Fashion News Roundup: Marni and H&M Created a Charity Tee, Brad Goreski Didn’t Get a Thank You Card from Rachel Zoe, and Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Got Engaged

Marni and H&M’s Charity Tee Will Benefit Japan: We’ll have to wait another two months to shop the hotly anticipated H&M/Marni collaboration, but here’s a peek at a charity tee that’ll be included in the collection. Twenty-five percent of the hand-drawn t-shirt’s proceeds will benefit the Red Cross in Japan, which is still struggling to cope with the aftermath of last year’s massively destructive tsunami. The only thing better than giving to charity is giving to charity and getting a cute new tee in the process! {Telegraph}

The Queen to Display Diamonds, Make Us Feel Really Poor: Turns out there’s more than one Liz with diamonds to spare: To celebrate her 60th year on the British throne (and possibly to brag a little), Queen Elizabeth II will put a large collection of diamond jewelry and other precious monarchy jewels on display at Buckingham Palace. “Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration,” will open to the public in August. {WWD}

Brad Goreski Says Rachel Zoe Doesn’t Send Thank You Cards: Our beloved Brad may have his own show now, but he still doesn’t seem to have the Rachel Zoe stamp of approval. Recently he told Wendy Williams that he never received a thank you card for the Hermes baby gift he sent the sent his former employer. Poor B… I’m sure RZ just has been waiting for some stationary from that rumored home collection. {Styleite}

Brad Goreski Named ‘Exclusive Brand Stylist’ for Kate Spade, Probably Cried When He Found Out

Sounds like Brad Goreski is poised to dominate in 2012. His new reality show It’s a Brad, Brad World debuts Monday on Bravo and has already received a decent amount of press. In fact, life must be a constant stream of phone interviews for the L.A.-based stylist. He’s been talking to many outlets (including us) about the show and his falling out with Rachel Zoe. Most recently, he talked to E!’s Mark Malkin about how his show will feature an “off the charts” number of “tears per episode.” And, according to WWD, he was waiting to board a plane when they chatted with him about his latest gig: “exclusive brand stylist” for Kate Spade.

The Brad Goreski-Rachel Zoe He Said She Said Just Won’t Quit

The Brad Goreski-Rachel Zoe He Said She Said Just Won’t Quit

Brad Goreski has a new show, burgeoning career as a stylist and a penchant for wearing really adorable bowties–But of course all anyone wants to talk about is what went down with Rachel Zoe, when the two parted ways earlier this year. And we can see why, because damnit if a good he-said-she-said isn’t always juicy.

In a recent interview with The Daily Beat, Goreski says that Zoe’s accusations of betrayal are completely false. “I think it’s unfortunate that she decided to take the angle that she did because it’s not the truth,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that all of the time that I spent with her, and the many lengthy conversations that we had discussing my departure from working with her, that she would choose to character assassinate me on television.”

Lady Gaga Fetes the Opening of Her Workshop at Barneys In Custom Chanel

Last night Lady Gaga was on hand in NYC to cut the ribbon of her highly anticipated Gaga’s Workshop at Barneys. Sadly, we missed Gaga’s giant-scissors-wielding entrance, but she clearly owned that custom-designed-by-Karl-Lagerfeld Chanel hoop-skirted ball gown. After a quick sweep through the crowd (and a kiss for a lucky Bryanboy, who was wearing an Read more →

Brad Goreski Talks to Us About His Upcoming Hosting Gig For GMHC and His New Reality Show, Plus New Trailers and Clips

Brad Goreski hasn’t fallen off our radar in the least since departing Rachel Zoe’s camp for the greener pastures of his own styling company earlier this year. If he has fallen off yours, chances are he’ll be back on in the coming months. His new Bravo reality show It’s a Brad, Brad World is set to kick off the new year on Monday, January 2 and he tells us he’ll be doing lots to get the word out.

Tomorrow night, he’ll be in NYC to host Fashion Forward, an annual fashion show benefit for the Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), along with Tracee Ellis Ross (Diana Ross’ daughter). It’s always a great event and will feature looks by Chris Benz, Thom Browne, Jean Paul Gaultier, Zang Toi, Timo Weiland and others. (Go here to buy tickets!)

Goreski was nice enough to answer some questions for us! Click through to hear more about his involvement with the GMHC, what he’s thankful for and whether or not he’d ever move to NYC, plus see a full trailer and two new clips from the show. It looks juicy!

The Rachel Zoe Project‘s Jeremiah Brent Tells Us About Wanting to Be a Stylist, Organizing Skyler Berman’s Closet and Dressing Like a Homeless Lesbian

We’ll admit it. We kind of have a huge crush on Rachel Zoe’s newest employee and breakout star of her reality show, Jeremiah Brent. In the beginning, Jeremiah, or ‘Miah, garnered obvious comparisons to Rachel Zoe’s former employee Brad Goreski, who he was technically replacing. We even wondered if Rachel only hired him because he was super hot and made for good television and when he got fired, many criticized Rachel and Rodger for using him to get their house decorated on the cheap.

But as season four went on, ‘Miah held his own by (literally) proving himself over and over again as one of Rachel’s most dedicated and hard-working employees ever, even after he was fired. He also happens to straddle that line between hot and adorable so perfectly that it sometimes distracted us from everything else going on in the show.

Kate Spade Spring 2012: Playful Prints With a Sense of History

Kate Spade Spring 2012: Playful Prints With a Sense of History

You always know what you’re going to get with Kate Spade: Feminine silhouettes, charming prints and quirky-cool accessories. And the Spring 2012 presentation was no exception.

Creative Director Deborah Lloyd mined the life and work of Australian artist Florence Broadhurst whose incredibly interesting life story and gorgeous prints served as an interesting and fruitful source of inspiration.

If you’re not already familiar with Broadhurst, you should definitely Wikipedia her–like now. Born in Australia in 1899, Broadhurst travelled the world first as a singer, then a comedienne, before settling briefly in Shanghai where she set up a finishing school for girls. From there she went on to live in England and Australia, marry twice, found the Florence Broadhurst Wallpaper company, which became known for it’s striking, hand-painted prints, and build an accomplished oeuvre as a landscape artist, only to be found murdered at the age 78 in 1977. (See, we told you it was interesting).

Get Your DVR Ready: Here’s Our Guide to All the New Fashion TV Shows

Remember waaay back in 2004, when the first-ever designer was auf’d on Project Runway, and there was still a glimmer of hope that ANTM might actually find America’s next top model? We secretly practiced smizing in the mirror and cringed at the prospect of boring Nina. Well, things have gotten a lot more complex since those simple times–for better or worse (but mostly better!). While we still love our old faves, it’s always nice to mix it up a bit and keep the DVR busy–especially when it comes to fashion television.

This fall and beyond offers a slew of exciting (and at times, a little repetitive) new fashionably oriented reality shows: From competitions searching for even more amazing new talents, to docu-series following our already much-loved fash peeps (hello, Brad!), to a behind-the-counter look at one of our go-to shopping spots. These shows are like shoes–you can really never have too many. (Though you might stop wearing shoes all together. You don’t really need them for sitting on the couch, do you?)

So which ones are you watching? Ready, set, “Record Series!”
