Jenna Sauers — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:30:00 EST

Be thankful if you still have a job: After the hell year that was 2009, a lot of fashion people don't. Many designers were fired, some were hired, and plenty lost their businesses altogether. An overview of the tumult: More »

Kate Moss partied in London wearing ripped-from-the-catwalk Fall 09 Balmain. The skintight dress, being a runway sample, wasn't designed for actual wear. So a seam split wide open. [Daily Mail]

Dita Von Teese wears two Elie Saab couture creations in her limited-run Paris show. Is it strange that the only people who can afford couture these days are burlesque artists and Saudi princesses? [IHT]

Thierry Mugler To Make Beyonce His Angel?

Apparently Thierry Mugler's doing Beyonce's tour costumes. This could go in one of two directions. [Style.com]
Diddy: “I’m only about five minutes late because I was running around and spraying people." We think he's talking about his new "I Am King" fragrance — a monarch's gotta mark his territory! [WWD]

Bruno Crashes Paris Fashion Week!

Sadie Stein — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:30:00 EDT

Apparently emboldened by last week's success in Milan, Bruno — aka Sacha Baron Cohen — crashed Stella McCartney today. "With his red thong clearly visible above his jeans, the comedian — who was virtually unrecognisable in a flamboyant leather gilet, with his slicked-down hair dyed blonde and brown — sucked Tampax, clapped along to the music and generally disgruntled the front row by continually pushing aside those sitting in front of him for a better look at the models." He then delivered a "lone standing ovation." [VogueUK]
In total radness: DVF to design a comic book in connection with her Wonder Woman-inspired collection. Really hoping she has to make the rounds of the comics conventions. [Fashionista]

Michael Kors Is A Gossip Girl

Sadie Stein — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:30:00 EDT

Between expanding his "empire," hosting Mad Men parties, judging Project Runway, and, presumably, tanning, Michael Kors is guesting on Gossip Girl. "I love the clothes, everyone is good-looking, the plot line is a riot," Kors says. "I love the show. They called and said, 'You are very Gossip Girl.' I thought, 'Finally, I am a teenager.'" Question: When does this guy have time to actually design? [WWD]

Melanie Griffith's Daughter Dakota Is A Big Fat Liar

Jennifer — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:30:00 EDT

Oh look! It's Melanie Griffith and her 17-year-old daughter Dakota, who is a model, entirely on her own merit. Oh what? You would rather have nepotism in charge of some less-influential realm of the public sphere? Hey, look who's on TV talking about the troop surge! So the scandal here is: does Dakota's modeling card lie about her size? [More »

Anna Wintour Is Worried About The Models

Jennifer — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:30:00 EDT

Anna Wintour claims she is very concerned about how "pale and thin" the models look nowadays. Don't worry, Anna, next to you they look vibrant and full of color! [WWD, 4th item]

Ferocia Coutura Will Spray You In The Eyes And Knock You When You're Down

Jennifer — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:00:00 EST

Last night's challenge on Project Runway was the most insane thing ever. And not insane in a "make-a-dress-out-of-corn-husks" sort of way. Nope, reaching a brand new plateau of wacky, this week the designers were introduced to the "divas" of the WWE and asked to design them new wrestling costumes. Initial reaction: Finally, a challenge designed specifically for Chris March! Also: I will throw my TV out the window if Ricky makes mention of his "lingerie skills" ever again. And: Will Rami manage to drape spandex? Anyway, catch the clip above, in which Christian, Sweet P and Chris March imagine their WWE alter-egos; after the jump, more on last night, including who won, who lost, and everything in between. (Note: Tomorrow we'll be live-blogging the Project Runway finale/fashion show in the morning.) More »

Further proof that there may really be a ELLE curse: WWD reports that actress Michelle Williams had already been shot for the April cover of the ladymag, but asked to have it and a related story pulled after the death of Heath Ledger. She's since been replaced with Natalie Portman. [WWD, 1st item]

Old Navy's "New Look" Brought Out Outfits Both Good And Bad

Jennifer — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 10:30:00 EST

Last night in New York, Old Navy had a big ol' party to celebrate the retailer's "new look," which is supposedly super fashion-forward. (Does this mean no more drawstring shorts?) A terrifingly-dressed Natasha Bedingfield headlined the event, and also in attendance were Ugly Betty's Becki Newton (above left), and Sophia Bush and Kristen Bell, both of whom looked great. See 'em all and more with the full good, bad, and ugly, after the jump. More »

Is Lindsay Lohan Broke & Single?

dodai — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 09:00:00 EST

Lindsay Lohan may be strapped for cash — she reportedly shopped around staged Thanksgiving photos with of herself with mom Dina, sister Ali, brothers and boyfriend Riley Giles to the celeb weeklies. The asking price started in the six figures, but dropped to $20,000. Also, does she get paid to be seen shopping at stores like Armani Exchange and Intermix? [MSNBC]

The 'Paper' Nightlife Awards: We Came, We Saw, We Mocked Perez Hilton

Jennifer — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:00:37 EDT

Last night I joined forces with our dear Slut Machine to go and root for our very own Nikola Tamindzic at Paper magazine's annual Nightlife Awards. Darling Nikola was up for Nightlife Photographer of the Year! He lost, not because he isn't the best (he is) but because the whole thing was clearly rigged: That nasty-ass Cobrasnake won (is it a ploy to get more publicity for "muse" Cory Kennedy? When event host/nasty-ass blogger Perez Hilton encouraged the crowd to "Give it up for Cory Kennedy!" I refused, and loudly.) But other than boo and pout, we also reveled at the scene amongst New York's "downtown" elite: A charming mix of drag queens, transsexuals, aging club kids, and the hangers-on. We crashed Village Voice gossip columnist Michael Musto's table! We drank his bottle of vodka! We laughed at Perez when he clearly had no idea who model Coco Rocha was! Check out the of freaks and fun in the gallery below (exposed asses and Sophia Lamar and French Vogue cover subject Andre: Oh my!) — and see an extended gallery at ambrel.net. More »

The Heatherette fashion show was really...

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 12:45:00 EDT

The Heatherette fashion show was really more like a party with a parade in the middle. Plus, some of the most interesting outfits were on the guests! Things kicked off with a performance by Lil' Mama and then the models — black girls! a plus-sized girl! fey boys and hunks! kids! a tranny and a porn star! — charged the runway at a fast clip, looking like they were having a great time despite shredded, tattered, bizarre and often confusing clothes. Below, check out highlights from designers Richie Rich and Traver Rains' celebration of individuality. And don't forget to play spot-the-celeb-in-the-front-row: Diddy, Lance Bass and Bijou Phillips attended. More »
