  Lauren Davis is set to star in the new Lord and Taylor campaign for fall. The American fashion icon is a germane choice for the reputable NY retailer. Side note: Finally, Lauren Davis pictures outwith the cropped, pixelated Style.com photo gallery. I'm excited. Beth Ditto is in talks to do a range for New Look a la Lily Allen. I get Chris Kane's argument - the whole she's vibrant-loud-unconventional-yadda-yadda-yadda - but aren't such adjectives more apt for a comedian than a fashion icon? After all, a fashion icon is as partial to the deaf and mute as being a mime. ...

  Here is Selma Blair's new shot for the Fall 2007 Gap ad campaign, shot by Queen Irritator herself, Annie Leibovitz. It's a great shot and - more importantly - a solid step forward following their hit designer white shirt campaign. Reinvented classics is a strong platform. God knows we all have enough plain blue shirts and khakis. Alber Elbaz has designed a line of dolls clad in Lanvin creations that will be priced at $345 each and sold in Lanvin boutiques. I don't know what to make of this. On one hand, Elbaz is the man who brought unabashed, grown ...

  The CFDA just announced their ten finalists for the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund. In other words, a diplomatic way to give coverage to 9 other designers while we wait for Mr. Lim (left) to pick up the award later in the year. Although really, do we actually think Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders has a chance in hell? There will be a Marie Antoinette perfume that retails for $900. $900 - do you get a slice of Sofia and a side of Kiki with that? Clive Christian is reworking his pricing strategy as we speak.The New York Spring/Summer ...

  Maybelline model Josie Maran is set to launch her own cosmetics line that will be both organic and environmentally-friendly. Which "Guess the Bandwagon1" game do you want to play first?Jessica Simpson showed her first swimwear collection on a runway (yes, I know) in Miami this past week. It looked more like a promo video for Girls Gone Wild than a runway show, but what is Miss Simpson without a heaping of T and a serving of A? Watch at own risk.

  Hedi Slimane, along with Jeff Koons and Dieter Ram ,will be the three guest editors of Wallpaper's October issue. I expect lots of black, sleek lines, and an exponential rise in manoriexia pre- and post- publication. Here is the first shot of Miss Hilary Rhoda's Estee Lauder campaign; some sneer Brooke Shields, others argue Bee Schaffer. In either case, let's applaud a girl that can elevate All American from it's recent Abercrombie pedigree. The only reason to not ignore the Simpsons has finally arrived. Check out the slimmed down Marc. And why is it that Alber Elbaz remains more ...
