Are these earrings from the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013 show racist? Some people are crying foul over these and the matching prints that went down the runway. {HuffPo} The full editorial from Vogue Paris starring Kate Moss and George Michael has hit the internet, and even though we still don't quite get it, the photos are stunning. {Design Scene} Kristen Bell stars in Target's first shoppable video, called "Falling for You." It's a romantic comedy. Really. {FabSugar}

We’re in England this time, shooting a 14 page fashion story at an old country estate about three hours from London. I am to meet the driver and photographer’s assistants at 5 a.m. the morning of the shoot to load the 12 trunks, racks, steamer and all the lighting equipment into the back of the trailer. I’m safely asleep in my hotel room the night before when my phone rings. It’s the driver. He’s only just looked at the call sheet I sent him three days previously, and he’s refusing to drive us such a long way. I open a bleary eye. It’s 2 a.m. and I’m being blackmailed. Unless I give him $350 more he’s not going to turn up for the job in three hours time. After what feels like years of arguing I give in, if only to get some much needed rest. Wait nervously the next morning for my blackmailer to turn up. He opens the back of the van to reveal 200 folding chairs in the space where our equipment is supposed to go. He refuses to take them out, saying I never told him we would need his van to be empty. Big screaming fight ensues as I try to point out the rational sense of hiring a van generally means that you have something to transport. I give in and call Fashion Director after he has dramatically declared that I have ruined his life. My sarcastic observation that this is quite a feat since we’ve known each other less than a day does not go over well. After more than a few choice words from FD he unpacks all the chairs one by one, we load the equipment, and, more than an hour late we set off on one of the more tense journeys of my life.

It may be a little early in the season for this, but we’re going to go ahead and declare Erickson Beamon AW/12 the best presentation milieu of fashion month—yes, month. Hands down. Allow us set the scene. For their first ready-to-wear collection, Karen Erickson and Vicki Beamon transported us back in time to the Prohibition Era by way of a swanky German speakeasy burlesque bar complete with cabaret café-style seating, flapper dancers, and live concerto music courtesy of The Citizens Band. Equally racy yet reserved Anita Berber-inspired models sipped white wine and mingled amongst themselves whilst sensually swaying along with the upbeat jazz tunes, wearing sumptuous floor-length slip dresses and silky cocktail frocks in a lush, dark palette of onyx and bordeaux. And it wouldn’t be an Erickson Beamon soiree without utterly amazing jewelry—

If you've watched Bridezillas, you know it's difficult to plan a wedding. Every detail is mulled over ad nauseam: the music, decor, seating arrangements, the dress, and, of course, the invitations. Fashion Week is kind of the same way. Design houses are in a frenzy, burning Lana Del Rey MP3s, obsessing over the set design, sitting in on model castings, making sure the most prominent editors get choice seating, and sending out creative invites to garner excitement (rather than panic attacks) over the several shows they will have to sit through and ultimately, report on. Just as every bride wants her invitations to capture the essence of her wedding, designers are behooved to get a little creative with their invites. To show you how funky some brands get, we've compiled the most interesting invites we've received. From embossed flasks to digital picture frames, click through for the fashion show invitations that got us most excited.
