While we're sure it will eventually fall victim to a remake, here's 17 ways the film would be different if it was made today. {Buzzfeed} Kate Moss designed an outfit for jockey Rosemary Ferguson, and it's a little bit Ziggy Stardust and a lot of hot pink. {Grazia UK} Another day, another Karlie kover: this time, she sports YSL for the September issue of Vogue Japan. {Design Scene}

As you may have heard, Japan's Fashion's Night Out took place on Saturday and, thanks to a big push from Anna Wintour, was one of the biggest ever produced. 400 retailers participated, as did the top editors from all of the Vogues internationally. Designers like Michael Kors, Burberry’s Christopher Bailey, Roberto Cavalli, Derek Lam, Thom Browne, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim came out to show their support as well. Despite the many recognizable fashion faces in Tokyo this weekend, Wintour was the one who "ascended to rock star status," according to WWD (of course she's 'big in Japan'). Apparently, shoppers were following her, yelling her name and constantly snapping photos. But the Conde team wasn't just there for photo ops. They were there to support Japan in reinvigorating their retail business post-earthquake and take in Japanese fashion.
