<a target="_blank" href="keds.com">Keds</a> are getting a sparkly chic update thanks to <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/03/alice-olivia-launches-online-boutique-let-the-shopping-begin/" target="_blank">Alice + Olivia</a>. <br />
<br />
The all-American sneaker brand is teaming up with <a href="http://www.aliceandolivia.com/#/welcome-home" target="_blank">Alice + Olivia</a> designer Stacey Bendet to create a limited edition collection of its classic Champion style. <br />
<br />
"I don't think I removed Keds from my feet as a kid. I can even count how many pairs I had." said Bendet. "We decided to do a collaboration that would bring a little Alice + Olivia fun to the 2010 Keds Champion, with what else but fun colored <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/28/how-to-wear-sequin/" target="_blank">sequins</a>." <br />
<br />
The slip-on shoe will be available in four sequin-adorned colors: black, silver, pale pink and safari green. <br />
<br />
"As a brand, we look to partner with artists and designers that can bring their own unique vision and creativity to the iconic Champion silhouette," said Kristin Kohler Burrows, president of Keds.<br />
<br />
The kicks will retail for $88 and are launching in the spring exclusively at <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com" target="_blank">Neiman Marcus</a>, followed by Alice + Olivia stores and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.aliceandolivia.com/#/welcome-home">Website</a> as well as select retailers worldwide.<br />

Move over <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/15/bar-refaeli-faces-boycott-over-israeli-army-drama/">Bar Refaeli</a>, there's a new bikini babe fronting the <a target="_blank" href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009_swimsuit/">Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition</a>. <br />
<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/Brooklynddecker">Brooklyn Decker</a> is the magazine's 2010 cover girl.<br />
<br />
The identity of the model was revealed on the "<a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/14/kiefer-sutherland-wears-a-dress-on-late-show-with-david-letterm/">Late Show with David Letterman</a>" tonight (Feb. 8) and officially announced that <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/12/brooklyn-decker-aspca-volunteer/">Andy Roddick's better half</a> will be passed the bikini, er baton, from 2009 swim star <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/07/23/bar-refaeli-replaces-gisele-bundchen-as-the-new-face-of-rampage/">Refaeli</a>.<br />
<br />
Aside from cheering on her tennis star hubby courtside, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.popeater.com/2009/08/20/supermodel-brooklyn-decker-oh-my/">Decker</a> has been jet-setting about to be photographed for the highly anticipated issue. We got a behind-the-scenes peek at one such location shoot from these <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/08/14/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-edition-photos-leaked-on-twitter/">twitpics</a> posted last August.<br />
<br />
Now, there's an image, <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/mj_day">tweeted</a> by an SI editor, of the Ohio blonde looking well-equipped to take on the sexy status (see above).<br />
<br />
As for Roddick, he played the supportive man all the way. "So happy/proud of my wife... the new cover for sports illustrated swimsuit issue!!!! unreal... so excited!!!!!!!!!!" the tennis player <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/AndyRoddick">tweeted</a>.<br />
<br />
Brooklyn will be on hand tomorrow (Feb. 9) at 3 pm ET to answer questions about her <a target="_blank" href="http://www.popeater.com/2010/01/12/ashley-greene-nude-photos-sobe/">Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition</a> gig, -- which will be broadcast via <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ustream.tv/">UStream.tv</a> -- and will make a follow-up appearance on Letterman when the issue hits newsstands on Feb. 10. <br />
<br />
If <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/04/28/bar-refaelis-favorite-lbb-little-black-bikini/">Bar Refaeli</a>'s career since landing last year's cover is any indication, Brooklyn Decker's career is about to take off. Big time. <br />
<br />
Along with a reprise in the 2010 SI Swimsuit issue, Bar landed <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/27/bar-refaeli-strips-down-for-new-rampage-ad-campaign/">Rampage's campaign two seasons in a row</a>.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/brooklyn-decker-lands-cover-of-2010-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-edition/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/19349738/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/brooklyn-decker-lands-cover-of-2010-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-edition/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-19349738"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-19349738?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-19349738" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-19349738&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/brooklyn-decker-lands-cover-of-2010-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-edition/" /></p>]]></description><category>Bar Refaeli</category><category>Bikinis</category><category>Brooklyn Decker</category><category>cover girl</category><category>David Letterman</category><category>Magazine covers</category><category>Magazine Photo Shoots</category><category>Models</category><category>Sports Illustrated</category><category>Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition</category><category>Swimwear</category><dc:creator>Bee-Shyuan Chang</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-02-08T21:08:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Exclusive!

