Fashion News Roundup: Courtney Pays Up, Riccardo Tisci Gets Religious, and the Fashion World Bets on Galliano’s Successor

Courtney Love Pays $430k For Dissing Designer: Courtney Love will be paying dearly for ranting on Twitter about Dawn Simorangkir (aka the “Boudoir Queen”), who accused Courtney of ruining her business as a result. Courtney’ll be making payments through 2014. Courtney’s lawyer “doesn’t think she’s using Twitter” anymore. Smart. {The Hollywood Reporter}

Fragrance Friday: Heidi Klum Is “In” At Coty, Orlando Bloom Is An Orange Man, And Vincent Cassel Wants To Seduce You For YSL

It wouldn’t be a Friday without some celeb fragrance news.

Heidi Klum Gets A Scent: We’re frankly surprised that it took this long. Heidi’s new fragrance, Shine, will launch in September 2011. There’s no information about what the fragrance will actually smell like.

She has already worked with Coty, who’s producing the scent, on Euro makeup brand Astor, but this will be her first foray into the American beauty market. Heidi told WWD that her dad was a marketing director at a cosmetics company and she interned there when she was 13. Perhaps a full color line is next?

And any bets on whether or not the next batch of Project Runway designers will have to create a look inspired by Shine?

Orlando Bloom Is Not A Model:

Charlize Theron and Orlando Bloom are Uniqlo’s New Brand Ambassadors

As Japanese basics purveyor Uniqlo has expanded into markets beyond Asia, it’s made a concerted effort to take things to a higher level, at least when it comes to design. The brand’s first big campaign here in the US included scenesters like Chloe Sevigny and Kim Gordon. Uniqlo quickly became the poor man’s APC, or the cool guy’s Gap, however you want to look at it.

But that was in 2007, before the recession hit. Now, being cool isn’t as important as being beloved by the masses. Uniqlo’s taking a cue from competitor Gap, releasing a “Made For All” campaign starring international celebrities Charlize Theron and Orlando Bloom.

The campaign makes sense. Uniqlo’s mission is to provide well-made, good-looking clothes to everyone. But are Charlize and Orlando the right ambassadors? We’re not so sure. When we think of innate style, they’re not the first celebs that come to our minds.

Lea Journo Launches Products

Hairstylist Lea Journo’s salon inside the Beverly Wilshire (yes, that would be the Reg Bev Wil) looks way groovier than you would expect for the old school ritzy hotel. I first met Lea when I was writing a story about her for the now (sadly!) defunct Vitals and I instantly adored her. She’s Parisian and [...]
