Fashion News Roundup: Pendleton To Design For Hipsters, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan May Sue Elle For Lightening Her Skin and Is Elle Moving to New Jersey?

Pendleton To Design New Line: Pendleton is tapping into their young hipster fanbase and creating a new line called Pendleton, The Portland Collection. It will be unveiled next month to launch for Fall 2011. {WWD subscription required}
Is Elle Moving to New Jersey?: Apparently Lagardère, who owns Elle, is considering two offers for the mag: one from Hearst and one from German publisher, Bauer. While Bauer publishes several mags overseas, they also publish titles in the US, namely tabloid weeklies In Touch and Life & Style, out of their US headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey (we know this because one time we worked at Bauer for three weeks–and that commute sucks so much). So if Bauer buys Elle, they might end up, gasp, in New Jersey! {WWD subscription required}
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan May Sue Elle For Lightening Her Skin: There’s some controversy brewing as to whether Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s skin was lightened in her Elle India cover and now the Hindustan Times is reporting that she is “in disbelief” and may “take action.” {Hindustan Times}
Willow Smith Is Still Effing Adorable: Willow Smith looks amazing in this shoot for the UK’s Sunday Times’s Style magazine. There’s a behind the scenes vid, too. {Daily Mail}

OMG I got this issue day before and my mom and I were discussing how her skin looks so much lighter and she looks like, 5 years younger than she is. Oh, India and our relentless obsession with fairness. The post colonial hangover never ends.
ha, the light skin thing is way older than colonialism!
She looks stunning… And she looks more beautiful with her original skin tone (which is fair, but not white). If they do this to the most beautiful woman in the world… what message are they sending to the normal people?
oh noes! A fair-skinned blue-eyed Indian woman ‘in disbelief’ and may ‘take action’ because her skin’s been lightened?
It seems like a lawsuit would be a lost opportunity for her to address India’s preferential treatment of the lighter-skinned that is as old as the caste system.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make? If you’re fair you can’t be against preferential treatment to the fairer skinned people?
That’s like saying that if you’re white you can’t be against discrimination against darker skinned people :/
Genuinely confused.
I wish we could see the Pendleton collection without having a W subscription. I’m interested to see what they do with it. I have a vintage Pendleton shirt that is amazingly warm and a beautiful tartan and I am always looking for more inspiration.
