Tyra Banks Bravely Tweets a Photo of Her 'Muffin Top'
LatestTyra Banks Tweeted this photo of what she described as her “juicy muffintop.” And thanks to Tyra Banks’ selfless action, millions of women and girls around the world now feel better about their bodies. For good measure, the supermodel mogul included the hashtags #assmaintenance and #perfectisboring. (What is she, trying to shame perfect people now? Perfect-shaming? How are perfect Americans supposed to feel about that?) [@TyraBanks]
Karl Lagerfeld explains the Chanel hula-hoop bag in this video. It’s big because “You need space for the beach towel. And then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it.” So it’s a portable towel rack. Awesome. Then Lagerfeld added, “It’s not up to me to say it is chic. I thought it was but I cannot say it myself.” [Telegraph]

Raf Simons talks about his first Dior women’s ready-to-wear collection in this video. “The main idea was about freedom,” he pronounces in his stern, Belgian fashion. “But also sensuality, sexuality, the future, the modern, movement.” Then he goes on to consider the coat-dress — “it’s kind of like a new jacket, one could say, or it’s kind of like a jacket-dress, or is it a dress, or is it a jacket coat? One cannot really say it” — for several minutes. [YouTube]

- Rumor has it that Deborah Needleman was in talks with the New York Times to take over T magazine before Sally Singer even left. Among Needleman’s negotiating points: she wanted a separate publisher for the magazine (not one shared with the poorly performing New York Times Magazine) and a reduction from 15 issues per year to 12. It’s not clear whether she got either, but the Times apparently did have to dip into discretionary funds to meet her salary request (a move that doubtless won’t impress the union still in contract negotiations). Needleman started in her new job two days ago. [WWD]
