Hollister, whose stores are a place for teens to hang out in dark corners and shout at each other over very loud music -- oh, and to buy clothes, presumably -- is changing its business model in a major way.

We haven't tried David Beckham's new fragrance yet, but if it brings us even a fraction of the joy we feel seeing him shirtless in the advertisement... we'll take it. {Daily Mail} Karl Lagerfeld says he'll do "anything" for Cate Blanchett--including designing her last minute costumes for her new Woody Allen-directed film. {Grazia} Caroline Kennedy has been nominated to be the first female U.S. ambassador to Japan, and as such is now poised to become a style influencer. Start preparing for some serious sartorial competition, Mrs. Obama. {WWD} Apparently the town crier who announced shouted the news of the birth of HRH Prince George had absolutely no royal affiliation, apart from just being obsessed with the royals. Hey, we love them too, but we don't take it that far. {Daily Mail}

MIAMI--Last night, part-time Miami resident Bruce Weber hosted a signing for his new book, All-American Volume Twelve: A Book of Lessons amidst of Art Basel-mania at The Standard. While party guests including Chelsea Handler--who attended with her beau, hotelier Andre Balazs--Riccardo Tisci and Anouck Lepere sipped tequila in the Standard's waterfront garden, we caught up with Weber for some questions about the inspiration behind All-American, working with Grace Coddington, and whether we can expect a gay kiss in an Abercrombie ad anytime soon.

Saint Laurent Paris Does The Timewarp: On Wednesday, we reported that Yves Saint Laurent might be dropping the "Yves" as a means of rebranding the label under the direction of Hedi Slimane, and the very next day the storied fashion house confirmed, sending countless tweeters, bloggers and writers into a tizzy. We, on the other hand, started to think about what would happen if other design houses were to do the same. Kate Upton's Busy, Busy Week: The busty blonde graced the cover of GQ (which coincidentally channeled Azealia Banks in her latest music video for "Jumanji"), spoke onscreen about her love of America (and large breasts) and even taught Jimmy Fallon how to Cat Daddy. How'd she do it all? With some seriously genius self-marketing skills. Asian Beauty Products That Might Just Save Your Skin: Okay, so maybe they won't save your skin, but they're certainly bizarre and intriguing enough to warrant a test-run. From charcoal shampoo to a chin contour mask to collagen-boosting marshmallows, we're curious to see what will be first to hit the shelves of Sephora first (or, alternatively, be banned by the FDA). Model-Turned-Actress, Everybody's Doing It: Models are good looking people, and so are actresses. Actresses appear on magazine covers, and so do models. So it makes sense that models might whet their palates and give acting a try, right? Right. We rounded up the many, many models who have transitioned from runway to silver screen and analyzed how seamlessly and successfully they made the jump.
