NBC’s new fashion reality show Fashion Star will be returning for a second season and with at least a couple of significant changes (we’d recommend several but that’s just us). The biggest perhaps is that supermodel Elle Macpherson, Fashion Star‘s answer to Project Runway‘s Heidi Klum is out as host after one season.
It’s no secret that the always-outrageously-dressed Anna Dello Russo seems to like getting photographed. But few people realize just how important it really is to the editor. In a limo ride ADR shared with the Telegraph (jealous!), the editor said: “In the beginning [being photographed for street style] was a little embarrassing. But sometimes now Read more →
In-laws have never been the best part of marriage, but Kate Middleton seems to have gotten a pretty sweet deal. Prince Charles is picking up the Duchess’s clothing bill, and it isn’t exactly at Zara prices. {The Telegraph}
