My best friend cut himself in high school. Looking at the Catherine McNeil article and the attached pictures is very painful for me, and while I'm no expert, those cuts do not look like the result of a skateboarding accident.
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
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
@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.

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
