If it’s true, she’ll take over as creative director of the line once the actual Valentino retires. For those of you asking, “Alessandra Who?” here’s some info: She’s the Italian daughter of Euro pop star Roby Facchinetti. [...]

Is Rihanna a Hipster?

We love everything about Rihanna, but lately we’ve been wondering: Is her style going the way of Hedi Slimane and Surface 2 Air? Witness her recent Umbrella video, where she rocks a sharp sliver of a bob, yesterday’s eyeliner, and a dress that’s halfway between Versace and Urban Outfitters. Rihanna looks incredible but she also [...]

Versace Hearts Catherine McNeil

When Mario Testino falls in love, he falls hard. Example: Catherine McNeil, the seventeen-year-old model from Australia who caught his eye with Carine Roitfeld, and immediately booked 35 Fall shows, then landed on the cover of V Magazine. But that’s not all: Catherine McNeil is reportedly signed to a six-month exclusive deal with Mario Testino [...]

I Saw Sparks

We’ve gotten a few emails about Kirsten Dunst’s shiny dress from the Spiderman 3 premiere. Here are our responses: 1. To Amy: The dress is old-school Versace, and was made when Gianni was still in the House. 2. To Keisha: Yes, we do think she looks amazing. 3. To Jess: Please don’t go looking for [...]

Get High With Donatella

Giorgio Armani and Coach have both designed Vespas; Eddie Bauer even got to create the inside of a Jeep. But Donatella Versace might be the ultimate travel designer now that she’s paired with Agusta Westland to design the insides of private jets. When we heard the news, we assumed Ms. Versace would gild the whole [...]

Adventures in Copyright Infringement, Part 7

Thanks to Erin Perkins, who wrote in this weekend with a vital question: Is a $1200 Versace dress really worth it when you can buy the same print at Bebe? We like the shape of the Versace a lot better, but if you unhooked the cheesy belt from the Bebe version and wore it with [...]

Is The New: Versace and Burberry?

FabSugar extols the gorgeous new Versace ads, and we agree, they’re super. But don’t they remind you of something? Something like Burberry’s Spring ’07 campaign, which also stars Kate Moss in a cropped British mini-dress and some fellow supermodels as her backup dancers? Have a look and let us know if it makes you hungry [...]

Chris Kane for Naomi Campbell – It’s Official?

First reports out of Britain say Naomi Campbell will launch her own fashion line, with Christopher Kane as the designer. Mr. Kane is quite a busy boy this season – besides launching his own sophomore collection, he did a capsule range for TopShop and consulted with Donatella Versace on her triumphant runway show. If the [...]

Can You Handle Naomi Campbell?

British GQ celebrates Naomi Campbell’s twenty years in fashion (!) with a massive photo spread and a new title – after Naomi challenged writer Piers Morgan to submit to similar questions about his own personal life, she was awarded a contributing editor spot on the masthead! But isn’t it a little strange that GQ would [...]

At Versace, Donatella Puts Herself on the Runway

It was easy and sexy and a little bit Kim Basinger from the ’90s. We were especially struck by Milana Bogolepova, the Russian blonde who looks like a dream version of Donatella. Casting herself as one of the collection’s muses was probably wise – can anyone under 25 afford a career sheath from Versace? Would [...]

The Fashion Scorecard

Reese Witherspoon’s dress by Olivier Theyskens might top the style charts, but Zac Posen’s gown for Gwyneth still wins a contest of sorts. Here’s a raw, unedited, unresearched, slightly mad scorecard for designers, dresses, and the Oscars. Zac, it seems, gets a Mr. Popularity award for two major dresses of the night… Armani – 2 [...]

All Anna, All The Time

Hilary Alexander’s reports from Milan are whirlwind morsels of new news (Versace seamstresses dispatched to LA!), old news (Kate Moss on the British Vogue cover for Top Shop!), and things that make us laugh too hard. Among that last category is this: Christopher Bailey may be headed to Vanity Fair’s Oscar party for the first [...]