</div>
When the actress, pop-star and all-around-phenomenon <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven-Symon%C3%A9">Raven-Symon&eacute;</a> walks in the <a href="http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/educational/hearttruth/about/red-dress.htm">Heart Truth Red Dress Collection</a> runway show this Thursday, she will be wearing a gown that was custom-fitted and dyed for her by the Los Angeles-based designer <a href="http://www.tadashicollection.com/#">Tadashi Shoji</a>. The former star of "The Cosby Show" and "That's So Raven" was at Tadashi's studio last week for her final fitting, which she shared exclusively with <a href="http://www.stylelist.com">StyleList</a>.<br />
<br />
The actress arrived looking great - with a huge Louis Vuitton tote on her arm and wearing a glamorous <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/13/fashion-week-runway-review-vivienne-tam-spring-2010/">Vivienne Tam</a> day-dress. "It's from my mom's closet," she explained in a raspy voice that was caused by overzealous air conditioning in her new Sherman Oaks home. "I had it and then she took it for like four years, and now it's vintage, so I said, 'Ok give it back.'" <br />
<br />
When Raven tried on the red dress that she'll be wearing on the runway, however, she was totally transformed. "I feel like Marilyn Monroe," she said, looking at herself in the mirror. (Though the designer himself wasn't there to witness the glamorousness - one of his assistants was helping with the fitting - we know he'd be proud.)  <br />
<br />
Part of the transformation came courtesy of an "apparatus" she has created for herself, an undergarment that's part corset, part <a href="http://www.spanx.com/home/index.jsp">Spanx</a>. "Over the years of 'That's So Raven' and fluctuating and trying everything, I was like, I need to move this over here, move this here, put that there," she said.  <br />
<br />
The apparatus in question "makes the butt come out," according to the actress and recording star. "Normally Spanx makes the butt look flat, which is unacceptable for a black girl. No flat b. This molds and it lifts. Learn from Beyonc&eacute; all day long." <br />
<br />
Eventually, when Raven starts a fashion line - something she is working on with a yet-to-be-named clothing company -she hopes to include this particular garment. <br />
<br />
"When you do a line, you have to have something that sets it apart," she said. "I need to find that something so it's like, 'Did you hear what Raven has?'" <br />
<br />
Regardless, "It will be affordable to all and cater to the girl who is very luscious." <br />
<br />
Even though she looked fabulous, Raven explained that she has no anxiety about appearing in the upcoming fashion show. "The only time I was scared," she said, "was when I met Michael Jackson and when I met Janet Jackson. I almost fainted." <br />
<br />
Come Thursday, those in attendance can watch her confidently strut down the runway like another famous catwalker. "I'm coming for Naomi," she said with a laugh. <br />
<br />
Speaking of Naomi Campbell, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/04/naomi-campbell-haiti-relief-show-at-new-york-fashion-week/">have you heard what she's up to this Fashion Week? </a><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/exclusive-raven-symones-dress-fitting-with-tadashi-shoji-and/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/19349824/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/exclusive-raven-symones-dress-fitting-with-tadashi-shoji-and/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-19349824"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-19349824?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-19349824" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-19349824&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/exclusive-raven-symones-dress-fitting-with-tadashi-shoji-and/" /></p>]]></description><category>fall 2010 fashion</category><category>fall 2010 fashion week</category><category>Fall2010Fashion</category><category>Fall2010FashionWeek</category><category>heart truth fashion show</category><category>HeartTruthFashionShow</category><category>New York fashion week</category><category>NewYorkFashionWeek</category><category>raven-symone</category><category>the heart truth red dress collection</category><category>TheHeartTruthRedDressCollection</category><dc:creator>Marshall Heyman</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-02-08T19:25:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>'Jersey Shore' Cast Not Welcome at Fashion Week</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/jersey-shore-cast-not-welcome-at-fashion-week/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/jersey-shore-cast-not-welcome-at-fashion-week/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/jersey-shore-cast-not-welcome-at-fashion-week/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/celebrity/" rel="tag">Celebrity</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a></p><div align="center" id="classy">

