Looks like American Apparel may be designing the uniforms for some proud red, white, and blue-wearing Olympians…who aren’t American. In a conversation about clothing manufacturing and national pride that has come to a head today because of the Ralph Lauren “Made in China” US Olympic uniform controversy, Dov Charney has now thrown his voice into the melee.

Russia and AA have reportedly been talking since 2011 about the US-based retailer manufacturing Russia’s 2014 winter Olympics uniforms. And why is this happening, you ask? Charney told the paper, “[Russian Olympic team representatives] said they didn’t want anything that was made in China.” Charney told the Post that the line for Russia would include both uniforms and merchandise.

We never imagined selecting a CFDA winner would be easy–but a war room? Apparently so.
When New York asked Diane von Furstenberg what the CFDA‘s selection process was like for the special awards and if there was a ‘war room,’ the CFDA prez responded: “Yes, it’s the board of directors, and we debate. It is a little bit like a war room.”
And as for who really calls the shots during those deliberations?

As everyone knows, the Kentucky Derby is the oldest, most prestigious gathering of preposterously big, totally unnecessary hats in North America.
And while we hear there’ll also be some nice horses running around a track, the part we’re obviously most looking forward to is scoping out what new and crazy heights Derby-attendees will go to with their chapeaux. Luckily for them, the Fall 2012 runways offered no shortage of showstopping toppers from Marc Jacobs’ unforgettable Jamiroquai-inspired hats, to Anna Sui’s goofy knit caps.
