We love the Isabel Toledo quote, “trends are for amateurs,” but today a Vogue UK editor told us something we might like better: “You know the reason Christopher Kane’s dresses are so short?” She asked. “It’s because he’s poor.

We are ashamedly obsessed with this new piece of information: Agyness Deyn is really Laura Hollins. That’s the main shocker in the Daily Mail’s expose of the model, who changed her name because of her mother’s belief in numerology, and DNA’s belief that “Laura Hollins” wouldn’t book a Vogue cover.

It’s true that this week, we swore off House of Holland for fear of overhype. Unfortunately, he has some new t-shirts about to go on his website that are not just funny, but important, since they introduce some younger British designers that you may want to Google-image after smothering your laughter.

Suzy Menkes and the International Herald Tribune recently paid tribute to Colette, the French boutique that’s managed to become, arguably, the coolest store in the world. How?

Alright Still

Lily Allen’s appearance at Chanel last season may have mixed up her fans, the fashion press, and us (we’re both): Lily’s not starring Chanel’s new ad campaign; she’s starring in her own ad campaign for a future New Look collection!
