Sure, it doesn't always function as a "collection" (we're not sure how turbans and ethnic-print earth tones relate to short, swingy shifts in primary colors), but there's some good stuff. And to use the language of another Project Runway cast member, it "looks expensive." (And really, isn't that the whole point of H&M? Let it be cheap, let it be on-trend, and let it look much nicer than it cost!) And seriously, no harm, no foul if it falls apart in three-months time: A small price to pay for a faux-Mayle ensemble. Gallery begins below.

  • You'll never believe this, but a fashion house (Tod's) is going to eschew skinny models in favor of... a skinny starlet! And in case you didn't recognize Sienna Miller over there, she invented "foho" style — that's folk-bohemian, for those of you who might have thought that sounded a little redundant. [WWD, last item]
  • Victoria Beckham accepted her Glamour UK Woman of The Year Award in sequined Chanel hotpants. We can't think of a funny made-up "achievement" to riff on here, but maybe when she does that reunion album later this year they can rename her Really Scary Spice. [Vogue UK]
  • Karl Lagerfeld has just finished shooting Babel star Rinko Kikuchi for Chanel Cruise 2008. Cause nothing says cruisewear like having played an angry deaf girl? [WWD, 2nd item]
  • Hot young thing Erin Fetherston is rumored to be the next designer up for a 'GO International for Target' collection. And yeah, there are still people whose lives are boring enough to actually start "rumors" about the next-big-Target-high-low-collaboration. But we could honestly give a shit, what with Donna Karan fixing health care and Sarah Jessica Parker designing for a chain that is basically the next-best-thing to the 99 cent store. What about you call us when Miuccia Prada inks a deal with Amy Fisher, then we'll talk? [WWD, last item]
  • Caché, that store where your mom and all of her friends bought their dresses to wear to your cousin's bar mitzvah, radically drops its second quarter earnings forecast. Maybe Chico's started a bar mitzvah line?[WSJ, sub req'd]
  • Jeffrey Kalinsky, of the luxury Atlanta and NYC stores bearing his name, is going full-time at Nordstrom — the famously customer service oriented department store chain where he's currently a consultant — in exchange for a stake at his boutiques, where the salespeople are more known more for the "fuck you" theory of customer service. [WWD, sub req'd]
  • Here's the most culturally sensitive lede we've read all day! "Hermès may offer turbans fit for a maharajah soon". [WWD, sub req'd]
  • Evan-Picone founder and Tootsie/Chinatown/Urban Cowboy producer Charles Evans died yesterday at the age of 81. [NYT]

  • Although Donatella Versace and Paul Beck admit that their daughter Allegra suffers from anorexia, the two are ready to sue over reports that the 20-year-old has been hospitalized for treatment of the eating disorder, saying that "remarks...in certain publications in relation to Allegra's state of health do not in any way correspond to the truth." Oh really? The girl is as sickly a young woman as we've seen in a while. We think a hospitalization might be the most prudent course of action. [WWD]
  • Speaking of eating disorders, so-skinny-she-could-fit-into-a-suitcase Christina Ricci has been chosen to represent Samsonite's "Fashionaire" collection of luggage. [WWD]
  • The fashion industry gets its own version of the East Coast vs. West Coast rap wars! NYC apparel emporium Intermix is heading to L.A and the owner of Kitson is none too happy. [WWD]
  • The NY Times' wonderful Eric Wilson sanely questions this new trend in turbans. [NYTimes]

Actress and fashion iconoclast Chloe Sevigny implies that she's unable to afford Proenza Schouler... just like the rest of us losers. [WWD]

The fashion industry is a big player in the economy of New York City. And former CFDA president Stan Herman thinks Project Runway is a big player in the travesty that is contemporary popular culture. [WWD]

Two women in turbans made Vogue's best-dressed list for the week. Also in abundance: Designs by Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci and Carolina Herrera. [Style.com]

Fashionista's got the inside scoop on the new Libertine capsule collection for Target. We're loving the hot-pink cardigan and printed tees in particular. [Fashionista]

We on the other hand have just three words to say about turbans.

Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

[Turbans are great blah blah blah]
