• It had to happen eventually. David Beckham has dipped a toe in the choppy waters of retail, becoming a Celebrity Designer. You can buy his clothes for Adidas Originals starting this fall. [WWD]

• Kate Moss' line for TopShop sells out in 15 minutes! "Crowds of young women, who started queuing at 7.45am, scooped up the must have designer gear without even trying it on. " [Daily Mail]
• Rachel Weisz on method acting:"We were talking about the character of Penelope when I suddenly ran upstairs and brought down these old boots. They’re basically a cross between a clown boot and a Victorian lace-up boot....They suit Penelope because they don’t go with anything, they’re really clumpy and they gave me a funny walk. The character came entirely out of those boots — I wear them in every single scene!" If shleppy shoes equal verite, color me Stella Adler! [ElleUK]

  • Woody Allen is suing American Apparel for $10 million for using his image in its ads without consent. And to think if not for this minor infringement the two seem, well, cut from the same (sweatshop free knit jersey) cloth, if you know what I mean! [WSJ]

  • Gisele appears on the cover of the April Vogue with...Lebron James. This is may seem like an historic event on par with, say, a black president, but that would belie how far we've come as a nation, revealed by the dead-first comment reacting to the news on our brother blog Deadspin: "That cover would have been much more fantastic if he had been dressed a la Andre french vogue. Oh Anna, Anna, Anna." Our take: Lebron probably exercises more influence over footwear and apparel sales than Anna Wintour and Gisele and Karl Lagerfeld combined. If Vogue really wanted to think outside the (heh) box, they'd make over Lebron's mom. [Deadspin]

  London's Fashion Week kicked off almost as soon as New York's ended, and yesterday, three of the biggest names in British fashion — Paul Smith, Louise Goldin, and the revived house of Ossie Clark — showed. And while I'm digging Goldin's perverse knits (and we would love the giant hood she closed her show with, at left), I'm afraid that Smith's layered smocks are destined to leave wearers looking frumpy. As for new Ossie Clark, well, it's a strange fusion of looking too dated and too futuristic. See for yourself with selected images of the good, bad, and ugly from each show, after the jump. More »

  • Gisele's agent on that whole "anything but dollars" scandal: "She is based in America, pays her bills in America. She, like anyone else who lives in America, doesn't feel the fluctuation of the dollar until she goes shopping in Paris. She is pretty much here all the time and doesn't feel the difference." Well, now we're convinced. [WWD, 1st item]

  We're about halfway through London Fashion Week, and though we're not there in the flesh, some of us are there in spirit. [Meaning, Jennifer. -Ed.]After taking a gander at what's shown so far, we're happy to see that many of our English mates share our desire to embrace a feminized menswear sensibility. (Note the lovely and sedate looks shown by TopShop, shown at left.) Those who went less minimalist though? Big oy. The good, the bad, and the ugly of London Fashion Week so far, after the jump.

  New York may be the #1 fashion city in the world, but African designers are where it's at. (We really wanted to write 'wear it's at," but even we couldn't bring ourselves to make that kind of pun.) Anna Trzebinski of Nairobi, for instance, is one of the hottest designers amongst the Hollywood set, churning out items snatched up by retailers like Paul Smith, who carry her wares "simply because they're unique." Smith sees Trzebinski's work as a novelty, almost, stocking one or two pieces of a single item as a merchandising technique to make his own customers feel like they are part of some exclusive experience. Uh, how quaint! More »
