Need a leg up in the fashion industry? You might want to start learning Mandarin.
In December Chinese shoppers officially surpassed American shoppers as the number one consumers of luxury goods. Now, luxury companies are doing everything in their power to adapt to this growing market–and one of the ways they’re doing it is by encouraging, or in some cases, requiring, that their retail associates learn Mandarin.
The Golden Globes is the first major event of award season and it usually gives us a taste of what sort of trends we can expect on the red carpet this year.

Karl Lagerfeld’s Metiers D’Arts shows for Chanel have become known for their extravagant settings in exotic locations–Scotland, Versailles, Venice, Moscow, Paris of course.
And next? Dallas. As in Dallas, Texas.
At the time of the shoot, Karl Lagerfeld told WWD that “[Ondria] doesn’t look 15. She looks 18 or 19.” Well, he certainly styled her that way. Clad in a see-through dress and rocking a suggestive pout, the young teen definitely looks older than her years.
Despite our best justifications to the contrary, we know that no one really needs a Chanel 2.55 bag. In fact not even Karl Lagerfeld himself is fooled into thinking his luxe designs are necessities.

We thought the holiday season was the perfect time to spread a little love throughout the fashion industry–but since we don’t see Hedi Slimane sending Cathy Horyn a Christmas card anytime soon, we decided to use our imaginations.
Yesterday, we found out that Stella McCartney topped the UK’s Google Zeitgeist list in the fashion category. Today brings us the results from our side of the pond.
Other designers may have to worry about little things like, oh say, budgets or commercial success or logistics–but Karl Lagerfeld is certainly not one of them.
The tented setting at last night’s Chanel Art Basel party gave the whole evening a wedding vibe (albeit a very fashionable one)–as did the evening’s soundtrack, which tended towards songs like “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Satisfaction,” and “Shout,” and packed the dance floor. Adriana Lima was there, looking as gorgeous as if she’d just stepped off the Victoria’s Secret runway. So was Naomi Campbell, and Martha Stewart, and Demi Moore–who looked like she was having a really good time getting cozy with Lenny Kravitz and grooving in her seat in the VIP section. At some point she even found a cat to cuddle, which would obviously enhance anyone’s night.
