In reply to Versace In Trouble; Kate Moss Fires Hairstylist
Just finished reading the Versace article and found it to be a good read. I've heard about all that was going on with the company. The family resisting change, the decline of the brand. I always thought the brand was doing good because J Lo wore that gown and everyone went nuts, but then again that was many many moons ago.

Glad to hear that Allegra is studying at Brown.

It's interesting that Missoni, also family ran is doing great. #versace

At least in the Calvin Klein ad he's the passive one and its not simply a girl-on-girl (for the boys) fest as is usually the case. #versace

Kate Moss and I: both squinting as we trim our bangs in the mirror. Kate, I like to spread out a plastic trash bag over the sink first, as "the help" (Mr. Leucadia) dislikes wiping up wet bang fragments. #versace

Custom Uggs: Better or worse than Ed Hardy Uggs (on sale at Macy's and I am SO not joking about that). #versace

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: "Ed Hardy Uggs" You've rendered me speechless... And let me tell you, that is quite a feat! Actually, I'm still hoping you're playing a cruel trick on us. Ed Hardy Uggs, Really? #versace

@Being pecked to death by a chicken: Really. I live in TEXAS and saw some at Macy's. I snapped a cell picture to prove it to passerby but it is unneeded, BEHOLD!

I looked up photos from Pakistan Fashion Week after seeing the ones that were posted on here, and I gotta say, those are some of the most beautiful women and clothes I'v ever seen. Makes me sad that many of us associate Pakistan with poverty and terrorism and kind of overlook the beauty and the culture. #ragtrade

Granted, I don't work for a luxury fashion house, but the story of Versace very much mirrors what has happened at my company. We've seen countless executives brought in, in an attempt to rein in our spazzy, crazy CEO. It just goes to show that resisting change, refusing to evolve and failing to think creatively about your business will fuck you in the end. And also forgetting that 2, 5, 10 heads are better than one.

The Versace fall has been a long time coming, but it's been really interesting, for me, to watch which retailers and apparel lines have failed and flourished during the past few years, and why.

"Moises de la Renta, son of Oscar, is rumored to be "inking a deal" with Mango, presumably as a designer. "

When I read this the first thing I thought of was Mango, that weird SNL monkey character Chris Kattan used to play.

I would actually be very interested in seeing that clothing line. #ragtrade

@MegiEr: The monkey character was Mr. Peepers -- Mango was the cross-dressing exotic dancer. Both make me giggle. :) #versace

I read that news about Moises de la Renta and giggled to myself, imagining that Chris Kattan's Mango character from SNL was an actual person with his own private designer. #ragtrade

You know, as much as I sympathize with Posh's sons, I would adore if capes could make a come back. I look absolutely smashing in a cape. #ragtrade

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I love capes and would love to have one if only I could solve the handbag situation. You're forced to have it dangle on your arm or hold it in your hand and my bags are way too heavy for that, Also, I need both hands. You know, for stuff. #versace

@BlondeGoddess: I have a similar problem with hats. I love wearing hats in the winter, like real structured wool felt hats, but once you put it on you're kind of committed to wearing it. Without a coat check, you can hang up your coat and scarf or wad them up somewhere, but I always end up with a hat sort of awkwardly sitting on my lap. Very awkward in crowded restaurants and such.

I think the sort of ladies who wear hats would know what to do with them, and are too elegant to be wadding up coats anyway. #versace

@Leucadia: You know, I once went to the Ritz Cafe in Boston for lunch with a (much better heeled) friend, and it was late winter. I checked my coat, and the coat-check person asked my name and greeted me by name when I came to pick it up, and immediately brought the right coat without a tag. It was like a window into a much more fabulous world where I had a discrete identity to strangers. That was years and years ago, and I have never forgotten it.

Which is just a long-winded way of saying that I too am into hats, and the more structured designs and high-quality fabrics and accessories of yore. #versace

I'd imagine Pam Anderson's fragrance smells like silicone, suntan oil, and sex. #ragtrade

@funnyface: I bet that's Malibu Blue. I'm guessing that Malibu Pink smells like acrylic nails, fake tanner, and lube. #versace
