PARIS–My favorite thing about the Viktor & Rolf show, which took place yesterday at 9:30am (anything starting before noon in Paris is rare), is that it started with a boy coming out in his jammies. Of course, it wasn't a boy, it was a model, and they weren't jammies, they were knitted, featureless trousers and a matching top, but it called to mind pajamas, or the phys-ed uniform at a Soviet school, or my friend's fashion project, The Grey Sweatsuit Revolution. And I kind of loved it. (The distance between these trousers and your long-johns is narrow, but that doesn't mean they're not cool). The Dutchmen have taken note of European woes—all is conservative and tight—but the economy is doing just fine, that you very much, so there are notes of playfulness, and celebration too.

| RJ Cutler’s New Show is (Probably) About Teen Vogue Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:00 AM PST
It looks like Lauren Conrad isn’t the only one using The September Issue as inspiration for a new TV show. Amy Astley revealed months ago that Teen Vogue was developing a new television serious, though no other details were spared. However, we recently learned that The September Issue director, R.J. Cutler, is working on a TV show about the fashion industry as well. Now The Cut is reporting that the two projects are connected and that the show is off to a bumpy start. Cutler seems to be having trouble finding industry insiders who are interested and willing to make the commitment. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Yes, you read that right. Snoop Dogg has collaborated with Adidas on a sneaker “inspired by his love of Los Angeles and the LA Lakers.” The rapper recently showed them off during the video shoot for his track “Purp and Yellow,” which is also, it seems, about his love for the Lakers. According to the release, the shoe is “designed in black leather with gold and purple detailing, along with the signature Snoop Dog eyes adorning the tongue of the shoe. Snoop's signature eyes were inspired from his Doggystyle album cover art circa 1993.” The kicks, called the “Adidas Originals x Snoop Dogg for All-Star Weekend” launches February 11 and will retail for $90.

| What To Major In To Break Into the Fashion Industry Posted: 20 Jan 2011 02:10 PM PST
After we released our list of the world’s best fashion schools, we received a slew of emails from readers asking what they should actually study. Fashion journalism? Fashion marketing? Art history? Textile design? Fashion design? As far as majors go, whatever you decide to study obviously depends upon which part of the industry you’re most interested. We’ve put together some college major guidelines. Obviously, rules are made to be broken, so use this as a starting point. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Mother of Deceased Anorexic Model Isabelle Caro Commits Suicide Posted: 20 Jan 2011 01:41 PM PST
Less than a month after word broke that anorexic French model Isabelle Caro had died, comes the tragic news that her mother has committed suicide. Isabelle’s mother Marie reportedly felt “enormous guilt” following the death of her daughter, and took her own life earlier this month, according to the New York Daily News citing Swiss newspaper 20 Minutes. Isabelle’s father Christian Caro told the Swiss paper that his wife “felt guilty for having put my daughter in the Bichat Hospital.” It was there, Christian claims, that doctors wanted to run tests on his daughter and put Isabelle to sleep so she would be less “disturbed.” “She died because they disconnected her from the machines,” he said. Christian Caro has since filed a legal complaint against the hospital. Isabelle Caro, known for posing nude in a shocking anti-anorexia campaign that ran during Milan Fashion Week in 2007, was vocal about her years-long struggle with the eating disorder which eventually claimed her life at age 28 (though there is no official known cause of death).

| Get Free Beauty Products for Gossiping Posted: 20 Jan 2011 12:10 PM PST
Imagine earning points just for wasting time online–points that actually translate into products. A new social networking website, Is That Odd, launched today and it's doing just that. Is That Odd is meant to be a gabby, gossipy social networking site–sort of like Oprah. But online. You can post something called an "Oddstract" and it gets categorized into topics like living, style, products, kids, and relationships. Based on the posts up right now, it seems to skew toward the mommy crowd. Every time you post an "Oddstract" or comment on someone else's post, you earn Odd Coins. When you save enough of this imaginary currency you can use it towards "purchasing" samples of beauty products. As of now, the participating beauty brands are Skyn Iceland, Barista Bath and Body, Beautisol, France Luxe, and Helix BioMedix. More will be added as site membership grows.

Paris–When the lights dimmed on the second floor of the Garage de Turenne yesterday evening in Paris, a male figure emerged on the video wide screen completely covered in a deep blue shining rubber materials. He began to scratch and peel the rubber off of his skin, first from the lower body then towards his face, a moment that signaled the start of the debut Mugler show under the creative direction of Nicola Formichetti. "It's going to be genius!" "Fabulous" "So talented" were some of the pre-show chatters I heard around the area where I was seating. "On va voir," (We shall see) was Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele's response when I asked her if she thinks this new Mugler can be revived at this moment. Then a model emerged onto the raised platform in front of the screen wearing a black suit with a high elbow rubber gloves. Thus began a collection with the title–Anatomy of Change: Mode Sans Frontières. (Borrowed from the organization Médecins sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders.) What followed was the intersection of an homage to past Mugler style and an effort to update that familiar look with materials like rubber, neoprene, stretch nylon, and reflective pieces. Was it, as the program notes stated, "saying something about how fashion exists now"? Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Mrs. O Stuns in McQueen at State Dinner; A Look Back At Her 10 Best Black Tie Looks Posted: 20 Jan 2011 11:14 AM PST
Kate Middleton take note: this is how it’s done. Michelle Obama reminded everyone last night that when it comes to first lady style, she reigns supreme. At the Obama administration’s third official state dinner last night to receive President Hu Jintao of China, Mrs. O wore a dramatic red silk and black petal-printed Alexander McQueen dress from Sarah Burton‘s 2011 resort collection. Of course, it wasn’t the exact same dress from McQueen resort–the original dress had puffy sleeves and the one Mrs. O wore was sleeveless to show off her famous guns. While some speculated that the First Lady might wear a Chinese or Chinese American designer to the dinner–she wore a dress by Indian-American designer Naeem Khan to the state dinner hosting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh–it seems likely some consideration was given to the bold color choice given the significance of red to Chinese culture. In her first piece for the Daily Beast, former Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan read meaning into the how the dress speaks to changes in the fashion industry and the industry’s future in China:
Symbolism and industry insights aside, it was simply a fantastic look–one of many stunning black tie ensembles the First Lady has worn over the past few years. While the buzz over Mrs. O’s togs is not at the fever pitch it was when the Obama’s took office, last night’s McQueen had us reminiscing about some of her best sartorial moments. So we asked Mary Tomer, the founder and editor of Mrs.O, the site the documents and identifies what the First Lady wears in meticulous detail, for her top ten Michelle Obama black tie looks.

| Thierry Mugler Men’s Spring 2011: Formichetti Updates Mugler’s Aliens Posted: 20 Jan 2011 10:26 AM PST
PARIS–No need to tell you Nicola Formichetti presented his first show as creative director for Mugler last night–as it was one of the most awaited events of men's fashion week. Try to picture a group of children waiting for a magician show to start, practically falling off their chairs with excitement. Minutes before the show, that's what the atmosphere felt like: borderline hysteria and fits of giggles rose from the crowd. It kicked off with a black and white, highly contrasted video of a man-thing emerging out of melted lead. Or plastic. Or dodgy water. The military sci-fi ambiance, complete with pumping beats, introduced the mood for the boys to come marching. The first thing that popped to mind was “how very Mugler”: slicked back hair, rubber gloves (a nudge at medical/kitchen wear and women's evening dress) and plastic elements melting into structured, elongated pieces. Yet it was also distinctly Formichetti-esque: neo-goth, a touch of street, somber yet tongue in cheek. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
