Stella McCartney Is Eager To Dress ScarJo In Virginal White
- Stella McCartney calls dibs on bride-to-be Scarlett Johansson: "I'm definitely doing her wedding dress. She doesn't know it yet." Awkward. [People]
- Says Marc Jacobs on the bride-to-be, "I'm really happy for her. She's a great girl. I just think Scarlett is great and I hope she is very, very happy. She's super funny. I love a smart, ballsy, New Yorker and that's what she is. I wish her the best." And by "the best" he clearly means, "Do why didn't that bitch ask me to design her wedding dress?" [Vogue UK]
- Chris "Mr. Big" Noth has some strong feelings about Victoria's Secret, "I'm not into Victoria's Secret so much. I find it over the top. I like subtlety and I like elegance. I think their things are gaudy and they are really trying too hard. If I could make a fashion statement, I think that Victoria's Secret looks to me like somebody who is putting on too much make-up. It's too gaudy, man. I mean, come on take it easy, you don't have to have a fuckin' bouquet of flowers on your underwear. Sorry Victoria's Secret; I hope they're not one of our sponsors!" [Oh No They Didn't]

Anna Wintour: 1; Rachel Zoe: 0

- French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld and designer/Chanel creative director "Krazy" Karl Lagerfeld were both named to the Time 100 List, as influential members of the fashion community. Something about the way they both made fashion about "the street" or something. [Vogue UK]
- Gisele Bundchen is still the top-paid model, according to Forbes. Heidi Klum is the second. Take that, Moss. [Sassybella]

Target Woos Frugal Fashionistas With New, No-Name Designer Duds
Target: Is it the best store in the entire universe? Yes! Yes it is! And I'm willing to throw an extra exclamation point in there now that I've seen the first little twinklings of the retailer's new GO International Private Collection line. GO International, as many know, is the line for which well-known, high-end designers have translated their signature looks and sold them at unbeatable Target price points, much to the delight of an adoring public. But GO International's soon-to-debut Private Collection takes the celebrity designers out of the equation altogether, presenting trendy looks at those at, again, unbeatable Target prices. While some of it is a little much for my taste (say, anything too shiny), on the whole, the debut collection offers some great, cool basics. In the words of Stephen Colbert: H&M is now on notice. Some images after the jump. More »

Tom Ford To Bequeath His Devastatingly Attractive Genes To A Baby?
- Oh lord: Tom Ford is having a baby in 2008. It will be "biologically" his, not his partner Richard Buckley's. "I don't want to get to 75 years old and just have made a lot of dresses, done some houses." In the same interview: "I don't find a guy's cock or a woman's vagina offensive; in fact, I find them beautiful." So will he be penetrating one to achieve this demonspawn?

Jovovich-Hawk For Target: Pitch Perfect
When Milla Jovovich and Carmen Hawk launched Jovovich-Hawk in 2003, they just wanted to design clothes for "funny" and "creative" women so that consumers could "look great" even if they "[felt] bad." Now, their vintage-inspired, playful, California-girl clothes are available — at much more affordable prices, I should add — via Target's GO International line. Images of the full collection and an unrepentant fan's not-so-critical take on it, after the jump. More »

Dear Diane: Sorry, But You Can't Claim To "Show The Soul Of A Woman" On The Same Day You Sue Target
- "With so many magazine images that are so completely retouched, we've gone in the opposite direction, showing the soul of a woman." That's artist Francois-Marie Banier, on this Diane von Furstenberg ad starring Natalia Vodianova. Which makes us wonder, if that is the "opposite direction" of the retouching trend, we sort of wonder what that trend would look like "taken to its hyperbolic extreme." [Vogue UK]
- And in other DVF news, Diane is suing Target over a wrapdress. Wait, you're telling us Target didn't invent the wrapdress? [Reuters]

Rich Chicks Not Afraid To Shop Among Commoners
You may think that if you had more money, you'd buy nicer stuff. But ladies with cash still love a bargain, according to the National Retail Federation. Women with a household income of over $100,000 admit to shopping at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks and — surprise! — Target. According to a survey, 11% of them also go to Wal-Mart. (Just because it's inexpensive doesn't mean it's beneath them!) Over 70% of women with incomes over $150,000 say that price does not make a brand. Robin Lewis, a retail expert, says ladies raking in the dough "will pay for something if they really want it. "But they won't pay a penny more than what they can see it is worth." In other words, they may be materialistic, but they're not stupid. More »
"Good" feminists are all up in arms over this ad for Target, which shows a model splayed out over the company's bullseye logo. Specifically, they are offended that "the model's vag was in the center of the target." Oh, c'mon people. Maybe we're bad feminists, but it's Target. The model doesn't look she is about to be assaulted and we seriously doubt that Target is trying to sell more Gladware containers and Erin Fetherston frocks by degrading women.
