| Rumor Mill: Style.com is Developing a Reality Series Posted: 28 Sep 2010 07:00 AM PDT
Unlike The City–the MTV reality series starring Whitney Port–Style.com is promising potential cast members that they’ll actually work/write for the online fashion site. (In case you’ve been living under a rock without a cable box, Elle magazine “employee” Olivia Palermo doesn’t actually work at the magazine, despite the fact that she’s billed as an “online editor” on The City.) Whether or not this show will actually get produced, we can’t say. Television is nutty when it comes to pilots and such. A friend who works in the industry explains that “usually, a show gets the go ahead to make a pilot. The pilot is the test episode, and if it does well or is well-received in-house, it gets the go ahead to get made into more episodes (min: 6). Some go straight to series, based on 10 minute ‘treatments.’” Regardless, we think this is a smart move on Style.com’s part. With the arrival of a new Vogue.com–and other Conde Nast titles like W and Glamour beefing up their online presence–it’s important for Style to reach more readers. And fast. Elle‘s participation in Project Runway, and now The City, has helped the glossy to reach over 1 million unique users in August 2010. Style.com has roughly a third of the audience of Elle.com. Whether or not Derek Blasberg, Style.com’s most socially visible contributor, will be starring on the show is unclear. We’re told that they’re hiring a party reporter….

| Mad Men Style Recap, Episode 10 Posted: 27 Sep 2010 02:24 PM PDT
Unlike Mad Men episodes of the past three seasons, season four wastes no time making messes and cleaning them up. Whereas Lane’s relationship and Don’s identity scandal would have taken up an entire season, all is contained in one jarring and sloppy episode. Only fifteen seconds in, we find out Joan is pregnant with Roger’s child, and that she plans to abort it. Jaws were heard hitting the floor all over the eastern seaboard at this moment. It started off so glamorous, too: Joan sashaying into Roger’s office in a lovely ivory, chocolate, and apple colored printed blouse, her Alexis Bittar looking gold ball earrings setting off her red lipstick. Roger, as always, looks perfect in another one of his three piece suits, this time in a dark gray, and his chunky, black, plastic framed glasses. But of course, nothing stays glamorous for long. Roger and Joan, the golden couple whose relationship has been the holy grail of Mad Men, something fans desired frantically, but could never attain, evaded success yet again. Joan heads to the doctor in western New Jersey alone, in a matronly blue suit, only to be confronted by a mother, played by Susan May Pratt in a stunning beige dress with ivory polka-dots, who has just taken her young daughter for a “procedure.” Joan lies about having a daughter undergoing a similar procedure. Why? Because she is seen as too old to be having such issues herself, even by Roger’s doctor who berates them furiously. Ultimately, however, Joan’s lies start to become transparent. Joan assures Roger that they’ve “dodged a real bullet,” while wearing her shocking pink dress with light pink trim from an earlier episode; perhaps the pink is a nod to a baby? But her conversation with Roger at the end of the episode seems to be made of lies–something was unbelievable, untrustworthy. She never says definitively that she had an abortion, so all of us Joan and Roger fanatics have something to hold out for. On the weirder side of the lies and secrets spectrum lies Lane’s American affair with a Playboy bunny. Lane’s role on Mad Men is so unstable and undefinable; he is absent from multiple episodes only to return with a bumbling affair and multiple foolish missteps, making the viewers almost not care anymore about Lane’s fate. Does he matter? Is he a serious character? A serious man? At this point he just seems like a fool. Startled by his father’s arrival without his son, Lane idiotically brings his father to the Playboy Club and attempts to show off his attractive lady friend, only to have her push him away. Even Don feels uncomfortable in the situation, which is a lot coming from a man who has payed for sex in the past. At least she looks sexy and stunning in a sky blue bunny ensemble and an adorable hair flip. Lane sports another one of his brilliantly mixed and matched ensembles, this time a dark gray suit, tan vest, and burgundy tie, countering his father’s brown suit and red tie. Lane tries and fails again to prove that his love with his bunny, Toni, is real enough to keep him in America, this time by arranging a private dinner with his father. First, he sneaks into the Playboy Club to proclaim his love to Toni, while she looks darling in a yellow summer dress. She’s accepting of his love, but reprimands his behavior. At the arranged dinner Toni is aware of the situation’s awkwardness and tries her best to avoid creating tension by acting purely proper in a coral pink dress and pearls, but Lane is determined to use her to make a point. Kissing her as she leaves, Lane ultimately gets smacked in the head with a cane by his tweed wearing father, and is left on the floor, stepped on by his black leather shoe. The truly cataclysmic issue that rocked SCDP this week was Don’s identity. His nonchalant signing of government papers that asked for a high level security clearance from the Department of Defense, led to an intensive background check of “Donald Draper.” We watch Don’s ecstasy over Beatles tickets for him and Sally (which develops in a strange scene where Don calls an eyelet wearing Betty “sweetie” and Sally wears the children’s version of the Team Zissou uniform) develop into anxiety as Megan–in a mod, Pierre Cardin looking minidress–reveals that she filed the paperwork for the clearance without giving Don any special notice. She is overly apologetic for a mistake that is not hers at all, and strangely submissive in the more feminist-friendly SCDP offices of 1965. (Not to say that it’s equal, just that it’s better that seasons 1-3) Don panics because, for once, he’s gotten himself into a lie he can’t sweet talk his way out of. The government agents that arrive at Betty’s house startle her, in a yellow eyelet summer dress and headband. As a result of the government’s investigation, Don becomes physically sick and rips off his black suit, white shirt, and blue faded stripe tie in a Superman moment, with less than super results: vomiting in the bathroom. Faye tries to help Don recover, looking holy and nurse-ish in a white suit with a brown and white criss-cross print top. Ball earrings are making a comeback in this episode, with Faye wearing a silver pair with her all white ensemble. Instead of being increasingly private, however, Don tells Faye about his identity swap, which leaves an eerie feeling looming over the rest of season four, with Faye’s mob ties and all. All the lies come together in the partner’s meeting that happens at this episode’s close. Don, wearing a dark gray suit and black thin tie is confident and silent while Roger in a gray three piece with blue tie berates Pete in black with another one of his anorexic brown, black, white striped ties. Pete covers for Don, while Roger flat out lies about Lucky Strike saying all is well, when they only have 30 days to convince the board to keep SCDP. Lane covers up his personal problems with a stoic gray three piece suit (no mix and matching here), and by saying he’s taking a leave to return to London. With clients leaving SCDP left and right, and Don’s identity likely to make a comeback, the agency is turning into Cooper Cosgrove Harris before our eyes. Finally, not to be forgotten, is my favorite character, Trudy Campbell, whose frilly cotton-candy maternity ensemble is cute, ridiculous, balloon-like, and sugary sweet. Mad Men should really consider producing some of Trudy’s looks as Halloween costumes, which would easily rival those of Simon Doonan in the hearts of fashion lovers everywhere.

The first looks out were bright tartans that seemed to reflect on Kane’s Scottish heritage, though they were all prints drawn from the Versus archives. Then he infused the tartans with tight neon floral prints that crossed over the bust on knee-length, form fitting, ruched dresses and inserted them into the pleats of kilts. Gradually the prints gave way to bold rainbow bright color blocked dresses. That’s my take. Here’s Kane’s: “For this Versus SS11 collection I played with combining floral, tartan stripe prints from the Versus archive, to achieve twisted and drape mesh dresses. The colour palette is very bright and optimistic (yellow, green, purple, orange, red and blue). I have worked printed mesh into longer, leaner dresses, and knitwear for a more casual sporty/grungy approach. The core of the collection is multi drape stretch mesh dresses using layers of printed mesh. Short comes in multicoloured pop dresses. Shoes and bags feature print and brogue details.” Click through for more looks.

| Heidi Mount’s Husband Accused of Rape at LFW Posted: 27 Sep 2010 11:00 AM PDT
According to UK newspaper The Daily Mail, the attack happened on September 20 around 1:30 am. The next day, Mount was arrested and interviewed by a central London police station. He was later bailed out but ordered to return on November 10. “He has not been charged and we are still investigating.” says a Scotland Yard spokesman. While Mount, who has styled hair for Ralph Lauren campaigns as well as Vogue editorials, denies the allegations, crime experts and investigators have spent days examining the room where the attack happened as well as taking in items, such as bed linens, in for further investigation. As for the alleged victim, she has been interviewed by specialist sex crimes detectives from the Sapphire unit and has been referred to a victim support centre.

