March Vogue: Just Us, Or Does Drew Look Scarymore?

  • Designer Keanan Duffy on his David Bowie-inspired line for Target: "Fashion is always out of fashion; what happens on the street is always stolen by designers who, by their very nature, are out of touch.

Gucci Sucks, Marni Full Of "Sad Sacks": The Critics Speak

As Milan winds down, some of our favorite fashion critics [Ou est tu, Robin Givhan?] waxed not-so-poetic on what they've seen over the past few days. Gucci was universally slammed. Marni, Ferragamo, Dsquared, and Missoni got words good, bad, and ugly all thrown at them. The poison pens are out, there, and we're looking forward to the start of Paris Fashion Week on Monday - who shall be Cathy Horyn's next victim? In the meantime, we mourn those slain by Horyn this week.

Lily Cole Feels Our Ambivalence

  • Aw, Lily Cole: So young, so naive. Says the model: "One of the more useful consequences of my role as a model might be to encourage more people to ask questions about the global clothing industry and what we can do to change it... I've long had misgivings about the industry I work in....I could say shop less. I could say shop here. But I would be an annoying hypocrite, since I shop a lot and buy clothes without reading the labels." [Vogue UK]
  • The ads for Britney's new fragrance, Believe? Yeah, uh, believe it or not, they look pretty altered. [WWD, sub req'd]
  • Sienna and Savannah Miller's London flagship store for their line Twenty8Twelve is alive at last! It's officially open today.

Eva Longoria: Bridal Accessory Bridezilla?

  • Eva Longoria had accessories designer Rafe Totengco make custom clutches for each of her bridesmaids for her Friday nuptials to Tony Parker, and then had the girls carry their gifts down the aisle. Uh, isn't it kinda awkward to have bridesmaids carry clutches down the aisle? And how could the bridesmaids adequately straighten Longoria's train and tend to her every idiotic need besaddled with a clutch? Um okay we're stopping now. [WWD, 1st item]
  • L'Oreal Paris makes our favorite mascara. They are also apparently racist. Sigh. [WWD, 2nd item]
