1. Does Layana not realize that pitting the boys against the girls would automatically put her on the same team as Patricia?
2. Do the designers never get a single day off between challenges to go explore NYC museums and the like?
3. Why did Tim Gunn have two big white spots on his forehead while explaining the challenge? Anyone?
4. Why do the designers seem so much more bitter and overall dishonest this season?
Is there a better chronicler of fashion history and all-around-beloved fashion personality than Cameron Silver? As the new star of Bravo’s Dukes of Melrose, Silver, the man most credited with making it cool to wear old clothes and co-owner of Los Angeles vintage emporium Decades, now has the adulation of a nationwide and global audience.
At a Vidal Sassoon Pro Series event last week, Silver exhibited his usual charm as we talked about vintage history, how more informed consumers have affected his business, and which modern designers he sees as having vintage appeal.
It may not literally be the world’s most expensive t-shirt (since it is not diamond-encrusted), but it’s definitely up there.
The artist luxury conglomerate formerly known as PPR is making moves.
The just-christened Kering has acquired a majority stake in one of the world’s largest tanneries, WWD is reporting.
I test out a lot of fragrances, but only a few find their way into my refrigerator. (Sidebar: One time one of the perfumers from Le Labo, who happens to be very cute and charismatic, told me I should store all my perfumes in the fridge and I’ve done it ever since. It’s next to the yogurt.)
Jour d’Hermès has a place of honor there now.
From Alexander McQueen edited offerings to Alexander Wang’s debut for Balenciaga, over the past nine days, there’s been a lot of really exciting fashion moments in Paris.

Paris Fashion Week is finally over, but some moments will stick with us. Click through to see who we think created the looks you’ll be wanting come September.
After 28 days of non-stop fashion action from New York to Paris, a lot of editors were probably thinking they were ready for a nap when Marc Jacobs took his bow in pajamas at the Louis Vuitton show. They didn’t find the deshabille looks Jacobs showed sleepy, however, and were also pretty jazzed about the dotty outfits at Miu Miu.
Well, we can’t say we weren’t hoping Cathy Horyn would sound off on Hedi Slimane’s latest grunge-inspired offering for Saint Laurent, given their history.
Forbes released its annual billionaires list so we can all keep ourselves informed of the 1,426 people in the world whose wealth we’ll likely never be able to even fathom. Though, this year’s list does include quite a few fashion names, so maybe when we get around to creating that luxury empire…
We have a confession to make: We are on tonight’s episode of The Job, a new CBS reality show hosted by Lisa Ling (my journalism crush). It’s our reality TV debut!
The premise of the show is this: five candidates compete for the same job and jump through a bunch of hoops to try to get hired. The sought-after job on tonight’s episode is an editorial assistant position at Joanna Coles’s Cosmo. We are one of three “guest companies” (along with Who What Wear and Archetype Me) that can try to poach one of the candidates. You’re going to just have to watch to see how it all pans out.
But we wanted to introduce you to one of the candidates, 25-year-old Carlos Bell. His story is so inspiring, his fashion hustle so great, we just had to share. Read on to find out how he landed his first internship at GQ (and commuted 10 hours a day to get there) and what he’s up to next.