| Fashion News Roundup: Lauren Conrad Returns, The Death of SATC, & A Lone Bedbug At Bloomies Posted: 27 Sep 2010 09:21 AM PDT
Bloomingdale’s Finds a Bedbug: Bloomingdale’s released a statement on Friday admitting that they found one bedbug in its flagship store. Yes, just one bedbug. According to the release, they’ve taken care of the bedbug and will not be closing the store. While experts said the chances of finding only one bedbug is rare, they also said that the lone bedbug could’ve fallen off of someone’s clothes. {The Cut} Lauren Conrad is Back: Lauren Conrad has just signed a deal with MTV in which she will star in her own show. The new show will follow her on her many business ventures including the development of her new contemporary line. {Racked} Chris Noth On The Death Of SATC: Chris Noth thinks Sex and The City could’ve had a less tragic death. According to Noth, not only is the franchise dead, but the media is responsible for killing it. “The press killed it. Your [New York Magazine] magazine f***ing killed it. It's like all the critics got together and said, 'This franchise must die.' Because they all had the exact same review. It's like they didn't see the movie. Got any more gum?" {Fashion Indie} Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell At Odds: Last week, Naomi and Dolce & Gabbana threw a party to celebrate Campbell’s 25 years in the modeling industry. Noticeably absent from the party was Kate Moss. The model was down the street at the Longchamp party. According to an insider, Naomi is upset at Kate for being rude to some guests at a charity function Naomi threw earlier this year. {Daily Mail}

We’ve heard through the grapevine from trusted sources that 
MILAN–Ferragamo’s Spring 2011 show opened to the sounds of waves lapping, I imagine, against a very fancy yacht. Designer Massimiliano Giornetti’s collection was, according to the line sheet, “snapshots of a perennial summer, living by lazy rhythms, in boats and rarefied society gatherings.” To protect their hair against the sea breeze, models wore Gypsy-like silk kerchiefs, and to keep warm, decadent suede jackets over crocheted bikinis in beachy neutrals. On a bohemian bent, Giorentti sent down long peasant skirts with cropped tops. For a cover up, fluid shimmering full-skirted sheer dresses that could double as evening wear (with the right undergarments, of course).
To quote the unofficial spokesman of New York, Jay-Z, everyone on 
MILAN–It was clear 
Nearly-bare legs are a must for spring 2010.
Shawn Mount, hairstylist and husband of famed supermodel 
Name: Carolyn Geh
Due to launch in late 2010, 
MILAN–Even though Emporio Armani‘s Spring/Summer 2011 collection was dedicated to the “fancy girl” and a (butchered) version of Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side,” opened the show, Emporio Armani was anything but wild and fancy. The collection was chic work wear: Pewter and titanium shift dresses that were belted, structured skirts paired with cropped tailored blazers, and tiered chiffon dresses and tops that recalled the underside of jellyfish. The stand-out feature of the collection was a stretch tulle knee-length skirt seen under just about every skirted look in shades of gray. It added interest and edge to the otherwise sensibly chic collection.
And when you’ve left the office and are ready to play along the beaches of Ibiza or dance the night away in an Italian discoteca, Just Cavalli has you covered. Cavalli did the Canadian tuxedo one better by offering denim on denim on denim in the way of of embellished belled jeans, acid wash button down tops, and floppy denim hats. Denim looks were followed by colorfully loud silk print tops and dresses. And it wouldn’t be a Cavalli show with out animal prints–leopard, reptile, you name it–on button-down silk blouses, floor-length peasant skirts, and late ’60s-ish hippie dresses.
Designer Catherine Walker Passes Away: Catherine Walker, the designer best known for dressing Princess Diana, has died after a long battle with breast cancer. Walker designed over 1,000 dresses for Princess Diana including the black dress she was buried in. {
