The latest WWD has a piece on how individual designers interpret women's struggles in fashion, pegged in part to the "feminist protest" Karl Lagerfeld staged for Chanel's Spring 2015 runway. And, predictably, Karl says some pretty wacky things about it. Side eye.
Last night kicked off the Women in the World Summit (today Hillary Clinton speaks!) and lovely, lively ladies gathered to discuss solutions that advance women and girls. Usually we talk about the good, the bad and the ugly… But today it's all good.
The fall 2013 collection Donna Karan showed today during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is very... brown. And black. And grey. It's kinda boring and blah, with a decidedly 90s vampire twist. Of course, there's a few things nobody would turn down, but the rest is a bit (blood)sucking. But maybe that's because I'm dead on…
Poor troubled Terminator 3 actor Nick Stahl now has a glossy senior picture in the Paul Reubens Academy Yearbook: Stahl was arrested around dinnertime last night for jerking off in the private booth of a porn store in Hollywood.

For the first time since its famous all-black issue of July, 2008, Italian Vogue has printed a magnificent 17-page editorial, featuring twelve black models. The story is definitely reaching for a languid, finger-curled, Harlem Renaissance feeling. Let's explore.
It's not much! Filings made in association with a $3.75 million lawsuit include the earnings statement of one of the plaintiffs, the Polish supermodel Anna Jagodzinska. That ledger tallies gigs for American Vogue, Vogue Paris, and an H&M campaign.
Anna Wintour heard about this so-called "environmentally friendly" fashion, so she sent her crack team of stylists to go out find some of it, to put it in her magazine. Her very eco-friendly magazine. The result? $2,895 trench coats.
