Because the day wouldn't be complete without a post about Henry or Agyness, here's a peek at his latest creations:

Custom-made t-shirts for his two biggest glossy fans, Teen Vogue and V Magazine.

As you can see, the Teen Vogue shirt boasts rhinestones similar to those used in Henry's Fall '97 collection. It stars in a June spread for the magazine, where Agyness and her Holland shirt are discussed at length, but its actual slogan can't be printed because it's too dirty for a teen publication!

(For the record, it's FLICK YOUR BEAN FOR AGYNESS DEYN, which is sort of... ew).

You can win the Teen Vogue tee by going to their website and entering a raffle. If you prefer to make your own, read the latest issue for directions from Henry himself (and a fantastic article on Sasha Pivavorova, where the model shares some of her illustrations with Kimball Hastings).

Meanwhile, V Magazine is selling their limited edition House of Holland tees, which include the one at right, plus another that screams I'D UNZIP MY JEANS FOR V MAGAZINE in dark purple writing. The shirts cost $95 on the V website, which could also buy you 25% of a copy of Visionaire...

Adorable design team and Gen Art superstars the Beckermans ( www.beckermans.com ) have the cutest Ray-Ban-inspired sunglass necklace for summer (and maybe for brightening up winter too?).

It comes in either rhodium/platinum or gold plated with a 24’ chain, and can be worn two ways – with the sunglasses going vertically or horizontally. I love options! But actually my favorite thing about the Beckermans is that the designers are three sisters – twins and their little sis (just like my family!)

For all you Wayfarer fans and Wayfarer naysayers out there – what’s the verdict on this one? Would you wear it?

Dior Beaute announced today that Eva Green is their new face.

This marks the first time Ms. Green has done a campaign not connected to one of her films (Armani was a Dreamers tie-in), and it comes at a very good time:

Eva's ads for Dior Parfum should hit magazines just before her new film, His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass gets released in theatres.

We couldn't be more excited for that movie, and as for the ads, it brings Eva into very good company:

The only other actresses who have campaigned with Dior's makeup brand are Gwyneth Paltrow and Charlize Theron. Meanwhile, Devon Aoki is a solid model/actress who's done their clothing ads, and if Gemma's film career takes off, she'll be another one to add to that list.

Alert reader Rachael tipped us off on these two dresses from Mango .

They look eerily similar to Gucci’s runway looks, with one major difference:

The Mango versions retail for $185 (for the long one with the purple contrast trim), and $199 (for the flouncy golden dress with the tiers and the shimmer, and the kind of yellow undertone best saved for tequila shots).

The dresses are kind of a rip, especially because the gold dress has that special aura of unflattering items with an inevitable one-way ticket to the clearance rack - off the shoulder and voluminous?

Perhaps for fandango lessons, or incredibly thin girls a la Nicole.

Also criminal:

That Mango chose to copy these gowns...

Instead of the incredible bohemian mini-dresses worn by Lily Donaldson and Freja on the runway!

Yesterday, Cathy Horyn wrote on her blog, "What is alarming is that fashion is such an oligarchy today — yes, more than in the past, despite the rise of independent magazines, blogs, and small hardy labels."

I admit I looked up oligarchy, which is a republic ruled by a very small elite.

Once I knew what it meant, I felt her idea was something that was both so true and so false that it needs more discussion (and, apparently, my dictionary).

On the one hand, it's an unfortunate fact that much of fashion is now manufactured and assembled like swing sets from Sears. Watching The Today Show and their constant barrage of "style rules" feels a little like learning third grade multiplication tables, with better florals. The Hollywood red carpets are similar, except the guidelines include a love of soy substitutes, a nod to Marchesa, and a boyfriend who's friends with Ashton Kutcher.

Meanwhile, Cathy often illuminates the influence of Vogue, as it extends beyond its pages and into American boardrooms and homes with unprecedented - almost laser like - force. A good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you view it, but most certainly in keeping with the oligarchy theory.

