• When you're the president of an organization — the Council of Fashion Designers of America — tasked with asking its members not to hire girls under the age of 16 as runway models, it's pretty embarrassing when a 15-year-old turns up in your own fashion show.

• Apparently, it was rumored that Diane Von Furstenberg's January 23 Colorado skiing accident, which left her with a fractured cheekbone and bruises that have yet to fully heal, was actually just a story concocted to cover for a plastic surgery procedure.

DVF's show was inspired by "American Legends," and was described as "… muses and artists … travelers and settlers … always pushing the boundaries with strength and panache."

As you may have heard, Michelle Obama recently wore a red Alexander McQueen evening gown to a state dinner held in honor of the Chinese president, Hu Jintao. This apparently made a lot of people very unhappy.

• Precocious-in-the-bad-way tween "designer" Cecilia Cassini, who sells $500 dresses, says she took "like, three" sewing classes, but quit because her teacher was "like, rude." We have a feeling one day soon Cassini will be horribly embarrassed of all this.

At the 7th Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards, the entire animal kingdom was on display. Fur-frowners will have plenty to complain about, but believe us, amongst this star-studded gang there was something to offend — and please — everyone!
