Ladies love (cool) Michael Kors. The mega-designer and much-missed Project Runway judge beat out Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch as the most sought-after American fashion brand on the Internet. {WWD}

How much cheddar do models actually make? And no–we aren’t talking Gisele. Hard facts this way… {Refinery29}

Her ousting is rumored to be due to a decrease in ad pages, particularly from luxury brands, even though we really loved the hyper-real messy/sexy/edgy vibe she Read more →
