In her wedding chest, every little girl keeps cutouts of their perfect bridal dress. There’s the one that makes the statement “Classy but subtle,” the one that makes you feel like a princess, and then finally, the one that tells the world, “Don’t throw out your gift receipts just yet.”
So when we heard couture nuptial designer Vera Wang was still working on a line of affordable wedding dresses that were based on her gowns worn by Kim Kardashian on her highly-publicized special day, the little girl inside of us got all giddy.

Wow, who knew that Mattel had so much sway over the way young girl’s think? Well, besides the fact that its best-selling Barbie doll sets young girls up for a lifetime of unrealistic beauty standards and causing bulimia, anorexia, and terrible peroxide treatments?
No, the real concern is that the latest Barbie is a “tokidoki doll”- created by Simone Legno, the man also behind a similarly-named Italian/Japanese fashion line – and that she is about to convince your kids that tattoos and trashy, vaguely-racist lifestyles are cool! Time for CBS to take this monstrosity to the streets to warn the parents!” Read More

Kanye West is a usual fixture in the front row at New York Fashion Week, but this September he skipped the whole spectacle, leaving a void that
New York’s Fashion Week wasn’t exactly a picnic for Lindsay Lohan. In a single night she managed to throw cocktails at a cameraman in the Boom Boom Room and a photographer in Electric Room, while also causing a commotion when a woman sitting next to her started bleeding profusely.

Joe Zee is fashion director at Elle, and apparently one of the nicest guys in the business (even if more people recognize him more from The City or Project Runway than his own All On the Line). So it should be no surprise that he’s lavished with gifts wherever he goes…especially during Fashion Week. Though Gucci might have outdone itself with its present to Mr. Zee when they caught sight of him front-row during their Milan event this week. Read More
Three years after the acclaimed biopic Valentino: The Last Emperor was released, the designer has declared that he is considering the possibility of a Broadway show about his life.
“We’re looking at the possibility of taking my story to Broadway, as a musical,” Valentino told Italian newspaper La Republica (via the Telegraph).
The designer told the paper that he was at times uncomfortable with how he was portrayed in the biopic. “I came across as a despot,” he told the paper, admitting that the film received rave reviews nonetheless. Well, with the possibility of a show headed to the Great White Way, Valentino can concoct a whole new singing, dancing image.
