Stockholm-based fashion house Acne knows it has more than just a cult following Stateside. With its nifty spin on classics, Acne’s design team–led by creative director Jonny Johansson–has helped to define the modernist’s dress code. So it’s no surprise that the label is teaming up with Want Agency–a New York-based fashion distributor and showroom–to expand its US business.

Sasha Charnin Morrison has spent the last 25 years working in fashion, most of them as a stylist (she's styled everyone from Jennifer Lopez to the Real Housewives of New Jersey and is currently the fashion director at US Weekly). It's a profession that today needs no explaining, but back when Charnin Morrison got her start styling, there wasn't even a name for what she did. Thanks to Phillip Bloch and especially to Rachel Zoe and Bravo, everyone knows what a stylist does and it seems like everyone wants to be one. But how? Enter Charnin Morrison's new book, Secrets of Stylist: An Insider's Guide to Styling the Stars ($24.95, Chronicle Books), which is essentially the first how-to book on being a stylist. "I realized there was nothing out there," Charnin Morrison says explaining the impetus to write the book.

Here are our picks for the must-have items (most new, some tried-and-true) that should find a place in your tote before you hit the sun and sand. (Need a tote?

| Last Night’s Party: Mike Mills Talks Neanderthals at Opening Ceremony Posted: 26 May 2011 02:58 PM PDT
With possibilities of a stateside spotting of Parisian chic, we hopped down to last night's signing at Opening Ceremony for illustrator/director Mike Mills' new title, Drawings from the Film Beginners. Luckily we weren't disappointed as the inimitable Melanie Laurent loyally held court beside her Beginners director, clad in mom jean overalls and a straw fedora–somehow she made this work…beyond work. Mills, a longtime visual artist and Cooper Hewitt alum, wrote the script for Beginners à la Sylvia Plath (ie: loosely based on his life). Although luckily his roman à clef is much less depressing. Inspired by his father's late-in-life decision to expose his homosexuality, Mills is cinematically portrayed by Ewan McGregor, an artist who juggles a new love (played by Laurent) and his dad's brave decision. The resulting book—Drawings from the Film Beginners–is not so much a story as it is a collection of drawings from the movie, depicting “The History of Sadness” and “The History of Love.” We briefly interrupted Mills' autographing duties to speak about his new book and love for Neanderthals: Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Gwen Stefani, Not Michael Angel, Designed Her amfAR Dress…Kind Of Posted: 26 May 2011 02:31 PM PDT
The black lace gown Gwen Stefani wore to the Cannes amfAR gala sparked quite a controversy earlier this week, when a “rep” for designer Michael Angel started a rumor that he, rather than the L.A.M.B. designer, deserved credit. A statement given to The Cut by Angel’s alleged rep said that Stefani was discrediting Angel, who both helped her with the design and worked as a stylist. The information turned out misconstrued. Angel told FashionEtc. that the now-former employee spoke “without having full knowledge of the collaboration” and that Stefani designed the dress herself for the gala’s auction. (The dress sold for $125,000.) He was fairly upset about the rumor, saying, “I’m disappointed that the focus has shifted away from what Gwen and I originally intended, which was to create a custom outfit for a great cause. We both were thrilled with the outcome and enjoyed the process.” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Maybe there’s hope for the Garment Center after all. According to a recent survey conducted by American Express, 65% of affluent Americans said that they try to buy Made in the USA products whenever possible. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Perhaps it could have been labeled a coincidence if it was one accidental necklace or placement of fringe, but this array of items includes pants, tops, and bags. Seems a little fishy. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Models Without Makeup? Just as Gorgeous (Obvi) Posted: 26 May 2011 12:10 PM PDT
It would be nice to say that models outshine us mere mortals due to retouching and professionally done makeup and hair, but sometimes they really are just…beautiful. Photographer Scott Trindle shot a handful of supermodels in the raw for an exhibition for the launch of London’s new Viva Modeling Agency and it must be said: the black and white images are stunning. “It doesn’t scare me that the images aren’t retouched, it adds another layer of interest and intrigue,” Trindle said in an interview with Vogue UK. “So much can be adapted in post, and so I suppose the main benefit is its purity.” Trindle snapped the models–who include Raquel Zimmermann, Imogen Newton, Edie Campbell and Natalia Vodianova–over the course of a year and eschewed big studio lighting for the soft interior of his Dalston flat. The images are quietly revealing, giving the viewer a sense of the real girl underneath the supermodel name. The simple, open-faced beauty is something rarely seen in this industry, and comes as a refreshing dose of what makes a model such an icon in the first place. Click through to see our favorites.

| Watch: Lindsay Lohan Watching Herself (It’s Art, OK?) Posted: 26 May 2011 11:40 AM PDT The New York Times is heralding Lindsay Lohan as the new “art star.” She’s the subject of a new art film by painter Richard Phillips appropriately entitled, “Lindsay Lohan.” It’s the painter’s first film. So why did he choose Lindsay? The film is one of 80 that comprise “Commericial Break,” an exhibit presented by former POP EIC Dasha Zhukova, that will open at the 54th Venice Beinnale next week.

Continuing our series highlighting exceptional drugstore beauty brands, we would like to present Organic Surge. Never heard of it? You soon will. Organic and "natural" brands that look good, smell good, work well, and are cheap are still a bit of a rarity. Enter Organic Surge, a brand that was born in the UK in 2004. It just launched in the US in 2010, and is currently available at CVS.com and drugstore.com. If all goes well, you should see the brand in brick-and-mortar stores soon. So first, let's explore the "organic" in the name. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Andrej Pejic Speaks Out About His Dossier Cover Controversy: “I think the question really isn't the gender of the person on the cover, it's whether it's porn or it's art. And clearly, it's art, so art really should not be censored in a democratic society…But, you know, I have just been named the 98th sexiest woman in the world, so it makes the situation a little bit confusing for them.” {The Cut} Adding Up Oprah’s Favorite Things: Tracie Egan Morrissey had the genius idea to tally up the total cost of Oprah’s Favorite Things, the prizes she gives away during her holiday bonanza. The price tag? A whopping $23.8 million. {Jezebel} Prada Is Worth $15 Billion: The company had record sales in 2010 with a 150.4% surge in profits, and have totaled up its estimated worth in preparation for their stock exchange debut–they will make the list in Hong Kong on June 17, followed by London, Milan, and New York. {WWD subscription required} Beef Jerky Chanel: Someone made a Chanel 2.55 out of beef jerky and it actually looks really good. {Racked} Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Shoe Porn: Get Up Close and Personal With Miu Miu’s Fall Shoes Posted: 26 May 2011 08:21 AM PDT
Warning: this gallery is NSFW. That’s not safe for your wallet. That was bad, I know, but seriously, the shoes from Miu Miu’s fall collection were so crazy good that now that the label has released their fall accessories look book, we felt they deserved their own spotlight. These are some fantasy high fashion barbie kicks and even Lauren, who is averse to all thinks glittery, was swayed by how “insanely awesome” they are.

Charnin Morrison culls from her 25 years of experience–which means tons of interviews with her friends who are top stylists to A-list stars–to give aspiring stylists the low down on what actually goes into the job that appears deceptively glamorous. Just how un-glamorous does it get? We talked to Charnin Morrison to find out.
