Jenna Sauers — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 11:35:00 EST

A Defense Of Writing About Female Politicians' Shoes

Irin Carmon — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:08:48 EDT

What do Rachel Zoe and a handful of female politicians have in common? They like this shoe, as The New York Times, half-shamefacedly, informs us today. Trivializing, or refreshing perspective on women in politics? More »

Karl Lagerfeld: Everybody's Jealous of Carla Bruni

Sadie Stein — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:30:00 EDT

Lagerfeld on Bruni: "She’s imaginative, clever, educated. She knows how to behave. She speaks many languages. It must be an embarrassment for the wives of other heads of state to see this beautiful creature who can wear anything and speak like that. They are hunters who met—predators. It’s a good thing. He had seduced many women, and she was a kind of seductress. When two like this meet, it can be good.” [NY Observer]

So, NBC is totes suing the Weinsteins for how they handled the whole Project Runway decamping to Lifetime thing, but here's the really touching thing that came out on the stand: apparently Tim Gunn, the dearest fashion queen on cable TV, did the first season for free. Awww. [Rush & Molloy]
Fergie's shoe collection: "I have always loved fashion because it's a great way to express your mood. And I'm definitely a shoe lover. The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat." [FabSugar]
Shocker: Naomi Campbell, terrible journalist. Her question to the Argentine president? "How did you feel when you saw Madonna playing Evita on the screen?" [The First Post]

If you're toting a knock-off Kate Spade...

Jennifer — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:45:25 EDT

If you're toting a knock-off Kate Spade bag, watch out! Ms. Spade, who no longer designs her eponymous label, confronted some poor (um, literally?) woman whom she ran into at a benefit last week and cross-examined her about the fake Spade bag the woman was carrying. Explains Kate, "She was like, 'Oh, my God, you're Kate Spade! She said, 'Oh I didn't buy it, my husband did.' Anytime you ask someone, they say that, 'I don't know, it was a gift.'" Warns New York magazine, "You heard it here first, ladies and gentleman. If Kate Spade catches you carrying a fake handbag, she will hunt you down." Doesn't Ms. Spade have anything better to do? And honestly, aren't her bags just black nylon stitched together in the most basic of shapes? [NYMag] More »

Marc Jacobs trashes John Galliano to his trainer at the gym and he's not exactly subtle about it. Because there's really no better way to combat "superior talent" than "rock hard abs." And by "better" we might mean "gayer." [Sassybella]
