Why is Paris Hilton on the Cover of January's Vanity Fair Spain?: No, really, why? The socialite is decked out in all gold everything, clutching a Pomeranian who is hanging his adorable head in shame. {Racked} Lucky.com Gets Menswear Writers to Mock Lady Style Bloggers Poses: In an homage to the female fashion bloggers out there, Lucky.com got menswear editors to compete in a pose-off, mimicking the standard posing fare of big name bloggers. The result is hilarious. We don't know what it is about bearded men's attempts at ferocity that makes us chuckle. {Lucky} Karlie Kloss in Vogue Japan: The top model is featured in a spread for yet another international issue of the magazine, this time wearing more articles of clothing. {Fashionising} Tracy Reese Designs Tote Bags for Cancer: The designer has teamed up with Fashion Fights Cancer to create a set of limited edition printed tote bags, which will sell for $40 each. 100% of the proceeds will go to FFC. {WWD subscription required}

At the Mulberry party on Soho House's roof, Florence and the Machine played an acoustic set (her voice, a guitar and a harp) for about 200 lucky onlookers, most of whom (all but about 50 of us) were idiot fashion fools talking throughout the set. They played six songs, ending with Dog Days, and calling designer Emma Hill on stage twice to thank her. Kelly Osborne and Alexa Chung celebullied their way to the front of the intimate show. All in all, great show, potentially ruined by loud celebutards, and their wispy accouterments. Click through for more photos from last night's fete.
Willow, an Australian women's clothing label, has remained pretty much under the radar since its beginning, at least in the U.S. Kit Willow's designs are sharp and feminine. We feel like the clothes are more than appealing enough to be successful in the U.S., and the brand's relative obscurity here is a bit puzzling to us. It does seem that difficulty breaking into the American market plagues a lot of Australia and New Zealand-based brands, which may be partly due to distance and difference in seasons. Karen Walker, for example, makes amazing clothes and even shows at New York Fashion Week--as does Willow--but is nearly impossible to find in the U.S., despite having multiple boutiques and a line for Topshop in New Zealand. Willow has three boutiques in Australia--one of her dresses even covered Australian Vogue in March.