And yet...

Fashion can't really go from Vogue or Rockefeller Plaza, or the Chanel boutique or Old Navy or the thrift store, until you decide to buy something, to pull something on, and to wear it outside.

So in a strange way, fashion is also one of the most democratic mediums we have, because ultimately, its very existence is decided by the masses.

Financial issues cut into that idea substantially, though carrying a Chanel bag doesn't necessarily elevate your level of fashion, just your status within certain circles. One could also argue that until a magazine highlights a certain aesthetic, large groups of people won't embrace it. Okay, but a lot of today's best trends came from the streets first - jeans as appropriate cocktail wear, sneakers to prom, even the needlepoint on this year's Chanel runway and (yes) the keffiyeh scarf at Balenciaga and Dior Homme...

We'll say much more about this in the future, but for now, it's your turn.

Our favorite stylist Josh went to England, Scotland, and Ireland last week, and here's what he found in the TopShops:

The Kate Moss stuff is selling out, but only in the larger sizes.

Apparently, every item - even the coveted stuff like the blossom dress - is still available in the tiny sizes.

That leaves an interesting problem:

What are they going to do with all the small sizes that don't sell in the UK?

The obvious answer is, put them all on clearance until they're gone.

But we're hearing other reports, that the smallest leftover clothes might come here to America, where Barneys can sell them more readily.

Do you think they'll fly from our shelves?

(As background: the blossom dress has already zipped from Barneys Coop, after a record 2 days on sale. And I saw it on a normal sized girl in Tompkins Square Park; she looked like a rock star.)

Christian Lorentzen’s vaguely sociological cover story for Time Out New York reports on the hipster as a vampire-like bricoleur.

According to Lorentzen, hordes of hipster “zombies� are roaming the LES and Williamsburg converting the authentic and the ethnic to luxury condos with their relentless consumerism, Elvis Costello glasses, and killing “cool.�

Whether you buy Lorentzen’s argument or not, can we talk about what’s going on in the cover photo?

This guy doesn’t look like a hipster to me, and here’s why:

Cheesy graphic t-shirt. What hipster would have a shirt that was so clean and new, let alone one with a cheerful “disco� graphic?

White belt. We haven’t seen too many of these since around 2000-2001, and especially not after the “white belt backlash� circa 2002.

Double wallet chain. Or even one wallet chain? Is he a hipster or a high school skateboarder/hackey-sack dude/stoner? What would he have on there, keys? No way, he wouldn’t have keys because he would be crashing on your couch while he “looked for a place� and he wouldn’t have a wallet because he would borrow $5 dollars from you and “pay you back later.�

Clean shaven. Hipsters who shave? Right now it seems like every hipster guy, if he doesn’t have a full-on mystical mountain man beard, he at least hasn’t shaved in three days.

Did I miss anything?

British Vogue reports that Vivienne Westwood's life will become a movie.

Rumors say Brian Grazer, the producer behind A Beautiful Mind, will help this project, though so far, no details have been released.

Of course, the most exciting thing about the upcoming movie, besides how much vintage Westwood will be used on-set, is which actress will play Vivienne herself.

We can't imagine Ms. Westwood would let an American represent her onscreen, so that leaves Kate Winslet for a brilliant and slightly batty Vivienne, Emily Blunt for a younger and more steely Vivienne, and Nicole Kidman because she has both red hair and an Oscar.

Who do you want to play Vivienne Westwood?

We've heard from three separate sources this week that the Erin Fetherston for Target line is happening next February.

This confirms the rumor we reported back in February, and it means we'll be very happy shoppers come winter.

It also means for the first time, celebrity faces may be involved in a Target brand - remember, Erin used Kirsten Dunst to launch her first ready-to-wear collection, and Zooey Deschanel to introduce her second.

Will a star agree to help Erin with her Target line? Or will she rely on favorite models like Lily Cole to spread the word?

Shoppers are still saving for The Row, but Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen announced today that they have a new clothing venture, called Elizabeth and James.

