<li>Jewelry can be a notoriously unethical business &mdash; and we don't just mean blood diamonds. Conditions in gold mines are often unsafe for workers, the chemicals used in mining, such as cyanide, can wreak havoc on local ecosystems, and the trade in precious gems like rubies and emeralds is often under the control of third-world strongmen. "Most gems are found in the poor parts of the world and they end up on very rich people's fingers and it's complicated," says jeweler <strong><a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #stephenwebster" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/stephenwebster/">Stephen Webster</a></strong>.

<li>Yes, it's fashion week, yes, there are better things to talk about, and yes, we'll get to them after the jump, but first: <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged TOBY KEITH" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/toby-keith/">Toby Keith</a>'s clothing line debuted.

<li>London's fashion week, small but mighty as always, starts today and only runs for four days. It's a strange paradox of British fashion that, while some of the top designers &mdash; McQueen, Galliano &mdash; are from the UK, and London's Central St. Martins is acknowledged as one of the best fashion schools in the world, <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged LONDON FASHION WEEK" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/london-fashion-week/">London fashion week</a> has never quite managed the automatic prestige of New York's, Milan's, or Paris's (which is, not incidentally, where Galliano and McQueen both show).

<li>SIR &mdash; Thank you for your measured post considering the economic value of the fashion industry. I'll resist the temptation to call any of the economists who would argue that "creative innovation that matters is somebody in a lab at MIT coming up with a more efficient battery or solar cell. It is somebody at Stanford coming up with a way to make computers smarter or cancer more preventable. I just can't get excited about some frou-frou fashion designers and the magazines that feature their creations" pointy-headed misogynist assholes (who probably dress poorly and were made fun of for it in high school).

This season's show cost $170,000, around $70,000 of which came from the Brazilian government. I'm always mystified by the huge numbers some designers give as their budget costs for models &mdash; Herchcovitz claims he spent $90,000 on models a year ago &mdash; and I have to wonder, are they counting the "cost" of the trade they offer as payment to the girls who work the show? Because as far as I can recall, Herchcovitz is one of the many to "pay" in clothes. Not that giving away clothes isn't a cost to a designer, but I don't think it's unreasonable to recognize that providing some of your product for free is a different class of cost than actual out-of-pocket expenditures.

<blockquote>The trouble with last night's party at the Met, if I may speak frankly, is that it was a little like being sucked into a sequined wind tunnel. It started with a little breeziness before the superhero displays&mdash;Oh, hey, Narciso and Claire! Hi Liya! Alessandra! Isaac! Diane! Tom!&mdash;and then, suddenly, people seemed to be flying around the room....But I thought Anna Wintour looked great in her Chanel dress&mdash;fantastical fashion....And though I didn't see <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #victoriabeckham" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/victoriabeckham/">Victoria Beckham</a> until later, in pictures, her lace Armani coat dress was definitely a look&mdash;Hollywood grandeur with a wink. <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #zacposen" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/zacposen/">Zac Posen</a> and his date <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #katemara" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/katemara/">Kate Mara</a>, in outfits painfully inspired by Superman, get the try-harder award.

<blockquote>One could probably read as many metaphors about the transformative power of fashion in the silver-sequined, elaborately padded Chanel gown that Anna Wintour wore to the Costume Institute gala on Monday night as one could in Superman's cape, which happened to be hanging in a gallery down the hall. The floor-length dress had curiously curling crescents attached at the hips and the shoulders, giving Ms. Wintour, the Vogue editor and overseer of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Party of the Year, the fuller-bodied appearance of Botticelli's Venus on her clamshell. She seemed to be broadcasting a message of total earthly control. (Or it could have been that all the Vogue assistants standing along the way to Ms. Wintour's receiving line had been strictly instructed not to speak to anyone, not even to people they recognized, or that so many guests were unusually prompt.) With this year's gala titled "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy," Ms. Wintour pointed out that she was Storm, the "X-Men" character. "I control the weather," she said.</blockquote>

[Thandie] Newton, in a short dress in black lace with a long cape, said, "I like this because it's one look &mdash; and two looks. She made up her own superhero inspiration. "I'm Love Woman," she said. "I wanted to do a bit of skin."</blockquote>
&mdash; Donna Freydkin, <em><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2008-05-05-met-gala_N.htm">USA Today</a></em>
<blockquote>"I think the secret of a good exhibition is when it happens very easily, which is what happened here," Anna Wintour told us of the Metropolitan Museum's Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy installation. We had many more looks in the exhibition than we could use, so [the idea] is obviously, once you start to look, really out there. It was largely Andrew [Bolton, the exhibition curator]'s vision that brought it all together but we've been very fortunate that at the same time," she added. "All these movies are coming out and the Olympics are coming up, so it all sort of came together."</blockquote>
&mdash; Lauren David Peden, <em><a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/vogue_daily/story/story.asp?stid=52307">Vogue UK</a></em>
<blockquote>Holy Stars, Batman! It was a celeb-studded affair at the Metropolitan Museum on Monday night as the world's fashion elite and Hollywood heavyweights met on Fifth Ave. to kick off the Costume Institute's latest exhibit, "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy." And while the night's theme celebrated cat suits and unitards, the red carpet featured far more glam getups: Co-hosts Julia Roberts and <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #georgeclooney" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/georgeclooney/">George Clooney</a> giggled together as they strolled in wearing Giorgio Armani. "I wore the dress because he made it for me," said Roberts, who gave the designer, who sponsored the evening with Vogue magazine, a hug....Fashion darling Zac Posen took the theme seriously, rocking out Clark Kent-worthy spectacles and revealing his own secret identity. "I worked here as an intern for three years," he said. "I got paid $60 to do the event."</blockquote>

			<title><![CDATA[Anna Wintour And Carine Roitfeld's Daughters Are Both Prettier, More Nourished Than Their Moms. Do They Hate Each Other Anyway?]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="http://jezebel.com/assets/resources/2007/07/daughters.jpg" class="left image340" width="340" />As usual with <em>Teen Vogue</em>, we're finding the sheer gravity of the content packed into its August issue a bit intimidating. But one boldfaced name on the 84th page hit us with the force of a thousand newtons: <strong><a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #juliarestoinroitfeld" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/juliarestoinroitfeld/">Julia Restoin-Roitfeld</a></strong>. See, even we know that "Roitfeld" is the surname of the horsy Parisian version of <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #annawintour" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/annawintour/">Anna Wintour</a>, Carine. And Julia would be her daughter, who has already expended much effort <a href="http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/fashion/article652568.ece">denying</a> there is any feud between her and Wintour's daughter <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #beeshaffer" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/beeshaffer/">Bee Shaffer</a>, which (duh!) means the Catfight Jr. is on!</p>

<p>Roitfeld makes it into a laundry list of socialites cataloged in <em>Teen Vogue</em>, always considered the realm of Bee, thanks to a breathless dispatch from the magazine's "Style Blogger" who doesn't actually blog Kimball Hastings. Then today, real blogger Perez Hilton declared his <a href="http://perezhilton.com/?p=823">love</a> for Bee! Who will win? What do they even do all day? Is it anything as earth-shatteringly profound as Arden Wohl's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhq0CtKi2K0">movie</a>?? WHO'S THE PRETTIEST?<br>
