There's definitely a double-edged sword slashing the fashion/retail world right now, and it's mostly psychological. Buyers are facing many challenges for Spring 2009. Here's a little more insight: http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/2008/09/11/style-trends-fashion-forbeslife-cx_0912trends.html

Isn't Addict called Owl Lab now or something?

I didn't watch this because Anne Slowey is one of my industry idols and didn't want to feel embarrassed for her. But now feel like I have to tune in. Is it good? Is it ridiculously fake? I feel like no one is addressing this head on...

Sofia Coppola, but when I was younger, it was totally Gwyneth.

Sales are a good thing--but not sales like this. It means amazing companies like Mayle are closing and will continue closing. In the end, hopefully we'll all be better off, as the market "adjusts" itself (meaning stuff won't be as initially expensive and crappy brands will go away). But we're going to lose some valuable products and retailers in the meantime.

And I was also at Saks on Sunday. So depressing.

Natalie, I understand your obsession with Goop! Here's my confession:

I agree that women's jeans need to be sized like men's. Topshop does this, thankfully. I'm 5'8" and my ideal inseam is a 31, which is really short for fairly tall girl. Their 32" is about the best I've seen.

Okay, I didn't watch this, but I've interviewed Diane as I'm sure you have, and I kind of think she'd be down with chatting about Whitney's bf even if she was an actual employee. She has a very maternal way.

Also, I don't think its a big seller anyways, that would be why Estee sold it. If Stila was making money back in 2006--during the boom--there is no way Estee would have let go of it.

Omg you are so young! Jellies are so circa 1985. The '95 rendition was just a blip on my teenage screen.
