Cat’s Meow: We’ve missed you this season, Catherine McNeil, though you look perfectly content posing for Greg Kadel in Vogue Italia. {Models}
No Models? Mon Dieu!: German magazine Brigitte’s banned professional models from its pages. They say they’ve been using Photoshop to fatten up girls for years and they give up. So from now on, it’s “real women” only. {The Guardian}
Style Like Me: We’ve mentioned it before, but stylist Elisa Goodkind’s awesome blog jumps into closets across the city (and its outer boroughs) in search of inspiring wardrobes. Today, ogle over Becka Diamond’s Chanel pumps and Rick Owens jacket. {StyleLikeU}
Don’t Stop Believin’: It’s the song that never dies. Apparently Kate Moss was accosted in the street by a Journey-loving thong-wearing gentleman after Simon Cowell’s 50th birthday party. And this is where our moms would tell us nothing good happens after 2 am. And we would disagree.{Page Six}
We haven’t played a game of foosball quite a while, but we have very fond memories (my strategy was always to keep one hand on the goalie). Combine it with another childhood favorite—Barbie—and we’re sold.
Well, we probably won’t be buying this new treat, Barbie Foot—being displayed and sold this week at Colette thanks to its 10,000 Euro price tag. But we’re still very excited about it. It was designed by Chloé Ruchon, and produced by Bonzini, a high end foosball retailer.
This is another fun way that Colette, along with the rest of the fashion world, has been celebrating Barbie’s fiftieth anniversary, for what seems like forever. And in the last month, we’ve really seen fashion broadening Barbie’s horizons.
We’ve been honoring Barbie’s 50th birthday for so long that she must be fifty-one by now.
Though the celebration’s taken a turn from parties and runways to the editorial. Franca Sozzani’s re-issuing the now legendary July 2008 issue of Vogue Italia celebrating the best of fashion’s black models including Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn, Iman and Sessilee Lopez, but this time she’s including Barbie.
Franca says, “Barbie has been an icon for whole generations which is why I really wanted to give a strong sign in step with the times, and dedicate the anniversary issue to black Barbie.” No word on where exactly you can buy the re-issued issue and its Barbie-centric supplement, though we’ll let you know when we see it.
Not that Barbie’s birthday isn’t important, but does this mean they’re re-releasing that issue every year?
Blonde Ambition: Sessilee lightens up in Vogue Italia. We rather like it. {FashionGoneRogue}
Dirrrty Riot Grrrls: We can’t wait to see what sartorial decisions Christina Aguilera makes based on her new musical collabo with feminist trio Le Tigre. Maybe she’ll bring back some weirdo pants just to spite Lady Gaga. {Popwatch}
The Baron Returns: Fabien’s back in at Interview. We get why they need his creativity, but still haven’t quite decided what the upside is for him. Word has it much more staff shuffling is to come. {FWD}
Model Girfriend: Kanye’s lady (or maybe ex?) Amber Rose just signed with Ford. We’re supposed to see him at a party tonight…stay tuned tomorrow for updated relationship status. {Racked}
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}
Going Swimmingly: Giles Deacon is launching swim. He researched the collection by hanging out poolside at the Chateau Marmont. Somehow he forgot to invite us to come along. {Vogue UK}
Super stylist Lori Goldstein’s in need of an intern, now.
She just wrapped a campaign shoot with Steven Meisel and keeps busy freelancing for Vogue Italia, Vanity Fair, V etc.
You’ll be responsible for managing the office, checking clothes in and and out, assisting on set and anything else that might come up.
They need someone both part-time and full-time, so the choice is yours, but the daily hours are 9:30 to 6:30 and you must, must live in New York. Experience is preferable but if you’re willing to work extra hard to learn, they’re willing to teach.
Email your resume and a spectacularly brief cover letter to Rebecca at Rebecca.Grice@gmail.com.
Good luck!
We’ve avoided Twilight madness (though has anyone else noticed that one of the girls from the movie is in the Terry Richardson-shot ads for Belvedere Vodka?), but we’ve started to notice an influx of actual fangs in fashion.
Models, both male and female, rock pointy front teeth in Karen Walker’s newest lookbook and they’re underneath all the red lipstick in Wildfox’s lookbook. We’ve noticed vampire-themed editorials full of fangs ranging from Vogue Italia to Cosmo, too. And Alison Mosshart wears a particularly violent pair in The Kills’ Black Balloon video.
They managed to miss the runways this season, but are they something you’d actually wear?
You can add supermodel Amber Valetta to the list of models/designers.
Tucked into today’s WWD story on the Loomstate for Target pre-party in Los Angeles last night is this:
“As much as I love fashion and as much as it has supported me, I see how extreme and extravagant it is,” said Valletta, who is collaborating on a women’s clothing collection to be announced this summer.
The token statement in which said supermodel honors her place in fashion while preparing the retail stage for her affordable line which probably pays more than some tribute to the high fashion in her own closet.
Anyway, who might she collaborate with? Her Vogue Italia couture supplement’s part of our office wall paper so we’re having trouble envisioning her in Target or H&M - guesses?

Maybe it’s because not long ago this time of year meant spring break, or maybe it’s that Vogue Italia spread we posted yesterday, either way, we’re dying for a vacation.
With a vacation comes outfits and the hotly debated question, “What does one wear on the plane?”
Every magazine in the world’s told us to wear comfy pants, head-to-toe black, boyfriend jeans etc. all covered up with a blanket posed as a scarf, but when we get to the airport we either see sweats or diamonds, with little in between.
Obviously an outfit’s partly determined by the destination, who’s waiting at the gate and probably the class listed on your ticket, but how do you decide what to wear on the runway? If you’re reading this you probably aren’t of the Juicy demographic and you can’t all be toting your magazines in a Birkin.
So, what are you wearing?
