The Barney’s Warehouse Sale: A Play in One Act

[The L Train going east to Brooklyn. BRITT and FARAN sit side-by-side.] BRITT: So how was the Warehouse sale? FARAN: Actually, it was pretty good. There was a lot less Marc by Marc, so the new collection must fit better than past seasons, and there were a handful of Christopher Kane dresses, like the old [...]

Posh Dress Crashes Intermix Server!

Who knew Victoria Beckham could actually move clothes? Last season, she deigned to wear an Herve Leger dress to the Marc Jacobs show, but Marc didn’t seem to mind since he cast the Soccer Mom in his latest ad campaign (next season, Kate Moss?

First Look: Development Has Mean Girls, Skinny Pants

Top Model may cast a dudded group of girls, but not all reality mannequins are sans jobs: Angelika, the mean-spirited and self-righteous cast member of TLC’s A Model Life, is a regular face of Mike & Chris, and now she’s the Look Book girl for Development’s latest line.

Han’s House Hunt?

Spotted: Model Han Jin flying to Milan, in coach. When asked why she wasn’t flying in business class like the other models, Han answered she’d rather save her money for an apartment. That’s pretty cute, but we have to wonder: Did the male passengers fight to sit next to her? We dig a little airline [...]

Adventures in Copyrights: Lim, Dimmed

Lauren at Forbes emails us over some outrage: The 3.1 Phillip Lim top that she found at Fred Segal last season for $320 is now at Forever 21. Except it’s blousier. And yellower. And $22.80. We wonder if Lim has the resources, or the desire, to sue the company, and also what girl thinks she [...]

Spice, Spice Baby

Reader Ashley writes in to say that the Spice Girls concert was amazing but the t-shirts were even funnier than Scary Spice’s hair: Apparently, Posh and the rest heart Henry Holland! The t-shirts feature lyrics from the girls’ most famous songs, all rendered in Henry’s trademark block script. Our favorite? The ones that say “Stop [...]
