Between Two Ferns: Along with millions of others, Britt and I saw The Hangover this weekend. It’s awesome. Zach Galifianakis kills. And so does his wardrobe, key pieces of which the kids over at the LA Times tracked down. We would be honored to join his wolfpack. {All the Rage}

Smile, You’re on Sara’s Camera: Sara Ziff just might be the Michael Moore of the modeling world. Prepare to be disturbed by what you see. {Fashionologie}

Stylishly Social: This timeline of socialite fashion makes us really miss Carolyn Bessette. {Refinery29}

Call Us: Apparently Bar and Leo have broken up. We’d like Mr. DiCaprio to note that while we may not be supermodels, we do care deeply about the environment and Scorsese films. {People }

Knickers in a Twist: A retrospective on the history of underwear opens on Friday at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London. Function meets fashion indeed. {Times UK}

Bad Idea Jeans: We don’t think it’s a very good call for Peaches Geldof (or anyone for that matter) to have slumber parties with Courtney Love. Same goes for Love designing clothes. {Grazia}

Haha, cute on the Leo thing! I've always had a crush on him, too. :) Alas, I'm not a supermodel, either. But a girl can dream...

about the Sara Ziff film, most straight male photographers I've worked with have that air of skeezy about them.

i would love to know who the 2 top photographers mentioned in the article were.

The article and documentary trailer give me very ambivalent feelings towards fashion that make me quite uncomfortable.
As someone who appreciates style and tries to keep up on the latest in the fashion and modeling world(s), it disgusts me to be even loosely associated with such a despicable and seedy subculture. We are all complicit by association and lack of action in what is essentially child pornography and sexual victimization.
Doesn't this enrage/shock/shame anyone else?

#3, unfortunately it's a subculture that's nothing new at all. It would take something dramatic (someone filing rape charges) to shake things up. Nudity and sexuality are long accepted as part of fashion, and so is the practice of using teenage girls to convey those messages. She's not a teenager, but I'll never forget the interview with Lara Stone and some photographer (whose name escapes me) who turned the whole interview into a pervy pickup exercise. It wouldn't shock me if worse things happened out of print.
