Price Check

Dolce & Gabbana are feeling the recession just like the rest of us. Well, maybe not just like the rest of us.

Karl vs. Klum

So this weekend Karl Lagerfeld took a “dig” at Heidi Klum, his second of the year. In February he said, “Heidi is no runway model. She is simply too heavy and has too big a bust. And she always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde – that is commercial!” and now he claims not [...]

London’s abuzz with talk of a Galliano retrospective. Like Westwood and Laurent before him, some think it’s time the Dior designer’s eponymous clothes receive full attention in an exhibition at say, the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Would You Wear The New Mullet?

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why the mullet’s become the hot cut in Hollywood? I blame Taylor Momsen. She dabbled in mullets late last year. Then Taraji P. Henson inexplicably traded in her chic bob for a neck cape. And now Kristen Stewart? (Yes, we know it’s for a movie, but [...]
