“I’m pretty amazed by Hello Kitty. I see so many women in their 30s walking around in Hello Kitty sh-t and nobody is concerned for them. It’s the one iconic teenage symbol that seems okay for women in their 30s? The world seems to not have an issue with it.”

“To be honest, I don’t know why they pulled [that image] off. I thought it was a beautiful photo. We did a lot of photos that day, and working with Steven [Meisel], working with Pat [McGrath], working with Oribe and Carlyne [Cerf de Dudzeele] — we were creating art. I think they’re beautiful photos and I’m very proud of all of them. I’m happy with the results. I think that they’re photos that are hopefully going to become iconic. I had so much fun with the shoot, I was so happy to do it.”

Pope Benedict XVI goes to Africa and speaks about the value of women, the need for their emancipation, and the importance of achieving equality between men and women. Holy Father, wouldn’t it be more important that the Church started taking action instead of theorizing? There are many missions and laymen running foundations that help women restore their dignity within a society that keeps neglecting them. They lack the funds to build houses and create job opportunities. If, as you have rightly said, on November 13, charity is compulsory, could the Church donate some of its many treasures to help improving so many wretched lives? Moreover, I agree with you, Holy Father, that AIDS sufferers have the right to be respected and receive cures especially in Africa, where the disease is most widely spread. So why not taking into consideration again measures of prevention and protection?
–Franca Sozzani took to Vogue Italia’s website to vent her frustration about the Pope, Italy’s government and, a little strangely, sexting. Read more »
“Franca Sozzani once said something about John Galliano that I thought was perfect. She said that ‘Dior’s solution and salvation would be to bring back that man,’–and I agree.

It’s a shame she doesn’t wear more designers. I don’t really like the high street getting so much of the credit. I understand that there would be an array because you need to relate to so many people in the market, but she is a princess. If I were a princess, I’d be like, ‘Oh yeah, bring it on.’
–Brit designer Christopher Kane on the Duchess of Cambridge, who he would like to dress one day. Read more »
“Honestly, without hesitation, it is the greatest honor, I mean, way above and beyond the lifetime achievement award, beyond anything. It’s like, to be immortalized on South Park, I can die a happy man.” Jacobs plans to commemorate this milestone. That’ll be my next tattoo, the Muscle Man Marc from South Park.”
– Marc Jacobs to New York Magazine at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, about his portrayal on South Park.
