Lady Gaga Gives Ryan Seacrest a Makeover, Coco Rocha Chops It All Off, and the Mystery Behind Jeffrey Campbell

Lady Gaga, never one to commit to anything half-assed, actually wore her ARTPOP! cover makeup to an interview with Ryan Seacrest. Oh, and she got Seacrest to try it out too. {Elle UK} Justin Bieber isn't the only male posing nearly-nude (that happened, and yes, gross): "Dudeoir" photoshoots are gaining popularity with men who want to show off their goods. {NYPost} Coco Rocha is the latest model with a dramatic hair cut--the Canadian supe lopped off several inches of hair, which she dutifully documented for Allure. {Allure}

Head Over Heel-less

New blog Part Nouveau, or ‘partly new’, delves into fashion history to showcase the inspiration–be it art, photography or design–behind some of today’s biggest fashion moments. It’s fascinating and impossible not to get lost in, so we asked the site’s founder, Lilah Ramzi, to give us a little history lesson each week. This week's lesson? Those heel-less shoes Lady Gaga and Daphne Guinness love so much have been around for a loooong time.

Fashion News Roundup: Male Models Deliver Madonna's Perfume to Editors, Tel Aviv Hosts Its First Fashion Week, and Kim Kardashian Upsets Australia

Madonna's Perfume Delivered by Male Models: Madge apparently sent some studly male models to hand-deliver her new Truth or Dare fragrance to beauty editors in NYC. Sadly, our notably male-deprived office was not included in this gesture - leading me to believe that Madonna is in on some Mean Girls-esque, four-for-you,-Glenn-Coco-and-none-for-Gretchen-Weiners reverse-psychology scheme to subconsciously make us want her perfume even more. Damn you, Madonna, and your sneaky mind games! {Telegraph} RIP Master Embroiderer Francois Lesage: The Frenchman who led the embroidery atelier that served Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, and Bill Blass, has died at age 82. Lesage was known for being a true couture artisans, attaching every single bead by hand - a tradition that is now only utilized by a handful of designers. {NY Times} An Account of Tel Aviv's Very First Fashion Week: Lucky Mag contributer Ray Siegel reflects on Tel Aviv's first-ever fashion week, hosted by Roberto Cavalli. Apparently each favorite look was immediately followed by avid applause - guess that's faster than waiting to read the reviews! {Lucky}

Adventures in Copyright: Chris Benz is Jeffrey Campbell's Latest Victim

We were just tipped off that someone--namely, frequent AIC offender Jeffrey Campbell--has ripped off those ingenious Alejandro Ingelmo for Chris Benz woven wedges. The original is a classic tawny style--perfect for floor-skimming trousers and dresses--and retails for $795. Apparently Jeffrey Campbell thought they were perfect, too, and made an identical shoe for $148. Aside from being a semi-hideous orange mustard color, the copy is also really awkward looking, with a thicker strap and a square top. Where the original is elegant, this one is just... cheaper, and not in the awesome, I-just-scored-a-sweet-deal way. For more than $600 less, the knockoff is definitely more affordable, but is it really worth $150?

Adventures In Copyright: Clog Boot Edition

I can't seem to remember a shoe that Jeffrey Campbell hasn't copied from another designer. So, it should come as no surprise that Mr. Campbell is today's culprit in our Adventures In Copyright series. The designer's Lief Clog boot has a striking resemblance to Swedish Hasbeens' High Heeled Jodhpur boot. Both boots are made of leather, both have a buckle, and both have their seams in exactly the same places. The only noticeable difference? Jeffrey Campbell's is $178 and Swedish Hasbeens' is about $400. Oh, and the fact that Swedish Hasbeens has been making clogs, and only clogs, since 2006. They may know just a little bit more about the Clog Boot than Jeffrey Campbell.
