Girlies, you have me a little obsessed. Does Tiffany count as fashion??? ;) That's the only color mentioned above that I can find which has been patented. Schiaparelli pre-dates all color patenting. Louboutin has tried and failed and so has Hermes with their orange. Prada green also came to mind, but I see no evidence that's been patented. Yves patented his blue, but I don't think that qualifies as fashion.

So, it's OK to shop at Urban for houseware-type crap, but not clothing crap??

Alison, I've always been a January hold-out. I hope your right and this year's booty will by more fabulous than years past!

Georgina Chapman; and you might even count Mary-Kate Olsen if you think she actually designs anything.

Patrick Robinson is great and all, but I was convinced Star Jones would be the guest judge. Let's just say he's no Star Jones.

They were judges on the first season of Project Catwalk. PS: does anyone know how I can get my hands on DVDs of that?! PPS: I've been loving the episodes of Project Runway Canada (even though I'm reduced to watching them on YouTube). I have such a crush on Lucian!

Laetly, I've been taking as few shopping bags as possible; instead I opt to shove what I can in my everyday duffle or tote with one exception: the small Barney's bags. I love these because they're perfect for carrying a bottle or two of wine either to a party or to a BYOB restaurant. They're perfect because of the longer straps.

Back when I was in high school, I remember all the gals would get their prom shoes dyed at Bakers!

Jillian, Rami & Christian... although one no-talent schmuck has to make it. . . . .So my wild card is Ricky because he obviously sucks the most.

"Stella McCartney also made a bunny backpack for LeSportsac."
Stella also appropriated the Koons bunny on some jewelry a few seasons back.

Frank *loves* Paul Smith precisely for that "English dandy meets rock n' roll meets East Village hipster" look. I just scored me a pair of black/white patent wing-tip sneakers (to add to my collection of other wing tip sneakers from PS). No sooner did I buy them, I noticed NM.com upped the price on their website $50! Schweet!

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall having the impression that when Barney's first started carrying the Botkier bags. . . didn't it appear to be a more affordable (knock-off?? gasp!) Balenciaga bag?

Steamer. . every day. Sometimes twice a day. I never burn myself. It's much much faster than ironing and you do much less damage to the garment.

I'm surprised it's taken Karl this long to appropriate Chrome Hearts in a collection for Chanel.
