Did Olivier Sarkozy Move Downtown to Be Closer to Mary-Kate Olsen?

Long-distance relationships can be tricky and no one knows that better than fashion’s newest power couple Mary-Kate Olsen, who lives downtown (near Tribeca we believe) and Olivier Sarkozy, who lives all the way…uptown. To close this insurmountable gap in their relationship (although that age one wasn’t much of an issue), Sarkozy sold his Upper East Side townhouse earlier this year for $8.4 million and had been renting a place in Chelsea until he found something further downtown–a townhouse “below 14th” to be exact–to be closer to MK, Pages Six is reporting:

But it seems Sarko has now found hipper digs further downtown, in which he can entertain his billionaire, 17-years-younger, child-star-turned-fashion-designer gal pal. In the footsteps of Alec Baldwin, he’s following the trend of older men moving downtown to satisfy the tastes of their younger, more energetic girlfriends.

Yes, that must be what he’s doing.

Fashion News Roundup: Kim Kardashian Has a Wardrobe Malfunction (Again), Kristen Stewart Wears $700 Sneakers on the Red Carpet, and an Analysis of North Korea’s Shrinking Hemlines

If Kanye is going to insist on dressing Kim, can he at least invest in some proper undergarments? Kimmy had a bra-related wardrobe malfunction this weekend in Miami. {HuffPo}

Apparently Blake Lively can front for Gucci perfume and still be a Chanel ambassador. At the same time. OK? {The Cut}

It’s no secret that Kristen Stewart loves to wear her sneaks on the red carpet, but at least this $700 pair by Barbara Bui are a bit more stylish than her typical beat-up Converse. {Hollywood Reporter}

What’s in a hemline? According to North Korea experts, a lot. They’re trying to analyze the status of the country by recent shots of women in shorter skirts. {NYTimes}

Menswear Trends For The Gals: A good suit or blazer is just as much a necessity for men as it is for women, but that’s not where the gender bending ends. We took a look at some of the top street style trends at menswear fashion week and made them work for the girls. We wouldn’t recommend that Nazi-inspired look that’s been trending, though…

From Full House to CFDA Winners: How the Olsens Became Legitimate Designers

Ten years ago, if someone told you that the Olsen twins–they of the matchy-matchy outfits and cheesy made-for-TV-movies–would win the most prestigious fashion design award in America, beating out the likes of Marc Jacobs, you’d laugh. But that’s precisely what happened last night, when Mary-Kate and Ashley took home the CFDA Award for womenswear designer(s) of the year.

Celebrity-designed lines are not exactly rare–but what is rare, is for them to be taken seriously by the industry. So how did the Olsens, who began their careers sharing the role of the adorable Michelle Tanner on Full House, manage to avoid the stigma of the ‘celebrity designer’ and become legitimate creatives and businesswomen embraced by industry?

Fashionista Week in Review: Queen Elizabeth’s Best Hats, the Best and Worst Dressed Cities in America and a Japanese Drug Store Beauty Secrets

All in the Name of “Art”: Artist Tyler Shields is no stranger to controversy, but Clint Eastwood’s daughter Francesca was – until she lit a Birkin bag on fire, worth a reported $100K, for Shields’ lens. The internet erupted in outrage over the waste, pushing Shields to offer $100,000 to a family in need. But was the bag even real?

Steve Madden Calls the Olsen Twins “A Pain in the Ass”: While celebrating the US launch of Superga, we caught up with Steve Madden, who says he enjoys working with the Olsen twins even if they are “very demanding.”