<p>Normally, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/15/julianne-moore-gets-naked-for-bulgari-ad-campaign/">designers and celebrities</a> go together like champagne and bubbles. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/03/09/celebs-at-stella-mccartney/">Famous faces in the front row</a> of the collections mean more publicity which hopefully translates into more sales in the stores.</p>
<p>But America's current fascination with the self-described "Guido" cast of the MTV hit "<a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/11/jersey-shore-to-get-garden-state-rival-jersey-couture/">Jersey Shore</a>" is causing some consternation ahead of New York Fashion Week. <br />
<br />
The trouble-magnet known as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/04/snooki-says-goodbye-to-jersey-shore-style-with-a-makeunder/">Snooki</a> has, through an intermediary, let it be known that she is available to be a celebrity guest at the shows, which is wrinkling noses on faces normally too <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/03/did-calvin-klein-get-an-extreme-makeover/">Botoxed</a> to move.</p>
<p>"It's a nightmare," one veteran fashion publicist, who is responsible for seating several top Fashion Week shows, told me. "Nobody wants any of those kids anywhere near their brand."</p>
<p>The problem is that while the "<a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/03/olsen-twins-do-denim-jersey-shore-headed-to-fashion-week/">Jersey Shore</a>" cast would certainly attract flashbulbs, their lowbrow image is not seen as a snug fit with the showcase event of a multibillion-dollar luxury industry. Or, in the words of another Fashion Week vet: "They're [bleeping] peasants."</p>
<p>Of course, it would not be hard to re-cast the "<a target="_blank" href="http://television.aol.com/show/jersey-shore/11555509/main">Jersey Shore</a>" team with talent already familiar to Fashion Week. International Herald Tribune critic <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/19/project-runway-recap-and-the-winner-is/">Suzy Menkes</a> is an obvious choice for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/21/snooki-jersey-shore-hair-pouf-secrets-and-favorite-stores/">Snooki</a>, based on their similar hair styles. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/20/jwoww-from-jersey-shore-wants-to-sell-you-her-racy-low-cut-top/">J-Woww</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/23/betsey-johnson-chats-with-stylelist-about-holiday-dressing-a-di/">Betsey Johnson</a> also look as if they share a hairdresser.</p>
<p>For his famous abs, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.popeater.com/2010/01/13/george-clooney-jersey-shore-avatar/">The Situation</a> could only be played by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/03/19/marc-jacobs-is-engaged/">Marc Jacobs</a>, who has shown a recent fondness for stripping down for the camera. And the musclebound <a target="_blank" href="http://www.popeater.com/2010/01/08/ronnie-fight-jersey-shore/">Ronnie</a> looks like he shares a gym routine with square-shouldered menswear maestro, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/11/runway-review-cynthia-rowley/">John Bartlett</a>.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://insidetv.aol.com/2010/01/22/jersey-shore-reunion-sammi-and-ronnie-break-up-again-vid/">Sammi Sweetheart</a> and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/06/donna-karan-goes-back-to-parsons/" target="_blank">Donna Karan</a> show a similar knack for staying centered as madness swirls around them, while the bashful good-guy <a target="_blank" href="http://video.aol.com/video-detail/jersey-shore-jersey-shore-one-liners-vinny-on-fist-pumping/595297630">Vinny</a> reminds me of gentlemanly designer <a target="_blank" href="http://www.michaelbastiannyc.com/">Michael Bastian</a>. <a target="_blank" href="http://theinsider.travel.aol.com/2010/01/27/jersey-shores-dj-pauly-d-to-appear-at-mcfaddens/">DJ Pauly D</a> could only be fashion's favorite spin-meister, <a target="_blank" href="http://video.aol.com/video-detail/vbs-meets-ben-cho/4187286477">Ben Cho</a>.</p>
<p>Then there's <a target="_blank" href="http://video.aol.ca/video-detail/in-a-wrong-relationship/4270871018/?icid=VIDLRVENT08">Angelina</a>, the cast member who seemed promising but was fired early on and completely disappeared from the scene. Umm, <a target="_blank" href="http://katebetts.com/">Kate Betts</a>?<br />

