Fashion News Roundup: Anna Dello Russo Wears a Kanye West Dress, the Queen Would Be Annoyed if Kate Middleton Covers Vogue and the Lady Gaga Effect

by

Anna Dello Russo Wore Kanye West Three Days After His Show: Possibly his sole endorsement, but a pretty large one at that. So far, though, an ADR plug isn’t quite enough to keep the critics at bay. {MTV Style}

The Queen Nixes a K.Mid Vogue Cover: A palace source said the Queen “would not be amused… Her Majesty is a real genius at making people squirm with simply a look or a ‘tut, tut.’” Style icon isn’t really part of Kate’s Princess duties, apparently. {HuffPo}

Katy Perry Launching a Second Fragrance: The “sequel” to Purr comes out in November as a Nordstrom exclusive. The name remains a secret, but Perry is tweeting clues; lucky guessers will win prizes! Participate if you care. {WWD}

Dior Successor To Come “In The Next Few Weeks:” The Telegraph’s Lisa Armstrong previewed Dior’s spring collection at the atelier and spoke with president Sidney Toledano about the fate of Dior. He kept silent, but did say we’d all know what’s up soon. {Telegraph}

Diversity On The Catwalk: Though the runways are still more vanilla than they should be, this season was a bit more diverse than usual. See how Jezebel broke it down by numbers. {Jezebel}

Do Bloggers Need Agents? According to the New York Times, they might want to sign on with an agency or lawyer to make some money and avoid exploitation. It works for the big names, but is it a good idea for everyone? {NY Times}

Anna Dello Russo’s Armani Fashion Film, Starring Karolina Kurkova: ADR styled and starred in Armani’s new advertisement-cum-fashion film, Back Gamon, where Kurkova plays a glamourous, mysterious lady of wealth who slips Bond-girl style between a poker game and a lover. ADR’s styling is bomb, as always. {Anna Dello Russo}

Michelle Williams Does Monroe: Michelle Williams looks pretty gorgeous on the October cover of Vogue as Marilyn Monroe. But we still think we like this Monroe-impersonator better. {HuffPo}

More Rihanna for Armani in their Fall 2011 Campaign: In this latest batch, her bra is falling off. Nice. {InStyle}

Suri Cruise Likes a Classic Red Lip: She’s been wearing high heels since she was three, so it seems perfectly reasonable that she’s hitting the lipstick at age five. {Styleite}

Ranking the Fall Ads, Part 3

Ranking the Fall Ads, Part 3

by

Ads can be a million times better than the best editorial, or a trillion times worse. The way I see it, ads are the place for a brand to tell its version of a story for fall. It’s like viewing a collection in its natural habitat…so it better be good. (Like this Givenchy ad at left.)

This bunch of fall ads includes Tom Ford, Alexander Wang, Armani, and Proenza Schouler among others, so click through to see who we think succeeded and who didn’t fare so well.

As for those Ceryth Wyn Evans Marc Jacobs men’s ads… A++. If you wanna send a framed one to our office, that would be totally fine. Our Céline manifesto was looking a little lonely, anyway.

In Honor of David Beckham’s Foray Into Fashion Here are the 13 Hottest Dudes Designing Today

by

David Beckham might not be a real designer in the way that his wife has turned out to be–but you’ll still be able to buy his clothes at H&M come fall, when his bodywear line (read: undies) launches.

So in honor of Becks and his flawless bod (not to mention chiseled jaw line) joining the fashion fray, we decided to round up all the hotties designing right now. There are really some good looking men out there making clothes for ladies. We couldn’t list them all, but here’s a start. Take a look:
