Fashion News Roundup: FDA Says There’s Lead in Your Lipstick, Lara Stone Has Road Rage, and Kate Middleton Went to a Non-Alcoholic Bar

FDA Says Most Lipsticks Contain Lead: Just when you thought it was safe to add some pigment to your pout! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration conducted a study for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, and found that of 400 lipsticks they tested, the majority contained low levels of lead. L’Oreal’s “Color Sensational” Pink Petal lipstick had the most lead, containing 7.19 parts per million. Compare that with children’s products sold in the U.S., which are not allowed to have more that 100 parts per million. But don’t get too worried– the FDA says the levels are so miniscule, there’s really nothing to worry about. (HuffPost)

Orlando Bloom Says Wife Miranda Kerr Makes Being Beautiful “Look Easy”: He might not be spending Valentine’s day with his supermodel spouse, but Orlando Bloom had no shortage of nice words for his wife Miranda Kerr. The actor told the folks at Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O radio show that he is in awe of how quickly Kerr shed those post-baby pounds: “To have just had a baby and then got back up on to do that. I don’t think it’s easy for those girls. They make it look easy, but you know, it’s a lot of work to look good.” (Vogue UK)

Huffpost Style Compares NYFW to Your High School Cafeteria:…and they might have a point. From seating politics, to an arbitrarily determined social hierarchy, Fashion Week is kind of like a chic flashback to our high school days. (HuffPost)

Fashion News Roundup: Karl Lagerfeld’s New Kitten Eats Paper, Gisele’s Lingerie Brand Is Going Global, and Anna Wintour and Scarlett Johansson Are Partying for Obama

Gisele Is Taking Her Lingerie Brand Global: Gisele’s lingerie brand is less than a year old, but she’s going for world domination with it. It’s already sold in Latin America, Portugal, Japan, and Israel. {WWD, subscription required.}

Christian Siriano Is Designing Bridalwear: This makes perfect sense, though its timing with Heidi’s divorce is just that much more heartbreaking *sob*. Siriano tweeted that it was an exclusive collection with Nordstrom. Next up: white satin pumps at Payless? {NYMag}

Karl Lagerfeld’s New Kitten Likes to Eat Paper: This item made it into WWD. That is all. {WWD, subscription required.)

Nicole Miller Fall 2011: Cool Blue
Reviews

Nicole Miller Fall 2011: Cool Blue

Nicole Miller’s latest collection was as badass as we felt at the show wedged between Richie Rich and Gabrielle Union. Leather detailing, asymmetrical cuts, and a menswear influence all served as yet another departure from the line’s girly, form-fitting, party dress image.

Miller paired a sequin sheath with an angular leather vest, and a diagonal stripe skirt over boot cut silk pants. There were foiled metal skirts, leather leggings a la Alexander Wang, and Persian lamb coats.

While we love that Miller is amping up the edge, our favorite looks were those with less bulk–a black and blue printed silk dress and a red and gray printed blouson top with a metallic pencil skirt.

DJ Jazzy Gemma

Amidst all this model madness there’s one particular doll face we’ve been missing. We haven’t seen Gemma Ward since, well, we didn’t actually see The Black Balloon, so since the preview for The Black Balloon. Sister Sophie popped up at Australia Fashion Week, but Gemma’s all but disappeared since an Italian Vogue editorial with Lily Read more →

Pam & Richie Make Muse

Pamela Anderson’s Vivienne Westwood contract must be up. The formerBaywatch star said, “I prefer to be naked, but if I’m not, I want to be wearing Richie Rich.” And so it naturally follows that she’d develop a line with the old half of Heatherette. The New York-based designer and Pamela, who closed Richie’s super glittery Read more →
