Kate Reigns: Just in case you thought Kate Moss would ever be less sartorially influential, think again. Here’s a rundown of all the resort shows inspired by the super. If anyone can convince us to wear gold lamé, well, it’s obviously Kate. {StyleFile}
Oh Goody: Vanessa Bruno’s making a short film staring Lou Doillon. Stephanie Di Giusto will direct and there will be a screening in July before it’s available online. {Fashionologie}
Beam Me Up Scotty: Band Of Outsider’s Scott Sternberg answers W’s questions on the CFDAs and NY vs LA. He says that if Paris Hilton tried to wear his clothes he’d tell her, “That the moon is on fire and she better get outside and help put it out right this instant.” As if we could love him more. {W}
Same Old, Same Old: We are creatures of habit, but we’re still not sure we could wear one dress, and one dress only, for a whole year. Having the same thing for lunch each afternoon, not a problem. {Guardian UK}

We almost had a heart attack when the first Fashion Week invite arrived in our mailbox last week.
It can’t be that time, can it?
It is, in fact, almost September, and while we’ve gotten our fair share of heavy cardstock invites, leave it to Band of Outsiders to make us giggle with their white cotton glove.
They get the award for best invite so far, just like last time.
Balmain’s last runway was inspired by Michael Jackson’s glittery socks - is Scott Sternberg taking direction from his infamous glove?
As long as there’s glitter, we don’t care.
Band of Outsiders’ Scott Sternberg just finished shooting his Fall ad campaign.
He might be a little behind everyone else but his ads feature Michelle Williams, so who cares.
WWD reports the two spent last Thursday holed up in interior designer Paul Fortune’s house with just seven outfit changes, no hair, no make-up and a stylist on hand only in case of emergency. The designer’s laid back attitude will continue into Fall - he’ll show his Spring 09 collection in film form instead of a more traditional presentation (which is weird, because he’s totally on the schedule for September 6th at 6pm).
Sternberg says “I’m doing a totally alternative thing because I can’t bring myself to do a runway show. I don’t make runway clothes. These are clothes you wear on the street, so I’m just super-uncomfortable with it. It puts it in totally the wrong context — I want to do something closer to where the clothes are, and let people actually touch and feel them as opposed to seeing them on a 14-year-old anorexic model.”
That might be the most sound statement we’ve heard from a designer in a very long time.
Here’s hoping he picks Michelle to star.
