Fashionista Week in Review: Vogue‘s Model Behavior, the 25 Most Influential Women Designers and Kate Upton Gets More Famous
One Small Step for Vogue: One giant step for fashion-kind. All 19 editions of Vogue announced this week they will no longer work with unhealthy-looking models or girls under 16.
Linda’s Child Support Demands: Making her “$10,000 to get out of bed” claims look downright tame, Linda Evangelista is asking for $46,000 a month in child support (that’s $552,000 a year). Unsurprisingly, the court battle is getting a little dirty.
Rules to Retail By: An anonymous ex-retail employee lays down the law when it comes to shopping. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
Tom Ford’s Naughty Lookbook: In typical Tom Ford style, his spring 2012 menswear lookbook features nudity and ass pinching.

Fashionista Week in Review: The Sea of Shoes Controversy, How To Dress Like a Spice Girl Today and the Best Fashion Schools for Marketing, Journalism, and PR
Get Your Girl Power On: Nearly 15 years later, it is still all about the Spice Girls as a musical based on the group is in the works. Chances are good you’ve picked a favorite and stuck with her (Ginger!) and we put together a guide to recreating those infamous looks. We think it’s high time Union Jack motifs and platform boots made their comeback.
Hip Hop and High Fashion: Rappers and hip hop artists have never shied away from the fashion world, and with recent releases by Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, we’re reminded just how much our favorite MCs love their labels. Naturally, we had to put together a list of our top 10 favorite fashion-related rap lyrics.
Fashion U:Thinking about going to school for a fashion-related major? We did some research and put together our top 10 schools for industry jobs outside of design (think: PR, journalism, marketing, etc.,). Start working on that admissions essay!
ControverSea of Shoes: What started out as a local profile piece has turned into quite a storm over the Sea of Shoes. Blogger Jane Aldridge says the whole thing is “grossly exaggerated” and in need of serious fact-checking, but the author of the original profile is standing up for his piece.

UPDATE, Prada Refutes Story: Miuccia Prada Slams Her Upcoming Met Exhibit
If you thought the Met Institute’s upcoming exhibit honoring both Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada seemed like a random pairing, well, that’s because it kind of is. And according to WWD, Miuccia Prada is not happy about it.
“It’s too formal. They are focused on similarities, comparing feather with feather, ethnic with ethnic, but they are not taking into consideration that we are talking about two different eras, and that [Schiaparelli and I] are total opposite.” she told WWD, of the exhibit. “I told them, but they don’t care.”
Prada has a point:

Next Year’s Alexander McQueen Retrospective at The Met Will Be Amazing
This Spring, Alexander McQueen’s life work will be in full bloom at the Metropolitan Museum, where the Costume Institute is celebrating the late designer’s career with a retrospective. It sounds beyond amazing. Called Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, the exhibition will be on view from May 4 through July 31, 2011 and will encompass all of his work, from his Central Saint Martins postgrad collection in 1992 to his final runway presentation this past February.
The exhibition begins two days after the Costume Institute Gala Benefit, and here are the deets we have on that: Honorary Chairs are François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek, and the Co-Chairs will be Colin Firth, Stella McCartney, and Anna Wintour. Expect lots of McQueen.
As for the exhibition–the Costume Institute is not just throwing a range of dresses onto mannequins and calling it a day. The thoughtful retrospective will feature around 100 examples of McQueen’s work from the Alexander McQueen Archive in London, the Givenchy Archive in Paris and private collections.

The Met Blogs
When Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton planned their newest exhibit for The Met, they knew they wanted to bring “a noisy public together with an opportunity.” They wanted to give all of those blabby critics that stroll through the Met a forum where they can critique the works to (hopefully) open up a world-wide discussion Read more →
