John Galliano Is Back, Kate Middleton’s Baby Bump Was Everywhere, and Nasty Gal Has Some Competition

John Galliano Returns: John Galliano (who’s sporting a new grunge look) got a new gig at Parsons, teaching a master class on the “challenges and complications of leading a design house.” But not everyone is happy about it.

Let the Kate Middleton Baby Bump Watch Commence! Whether it’s a $1,750 silk Erdem number or a $76 Topshop polka dot dress, we’re keeping our eyes on how the Duchess is dressing her royal baby bump. (Could she be hinting at something with the color of this frock?)

In The Aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombings: Nike scrambles to pull old “Boston Massacre” t-shirts from stores. Now, however, that same shirt is going for $150,000 on eBay.

Spring Into a New Jacket: Put away those down puffer coats ’til October, it’s finally spring! And we’ve found the perfect spring jacket to fit your wardrobe.

Baby Animal Backlash: Carine Roitfeld styled Kate Upton with some adorbs baby animals for a Harper’s Bazaar spread–but readers weren’t too keen on the images. Should Roitfeld stick to chicks from now on?
