Stella McCartney says she’s been trying to explain the concept of feminism to her 5-year-old daughter, Bailey. “She really didn’t understand women had to throw themselves under horses to get the vote, and I hope she doesn’t ever have to understand it,” says the designer.

If I’ve had four hours’ sleep because I was at something late and up early with the kids, then I am not a particularly good mum and not a particularly good colleague at work.” [Telegraph]

Hot Topic is unrolling a new chain of lingerie stores called Blackheart. The first five stores will open in Texas and California malls on November 15; Women’s Wear Daily describes Blackheart as “sort of the garage-band lovers’ antidote to the preppy girls’ Victoria’s Secret Pink,” adding, “The darker, subversive approach is what has distinguished Hot Topic.” Subversive.

Coach has won a (largely symbolic) $257 million judgment in its lawsuit against online sellers of counterfeit Coach goods. 573 domain names of the sites selling illegal products were also ruled forfeit. Because all the sites were headquartered overseas, the likelihood of the company ever recovering the money is small. [WWD]