WWD reports the line was named for the younger Olsen siblings, and was created by Peter Koral and Jane Siskin, the creators of Seven For All Mankind and LaRok. Mary Kate tells Women's Wear, "We wanted it to be based on a relationship between a young girl and a boy and tell the story through the clothing."

Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Intermix will carry the collection this fall. Prices start at around $80 and go up to about $600.

Also: we hear it was heavily influenced by pieces from Mary Kate's vintage collection, and includes several shiny slip dresses, some hot pants, and a pinstripe menswear vest tailored extra skinny. Sound familiar?

First Kate Moss gets her own font, and now it seems the House of Holland is coming soon to a Word Doc near you.

Dazed and Confused is the first magazine to use Henry's addictive and often-copied lettering as font!

Check out their new photo contest, which broadcasts its entries with giant HOH letters - easy enough to create by hand, but putting them onto your computer as a typeface takes some major effort... or some cooperation from Henry himself, who's worked with Dazed on their shoots in the past.

At least we're not the only ones obsessed...

Last year, my friend Jordan called me.

"Nicholas Andreas Taralis," he said. "It's amazing. I can't get over it."

I'd never heard of him before, but I rushed online to find his clothes, and also to find myself agreeing with Sarah Mower, who wrote how the designer made her think "all over again, of the huge void left by Helmut Lang."

Though Taralis has yet to take off commercially, he's just accepted a very interesting offer to do his own capsule collection for UNIQLO.

Right now, the collection will only release in Japan and Europe, though if it's successful - and if the industry here clamors loud enough for it - there's certainly potential for an American crossover.

So please UNIQLO, bring us the Nicholas!

This week in The Look Book, Amy Larocca bypasses the usual unknowns for an actual celebrity:

Actress Parker Posey.

Her Look Book interview mentions her Marc Jacobs bag, her celebrity status at Marc Jacobs (the bag was free), and how her puppy bit some woman, but it was all okay because Parker Posey is - yes - famous.

That's all lovely, but what we really liked was the tunic that Parker was wearing, which she definitely got at Urban Outfitters.

You can too, for $58.

It's not as cool as a pink sweatshirt with the word "SENIORS" ironed onto it, but there are only so many fashion moments a cinema girl can have...

Style critic Sarah Mower has always been one of our idols, so when she writes on anything - even the hoarse debate on too-skinny models - we're bound to listen.

Her thoughts, as outlined today in The London Telegraph, start with '90s supermodels, who were considerably rounder than the Lilies and Sashas of now.

Sarah asserts that when these women left the industry, so did the craziness and fun of fashion, "and that makes a less healthy atmosphere."

Sarah also makes the most realistic statement yet about today's top girls: "The only thing that would put more flesh on models' bones is a worldwide shift in aesthetics."

How do we get there?

Mower's accompanying piece - on her teen daughter's obsession with shorts - might be key. As a new generation of style consumers comes up, their preferences will dictate the market, and influence the new iconography. If today's teens reject industry standards, the fashion world will have to follow them, or else lose millions.

After all, the only reason those girls are so skinny is so they can sell you things...

Portfolio's Lauren Goldstein Crowe tracked the new Burberry Icon bags - and their new 4-digit prices - this year.

She found that as the bag's prices went up, so did their demand.

Currently, the Beaton bag retails for $2000, which makes it the most expensive Burberry bag yet. And the bag is sold out of almost every Burberry store in America.

Meanwhile, we think the bag is beautiful, but it doesn't stop us dead in our tracks. Which makes us wonder:

Is paying an extreme price for a bag a shopper's badge of honor? Or if this same bag retailed at Coach for $395 (or even Burberry for $395), would it fade into the background of branded accessories?

Lately it seems like every girl in New York is running around with a big clunky skeleton key on a long chain around her neck.

The vintage look is cool, but it loses its unique, mysterious, “I’ve got a-hidden-treasure in a dusty old trunk� sensibility when everyone else has the exact same key leading nowhere.