Tackling global issues like health care and the economy? That's a piece of cake!<br />
<br />
It's <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20342320,00.html" target="_blank">shopping for wedding dresses</a> that's proving more difficult to negotiate for <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/29/hillary-clinton-loses-her-shoe-saved-by-french-president-nicolas-sarkozy/">Secretary of State Hillary Clinton</a> and her <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/02/chelsea-clinton-wedding-dress-what-shell-be-wearing/">bride-to-be daughter, Chelsea Clinton.</a><br />
<br />
Hillary confessed to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9DJDB000.htm">CNN's Candy Crowley</a> that neither she nor the former first daughter have settled on dresses for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.chelseaclinton.org/">Chelsea</a>'s <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/02/chelsea-clinton-wedding-dress-what-shell-be-wearing/">planned summer nuptials</a> to longtime love <a target="_blank" href="http://www.aolnews.com/story/chelsea-clinton-and-marc-mezvinsky/790264">Marc Mezvinsky</a>. <br />
<br />
"If you don't tell anybody, Candy, we're still looking," <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/18/hillary-clinton-channels-her-inner-flower-child-in-a-questionabl/">Clinton</a> fessed up in an interview with the political correspondent. "I don't have a dress yet and neither does Chelsea. We're working on it." <br />
<br />
Um, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/07/breaking-news-giorgio-armani-talks-bull-karl-lagerfelds-peep/">Clinton</a> ladies, time for a speedy motorcade over to the bridal atelier. Gown veterans know it takes more than one quick fitting to get that flawless look for the wedding pictures, which are sure to be broadcast around the world. <br />
<br />
No date, beyond a vague "Summer 2010." has been released publicly by the couple, who announced their engagement last year.<br />
<br />
So, what's more difficult, negotiating Middle East peace or wedding plans? Crowley asked. "I'd probably call it a draw about now," <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/07/hillary-clinton-prom-dress-flashback/">Clinton</a> laughed. <br />
<br />
If <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/23/hillary-clinton-style-evolution/">Hillary</a> is stumped on what to wear, perhaps she can turn to the ever-stylish First Lady <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/27/michelle-obama-state-of-the-union-purple-sweater-dress/">Michelle Obama</a> to convene a style summit. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/07/michelle-obama-style-pretty-in-purple/">Obama</a> told <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/" target="_blank">"Today</a>'s" Matt Lauer last week that she plans her outfits out about two weeks in advance, but beyond that does not pay too much attention to the fact that she's perceived as a fashion icon.<br />
<br />
If <a target="_blank" href="http://money.aol.com/article/clinton-daughter-chelsea-engaged-to-be/790389?cid=9">Chelsea</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/23/hillary-clinton-style-evolution/">Hillary</a> are really pressed for time, maybe they can just shop online at <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/12/j-crew-expanding-to-canada-united-kingdom/">J.Crew</a>, which we all know is a favorite resource of the current administration.<br />
<br />
From the way <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2008/05/22/donna-karan-too-expensive-for-hillary-clinton/">Clinton</a> spoke about the wedding, we have a hunch she may have been keeping a few state secrets. (Let's just hope Hill avoids <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/23/hillary-clinton-style-evolution/" target="_blank">pants suits</a>, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/07/hillary-clinton-prom-dress-flashback/" target="_blank">retro prom dresses</a> and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/08/18/hillary-clintons-headband-a-return-to-her-nineties-hair-acces/" target="_blank">headbands</a>.)<br />
<br />
"It's a new status for me, MOTB (mother of the bride), but I am proud to have that status." <br />

