It’s about to be Carine Roitfeld season, with the upcoming launch of her new magazine and MAC collaboration. She’s also a grandma, looks amazing and is friends with Karl Lagerfeld and Tom Ford.

We have to hand it to Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg: At just twenty-eight years old, he’s literally transformed the way our universe works, one HTML code– and hoodie– at a time. And like many of today’s greatest designers, Zuck has a signature uniform that’s appropriate (well, sort of appropriate) for nearly every occasion, from public Read more →
Katy Perry Makes a Funny at PFW: When asked about the revealing mini dress the Smurfette-tressed pop star donned recently in Paris, she replied, “It’s either Vegas hooker or Balmain.” And upon meeting Conde Nast chairman Jonathan Newhouse, Katy blurted out, “Newhouse– much better than old house!” Maybe the windows weren’t cracked quite enough during all those blue hair dying sessions, but we can’t say we mind the entertainment. {NY Mag}
Mila Kunis Shoots for Dior: Mila’s on a boat–or should we say, un bateau. The gorg actress and latest face of Dior was spotted looking tres chic as she shot a new campaign for the Parisian fashion house on La Seine. {Telegraph}
Alexa Chung Will Host Scottish Fashion Awards: Great Britain’s greatest Brit (fashion wise, anyway) is set to bring her quirky-cool brand of humor to the 7th annual Scottish Fashion Awards, in association with InStyle, this June. The awards celebrate the best of Scotch talent, and past honorees have included Christopher Kane, Holly Fulton, and Jonathan Saunders. Here’s hoping the program allows for multiple wardrobe changes for Alexa, a la Anne Hathaway at last year’s Oscars. {InStyle}
Ugg-ly Footwear Losing Stock Value The end of a fashion epidemic?? Stock in the comfy-yet-unfortunate looking booties has fallen a nearly unheard of 39% in the past week, and Crocs aren’t doing so hot either. It’s time to put them away, people. Forever. {Racked}
Tom Ford’s Documentary Airs Next Week : Tom Ford: Visionaries will air October 23 on OWN, offering a rare “intimate” look at Ford’s creative process and daily life. He apparently takes more than three baths a day. While we’re really excited about this doc, we’re secretly wishing this were a segment of now-defunct Oprah Winfrey Show– if only to hear Opie belt out a satisfying “Tooooom FoooOOOooord!!!” {Marie Claire}
Fashionable TwitPics of the Week: Revealing phone pics of Kim K. doing hookah, Hilary Rhoda’s store bought cookie dough, and Lily Donaldson on a very tiny horse. There’s even one of Doutzen Kroes doing her best Scarlett Johannson impression… well, almost. {FabSugar}
Chanel Model on France’s Dancing With The Stars Male model, Karl’s muse, and sometimes-”pop star” Baptiste Giabiconi is a contestant on France’s version of DWTS. He’s often shirtless… and wearing body glitter. Wonder if Karl tunes in every week for inspiration? {OhLaLa}
Miranda Kerr Will Wear the $2.5 Million Bra at the VS Show: The supermodel (and Orlando Bloom’s baby mama) will return to the VS catwalk next month, along with performers Kanye and Maroon 5, wearing a bejeweled bra worth $2.5m. I’ve already pre-ordered a few for myself. {Telegraph}

Steve Jobs’s Turtlenecks Aren’t Even by St. Croix: Here’s a case of mistaken mock-turtleneck identity that really worked out for St. Croix. Turns out the luxury brand, which reported a 100% sales increase following Steve Jobs’s death last week, didn’t actually make the Mac genius’s famed black shirts after all. Jobs revealed to biographer Walter Isaacson that the shirts were created by Japanese designer Issey Miyake, who was asked to create a uniform for Apple employees. Wonder how this news will impact Mr. Miyake’s business? {Styleite via Gawker}
A rep from men’s luxury brand St. Croix apparently told TMZ today that their turtleneck sales have shot up dramatically since yesterday’s untimely death of Apple genius Steve Jobs The brand’s black mock turtlenecks, which retail for $175 and are available here, were a part of his uniform. From TMZ:

A rep for the St. Croix clothing brand tells TMZ, as soon as news broke that Jobs had passed, their mock turtlenecks flew off the shelves — adding, St. Croix has experienced an “almost 100% increase in sales” since yesterday.

Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

It’s a sad day for dad jeans and turtlenecks everywhere: Steve Jobs announced yesterday that he would be stepping down as CEO of Apple Inc.
While Jobs will remain on the board at the company, he will no longer act as leader or public figure of the brand, which means we’re going to see a whole lot less of Jobs’ famous uniform: black turtlenecks, jeans, and New Balance sneakers.