If you love keys but want something slightly different and less wishy-washy romantic, this modern version from Brooklyn-based Polish jewelry designer Iwona Ludyga is great. It dangles on a dainty 16 inch gold chain, and better yet, looks almost exactly like a miniaturized version my real front door key!

And it’s only $65. I think it costs more than that to copy the high-tech key to my building.

ESSAY QUESTION.

Please explain the symbolism, inherent irony (if any), and foreshadowing in the following advertisement, created by Conde Nast and Vogue, and entitled Point of Passion.

The subject of the work is Natalia Vodianova, the Russian supermodel and face of Calvin Klein, who memorably testafied at Diane Von Furstenberg's model summit that she starved herself after the birth of her first child to ensure further success in the industry.

In this piece, Natalia holds her second child, Neva Portman. Natalia is now pregnant with her third child, as you may be able to see in the photograph.

The text of the image reads, "It's not just reading, it's a rite of passage."

A larger reproduction of the piece is below. You have thirty minutes. Please, no texting during the exam.

Our eagle-eyed reader Marisa spotted this "U-Neck Dress" at Bloomingdale's for $78. The dress is from Aqua, the Bloomingdale's house brand.

The curious thing?

The dress is also from Kimchi & Blue, a house label from Urban Outfitters. Their dress was originally $78, the same as the Bloomingdale's brand, but now it's $48 on sale.

So what's going on here? Did these dresses come through the same factory? Is Bloomingdale's secretly sending Urban's it's kickbacks? And - most important - if you wore the dress and someone asked you where you got it, would you say Urban's or Bloomie's?

Or, "Oh, it's so old, it's vintage."

Hi, I’m Alison Cool (yes, my real last name!) and I’m Fashionista's new editor-at-large. You can drop me a line at alison@fashionista.com

In the days and weeks to come I’ll be writing about emerging and up-and-coming designers, posting pictures of great street style, contemplating accessories, checking out shops around town, and waxing deep about shoes.

Around July I’m heading over to Stockholm, Berlin, and Paris to report on what those crazy kids are up to over there and what they’re wearing out on the town. (And stocking up on Cheap Monday jeans and Repetto shoes, of course.)

Some of the things that I’m really into are street fashion, youth trends, vintage everything, weird handmade stuff, big floral prints, nerdy outfits, the color purple, and the cape that Mick Jagger wears in “Gimme Shelter.�

A few of my favorite fashion icons are Chantal Goya, Patti Smith, Anna Karina, and Joan Didion. (The best brunettes of the 60s and 70s!)

Hope you’ll join me for the ride!

Joining a group of political commentators that includes Bill Maher and Jake Gyllenhaal’s mom, Donna Karan is Huffington Post blogger/contributor #4,928.

In her own words, Karan has gotten to a point in her life “where I want to ‘address’ people, not simply ‘dress’ them.�

DKNY already has three posts up about health care and making “health care more caring.� With her friend Sonja Nuttal, Donna has launched the Urban Zen Initiative in New York, a sort of summit for “the world's leading doctors, nurses, yoga teachers, integrative health practitioners and others who want to transform the way patients are treated.�

Now the big question:

When will Stella McCartney guest blog about animal rights?

Alissa, 28, puppy clothing designer

Got Her: Outside Cafe Habana on Elizabeth St.

Stalked Her: Because we're a sucker for red shoes with an otherwise neutral outfit...

Shot Her: Because this is a great example of how to wear a peasant blouse to work: the oversize cropped jacket; the coordinating patterns; the straight leg (not skinny!) jeans - it's a good combo.

She Says: "My bag is vintage and I collect these bracelets from Denmark - their patterns are like photographs of Danish lace; they were really popular over there in the '70s. Now I find them on eBay for like $7."

We Say: We're developing a pattern...

