Fashion News Roundup: Courtney Pays Up, Riccardo Tisci Gets Religious, and the Fashion World Bets on Galliano’s Successor
Courtney Love Pays $430k For Dissing Designer: Courtney Love will be paying dearly for ranting on Twitter about Dawn Simorangkir (aka the “Boudoir Queen”), who accused Courtney of ruining her business as a result. Courtney’ll be making payments through 2014. Courtney’s lawyer “doesn’t think she’s using Twitter” anymore. Smart. {The Hollywood Reporter}
Riccardo Tisci Collaborates With Visionaire On Its 60th Issue: Tisci curates the entire issue, which features a never-before-seen Robert Mapplethorpe photo, Carine Roitfeld shot by Karl Lagerfeld, and something with Helmut Lang, though Tisci didn’t say what. The theme is religion, and if fashion is your religion, this will be an issue not to miss. It will be out in June for a mere $425. {Style.com}








Then it was off to Alex Wang’s carnival over by the IAC building. Pretty much every person who works in fashion/has something to do with fashion was there–from Alessandra Ambrosio to MIA, who was supposed to perform but maybe never did? No one seems to have stuck around for it. Fortunately, the parking lot was so massive that it wasn’t crazy crowded–we had an amazing, amazing time. Belvedere vodka sponsored the carnival, which included a carousel–yes, we rode it–bumper cars–line was too long–and a crazy amount of games. Leah won at basketball, Britt won at knocking down the clown heads, I won at nothing–well, maybe ski ball, but there were no prizes for that. All in all, it was the best fashion party I’ve been to in a long time–maybe ever.
