Holmes & Yang made no bones about trying to step it up in the fashion department–and their Spring 2013 promised to be an effort to move their label in a more fashion-forward direction.

We’ve become huge fans of the Hollywood Reporter over the last few months, mostly due to Janice Min’s excellent makeover of the trade publication.

Rachel Zoe obviously ranks number one, with names like Nicole Chavez, Annabel Tollman, Brad Goreski, Leslie Fremar, and Kate Young rounding it out.

Quietly, the news that Katie Holmes has been working on a line of children’s clothing has been floating around without any real confirmation until ELLE‘s Twitter yesterday afternoon.

Vogue UK stumbled on a very fun(ny) fact recently: That Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes approached Richard Prince about “a project” they’re working on, and were rejected because Prince said there was “no connection” for him.