The IHT has a story on My Blueberry Nights, the film by Wong Kar Wei starring Nora Jones, and a Louis Vuitton gown that they paid for her to wear:

"Today, the sure bet in Hollywood is not dressing stars for a film's premiere, it's getting screen time alongside them," writes author Jessica Michault... Wong Kar Wei wore Louis Vuitton suits while acting as the head of the [Cannes] festival jury last year and then contacted the company when he started working on My Blueberry Nights.... In the end, the association is a subtle one: a set of keys that play an important role have a Louis Vuitton key chain; that cherry-blossom print dress from Vuitton's spring/summer 2005 collection is worn in a pivotal scene; and bags with the Epi leather and LV logo are worn casually in shots where the focus is on everyday life, not fashion. Awareness of the Louis Vuitton brand seeps into the psyche over the course of the film."

This isn't the first time a fashion house has sponsored a movie - Givenchy was Audrey Hepburn's personal costume designer, and recently, Calvin Klein provided all the clothes for Trust the Man with Julianne Moore.

Still, the implications of the partnership are interesting: that costume design is no longer just art but commerce; that overpriced monograms can become as important as dialogue; that fashion consumers like you may have trained yourselves to ignore traditional ads completely.

But will Louis get new shoppers with this movie? Or is it just another way to get the film's stars - Nora, Jude Law, and Natalie Portman - to wear Vuitton on the red carpet?

Leaving Victoria's Secret might be the best thing that happened to Gisele Bundchen.

After rumors of an H&M line, a Cacharel campaign, and a series of YSL ads all surfaced, Gisele is the face of yet another brand:

Aquascutum.

WWD reports she just shot the ads with Mario Sorrenti (our favorite of Kate Moss' ex boyfriends). She'll star with Jamie Dornan, the mildly famous model-turned-actor who romanced Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette (and Lindsay, Keira, etc. in real life).

Besides being sexy, the ad is something of a milestone: It means a brand that shows at London Fashion Week has scored a major celebrity face... something that hasn't really happened yet.

Is this another sign of the London kids getting hauter? Or just Gisele's way of keeping busy?

Those not content with Audrey Tatou's recent casting coup should take heart:

There are two other Chanel movies in the works, and one of them - the American one - hasn't been cast.

Though Demi Moore's name has been bandied for the role, we also like Cate Blanchett as a choice.

Why?

This weekend, we found our old Vogue Australia from 2003, when Karl Lagerfeld guest edited the entire publication and Cate Blanchett starred as Coco Chanel in one of his shoots.

Below are some of our favorite shots - you can see the rest at the wonderful Cate Blanchett fansite, or perhaps next year in a movie theater...

Now that Top Model is over, fashion TV junkies are free to think on their next obsession:

Project Runway.

Though the show is just beginning its fourth season, there's one rumor that already won't quit:

Sarah Ferguson, Dutchess of York, may be a guest judge on the show.

Apparently, Fergie met with Heidi Klum earlier this year, and the two enjoyed each other's company so much, they decided to work together.

We have no doubt that Sarah Ferguson is lovely, but is she fit to evaluate a fashion contest?

Perhaps this rumor has gotten lost in translation: After all, Fergie - the Black Eyed Pea - would be perfect on the show.

Today, Style Bubble is both shocked and awed that the Anya Hindmarch bags are, apparently, made from plastic.

They were manufactured in China, and according to the Evening Standard, they were created in a standard factory that didn't follow Fair Trade procedures.

However, I think there's a big "but" here that nobody's addressed.

Technically, Anya Hindmarch never said their bags were organic - they simply said they were releasing them to raise awareness of fair trade practices and to reduce the use of plastic bags by women who shop regularly.

It's true that the bag is hypocrital, and it's unfortunate that it doesn't follow the standards it wants to set.

However, if it's driven hundreds of thousands of women to carry it - or any reusable bag - instead of requesting plastic bags in supermarkets and shoppinging centers, isn't that the whole point?

Well, that's really your decision. Is the Not Plastic bag still a force for good? Or has its discovered origins tainted the message?

