Like when Kanye West wore a custom Tory Burch tuxedo.
The designer celebrated his new line — and worked the store's cash wrap, too.
And a star-studded front row.
Photographer Tyler Shields is no stranger to controversy: Remember when he destroyed a $100,000 Hermes Birkin bag and everyone got really pissed? Or that time he shot Heather Morris playing a glee-ful (pardon the pun) victim of domestic abuse and everyone got really pissed? And how about the Mischa Barton/raw meat photo shoot that got everyone PETA really pissed? Well, you get the idea. We caught up with him last night. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tyler Shields.
Kim Kardashian admits her ill-fitting yellow jacket was a major fashion faux pas--but let's get real, there's no way color-hating Kanye even approved of that disastah in the first place. {HuffPo} Looks like Brad Pitt didn't have to spend much extra time in the studio for his second Chanel No.5 commercial! {YouTube} Proenza Schouler's new Halloweeny .gif is a real skull scratcher. {PhotoBucket}

We’ve already covered the most unforgettable prom dresses on the big screen, but honestly, sometimes it’s those formative high school moments on the s
Kim Kardashian Gets a Little Messy: This is definitely not the kind of flower flour girls like receiving. After spending probably three hours in hair and makeup, poor Kimmy K was flour-bombed (think pie-d before the ingredients are mixed) by some disgruntled onlooker at her fragrance release event. Turns out that suspected culprit PETA was in fact not responsible for this half-baked (hehe) sabotage-- but a rep made sure to tell TMZ that they were pretty pleased just the same. {Styleite, TMZ} Dov Charney is An 'Innocent' Man: Could 2012 be the year of Dov Charney's comeback? After being on the constant brink of bankruptcy, American Apparel's founder and CEO can say adieu to another legal hurdle. A Brooklyn judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought on by a former employee last year claiming that Charney had used her as a "sex slave." {HuffPo} American Idol Becoming Fashion Forward: Following the announcement that Tommy Hilfiger will be the reality show's new "style advisor," it's been revealed that American Idol will be releasing its new 'Authentic Icon' clothing line at Kohl's in April - also home to AI judge Jennifer Lopez's own clothing range. It seems even Idol alum (and Smash star) Katherine McPhee is getting in on the fash game: She was reportedly seen sprinting to the Conde Nast building to "meet Miss Anna Wintour" on Wednesday-- though we're betting there was nary a mention of 'Kohl's' in that meeting. {NY Mag, NY Post}
Earlier this week Mischa Barton made headlines for the first time in a loooong while, when she posed with a big old pile of raw meat in a shoot for photographer Tyler Shields. Sounds like classy comeback material, right? PETA certainly didn't think so. The animal rights groups issued a statement on TooFab lambasting Shields and Barton for participating in the shoot. "This raw meat stuff is getting old," they said. "And [it] not only hurts and kills cows, it may hurt Mischa, because so much meat is infected with salmonella, E. coli, and campylobacter that licking it is like licking a toilet."
Versace x H&M Continues to Tease Us: Two new pictures of Versace for H&M's ad campaign have surfaced and this time we've got an actual price tag on one of the garments: $199 for a mini dress. {Lucky} Speaking of covetable goods from H&M: Check out new photos of their fall conscious collection. {FabSugar} Rihanna is Naked, Again: This time for Esquire.

It's weird. {Tyler Shields} How's this for a mind fuck: Nicola Formichetti has designed virtual clothes for a three-dimensional avatar, based on Mugler model Rico Genest, for a video game called Eve. Says the designer: "I mean if you could make your own avatar, and if you could dress yourself up, I think people will be buying virtual goods." So now we'll be expected to drop wads of cash on garments that don't actually exist? {Dazed Digital}
Lindsay Lohan's had a rough go of it. No question about it. And after all her legal troubles, drug and alcohol problems and terrible collagen injections, what the girl really needs is a comeback. I mean, hey, Britney did it right? Well, we're happy to report Lindsay is really trying. Case in point: The troubled star has agreed to be the face of young German designer Philipp Plein's new spring 2012 campaign. Don't worry, we hadn't heard of him until now either. Remember, this is the girl who used to star in Miu Miu campaigns, for god's sake. No word yet on how the campaign will be styled, though in a press release Plein assures us, "Lindsay is a beautiful, highly acclaimed actress and model. We will be able to create unique images: Refined and luxurious, but also full of sensuality."
This week's party highlights were for two very different brands, but both drew a similarly fabulous crowd (especially stylish Brits) and memorable music performances. Hayley danced the night away and drank margs with Alexa Chung Monday, while Dhani took in an amazing performance by Karen Elson and chatted with Mischa Barton Tuesday. Read on for deets and pics! On Monday, Mulberry celebrated their 40th birthday in only the way that the quirky-cool English brand could pull off: With an all-out rager atop the Skylight Studios and all of fashion's cool crowd in attendance.
Marissa Cooper? Is that you? Mischa Barton hasn't looked like Marissa Cooper, the OC character that made her famous, in a while. Lately, all we've seen of the actress are unflattering paparazzi shots focusing on Barton's questionable sartorial choices and fluctuating weight. She made headlines when she was placed on '5150' involuntary psychiatric hold last year during the filming of Beautiful Life (which was canceled after two episodes). In 2007 she was arrested on a DUI and charged with possession of marijuana. But as Tatler's January covergirl, Barton looks more like the glamorous small screen starlet we used to know and love. She also opened up to the mag about being placed under psychiatric hold. Apparently a bad reaction after having her wisdom teeth removed is to blame.
