Fashion News Roundup: Karl On Kate, The Times Tries To Figure Out Kim Kardashian, and Is Stefano Tonchi In The Hot Seat?

Karl On Kate: Karl Lagerfeld could care less about who will make Kate Middleton’s wedding dress (even though we do). But he does have some nice things to say about the future princess: “She is very different from Princess Diana, and seems very well balanced and a happy person. She is chic in a way the position needs. Let’s wait and see.” {WWD}

The Outnet Gets an Overhaul: The Outnet is celebrating their new look by having a massive Alexander Wang sale. We are not sad about it. {Racked}

The Times Tries to Figure Out Why People Like Kim Kardashian: The newspaper of record takes a look at the empire Kim K. and her sisters have created. {The New York Times}

Tonchi In The Hot Seat at W? : NY Post media columnist Keith Kelly has it from a reliable source that Condé Nast isn’t pleased with Stefano Tonchi’s work at W because they don’t like “direction the magazine is taking.” When asked for comment, Condé told New York’s Daily Intel that Kelly’s story was, “the furthest thing from the truth.

But that last one–that is not one we can get behind.

Sure, everyone knows that Conrad doesn’t actually design her clothing collection for Kohl’s. And that her fiction books are ghostwritten by one writer or another. That’s common practice in Hollywood, and we don’t blame her for it.

Annie Leibovitz, Britney Spears & Candie’s

We bet when Britney Spears showed up to shoot her Candie’s for Kohl’s campaign, she wasn’t expecting to find Annie Leibovitz behind the camera. Leibovitz’s has been in the news this year for going broke, despite commanding tremendous amounts of money to shoot for Vanity Fair, Vogue and numerous advertising clients while Britney’s been in Read more →

Quote of the Day

“What’s jarring is the marriage between the series and its new home. Project Runway is Barneys; Lifetime is Kohl’s. The cable outfit that broadcasts Army Wives and Reba reruns maintains an ethos that says, ‘Viewer, I see your cellulite; I’m down with your fibromyalgia; I know your menopausal misery.’ …the current season [of PR] is Read more →
