She’s Back Y’all: Gemma Ward’s not going anywhere, thank god. She’s just taking a mini-break from modeling. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if she got back into it without losing those twenty pounds? {Fashionologie}

Blurry Blogging: An even deeper look into the world of fashion blogging. Do you embrace the industry? Stay away from it? Can you be a part of it and still be a real-life blogger? {Blackbook}

One More Time: The age-old, never-ending debate about whether or not girls can be both into fashion and smart, or more importantly, taken seriously. {Telegraph}

Getting Technical: Nicholas Kirkwood and some other major players in the shoe industry teach us all about how they make heels more comfortable from materials to techniques. We love a mini-tutorial. {NY Times}

Be the Last Intern: Magnus Berger and Tenzin Wild’s The Last Magazine needs design and production interns. You need experience and three to five days free to work. {Starworks}

Break It Down: Peter Brant spends $500,000 a month on his polo ponies. He doesn’t understand why his soon to be ex, Stephanie Seymour, spends $50,000 a month on clothes when she could just fly to Paris and take them from Alaia’s studio. And that’s just the tip of their divorce iceberg. {Jezebel}

Sex on Fire Sells: The Kings of Leon have partnered with Surface to Air to make clothes. The Tennessee kids whipped up some flannel, denim and a leather jacket of course that’ll only be available at Copenhagen’s Paris Texas. {Blackbook}

Birthdays & More: Gemma Ward shares her big day with Anna Wintour, though almost forty years later. She was out and about in New York looking almost unrecognizable. {BryanBoy}

Add A Slash: As in model/actress. Next up is Agyness who’s shooting a short film with the guy who plays the ADA on Law & Order. Also we now have “Celebrity Skin” running through our heads, which is not a bad thing at all. {Page Six}

Is Adidas the New Target: They’ve had Jeremy Scott and Stella McCartney, but now they’re onto British brand PPQ. Here’s your first look at their stripe-y, Catwoman-y collection. {Nylon}

Rita Hayworth Gave Good Face: Lindsay Lohan does not. God love (or hate) the Daily Mail for pointing out what we also witnessed last night, some seriously weird expressions that did nothing but age the girl in a major way. {Daily Mail}

Fancy yourself an ad-man?

If so, or if you’ve just watched one too many episodes of Mad Men, you can have a hand at creating an ad for Armani Exchange sunglasses.

They’re hosting a contest in which you make the best ad and they send you to Miami for a few days this winter (they also feature your ad on their website, but in the dead of winter the former prize might be a bit better). The first 500 people to submit an ad also win a pair of Armani Exchange sunglasses, but we have a sneaking suspicion you’ll need those beforehand, to make the ad; though they do clarify that the glasses in the ad don’t have to be Armani.

Georgia Peach: Just in case you don’t have as massive a crush on Georgia May Jagger as we do, which is kind of inconceivable, here’s a mini-portfolio from Vanity Fair. We like to say we knew her when. {VanityFair}

Herm-Asprey?: Maybe Hermès thought no one would notice if they bought Asprey’s massive New Bond Street store since the whole fashion world’s on a plane to Paris. But they did, and now word is they’re not just buying the store, but maybe the whole company. Interesting…{VogueUK}

Kane Control: From the second I left Heathrow, I was bombarded with Christopher Kane for Topshop. For every fifteen pieces, an original ape popped up, but for the most part with was crocodiles (alligators?) everywhere you looked, as captured here. {Streetpeeper}

Future’s Too Bright: Alexander Wang’s teamed up with Linda Farrow for super awesome SS10 sunglasses. Nylon snapped a picture at MAGIC in Vegas. {Nylon}

Hilfiger’s New Man: Word is Peter Som might be hired on as a consultant at Tommy Hilfiger. He wouldn’t be our first guess, but he makes a helluva a lot more sense than Miguel Adrover who was apparently on the short list. {WWD}

Inspiring Movements: Jezebel explains why we need Lady Gaga. We seriously can’t wait to see this art-installion like VMA performance with fashion that is a “representation of the most stoic and memorable martyrs of fame in history.” Bring it, G. {Jezebel}

Yo Fashionista,

I’m sure you guys have already heard and formed opinions about Perez Hilton’s new fashion blog, CocoPerez.com.

I’m offended that he even thinks he can legitimately comment on fashion - especially when he spells Gaultier Gautier and thinks someone in London makes clothes under the name Garth Pugh. I’m just wondering if you guys plan to comment on it or not? I understand that commenting on it would only reinforce his perceived legitimacy, but I simply cannot stand that he’s doing this. I mean the stories so far are ripped straight from your headlines! He’s clearly stealing content from Jezebel and WWD, too without crediting anyone and more importantly without bringing anything new to the discussion. It sucks. Especially after fashion bloggers have been working hard for so long to be taken seriously.

Just wondering what your take will be….

A Loyal Fan

Riccardo Redux: Come October you’ll be able to buy pieces from Tisci’s new Redux capsule collection. And yes, there will be many white blouses. {Vogue UK}

Non, Non: Seems yesterday’s Keith Kelly musings about Hearst taking over a piece of Elle are just that. {Observer}

Matte-ify It: We’re partial to the matte shades from KO. The beauty department at Nylon tries on some other options too. {NYLON TV}

Baby Brady: Yesterday London Fog announced that they airbrushed Gisele’s pregnant belly to “respect her privacy” which, you know, didn’t. Now People’s got the shot that can put all the speculation to rest. via {The Cut}

And the writer is…Jenna Sauers.

