@Titania: Do you have the links to back that up? It's my understanding that the Trovata photo was entered into evidence during the court case, and is public domain. I used it and the Foley + Corinna picture because both incidents of alleged copying were mentioned in Bloomberg BusinessWeek's article; if either was Read more

@Imaginary Socialite: First of all, let me just say that if I've failed to properly credit you for either or both of these images, you have my sincere and unreserved apologies. I didn't do it out of malice, I simply didn't realize Fashionista.com broke the story of the Foley + Corinna knock-off or the Trovata lawsuit. Read more

@Sandicomm: ??? There were a lot of non-professionals in Tom Ford's women's wear show, but none of them was "plus-size." Unless you consider Beyonce plus-size, that is. Read more

@Jamie Heck: I struggle to imagine that anything Forever 21 sells could be construed as appropriate work wear. Which F21 are you shopping at? Read more

@LuckyFrog: I think disregarding criticism/FOB pieces in favor of only analyzing original reporting is an attempt to differentiate, statistically speaking, between hard-hitting reporting and puffery. Read more

@Lynx: Actually, the NYRB has a lot of women contributors, relatively speaking. Probably because of who founded it. I know what you mean about the readership, though.

@MerlotWinters: As impressive as her (brief) work history is so far, would it really be a step forward for her trans identity to be publicly erased? We've come a long way since the days of Tula (at least, I hope). Read more

@Rare Affinity: Yes, and Lily Cole co-runs a fashion label that bills itself as "Ethical." He is still an actor by trade, and she is still a model/art history student. I don't think either of them are who you'd want to talk to about getting your house LEED certified. Read more

@New to NYC: Actually, and somewhat surprisingly, WWD's story says the leading categories within that $24 million are mascara, eye shadow, and lipgloss. Tweens spend $18 billion on consumer goods across all categories. Read more

@newyorkmuse: It's awesome! And sadly never happens in real life. Shame it takes muppets to point out the obvious, to children. Read more

@EllyVortex: I still miss New Pioneer Co-op and Prairie Lights. The Sports Column, not so much. But Iowa takes all kinds. Read more
