Mood Board: May 2013
Clearly we’re a little influenced by the Met Ball’s punk theme this May, though we’re planning to balance that out with a classic cobalt Madewell purse and a dream trip to the Outer Banks courtesy of Purple Diary.

Until we get our hands on Grace Coddington’s new memoir (Leah’s currently reading it), we’ll settle for poring over the press surrounding the book, for which she says she was “media trained,” but still lets out some good stuff.
She spoke to the New York Times and the Telegraph about the book, her cats, Anna Wintour, her legion of adoring fans post- The September Issue, her friend Nicolas Ghesquiere, who should play her in a movie and why young designers need to have “a few things going wrong in their life.” Read on to obsess over her with us:

Marc Jacobs Spring 2013: Stripped Down and Striped
Pared down. Stripes. Mod. Black and white. No pants. Whereas last season Marc Jacobs dazzled with an elaborate Rachel Feinstein-designed set and a pilgrims-meets-Dr. Suess-meets Jamiroquai collection, for spring 2013 he stripped it down. He even stripped the pants off his models in several instances.

Alexander Wang Spring 2013
We are voting for this collection as one of the best Alexander Wang’s done in several seasons. He took leather garments, seemingly cut them in many pieces, then sewed the pieces loosely back together with some sort of magical invisible thread that left strips of skin peeking through–the line notes kept referring to it as a “suspended” detail. It was a technique that almost made the leather flowy; it moved in a way that leather usually doesn’t. Everything was black and white, with the occasional nude tone thrown in. White pieces were crisp and looked clinical, like lab coats. Tanks that were designed like one giant, twisted cable knit were striking, especially look 14 as worn by Jourdan Dunn. For the finale, a group of platinum-coiffed models all in white stood still in the middle of the room. The lights went down and then their outfits–swear to god–glowed in the dark.

Karen Elson is Told by Daniel Tosh Fan She ‘Needs to be Raped’ After Criticizing the Comedian
In case you missed it, earlier this week comedian Daniel Tosh told an audience member that it would be funny if she got raped “by like, five guys” after she interrupted the comedian’s set to tell him that the rape jokes he was already making weren’t actually funny. But, as comedians seem to forget, what happens in the comedy club doesn’t always stay in the comedy club, and the woman’s blog post about the incident quickly went viral, with websites like Jezebel picking up the story. While some comedians have stepped up to Tosh’s defense, the incident mostly drew the ire of the public at large. Even fashion people like Karen Elson took note. The model voiced her reaction on Twitter saying, “Daniel Tosh didn’t get the memo that it [rape] never was and never will be funny.”
Apparently, Tosh has some rabid fans, because within hours Elson received a number of pretty nasty responses. An example? “@KarenElson_ Needs to be raped, she might lighten up after getting some for once.”
