OMG Bon Jovi is the motherfucking guest judge on Project Runway tonight! [Fashion Week Daily]
What's this? Heidi Klum says that Seal used to design and sew his own clothes?! [Sassybella]
Jones Apparel Group is saying au revoir to the Isabel Toledo-designed Anne Klein Collection despite the fact that fans and critics alike loved it. [Fashion Week Daily]
Poor Giorgio Armani. A photo of him posing with one of the kids arrested in connection with the murder of a British student in Perugia last week is up on the arrested kid's Facebook page. The rep for Armani insists (and we believe it) that Armani doesn't know the 20-year old facing charges, but merely granted him the photo as a "tourist photo". [WWD, 3rd item]

And in less detrimental-to-the-brand Armani news, Julia Roberts has collaborated with the Italian fashion house to create a leather bracelet, sales of which will benefit Bono's (Product) Red. [Fashion Week Daily]
It's another designer collaboration for H&M! Next up is Swedish uber-textile company Marimekko, which is preparing a collection which a company rep says will be "like a vitamin injection." [WWD, sub req'd]
"We were just like 'Oh my God! Oh my God!' And both of us just stood there, squeezing each other's hands. Agyness was completely mute and unable to speak. Anna asked me for a business card and I didn't have one. I thought, 'Oh my God, I've just ruined my career'." That's designer and Hagyness bff Henry Holland on his first meeting with Anna Wintour, natch. [Vogue UK]
Why did Hayden Panettiere attend the Victoria's Secret Show? To see the Spice Girls, natch! And why did she want to see the Spice Girls? Because she's a cock-eyed optimist: "I just want to see all of them getting along." Don't hold your breath, hon. [FabSugar]
Target's sales figures are down. Just don't blame our boy Isaac Mizrahi! [Business Week]
Tory Burch: Bought one of her own pieces at the Nieman's in Chicago. [WWD, 7th item ]
Claudia Schiffer is the face of Chanel Resort and based on the first images, we think she's still got it. [Sassybella]

Designers Dialing For Dollars

Portfolio says the new Prada LG phone has sold over 300,000 units since March, which could be more than the iPhone! Rumors swirl that an Armani Samsung is not far behind. Uh, maybe not? Anyway, you know what would be awesome? A cheap, colorful, hypertrendy H&M phone! It might break in six weeks but you could just go out and get a new, cuter one!

Smart Phones, Foolish Women

Anna — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 10:20:01 EDT

A new survey commissioned by electronics-giant Samsung proves what we've suspected all along: Cell phones are making women stupid! (Yes, yes, they make men stupid too, but this was a study about women so work with us!) In addition to promoting obnoxious, inane, usually-pointless conversations in public places like city buses — can't people be alone with their thoughts for more than 60 seconds anymore? Or, you know, read? — cell phones are creating a class of singletons who suffer from what we'll call BlackBerry-blackouts, in which they text or call people (usually ex-boyfriends) and don't remember doing so the next morning. Then there are those like Amy Brozick, who proudly uses her cell phone as a stand-in for her hippocampus.

'I don't know anyone's number because I don't have to,' she said. 'Whenever I lose my phone and need to call someone, I am lost because everything is automatic.' Brozick said it's difficult to remember phone numbers, even the important ones. 'It took me a year to memorize my last boyfriend's number, and the last numbers were 9000,' she said.

We rest our case.
