Fashion News Roundup: Models On The Big Screen, Buy H&M Online Today Only, and McQueen: Savage Beauty In London Rumor

Rumor: McQueen: Savage Beauty Going To London? A McQueen spokesperson said there have been tentative talks with some London venues but an official announcement will be made if/when they reach a decision. Though there's no comment from the Met, this sounds like something, if not the exact exhibit, is in the works! {Telegraph} Elle and H&M One-Day-Only E-Commerce: Starting at noon today you can buy four looks from H&M's fall collection on Elle's website. An H&M spokesperson said it's a preview of their full e-commerce launching next spring. Don't worry if it sells out though--the full fall collection hit stores in two days. {WWD} Models In Film: Gemma Ward and Dree Hemingway Cast In Films: Ward was recently cast in the upcoming production of The Great Gatsby (fingers crossed for her as Jordan), and now there are reports that Hemingway will star in the film adaptation of Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You alongside Lucy Liu. The fall cinema lineup is looking good! {Modelinia} Rei Kawakubo Isn't Excited About Fashion Anymore: She told the Wall Street Journal that "there are not enough of us believing in the same thing, that there is a kind of burnout, that people just want cheap fast clothes and are happy to look like everyone else." I somewhat agree. {The Cut} Behind-The-Scenes Of A Vogue Nippon Photo Shoot: Editor Anna Dello Russo posted a great series of photos from a very Dolce and Gabbana-heavy shoot. Sequined pants, anyone? {Anna Dello Russo}

Fashion News Roundup: Preview the Elizabeth Taylor V Spread, See the NYFW Documentary and Vogue's Secret Site

Preview: Carine Roitfeld's Elizabeth Taylor Spread In V's September Issue: A behind-the-scenes video of Roitfeld's homage to the Queen of Diamonds, which she shot with Mario Testino. It looks seriously decadent; I spy some Prada, electric blue eyeshadow and a jeweled tiger statuette. {Stylelist} NY Fashion Week Documentary The Tents Premieres Saturday: It chronicles the birth and progression of what is now Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center, with commentary from a bajillion fashion folk. Showtime is 6pm at the SVA Theatre; tickets are available online here. {Racked} Vogue Has A New Secret Website: According to a tiny blurb in AdWeek, Wintour and cohorts are working on some new hush-hush site to launch in December. The question is, how will it avoid both repeating Vogue.com content and stepping on the toes of fellow Conde site Style.com? {AdWeek via Styleite}

The best answer? His favorite movie is Breakfast At Tiffany's. {CFDA}
