Start your weekend informed with a dispatch on the top fashion news of the moment…
What’s that smell? Le Labo’s Santal 33 has become a ubiquitous perfume for those in and around the fashion realm. Ironically, the brand never set out to make a particularly popular item. via T Magazine

Towel off: Mario Testino reveals that Kate Moss was the inspiration behind the start of his #TowelSeries. Add that to the ridiculously long list of things she’s been a muse for. via Glamour
Sneak shot: Speaking of Ms. Moss, it turns out the iconic model has been harboring a super secretive Instagram (META) account. Apparently she uses it solely for sleuthing purposes, not for perfecting her selfie game. via Harper’s Bazaar
From Oscar to Ann: The new creative director at Ann Taylor has arrived at her gig with an impressive background detail: she used to work under Oscar de la Renta. The result? A refined, elegant range that the late designer would likely be impressed with. via The Cut
