Gossip Girl Guesses
May 07, 2008 @ 3:55pm
Ok - we know, alright?
We know Gossip Girl doesn't exactly qualify as news. We know we reference the show a lot as it is. We know it's probably weird to cancel Monday night plans to make sure we're parked on the couch at exactly 8pm.
But you know what else we know? We know Gossip Girl's as good as everyone says it is, and not just for the fashion - yes, we love the plot lines, too.
One of the best parts about Gossip Girl, other than the accessories, is that it's turning out to be a sort of murder mystery, and we've realized that all of the episodes are littered with clues.
So allow us to indulge ourselves (and if the comments section is to be believed, to indulge you guys, too) by musing a bit on what we think is going to happen in the next two episodes.
Please don't click through if you aren't up to speed with the show. Spoilers abound...
Jessica Stam, DJ
May 07, 2008 @ 2:56pm
Now that Agyness Deyn is back in Europe, a new model must take the reigns of DJ decks across New York.
Ladies and gentlemen, that model is Jessica Stam.
The blonde who claims The Virgins as her favorite band and Anthony Kiedis as her ex-boyfriend will take the turntables next week at Eyebeam Studios, when The Down To Earth party hypes Women's Health Magazine (which we're sure Stam has never been in) and The Environmental Media Association.
But can Stam actually DJ?
Well, probably not, but maybe she's been taking night lessons:
Besides being pals with Leigh Lezark of The MisShapes, she also dated DJ AM, who seems to know a thing or two about mix tapes.

"Duvets (the Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova) and tartan crinolines (Sarah Jessica Parker) have previously been requisitioned hot off the catwalks, giving bloggers endless pleasure as they earnestly debated the unfolding catastrophes. This year the actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg came as a lung, Kate Moss as a barmaid and Katie Holmes - Mrs Tom Cruise - finally outed herself as a Thetan." --The London Times on the Met Ball.
Vogue: Who's Best Dressed?
May 07, 2008 @ 1:20pm
You might be able to turn all that Met Ball office banter into some actual cash -
Vogue just announced their first ever Viewer's Choice Awards for the clothes we've all seen a zillion times since Monday night.
Starting Friday, you can log on to the Vogue.tv site and vote for your favorite look from the gala, and enter to win two round trip tickets to a $2,500 shopping spree at J. Mendel and two nights at the Lowell Luxury Hotel in NYC.
You have until May 16, but if you think that's a tough deadline, just think of poor Alexandra Kotur who has to manage the politics of the ten best dressed by Monday morning.
Our votes?
Britt can't decide between Christina Ricci and Lou Doillon, Brett likes Zac/Kate Mara and Kate Bosworth, and Natalie thinks both Christina Ricci and Julie Gilhart walked the ball attire/superhero line to great effect.
You?
Love is Blind. We Are Not. Pay Day.

Which super awesome, uber fashionable stylist still owes her poor assistant $2,500 from shoots that took place in 2007? The spreads turned out to be awesome and the assistant's sworn off fashion - but she still wants her money...
A New Doctor
May 07, 2008 @ 12:00pm
Jerry Kaye, former creative director for Perry Ellis, has just been named head designer for Dr. Martens.
That's probably the most sensible fashion appointment we've ever heard.
Kaye came on as Men's fashion director at Ellis in 1993, the same year Marc Jacobs was fired, and stayed up until 2005 when he launched his own consulting firm working with clients like Levi's.
Hartmarx, the company that owns Dr. Marten's and hopes to expand into ready-to-wear, chose Kaye because of his "vast experience in taking heritage brands and making them modern and relevant in today's marketplace."
We're still waiting for our new docs to arrive in the mail, (they're a gift and we'll be scribbling all over them), and now we'll also be waiting to see Kaye's take on the classic shoe.
The question is, will we actually wear them?
Heatherette Break-Up: Bogus?
May 07, 2008 @ 11:00am
We all know there's been a ton of rumors lately that Richie Rich and Traver Rains are walking on separate yellow brick roads these days, but some recent developments might prove otherwise -
First, the glitter boys shot a prom-themed spread for ELLEgirl with Lydia Hearst right after the rumors of their demise swirled Gossip Girl-style all over the internet.
Now, we've learned that they're flying out to LA with Paper Magazine today as special guests at Playboy's Playmate of the Year Luncheon since they custom designed the winning bunny's dress - and we were told this by a concerned Heatherette fan that wanted to help "squash the rumors."
So now the real question is - are these one-time events for the sake of the good old days?
Or can we all expect a blowout show in September?

"So what we really want to know is - will you name a pair of panties after us?" - Faran to Agent Provocateur founder - and son of Vivienne Westwood - Joe Corre, at the AP party last night.
He swore he would and promised pictures as soon as "The Britt" and "The Faran" are finished.
Scott Schuman Too Handsome for Gap Ads
May 07, 2008 @ 9:30am
Sad news in the world of campaigns:
We hear that Scott Schuman, the marvelous photographer behind The Sartorialist, has been cut from the upcoming Gap ads.
The story of how / why is unclear, but it's obviously and angrily because he's just too damn handsome to star in a photo spread about chinos.
We look forward to seeing the fantastic Mr. Schuman recast in another slew of commercial pictures -
Maybe he can be the Mac, and Fashionista can be the PC, in the next round of Apple hype.
We love you, Scott!
xoxo Fashionista.
Daisy Lowe for AP... Again?!
May 07, 2008 @ 9:00am
Awesome fashion question to follow last night's awesome Agent Provocateur party:
Is Daisy Lowe getting recast in the A.P. ads this Fall?!
We really hope the rumor is true, because Daisy is not only a very cool girl, but she's a girl with a very healthy, incredible body, and one that could proudly represent young women in a campaign for sexy, powerful, cool girls.
There's only one question:
How will Daisy handle her new job as a TV talk show hostess with her upcoming campaign duties as the face of one of Britain's biggest and coolest brands?
Multitasking works best in ruffled panties, yes?