</div>
<a> Donatella Versace</a> has seen better days, and by that, she means she misses the heyday of the real <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/08/13/supermodels-go-without-makeup-in-september-issue-of-harpers-baz/">supermodels</a>. <br />
<br />
The Italian designer prefers personalities to today's blank-slate, walking clothes hangers and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/donatella-versace-im-not-a-believer-in-the-natural-look-1892132.html">dishes to Love magazine on the crazy catwalk days of the early '90s</a> -- think one-name household monikers, as in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/06/24/christy-turlingtons-encore-as-face-of-bally-ad-campaign/">Christy</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/30/cindy-crawford-admits-botox-use/">Cindy</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/31/naomi-campbell-bankruptcy-rumors-completely-untrue/">Naomi</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fashionmodeldirectory.com/models/Linda_Evangelista/">Linda</a>, reports the Independent UK.<br />
<br />
Hitting newsstands tomorrow, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/02/love-magazine-stars-kate-moss-naomi-campbell-and-six-other-supermodels-naked/">Love's "Fashion Icon's" issue with naked supermodels on its cover</a>, has Donatella wishing for more runway icons in the making.<br />
<br />
"There is not enough ego!" the designer lamented. "Now is a bad moment. Now we need something. We need a special personality. We need to feed the egos of these girls. Somebody like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/08/13/supermodels-go-without-makeup-in-september-issue-of-harpers-baz/">Kristen [McMenamy]</a> who had a huge ego. Beautiful..."<br />
<br />
While the latest round of robotic Sashas and Valerias also have our heads spinning, are we really ready for a true <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/12/top-supermodels-share-their-beauty-secrets/">supermodel</a> comeback?<br />
<br />
For his Fall '91 show, Donatella's late brother, Gianni, cast <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/03/vogue-italia-twitter-cover-a-supermodel-twitpic-collage/">Christy Turlington</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.supermodels.nl/lindaevangelista">Linda Evangelista</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/04/jcpenney-launching-one-kiss-by-cindy-crawford-jewelry-line/">Cindy Crawford</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/04/naomi-campbell-haiti-relief-show-at-new-york-fashion-week/">Naomi Campbell</a> all in the same show and together they sang <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diYAc7gB-0A">George Michael's "Freedom"</a> on the runway. <br />
<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/19/versace-to-launch-luxury-cell-phone/">Donatella</a> insists it's all about championing fun.<br />
<br />
"There is an idea of neutrality in models now. Little <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/15/the-week-in-beauty/">make-up</a>, no expression, like a robot... That is very stupid. It is almost as if the models have to have the appearance of something serious, to give an intellectual base, but they themselves are rarely like that," the bleach blonde designer told the magazine.<br />
<br />
"And the roots of fashion are essentially fun. It is something that women wear to make themselves feel better, that shouldn't be forgotten. When you take the joy out of fashion, it is not fashion any more."<br />
<br />
But along with big egos come big personalities, and in fashion's case, sharpened claws. Donatella dishes on some behind-the-scenes <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/21/giorgio-armani-prive-and-christian-dior-having-haute-couture-catfight/">catfighting</a>:<br />
<br />
"<a target="_blank" href="http://www.fabricmag.com/fabric-magazine-models/lanvins-black-cat-magic-kristen-mcmenamy-steven-meisel/">Kristen [McMenamy]</a> was a big problem with my brother at first -- she was crazy; Gianni just did not understand right away. The stories! Ha! Between her and Linda [Evangelista], it was like watching a movie that never ends...<br />
<br />
"One day they had a fight about roots. Kristen had arrived with black roots in blonde hair, and Linda arrived with black roots in blonde hair; and both of them went mad, both saying they were first. Really, that is a big thing for models -- roots!"<br />
<br />
A backstage fight on roots? At least this was <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/31/lady-gagas-two-tone-grammys-2010-hair-and-shes-not-the-only-o/">pre-Lady Gaga's two-tone yellow locks</a> (we have a feeling the supermodels may have lost that one).<br />
<br />
We do see <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/06/05/versace-ceo-steps-down/">Versace</a>'s point, fashion shows have increasingly become about who's in the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/07/10/front-row-celebrities-fall-2009-couture/">front row</a> and not who's on the runway.<br />
<br />
However, while <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/18/runway-review-versace-pre-fall-2010/">Donatella</a> pines for more memorable mannequins, the designer herself isn't exactly lagging in the Hollywood game. She was the mastermind behind launching the label's most celebrity-embraced collection, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/17/2010-golden-globes-dress-recap/">Atelier Versace</a>, with the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/15/susan-sarandon-barefoot-on-red-carpet/">red carpet</a> in mind. <br />
<br />
And if you tack on her silver screen cameos in "<a target="_blank" href="http://www.moviefone.com/movie/zoolander/9920/main">Zoolander</a>" and "<a target="_blank" href="http://www.moviefone.com/movie/the-devil-wears-prada/23758/main">The Devil Wears Prada</a>," you'll see <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/06/05/versace-ceo-steps-down/">Donatella</a> has eclipsed those robotic models as a household name.<br />
<br />
As for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/10/28/versace-to-lay-off-350-employees/">Versace</a>'s Spring 2010 campaign featuring <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2008/05/20/jerry-hall-selling-her-mick-jagger-wedding-dress-dirt-cheap/">Mick Jagger's youngest daughter</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/05/wisk-facebook-stains-georgia-may-jagger-for-versace-and-choo/">Georgia May Jagger</a>, we're wondering if Donatella is doing as she suggests and pumping the teenager's ego. Rock star progeny plus over-inflated ego? Sounds more to us like a recipe for a fashion disaster.<br />
<br />
If one thing is for sure, the "supers" have staying power. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/04/jcpenney-launching-one-kiss-by-cindy-crawford-jewelry-line/">Cindy Crawford has parlayed her modeling career into a business</a>.<br /><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/donatella-versace-spills-on-90s-supermodel-drama-complains-todays-models-dont-have-enough-ego/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/19349013/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/donatella-versace-spills-on-90s-supermodel-drama-complains-todays-models-dont-have-enough-ego/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-19349013"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-19349013?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-19349013" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-19349013&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/donatella-versace-spills-on-90s-supermodel-drama-complains-todays-models-dont-have-enough-ego/" /></p>]]></description><category>90s Supermodels</category><category>catfights</category><category>Donatella Versace</category><category>Gianni Versace</category><category>Kristen McMenamy</category><category>linda evangelista</category><category>Love magazine</category><category>models</category><category>supermodels</category><category>Versace</category><dc:creator>Bee-Shyuan Chang</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-02-08T17:18:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Michelle Smith Teams With Clinique For Milly Makeup Bag</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/milly-by-michelle-smith-teams-with-clinique-for-makeup-bag/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/milly-by-michelle-smith-teams-with-clinique-for-makeup-bag/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/milly-by-michelle-smith-teams-with-clinique-for-makeup-bag/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/beauty/" rel="tag">Beauty</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/makeup/" rel="tag">Makeup</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/skin-and-body/" rel="tag">Skin &amp; Body</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/shopping/" rel="tag">Shopping</a></p><div align="center" id="classy">