Personally, I haven't used a plastic bag at a supermarket or even a clothing store since I heard about the campaign...

We screeched to a halt in the East Village yesterday, when we passed a window with the Patrick Robinson print inside of it.

Alas, the new Gap designer hasn't licensed his Target prints for a home line, but the brand KitchenWear seems to have taken a fancy to them.

Here's Patrick's famous Aegean print, turned from brown to black and flipped around a bit, then stamped on oven mitts and aprons for the various Nigellas and Giadas of the world.

We think the apron is adorable - and the pattern makes it easy to hide stains from cooking - but there is one giggly irony:

This apron costs significantly more than the Target dress!

Coach's corporate offices caught on fire yesterday, and today's morning news says one of the company's employees is indirectly responsible:

The person didn't put out a cigarette while smoking on the roof.

We hear no staffers are being held responsible, and - even better - it seems because the building is damaged anyway, most Coach employees are taking today off to get their logo luggage out to the Hamptons early.

The fire didn't affect any actual Coach bags - this is just their corporate office and not their store, remember - but still...

It brings some new irony to their new "Blow Up" comic book keychain, doesn't it?

Is Alessandra Facchinetti the new Valentino head?

WWD reports the designer is in advanced talks with the label. If it's true, she'll take over as creative director of the line once the actual Valentino retires.

For those of you asking, "Alessandra Who?" here's some info:

She's the Italian daughter of Euro pop star Roby Facchinetti.

She took over for Tom Ford at Gucci, and lasted barely two seasons before the house replaced her with their accessories director, Frida Giannini.

She's barely 35, and gorgeous.

Though that last part is incidental, it will be weirdly relevant if Alessandra takes the Valentino reigns - while men running women's labels can choose their muses, women in the same role become the face of their house by default.

Donatella Versace and Vivienne Westwood are undoubtedly the souls of their brand, but even women who have taken over existing houses - Phoebe Philo when she was at Chloe, Isabel Toledo now at Anne Klein - seem to become the spirit of their clothes.

What Alessandra can bring to the table on all fronts - design and personality - will likely be under a microscope until Valentino shows his couture collection in Rome this July - rumor has it, that's when he'll announce his successor...

Omega Moon, 26, musician and artist

Got Her: At the New York Studio School

Stalked Her: Because even with the mud flap hat, we were in love with the outfit.

Shot Her: Because of that jacket!!!

She Says: "I got the jacket in Antwerp, really cheap, and since then it's been all over the world with me. That's the best way to shop, in pieces, as you go travel. That way your outfit tells a story... I especially like the studs on the back of the jacket; can you see them? And my t-shirt is from Tokyo. It's a Basquiat painting. It's too obvious for you, isn't it?"

We Say: Home is where the art is.

Earlier this afternoon, a bulk of fashion editors and scenesters got this MySpace message, sent from Marc Jacob's personal assistant:

"Hey everyone... Marc Jacobs just joined myspace and wants some cool friends... Add him! He's my number one friend, just click him and add him..."

We clicked, and found the first official Marc Jacobs MySpace page, where he tells us he likes...

"Yoga, Working Out, Dining With Friends, Walking Alfred &; Daisy, Going To Galleries. Collecting Art."

Marc's page plays Sonic Youth and his top friends are Samantha Ronson and Jenna Jamison. At number one is Jason Preston, the boy who famously tattooed Marc's logo across his arm, as a sign of devotion.

Guess they're back together.

WE LOVE MARC!

Vogue Paris reports that Naomi Campbell is signed on for the lead role in a film.

She'll star in a romantic comedy called Bad Love, which follows an actress who is unlucky in love.

The picture is directed by Catherine Breillat, who earned the nickname "porno auteuriste" in her native France for her slew of films on sexuality and life.

Catherine tells Vogue Paris that she was "touched by Naomi's modesty and humility."

Translation: the film is going to be amazing, because apparently, Naomi is a very good actress!

