Michelle At Fashion Week; More Katie For Miu Miu
Latest- There’s the usual gloom, sex, scandal and, ahem, 50 Cent’s makeup line – today, but first, brace yourselves: Michelle Obama has not RSVP’d to Fashion Week. This woman’s priorities are way out of whack! [WWD]
- About Fitty: he’s starting a men’s grooming line, containing both moisturizers and supplements. Quoth “someone,” “his range will be for the guy who likes to be pampered, but the supplements will make it more butch.” [Yahoo via New York]
- Katie Holmes‘ latest batch of Miu Miu photos is “softer” than the last: Read, she’s lying around dreamily in firelight. [Popsugar]
- A bunch of children’s Harajuku Lovers Hooded Jackets by Gwen Stefani are being recalled in California because their defective ties are a “strangulation risk.” [CPSC]
- Kelly Cutrone, who’s cut an awesomely bitchy swath across the reality show landscape, may now be getting her own. Fashion PR doyenne Cutrone, who’s stirred pots on The City and The Hills, has inked an eight-episode deal with Bravo for a show that follows her, presumably, insulting people at her company People’s Revolution. [New York Post]
- Alexander McQueen brings a touch of punk to a Target near you: “The heart of McQ is rebellious youth culture, a certain spirit that embodies the regular line as well as the Target collection. It’s an ‘eighties punk aesthetic that evokes the anarchy and social change of the time. Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.” [New York]
- Victoria’s Secret is introducing a new, green fragrance line to the bordello, plus a perfume that “smells like lace.” [Racked]

- It’s not much, but they’ll take it: LVMH reported a “slim annual increase” and flat profits for the year. [WSJ]
- In case no one was sure that Lorenzo Martone was Marc Jacobs‘ boy toy, the Brazilian looker sported, to the premiere of He’s Just Not That Into You, a shirt bearing the immortal words: “Do me in the park. Marc.” [New York Post]
- Sometimes there’s just no point in paraphrasing the perfection of the British press:
“Alice Hawkins looks like Dolly Parton and likes to hang out with gangsters, showgirls and topless models. She also happens to be one of the fashion world’s hottest photographers.” [Telegraph] - Oh noes! Teri Agins, the respected Wall Street Journal fashion writer, is a recession casualty. [Forbes]
- Hey, remember that cute “I die. Bananas” tee? Yeah, cease and desist. Zoe has them trademarked. [New York]
- DVF just threw an odd luncheon, the guest list of which included Diana Ross, James Frey, The City + cameras, and a bunch of designers. Stars: they’re nothing like us! [WWD]
- Ugh: The UGG index is up, which is bad news for real shoes, the economy. [MSNBC]
- UGGS, at least, are total depression-wear: dreary, warm, stolid. The continuing popularity of Crocs? Totally baffling! [Telegraph]
- Zara, one of the other indestructibles, expands its sorta-fast fashion to India. [FT]
- We can add nothing to this: Lilly Pulitzer-print Jeep. [Fashion Week Daily]
- What can we say? Digging on Julia Roitfeld‘s ads for Mango! [Fashionista]
