Fashionista Week in Review: Karl Lagerfeld in a Mankini, P’Trique Spills Charlotte Free’s Maybelline ‘Chicret,’ and Victoria Beckham Is Secretly Hilarious

Antonio Lopez Gets a New Biography + The Best Karl Lagerfeld Photo Ever: Renowned fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez was once close with Karl Lagerfeld, so naturally the new biography about Lopez includes pictures of a younger, buffer Lagerfeld.

Hashtag “Chicret”: We love P’Trique, but we love pink-tressed model Charlotte Free even more, which is why we were so excited to watch this hilarious video with P’Trique announcing Charlotte’s new gig with Maybelline.

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Model Scorned: Or in this case, a supermodel ignored. Find out why Coco Rocha is so pissed at Elle Brasil.

Kimye Debut as Couple at Chanel Dinner: In the surest sign so far that the world will end in 2012, Kim K and Kanye West stepped out together publicly for the first time at a Chanel dinner. Has anyone been keeping a timer here? Surely it’s been about 15 minutes….

Top Models Dish Their Beauty Secrets: We get the dirt on Andrej’s at-home blow outs, Karolina’s makeup removal technique, and Coco’s obsession with cover-up.

Kanye West’s Shoes Are Insane, His Collection Gets Mediocre Reviews: Ok, so his second season’s show wasn’t as bad as the first time — but it still wasn’t very good.
