Andre Leon Talley on Mick Jagger: ‘He’s Like a Dandelion’

Between waxing poetic about Uggs, and defending Condoleeza Rice’s lipstick-on-teeth incident, there’s no question that Andre Leon Talley certainly has a way with words.

Most recently, he put his linguistic talent to good use to review a Rolling Stones concert for Vogue.com. And, well, let’s just say we don’t think anyone would have reviewed the concert in quite the same way. Read on for the greatest quotes from the piece.

Fashionista Week in Review: The Fashion Industry Post-Sandy, Celebs Come Out for Halloween and More Peeks at Prabal Gurung for Target

Celebs Do Halloween: With Halloween washed away by Sandy, we had a good time living vicariously through our favorite stars. Some, like Ellen Degeneres and Miley Cyrus, dressed as fellow celebs, and others sparked controversy with their costumes.

R-Patz and K-Stew Face Off: There was a rumor that Robert Pattinson inked his own fragrance deal with Dior (which was later denied), but we still needed to know: Who would broodily sell their fragrance better, Kristen or Rob?

Kate Moss on that Calvin Klein Campaign with Marky Mark: ‘I Had a Nervous Breakdown’

Kate Moss doesn’t open up very often. She’s notoriously press shy. But in her cover story for the December issue of Vanity Fair (shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott), she gives one of the most revealing interviews we’ve ever read.

She opens up about the iconic campaign that gave her a “nervous breakdown,” her reluctance to go nude–especially as a teen for photographer Corinne Day, her relationship with Johnny Depp, and so much more.

And the CFDA Award Winners Are…

And the CFDA Award Winners Are…

The fashion Oscars CFDA awards have wrapped: The Olsens took home the big prize for womenswear for the Row (they very adorably thanked each other); Seth Meyers wore Marc Jacobs’ Met ball outfit (and dared to make a Galliano joke); Garance Dore had folks tearing up when she accepted her award by telling the audience to “take your fun very seriously…[and] maybe one day you will start a revolution”; and John Waters proved the perfect person to pick up awards for both Comme des Garçons‘ Rei Kawakubo (“I wear Comme des Garcons to be fashionable in private…We know how great her clothes look but others just think we’re poor”) and Johnny Depp (“He has fashion balls…he was a pirate Pepe Le Pew way before I met him”). And the industry recognized its finest talents this year.

Without further ado, the 2012 CFDA award winners:

Boo! Johnny Depp Will Not Accept his CFDA Style Icon Award in Person

Boo! Johnny Depp Will Not Accept his CFDA Style Icon Award in Person

We figured it was a long shot but we were really hoping that Johnny Depp would actually show up at Monday’s CFDA Awards in some fabulous fedora-plus-tiny scarf-plus pinstriped suit-plus arm party get up to accept his style icon award. Alas, it is not to be.

Johnny Depp will pick up his award in absentia as he is currently on location in the Navajo Nation filming The Lone Ranger, WWD is reporting. Comme des Garçons‘ Rei Kawakubo, who is set to receive the International Award, will also be a no show; she’s busy prepping her June 29 men’s show in Paris.
