Fashion News Roundup: Christian Louboutin Designs for Topless Dancers, Kim Kardashian Replaced by a Dog and Blue Ivy Carter Has a Swarovski Crystal Highchair

Louboutin Making Shoes for Paris Cabaret: Is this what Christian Louboutin was referring to when he said his shoes bring on an “orgasmic situation?” The French footwear designer is set to release a collaboration with Parisian cabaret Crazy Horse, which is well-known for its topless dancers. Wonder if he’ll be making matching nipple tassels… {WWD}

Skechers Replaces Kim Kardashian with a Dog: We would never have guessed that Kardashian overxposure had reached the beer commercial-loving Superbowl crowd. Skechers has announced that the star of its newest sneaker commercials will be none other than… a cute and cuddly French bulldog. Sorry Kim, looks like this bitch has got the last laugh. Or woof. {People}

Annabel Tollman Personifies Underwear in Calvin Klein Webisodes: Calvin Klein Underwear has teamed up with the stylist on a series of webisodes for its new “Naked Glamour” campaign. The three roughly-minute and a half long spots feature Tollman dressing models for a shoot, describing each bra style as the foundation of a character’s look: Confident, Sexy, and Strong. Tollman says she “wanted to encapsulate that moment of self-creation that we all go through [when getting dressed]” – seems like a lot of pressure for a bra! {WWD}

Fashion News Roundup: Tavi Gevinson Is in a Wilco Video, More Jason Wu for Target Revealed, and Lady Gaga Gives Up Her V Column (Sort Of)

Tavi’s in a Wilco Video: While at first glance this makes no sense, here’s how it happened: Wilco’s lead singer Jeff Tweedy has a 15-year-old son, Spencer. Spencer directed the video. Spencer is pals with Tavi and has written for Rookie. Hence, Tavi gets to be in a Wilco video. {Hollywood Reporter}

Expect a Lot of Polka Dots on Louis Vuitton Accessories This Summer: Marc Jacobs has collaborated with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama on a wide range of accessories, RTW, shoes, watches, and jewelry. She’s best known for putting polka dots on pretty much everything. While Louis Vuitton reportedly won’t show the pieces at the fall shows in Paris this March, they’re supposed to hit stores in July. {WWD, subscription required}

Why Liv Tyler Has Been Looking Amazing Lately: She’s Been Working With Annabel Tollman

by

We’ve loved Liv Tyler since the “Crazy” video and Empire Records, but, save for her amazing ’90s style in both, we’ve always found her sartorial choices a little…safe. However, she has been seriously stepping it up lately. From the amazing Proenza fall 2011 dress she wore to the CFDAs to the sleek Stella McCartney number she just showed up to a premiere in, the actress has been making some pretty exceptional outfit choices. No wonder–we hear she’s been having a little help from stylist Annabel Tollman, who has worked with Jessica Simpson and Scarlett Johansson and other celebs.

In the past, Liv has claimed that she doesn’t typically use a stylist. She has worked a bit with Rachel Zoe–she even made a guest appearance on an episode of The Rachel Zoe Project, where she had Zoe help her shop for every day clothes. Ironically, Tollman is set to star in her own Bravo reality show this fall.

All we know is Liv doesn’t seem to have made one red carpet mistake over the past few months, plus, is it just us or has she been looking unusually svelte? Here’s a look at Liv’s best recent looks.

Hollywood’s Most Powerful Stylists: The Complete List

by

We’ve become huge fans of the Hollywood Reporter over the last few months, mostly due to Janice Min’s excellent makeover of the trade publication. Staffer Merle Ginsberg navigates the LA fashion scene with an entertaining mix of gossip, insider news, and general knowledge that is not only rare for the West Coast, but rare for fashion writing in general.

So we were thrilled to see Ginsberg’s list of the 25 most powerful stylists in Hollywood covering this week’s issue. Rachel Zoe obviously ranks number one, with names like Nicole Chavez, Annabel Tollman, Brad Goreski, Leslie Fremar, and Kate Young rounding it out. See the full list below, and read the Zoe cover story here.

Fashion News Roundup: Hollister Gets Grosser, More LiLo News We’re Not Surprised By, and Tanning Gets Taxed

Bedbugs take over Hollister: SoHo’s biggest annoyance has become a breeding ground for one of NYC’s biggest annoyances: bedbugs. The infestation has shut down the store indefinitely and will likely cause even bigger problems for the company, from returns to lawsuits to no one wanting to go within 1,000 feet of that store because bedbugs are so gross. Although the store is closed, they’ve apparently stationed three shirtless models as a sign of tenacity or something. {Racked}

Happy Coco Rocha Month!: Each month at Vogue UK, a fashionista is invited to give readers a daily peak inside her wardrobe. Past months have included Alexa Chung and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Today is Coco’s first day. Check out her Topshop shorts and Aldo shoes. {Vogue UK}

Lohan’s Latest Law Battle: Lindsay Lohan apparently picked up $17,060.83 worth of clothing from L.A. boutique Church and didn’t pay for them, claiming her “business manager” would foot the bill. Lindsay is definitely at fault here, but we think Church should take a little responsibility for, i don’t know, letting a crazy celebrity walk out of their store without paying for 17 grand worth of merchandise. {TMZ}
