. I saw her pre and post work, up close, at Fashion Week. No one goes from their entire face being wrinkly...to no wrinkles. Busted!
Hmmmm... Team Zoe or Team Wintour? How will I ever decide?
Keren Craig probably got demoted because she is not super skinny like Georgina.
SUCK ON THAT RACHEL ZOE!!!!
I despise Rachel Zoe. As a stylist, she was a total mean girl, and I completely believe all those stories about her bullying her clients into losing way too much weight. So when the Mean Girl Queen lays the smack down on her ass, I rejoice.
(I will return to hating Anna Wintour tomorrow.)
Vanessa Paradis is also the new face for my fist, as I've just announced plans to beat her up and steal her man.
@tashatakeadive: eh, either way, in the end, you'd end up on Team Souless Zombie. So it's kind of a moot point.
I didn't want to go ANYWAY! I'll be very busy eating this lettuce and sticking pins in my Nicole Ritchie and Anna Wintour voodoo dolls.
love, Rachel Zoe
@tashatakeadive: Usually, I use food as the tie-breaker, but in this case, I think you're screwed either way.
Wintour: 1 lb.
Zoe: 0 lbs.
@BeckySharper: As a stylist?
bitch is horrible every way you look at it, not just cause of her job.
Ha, ha, ha, Rachel Zoe is hideous, and on crack. More influential than Vogue because you dress C listers, I think not. Nice move, Anna.
my gawd that's an unflattering dress. Like a gnarly old cocoon she's crawled halfway out of.
@Meg: That was my deciding factor...Whoever lets me eat more
I love Estelle and Christian - it's a match made in artistic heaven!
Dang, I think I'm about 1/35 as pretty as Gisele - why didn't I make $1 million last year?
Of course Wintour would require everyone wear pale colors... god forbid you wear something slimming if you can't drop those few extra ounces everyone's pressuring you to drop!
Seriously though, I'd be screwed. Almost all my work clothes are dark neutrals. And does this rule apply after labor day?
@tashatakeadive: I'm pretty sure it's Team Anna then, have you ever read Jeffrey Steingarten's column? fucking rad.
@es-ki-mo: The line to knock her out, hide her in a closet, and steal her life is kind of long, I hate to tell you.
So, if I go to Steve and Barry's, can I get that huge hair twister Barrie Bradshaw was tripping around in?
I would totally wear it, too.
Once.
As a joke.
That no one would really get outside of Jezebel.
Never mind.
@tashatakeadive:
It's like Godzilla vs. Mothra. You can't root for either, so you just enjoy the craptacular battle whilst sipping a mimosa.
@ineffable.me: Well, yes. But I hate her more for doing damage to other people than just for being an asshole.
Dude, Karl Lagerfeld is totally street.
But how can you not love Rachel Zoe? She's the one responsible for every.single.celebrity's signature style! Enormous uninteresting sunglasses, strange maternity dresses, overprocessed bleached hair, and road-construction-orange skin--IT'S SO ON-TREND. What's not to love?
The Rogan for Target collection is also going to be sold at Barneys. Which is not Target at all.
Fashion misfit that I am, my first thought was, "Seth Rogan is designing clothes now? This multi-hyphenate bullshit has officially gone too far."
highest paid models : curvy, lingerie- bombshell-ish, pretty happy
most hated fasion "influcencerS" : stupid, too thin, probably envy everyone who enyjoys life and eats.
Ha!
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: it's only early May, after all, and much too soon for pastels. Her staff will be hideously unfashionable. I'm betting Anna wears something like fuschia so that she's the only color among them.
Re Rachel Zoe, her banishment is CRUSHING considering that Anna allowed Jessica Simpson to come last year.
My first thought when I saw this headline was "How did you find out their dress sizes?"
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: well you wouldn't be wearing work clothes, you would be wearing gowns. so that's probably ok.
@Bella_vina: amazing.
rachel zoe freaks me out, like really freaks me out... i know she weighs about 1/80th of what i weigh... but she still scares the bejeezus out of me.
This is a class argument! Rachel is a person from a trailer park in the view of the Devil who decides on the Met guest list.
*fashion , god I can´t spell today. I should have a glass of wine later. You here me, Rachel? Wine and cheese, it makes me happy!
@AmazonRedheadedUberVixen: Schlub Chic beats Zoe's Heroin Chic any day.
this explains the new 'artist's themes' on my iGoogle homepage. jezebel keeps me in the know. 'cause i totally haven't bothered to click on the link, or anything. i am that kind of lazy.
comments?
A big, haughty "ha ha" to Rachel Zoe and as always- Carine for the win. At leasts she does interesting spreads and keeps the magazine fresh and fashion forward. And she doesn't look like a little judgemental bird.
@Varina: Nor does she look like a 60-year-old shrew shrink-wrapped into a 34-year-old coke addict's body.
Umm eyelash combs have been around for decades right?
Ziz street, yes, I had a certain vision about ziz street. It was nozing before me, rien. A lane, yes? Sank you, zat is enuf time for you, n'est ce pas?
I love my eyelash comb(s). How is this new? How is it dispensable? I find it extremely handy, thank you v. much.
@Skinny Bone Jones: The only makeup I wear regularly is mascara, and I use my eyelash comb pretty much every day. It's as indispensable as my hairbrush! Clumpy mascara looks cheap and trashy, especially if it's the only makeup you've got on. TEAM EYELASH COMB.
I never got into those eyelash curlers though.
Why are we so big on Carine of French Vogue? Isn't she unapologetically in favour of ridiculous standards of thin-ness ie the enemy?
Some of those Google themes are pretty hideous. Most of the fashion ones are just busy busy patterns that make no concession to the fact that there is text on the page that you might actually want to read. Some of the more 'arty' ones are pretty cool. This one's my favourite.[www.google.ca]
Geezell haz muvee. Hydee haz teevee show (even if on Lyfetyme). Kayte no haz.
Does anyone else notice she doesn't ever seem to talk in public?
@Skinny Bone Jones: No kidding! I wear makeup probably once a month and even I have an eyelash comb.
@Bella_vina: But....but...have you seen Giselle? She's not really what I would call curvy. That she's got this reputation as a voluptuous siren is a huge testament to marketing.
I love Vanessa Paradis, she should be everywhere as far as I'm concerned. And since when are eyelash combs "new"? The thing is that they are usually sold with an eyebrow brush on the other side. You can get one for less than 5 bucks, even at Sephora. Theyr'e good for separating your lashes if you wear too much mascara. Don't laugh, it's useful!!!!
And I thought Kate Moss was the highest paid model? Since when is Gisele #1? Only if you count her Victoria's Secret money from last year, but that's over now. And most of Heidi Klum's income is not from actual "modelling" so why does it count? It's mostly from her TV shows and her line of shoes/jewelry.