The New Zealander has penned her final essay as Tatiana here, but she’s going to continue to contribute to the site, just under her own name.

The commenters are going a little bananas over there, throwing around words like The New Yorker and Joan Didion regarding her writing style, which might be a wee bit of a stretch. Though I will continue to check in on what she has to say in the future.

So were any of you right? Did you know it was Jenna?

An Awesome Spectacle: We must have these glasses, like immediately if not sooner. {Garance}

More Coco to Love: A new American trailer for Coco Before Chanel makes us very excited for the September release. It also makes us think about how much we loved Audrey Tatou in Hors de Prix, the last thing we saw her in. {Elle}

We’re #3! Forbes rounds up the most stylish cities in the world. Though we’re guessing Cathy Horyn no longer agrees about their choice for the top spot. {Forbes}

We Cannot Tell a Lie: If we were pregnant, we would totally want to dress like Nicole Richie. {People Stylewatch}

Cover Boy: GQ and Bruno…together at last. We would have killed to be on that set. {NY Post}

Who’s the Fairest of them All? Vanity Fair’s trying to figure out who the best looking man is. We hear our favorite polo player, Nacho, is pulling away from our favorite vampire, R Patz. May the best man win. {Vanity Fair}

Who Wears Short Shorts? Well, maybe they weren’t all that short but Alex Wang rocked some at the CFDAs. In a shocking twist, Marc wore pants. {StyleFile}

TMI: We now know more about the self-proclaimed world’s first supermodel than we ever cared to. {Jezebel}

Cape Marriage: Despite internet rumors to the contrary, MJ says he and Lorenzo are still doing the “I dos” in Provincetown. {FWD}

“Gaga called me and said she wanted to be in a wheel chair. She wanted me to design it and not the prop department. I took it upon myself to drive to East L.A. and exchange the wheels for some low rider ones. I ordered some Gucci fabric and handed it over to my genius friend/designer Michael Schmidt so he could embellish it with Swarovski crystals. Originally, we made a metal logo that read “Gaga” on the wheels, but she disliked the font and we ended up exchanging it for the Chanel logo.” Lady Gaga’s stylist B. Akerlund on the wheel chair in the creepily awesome “Paparazzi” video, Anthem via Jezebel

Divorce, Supermodel Style: Peter Brant’s security folks allegedly got a little hands-y with Stephanie Seymour this weekend. It’s all very War of the Roses. But are the only ones secretly hoping this leads to a reunion with Axl? {E!}

Even More Drama: Peter Brant is not having a good week. Things aren’t going so well with Glenn O’Brien over at Interview either. {WWD}

My Girl Wants to Party All the Time: Steven Meisel gets up in the club, ’80s style for Vogue Italia. {Models}

Star Trek: A sit down with jewelry designer and Central Saint Martins alum Tomasz Donocik and a peek at his super awesome jewelry which might be made for men - but we still want it. {Starworks}

Yo, Home to Bel Air: He was West Philadelphia born and raised, hence that street style the Fresh Prince brought to SoCal. We’re liking the revival. Wonder what Uncle Phil thinks? {Refinery29}

Are You Kidding?: This kind of cuteness must be shared with the world, even if you don’t consider yourself child-friendly. {Garance}

Tatiana on Margiela: The faceless model tries to unravel the latest mystery behind the faceless designer. {Jezebel}

All For One: Happy Memorial Day. We’re embracing the one piece this weekend. Perhaps you should too. Oh, and it’s a half day here at Fashionista, so we’ll be outta here earlier than usual. Have a good one. {StyleFile}

Girls On Film: The Mulleavys muse about movies. Just when we thought it wasn’t possible to love them any more, they go and namecheck Pinhead. {LA Times}

Treat Yourself: Just click. You won’t be disappointed. Unless you’re the kind of person who doesn’t enjoy a deliciously tan Chuck Bass. And if that’s the case, there’s nothing more we can do for you. {Jezebel}

Great Scots: Who will reign supreme in the Scottish design world? Our vote goes to Jonathan Saunders. {VogueUK}

“Perhaps someday a museum will be equal to mounting an intelligent investigation of the changing roles of fashion models, and fashion photography’s relationship to the wider culture — its uneasily shifting placement on the continuum between high art and low commerce, between editorial content in magazines and clothes and makeup as we do them in everyday life. Perhaps someday, we’ll see the model as muse. But that museum is not the Met, and that exhibition is not yet come.” —Tatiana, Jezebel’s anonymous model, on the Model as Muse exhibit.

Inside Scoop: Your only look inside last night’s ball. #36 is an incredibly uncomfortable picture of Anna and Blake Lively. {Vogue}

Met Times: Eric Wilson on the ball, Kate Moss’ wad of gum and Helena Christensen’s silly dress. {NYTimes}

Come On Boys: Jack Bauer Kiefer Sutherland headbutted Jack McCollough at SubMercer last night and that half of Proenza’s still in the hospital. Reports say it’s over a girl but it’s pretty obvious that can’t be right. {Guest}

Thanks to the ladies at Jezebel, Michelle Obama’s Vogue cover is out, after months of anticipation.

The First Lady clearly sticks with what she likes, donning Wu on the cover (which makes us wonder what the standing section at his show will look like) and striking a pose like a normal person (we love it).

There’s something slightly subdued about it, especially being the big Spring fashion March edition, but that probably has more to do with the beige room behind her and the fact that nobody wants to risk putting the President’s wife in something the American public might deem frivolous.

So will this cover be the saving grace for Vogue’s sliding newsstand sales?

Discuss!

Update: Vogue’s just posted most of the interview and two images from the shoot.