Whether you were cheering for the Colts or the Saints, there was no shortage of revelry during Super Bowl weekend in Miami. There were more open bars than a prison breakout and stars such as Jessica Alba, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/25/superbowl-2010-celebrity-football-fans/">Fergie</a>, and Jimmy Fallon in the mix. Here's the rundown of the celebrity-soaked scene: <br />
<br />
It started early on Saturday with a boozy brunch - complete with DIY Bloody Mary bar - hosted by all-star MLB pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen. They threw a $1000-a-plate fundraising brunch on top of the Viceroy hotel downtown to help juice their <a href="http://www.moyerfoundation.org/about/default.aspx">charity dedicated to helping children</a> under physical and emotional distress. <br />
<br />
Also on hand was star chef Mario Batali who was celebrating the launch of his own <a href="http://www.mariobatalifoundation.org">eponymous foundation</a>. (Batali and Moyer became friends when the chef started buying salami from the baseball player's dad.) As Batali and Emeril Lagasse tag-teamed the crowd with demos, Jimmy Fallon mingled, admitting he was a hopeless cook. "But I've just gotten a crockpot," he enthused. "If you get one, just tweet about it and people will start sending you recipes." <br />
<br />
Food was scarcer later that evening at Michael Bay's house, where a star-spattered dinner planned on the sprawling manse's roof was canceled because of the chilly weather (the food was plated and turned into passed appetizers indoors). Bay was hosting another sporting charity bash, this time for <a href="http://www.givingback.org">The Giving Back Fund</a>, which helps rich sports stars morph into philanthropists. Clearly, someone at the CW owed the director a favor. Making red carpet appearances were '90210 2.0' vixen Annalynne McCord with boyfriend Kellan Lutz, and 'Gossip Girl' couple Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr. The latter couple's flight from N.Y.C. was canceled from the snow, so he had barely made the celebrity football game on the beach earlier that day. Not that it mattered. "I don't know the rules anyway, mate," he laughed. <br />
<br />
Late night on the Super Bowl's eve, it was a laddie mag smack down between two bashes for Playboy and Maxim. Both were vying for A-list attendance, but poor Maxim ended up with the C-list pairing of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo. (They had embarrassingly been denied entry to the bash at LIV inside the Fontainebleau the night before.) Maxim's cred improved when Nelly and Lennox Lewis arrived at the Raleigh hotel, but leave it to 'CSI: Miami' newbie Omar Miller to then take it back down a notch. "What makes a good party, man? A limbo pole, some lubricant and pineapple," he said before ducking inside around midnight. <br />
<br />
The gaggles of bunny-clad Playmates and live mermaids in the pool at the party Playboy and Bacardi threw for the Black Eye Peas' a few doors down at the Sagamore that didn't keep Fergie away - she's a brave woman. But 'The Dutchess' didn't show up in the Bacardi box at the game itself, though will.i.am and the other Peas did. Jessica Alba and David Spade lurked there together, too (no, we didn't know they were friends, either). Meanwhile Kate Walsh didn't seem to pay much attention to the game, instead opting to snap photos of herself with the gridiron behind her. Maybe she's over big game and prefers, ahem, a private practice.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/super-bowl-2010-party-miami/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/19349527/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/super-bowl-2010-party-miami/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-19349527"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-19349527?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-19349527" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-19349527&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/super-bowl-2010-party-miami/" /></p>]]></description><category>fergie</category><category>hot young stars</category><category>HotYoungStars</category><category>super bowl</category><category>super bowl 2010</category><category>SuperBowl</category><category>SuperBowl2010</category><dc:creator>Mark Ellwood</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-02-08T15:50:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>The Heart Truth - Fashionable Factoids</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/the-heart-truth-fashionable-factoids/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/the-heart-truth-fashionable-factoids/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/the-heart-truth-fashionable-factoids/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/runway-report/" rel="tag">Runway Report</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/stylish-living/" rel="tag">Stylish Living</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/how-to-wear/" rel="tag">How to Wear</a></p><div id="classy">

<strong>Heart Truth Factoid #11:</strong><br />
<br />
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, being physically inactive doubles your risk of developing heart disease. <br />
<br />
If you just can't make the time to hit the gym, at least add some extra activity to your daily routine by walking upstairs instead of using the elevator and doing neighborhood errands by foot instead of in the car. <br />
<br />
And to make things easier, ditch your stiletto heels and throw on a stylish (not to mention comfortable) pair of flats, like this shiny red pair by Kate Spade. <br />
<br />
Why are we promoting a happy heart? It's on trend of course! This month, the <a href="http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/index.htm">National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI<span style="font-style: italic;">) </span></a>will host its annual star-studded Red Dress Collection runway show during New York Fashion Week. <a href="http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/educational/hearttruth/about/index.htm">The Heart Truth initiative</a>, as it is known, aims to inform women about the risk of heart disease. <br />

