Maybe to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the bikini, this woman is demonstrating its versatility: not just for sun and surf, you can also wear it in chilly, muddy weather and be miserable!


Speaking of versatile: classic Hunter wellies can even civilize adult men in psychedelic footie pajamas.


Okay, I didn't say their power was unlimited.


Lily Allen, like Brits generally, seems way more comfortable roughing it in the mud than her U.S. equivalent would be.


Even the Power Rangers are, apparently, not above the effects of mud. Whatever, they're all about the environment in all its guises.


Sometimes peoples' wellies mirror their style. Accordingly, this pair is on a bad trip.


The fun just doesn't stop!


These women were at Glastonbury when Michael Jackson died. In case you were wondering. I wasn't.


Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos: indie cuteness conquers all.


Cause...


Effect.

Two girls walk through the site with blow-up airbeds on the evening before the first 'official' day of the annual Glastonbury festival near Glastonbury, Somerset on June 25, 2009. Veteran rockers Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young are set to rock the Glastonbury festival, the world-famous celebration of arts and music which gets into full swing Friday. Organisers Michael Eavis and daughter Emily have returned to the festival's rock roots after criticism last year when they invited US rapper Jay-Z to play the coveted Saturday night headline spot.

• Michael Jackson has settled on a costume for his upcoming tour: an ensemble made entirely from Swarovski crystals. His wardrobe uses 300,000 of the sparklers. Of course, this is the man who once wore a gold-plated jacket. [WWD]

• Meanwhile at Glastonbury, the band Florence and the Machine had its outfits designed specially by Topshop. [Telegraph]
• Anna Wintour is said to have instructed Vogue petty officers to create sockpuppet accounts on Facebook to monitor fan page comments about The September Issue. [P6]
• Bucking the trend of British fashion designers returning to London Fashion Week for its anniversary, Giles Deacon has announced he'll show his Spring 2010 collection in Paris. [WWD]
• Eva Green read what you wrote about her on the Internet, but unlike Anna, she just doesn't care! "I want to wear something that I wouldn't wear every day, I like to be a bit eccentric and I know lots of people say 'Oh my god blah' but I don't care, I want to have my style, I like to try something new," said the actress, who also pines for Topshop when she's in France. [Mirror]
• 50 Cent unveiled his new fragrance, Power, at a private party in New York. While unspecific about its target audience ("Everyone human...breathing...") he did manage to shove a journalist out of his path. The way she writes it, she didn't seem to mind. Power indeed. [The Cut]
• This week sees the official previews of two dark, "intellectual" fashion ranges, heavy on the strange shapes and deconstruction, and costing around $300-$600. One is by Juicy Couture ("There is...one pair of very expensive leather leggings", but we knew that already). The other is by Comme des Garçons. Odd! [Racked] [Racked]
• Council of Fashion Designers of America menswear award winner Band of Outsiders' Scott Sternberg (who tied for the award with Calvin Klein's Italo Zucchelli) was good enough to answer some of W magazine's questions. To "Waverly Inn or Monkey Bar?" he sagely responded: "No." Asked, "Jon or Kate?" Sternberg said: "Who?" Also, Paris Hilton better not ever ask to borrow his clothes. We like him even more now. [W]
• Christy Turlington, who bagged the spring campaign, too, is coming back this fall as the face of Bally. Mario Sorrenti shot the ads. A number of fashion houses have made the choice to stick with their spring casting choices for fall. Versace re-shot Gisele in virtually the same position and dress as before, and Louis Vuitton re-hired Madonna. [WWD]
• Bar Refaeli is now the new face of Garnier Fructis. [SassyBella]
• Speaking of, L'Oréal has been found guilty of racial discrimination in French court. To market its Fructis shampoo in supermarkets, the beauty giant hired a sales staff  and was caught giving instructions in writing to a temp agency to employ only white women aged 18-22 who wear a French size 38-42. L'Oréal and the temp agency, Adecco, each have to pay fines and damages of €60,000. [Times of London]
• Models of color did not fare well at Milan menswear week. Even reliably diverse clients, like DSquared2 (which last year used an all-black cast) had virtually no faces of color on their runways. Check out these pictures to see the practically all-white casts for yourself. [FashionBombDaily]
• An Australian retail chain called Diva has ripped off a wide variety of jewelry by indie designers. [ShanaLogic]
• Let me say this again: Male modeling is just like modeling for women. Only even more poorly paid. (This article quotes 500 Euros to several thousand Euros as a typical rate for men who work the shows in Europe  and says that it's lower than what women models get. Why do reporters never keep in mind who they're asking? In this case, it's a pair of twins who started out by booking campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana. Nothing about their experience of the industry is average.) [Telegraph]
• Project Runway's Leanne Marshall wrote on her personal blog that she was unhappy with a business opportunity gone sour  but one which it was too late to pull the plug on. Discontent with retail partner Bluefly is the only logical conclusion. [Racked]
• Ex-model and PR whiz Carlos Souza has returned to the house of Valentino to try and repair its damaged reputation. Since Valentino's departure, the brand has suffered through the embarrassing ousting of the talented successor Alessandra Facchinetti, and lackluster collections designed since then by two of Valentino's former assistants. [FWD]
• Vena Cava now has a blog. [Viva Vena Cava]
• Philippe Starck has launched a new clothing line, which he describes as "non-photogenic." It's made of waterproof cashmere and designed to last a long time, which is still enough to prick our interest. [UnBeige]
• Dress Barn announced plans to buy Tween Brands Inc., which operates the Limited Too and Justice. [WSJ]
• Nike, which cut 5% of its global workforce, some 1,750 jobs in May, saw sales for the fourth quarter decline to $341.4 million, from $490.5 million the year before. Orders for the next few month are also down 12%. [AP]
• Troubled Jones Apparel Group is betting on the Asian market. It just bought a 15% stake in the Hong Kong-based retail distribution group GRI, upping its total stake in the company to 25%. [WWD]
• H&M's sales are up by 6.4% in the quarter just ended. Revenue climbed 23%. [WSJ]
• Uniqlo is talking about buying the Gap. [Independent]
• The company that owns Lacoste has chosen the former head of the European supermarket chain Carrefour to lead the brand. [WWD]