We can't wait to see the finished movie, which will be released in October or November.

Todd, 25, painter

Got Him: At the New York Studio School during the MFA student showcase, where his paintings (including the one behind him) were up for sale.

Stalked Him: To be fair, we've been stalking Todd all year. But we also admired the waffle-knit red tie and the way that no matter how hard he tries, his clothes are still stained with oil paint.

Shot Him: Because he's figured out a way to layer pieces of various lengths with expert nonchalance. Because he looks like he actually lives in his Converse; he doesn't just wear them. Because we're a sucker for art kids with style. And also because he's cute.

He Says: "Everyone should be impressed that I managed to find some clean clothes... but I had to. My grandparents are here."

We Say: Flashbacks of John Currin and Rachel Feinstein, pre Marc Jacobs ads, of course.

WHICH cool boutique in the city keeps losing cute male staffers? The manager gives them free clothes, then lets the boys know they owe him sexual favors. Instead of complying, they split for other stores.

We’ve been obsessed with the letter print from Luella Bartley’s Spring 2007 ready-to-wear line since Gemma and Irina wore it down the runway.

Apparently we’re not the only ones.

It’s been showing up everywhere we look, in both an “as-inspired-by� way and a “direct-copy� way (Forever 21, we know you've done it...).

Even though LB already put her new logo on a pair of shoes (a blazer, pair of pants/shorts, bag, skirt), A-Life stamped it on a pair of slides with a super cute result (it may be a guy's sneaker, but we can imagine it's smallest size paired with a Marc dress).

And Toast and Tables spotted it in a more unusual way: silk-screened tablecloths, votives and napkin rings.

Luella: So cute you could eat it.

A secret:

The first thing I bought when I moved to New York was a Charlotte Ronson dress.

It was cream, with little flowers, and I wore it for two weeks straight, which seemed to make it cooler. I couldn't explain it to my then-roommates, but something about the tiny print, the a-line shape, and the pink label made me feel like I finally belonged in the city - pretending not to care, but secretly swooning. At different points, I felt like a Reading Festival VIP, a sister from The Virgin Suicides, and a Soho DJ.

And this is the magic of Charlotte. Somehow, her simple clothes make you feel like the coolest girl in the world.

Her famous addicts like Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan may not need help in that department, but for a girl holed up in Brooklyn, the feeling - and the dress - were priceless.

Four years later, Charlotte has more clothes, more fans, and - yes - a favorite swear word. Get a glimpse of how she does it below...

We hear Ashley Olsen is raising some eyebrows after her appearance at the James Perse store opening on Wednesday.

It's not that Ashley didn't look incredible - she did - or that her presence wasn't appreciated - it was - but, in the words of one retailer, "Why is she posing for photos at another retail chain for t-shirts? She should only be promoting her own t-shirt line, especially because of its price point!"

Translation: Ashley's line, The Row, charges hundreds for a t-shirt... more, even, than James Perse does for their brand.

Was her appearance a wise decision? Or is it the sign of ultimate coolness that a designer* can hype other people's brands - even when they directly compete with their own?

* sorry, "designer."

(and no, before anyone asks, we weren't invited... and we're quite sad we'll miss the MisShapes DJing, but c'est la vie for refusing to embrace cheap khakis as a blessing)...

Is Sienna Miller still dating Jamie Burke, the face of Calvin Klein?

Those watching will probably know by Saturday, when Jamie's band, Bloody Social, plays in Southampton.

Their last concert at Stereo drew a crowd that included Lindsay Lohan and Kate Bosworth, and this one - at the Hyt Me Estate - could be just as exciting for Us Weekly, Perez Hilton, and many others who would never admit in public that they like Jamie's music - or that they like looking at famous people.

If Jamie behaves himself around all the girls at his gig, we can assume his heart is safely locked away in England. If he gives another secret concert in his basement, however, we bet his relationship will soon dissolve so he can concentrate more on modeling.

Or something like that.
