The Beckhams Don’t Have a Damien Hirst Baby Monitor: Victoria Beckham has fired back at the UK tabs, denying reports that little Harper Seven received a £10,000 baby monitor as a gift from artist Damien Hirst. How useful could a baby monitor submerged in formaldehyde really be, anyway? {Daily Mail}

Hilary Rhoda’s Legs are Looong: Is this real? Model Hilary Rhoda’s legs look absolutely ridic in this shoot for French glossy Le Figaro. Or as Christian in Clueless would say… “Nice stems.” {Le Figaro via Fashin}

Jean Paul Gaultier on Cannes Jury? With rumors floating around that JPG will join the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Fest, it sounds like fashion may feature heavily behind the scenes as well as on the red carpet. If only, for close friend (and dissed W.E. creator) Madonna’s sake, this had happened last year… {WWD}

Decades Co-owner Christos Garkinos On His New Bravo Show: ‘It’s Fashion Porn’

Almost exactly a year ago, Bravo announced plans to debut a reality show centered around the owners of L.A. vintage fashion mecca Decades. We were so excited, but then it never materialized–until now.

Included in Bravo’s new list of greenlit shows for next season, is “Decades (working title)” in which “Renowned boutique owners, Christos Garkinos and Cameron Silver, show off their exclusive and glamorous world of vintage couture filled with Givenchy, Balenciaga and Chanel.” We wanted to find out a little more about the forthcoming series, so we spoke with Garkinos, who’s been filming the show along with his business partner, Decades founder Cameron Silver, about what to expect and why their show will be different from all those other fashion reality shows.

Brad Goreski Is Writing a Book Doling Out ‘Life and Style Lessons from the Front Lines of Fashion’

He already has his own Bravo reality show and now stylist Brad Goreski has landed a lucrative book deal.

Brad just Tweeted, “Hi everyone! I am so excited to be writing a book for @harpercollins. It’s called “Born to Be Brad” and will be out sometime next year :)”

The full title is Born to Be Brad: Life and Style Lessons from the Front Lines of Fashion, according to Coco Perez, and the tome will reportedly cover everything from Brad’s childhood to landing a job as Rachel Zoe’s assistant and everything in between.

“Sometimes the hardest thing to do is be true to yourself,” Brad told the site. “I hope that Born to be Brad will inspire others to pursue their dreams, because to make dreams come true we have to listen to our hearts and not be afraid to fail.”

The book is expected to hit shelves around the same time Brad’s Bravo show, “It’s a Brad Brad World” airs next year. Got to time those things right!

We’re big fans of Brad’s and congratulate him on all his success! He’s hilarious and we’re sure that will come through in his book. Also, being clever as we are, we’ve noticed a pattern emerging here in how Brad’s projects are titled. So for his future endeavors, we have some title suggestions:

Brad Goreski To Get His Own Show on Bravo, It’s a Brad Brad World

It was only a matter of time. Rachel Zoe‘s former assistant Brad Goreski, whose bow ties often stole a little of Zoe’s spotlight on her own Bravo series, has landed his own show on Bravo called It’s a Brad Brad World.

According to the release we just received from Bravo, the show will follow Goreski “as he embarks on his new solo career as a stylist…and tries to maintain his personal life.” Cameras will trail Goreski as he hits up Paris fashion week, Cannes, the men’s runway shows and couture.

Goreski has certainly stepped up his styling game since parting ways with new mommy Zoe.

How Nixon’s Daughter Inspired the Wrap Dress and Other Words Words of Wisdom from DvF

One of our favorite fashion people, Diane von Furstenberg–who apparently just goes by DvF now, as Diddy goes by Diddy-Dirty Money–is great in front of an audience. She says ridiculous, off-the-cuff things that are actually true, and it’s hilarious.

And last night on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, DvF didn’t disappoint, dolling out some real–as in real funny–advice:

Best snack that won’t make you gain weight? “Your nails.”
Biggest turn off in a man? “I don’t like men who tell jokes. I like shy men. My husband was a very shy when I met him.”
One thing you should never wear past the age of 30? “Diapers.”

She also let on about how her career-launching wrap dress came about.