GLASTONBURY, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 25: Festival goers watch to see if the sun will shine at dawn at the Glastonbury Festival site at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 25, 2009 in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. The gates have opened for the first of the 140000 music fans arriving, at what has become one of Europe's largest music festivals, but weather forecasters have warned that bad weather may be on the way.

Two women arrive with their stock of drinks on the first day of the annual Glastonbury festival near Glastonbury, Somerset, on June 24, 2009. Veteran rockers Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young are set to rock the Glastonbury festival, the world-famous celebration of arts and music which gets into full swing Friday. Festival organisers Michael Eavis and daughter Emily have returned to the festival's rock roots after criticism last year when they invited US rapper Jay-Z to play the coveted Saturday night headline spot. The rapper was blamed for slow ticket sales, but his electrifying performance helped re-establish the festival's reputation and this year's 137,500 tickets were snapped up five months ago.

Kate Moss is so in her element here. She's all, 'just try and rock a pair of wellies like this, Agy. I dare you.'
I am not personally a fan of the retro-Mickey tee. But apparently Kelly Osborne and her beef Luke Howell feel differently.
Not so much digging K.D. Tunstull's tribute tee, but am digging the skanking a lot.
Self described "dirty fairy", it-girl and sorta-Gwen-Stefani-step-daughter Daisy Lowe, looking clean, but wearing vinyl pants.
Lily Cole chooses love, asinine tee.
Alexa Chung's high-waisted cutoffs scream 'fashionista at a rock show chic.'
Beth Ditto's cute red iteration.

Some would say it's fortunate for Linzi Stoppard that I'm not handing out "bad"'s today.>
Can't tell if Gabriella Cilmi is wearing a German WWII army helmet.
Good intentions by the wayside. Pixie Geldof's getup, wig look absurd.
Let's say, hypothetically, we were doing an "ugly" category. And let's pretend Har Mar Superstar happened to slip into it.