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/index.html">W Hotels</a> is staking a claim on the fashion world with its latest hire.<br />
<br />
The ultra-chic hotel chain announced the appointment of stylist Amanda Ross as its first-ever Global Fashion Director. Ross, who has consulted for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/02/naomi-campbell-wearing-fur-dennis-basso-peta/">Dennis Basso</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/10/runway-review-elie-tahari/">EIie Tahari</a> and served as the wardrobe stylist for "<a href="http://television.aol.com/show/lipstick-jungle/1342096/main" target="_blank">Lipstick Jungle</a>," spoke to <a href="http://stylelist.com" target="_blank">StyleList</a> about her new gig, which designers she could see creating hotel uniforms and what she'll be wearing this spring. <br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList:</strong> What does your role as Global Fashion Director for W Hotels entail?<br />
<strong>Amanda Ross:</strong> I'm honored to have been chosen as W's Global Fashion Director -- it's the first position of its kind for any hotel. Essentially, I will create the strategic framework for W's global point of view on fashion, whether it be through creating partnerships between W and designers, fostering relationships between the brand and influential members of the fashion community or recommending collaborations for W Hotel The Store's exclusive designer collection, Global Glam.<br />
<br />
<strong>SL:</strong> How did the position come to be?<br />
<strong>AR:</strong> W has two primary passions -- fashion and music. Last year, they appointed a Global Music Director, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lacqua.net/">Michaelangelo L'Acqua</a> and wanted to hire someone to guide the brand in the world of fashion. As W continues their global growth (they are opening nine hotels this year), they needed someone with an international perspective on the fashion industry. They approached me and I happily accepted! <br />
<br />
<strong>SL:</strong> Which W Hotel property will you be working on first? <br />
<strong>AR:</strong> Most of the ideas I have for the brand will be rolled out on a global scale and we're not announcing those just yet. However, the first property I will be visiting is W Barcelona in March. I will also be heading to Paris Fashion Week, where W will be opening a hotel in 2011. <br />
<br />
<strong>SL: </strong>Which designers do you think would create great hotel uniforms?<br />

<strong>SL: </strong>How would you describe your personal style?<br />
<strong>AR:</strong> Cameron Silver, owner of [vintage mecca] <a target="_blank" href="http://www.decadesinc.com/main.shtml">Decades</a>, describes my style as "bohemian Upper East Side with a fur vest." <br />
<br />
<strong>SL: </strong>What are your wardrobe staples?<strong><br />

<h2>Fashion Week Fall 2010 Preview</h2>
<p class="caption">In looking for the latest and greatest in the upcoming Fall season, it's the establishment who appear like fresh faces. A slew of industry stalwarts are re-surfacing on the New York fashion calendar with either a debut collection (hello, Coach rainmaker, Reed Krakoff!), or as a second-coming for stars of decades past (Norma Kamali, the 80's goddess of jersey, swim and sportswear; plus Mobama favorite, Maria Pinto). For American avant-gardist, Jeremy Scott, it is a change of venue from the City of Lights back to the Big Apple. <br />
<br />
What do retailers think of this new old scene? Beth Buccini, co-owner of the ruthlessly edited boutique, Kirna Zabete says, "It's wonderful." Laura Vinroot Poole of Capitol in North Carolina adds, "I'm thrilled about Norma Kamali and only wish I could find my killer bathing suit of hers from junior high (and would be more thrilled if I could fit one leg in it!)"<br />
<br />
And why now? Buccini offers, "People are thinking of present and future value for big purchases." Who better to produce as much than designers who have already stood the test of time?<br />
<br />
<i>At left, Coach creative director Reed Krakoff, with his wife, Delphine.</i></p>

