Fashion News Roundup: Kim Kardashian Gets Flour Bombed, Dov Charney is Cleared of Sex Abuse Charges, and American Idol Has a Clothing Line

Kim Kardashian Gets a Little Messy: This is definitely not the kind of flower flour girls like receiving. After spending probably three hours in hair and makeup, poor Kimmy K was flour-bombed (think pie-d before the ingredients are mixed) by some disgruntled onlooker at her fragrance release event. Turns out that suspected culprit PETA was in fact not responsible for this half-baked (hehe) sabotage– but a rep made sure to tell TMZ that they were pretty pleased just the same. {Styleite, TMZ}

Dov Charney is An ‘Innocent’ Man: Could 2012 be the year of Dov Charney’s comeback? After being on the constant brink of bankruptcy, American Apparel’s founder and CEO can say adieu to another legal hurdle. A Brooklyn judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought on by a former employee last year claiming that Charney had used her as a “sex slave.” {HuffPo}

American Idol Becoming Fashion Forward: Following the announcement that Tommy Hilfiger will be the reality show’s new “style advisor,” it’s been revealed that American Idol will be releasing its new ‘Authentic Icon’ clothing line at Kohl’s in April – also home to AI judge Jennifer Lopez’s own clothing range. It seems even Idol alum (and Smash star) Katherine McPhee is getting in on the fash game: She was reportedly seen sprinting to the Conde Nast building to “meet Miss Anna Wintour” on Wednesday– though we’re betting there was nary a mention of ‘Kohl’s’ in that meeting. {NY Mag, NY Post}

Holland’s Next Top Model Winner Wins Lawsuit Against ELITE Models: Well, here’s some good news: Ananda Marchildon, who was dropped from ELITE Model Management for being “too hippy,” just won a lawsuit against the agency. ELITE dropped Marchildon after she failed to get her hip width down two centimeters to the preferred 90cm. They withheld a chunk of her Top Model winnings, awarding her only $13,000 out of the $98,500 she was promised. An Amsterdam court ruled that since Marchildon was signed to the agency with her enormous 92cm hips, “Elite could therefore not demand she reach a hip size of 90 centimeters.” ELITE has been ordered to pay her the $85,000 she is due. Justice is served! {OMG! Yahoo!}