<p class="caption">High-fashion milliner, Albertus Swaenpoel, caps off a whopping 13 designers' shows this season - making a collaboration with his label Albertus Q, the ne plus ultra of the week. Look for his fancy toppers to be gracing the heads of models at Carolina Herrera, Derek Lam, DKNY, Theory, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Peter Som, Narciso Rodriguez, Cushnie and Ochs, Vera Wang, Jill Stuart, (the aforementioned) Reed Krakoff, Suno, and Timo Weiland. <br />
Whew! <br />
<br />
Does this signal an obvious return to headgear? Here is what the 2008 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Winner and the 2009 nominee for the Swarovski CFDA Accessory Award had to say: "I think, and hope, so! It's always more prevalent for Fall and the inspiration is very diverse this season. It ranges from very modern architectural shapes to historical shapes re- interpreted."<br />
<br />
Our virtual hat goes off to you, Albertus!</p>
<p class="credit"><a title="Getty Images" href="http://o.aolcdn.com/photo-hub/albertus-swanepoel-hat-designer940kk020510.jpg" type="image/jpeg" rel="enclosure">Fashion Week Fall 2010 Preview</a></p>
<p class="caption">Now in their fourth season, Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs' body-conscious designs have gained momentum among the fashion flock. <br />
<br />
And this time around, the 2009 Ecco Domani Fashion Fund winners will have even more to show for their efforts. The darling duo will unveil their latest offerings on February 11th including a rash of first-time accessories. Hats will be created with the aforementioned Albertus Swanepoel; gloves with Jennifer Marie of Hugo &amp; Marie; and shoes with catwalk cobbler Alejandro Ingelmo. <br />
<br />
Expect this to be one of the top show tickets of the season.</p>

<p class="caption">This pouty-lipped 15-year-old was plucked out of Kansas by Steven Meisel last Fall, and not long there after opened Prada's Spring 2010 show in Milan (the other girls were made-up to emulate her cartoon pout and drippy teenage hair). A star was born. <br />
<br />
Her heart-shaped face is currently in the Miu Miu campaign (normally, a spot occupied by the likes of celebrities such as Kirsten Dunst and La Lohan). Right now, this filly holds all the cards and will walk only the luckiest designers' shows.<br />
<br />
"She's very different, an artistic, inspirational kind of girl," says casting director, Nelson Silva. "She's like a Lolita and at the age of 15 she's only going to get better and better as a model and as an artist." <br />
<br />
<br />

<p class="caption">The Hudson Hotel is about to open a raw subterranean space with two-levels and 30-foot ceilings called Good Units. The party kicks off February 9th, with a soiree for Interview Magazine's 40th Anniversary. And on February 11th, designer and Sex and the City" wardrobe queen, Patricia Field, will debut a Keith Haring-inspired collection in the 6000-square-foot spot. <br />
<br />
The converted space is a former YMCA and has exposed graffiti and a gym class vibe, with vintage bleachers, gym-mat derived furniture, and cargo netting. To top-off the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" grunge theme, waiters will don a uniform of thrift-store tuxedo shirts, suspenders, cut-off denim shorts and Doc Martens.<br />
<br />
All that irony is sure to attract downtown-centric hipsters to midtown. And when fashion week moves to Lincoln Center in September, the spot will literally be party central.</p>

<p class="caption">Get ready to show off your Poker Face ladies! <br />
<br />
According to Lanc&ocirc;me's Kerry Diamond, "Lady Gaga has inspired every makeup artist I know." <br />
<br />
Gaga (as she prefers to be called) definitely gave us a lot to take in at the recent Grammy's, but does this mean we'll see models with large pink rectangles over their eyes? Not quite. <br />
<br />
"The adventurous spirit in makeup was evidenced by all red lips on the red carpet at the Globes," says Diamond. That we can handle.<br />
<br />
"The only thing I hope we don't see is boring makeup. There's no excuse for that this season," she warns.</p>

<p class="caption">With its cross-body shoulder strap and attach&eacute;-like appeal, the Proenza Schouler PS1 bag is the new classic among the chic set. There is plenty of room under the soft buckled flap for Smythson notebooks (de riguer among editors), digital cameras, and, of course, show invites. <br />
<br />
Of course with great design, comes a great price tag. This covetable item runs from $895 for a clutch to $5,250 for an extra large python version, but don't fret. Luckily this messenger bag/brief case hybrid is the new shape for spring. <br />
<br />
(Read: different variations are already available at mainstream retailers like J.Crew and A.P.C.)</p>

<p class="caption">What does a fashion editor wear when temperatures drop below zero? "Over the knee boots!," exclaims Meggan Crum, Accessories Director of InStyle Magazine. <br />
<br />
Crum loves her Louboutin version so much, she calls them the new "it-bag." These runway sensations from Fall have hit their stride, and are keeping chic gams warm on cold streets and cool nightclubs alike.</p>

<p class="caption">In the long line of fashion week show ponies-Camilla Belle, Leighton Meester, Alexa Chung-it would appear that a leading indicator of such status is being trotted out by Vogue. <br />
<br />
With this in mind, we predict that this season's ubiquitor will be the British actress and newly-minted Oscar nominee, Carey Mulligan. To wit, the star of "An Education" made her debut this summer at Vogue's screening of "The September Issue." <br />
<br />
But, since the onset of award season, the pixie-haired beauty has graced innumerable red carpets and best-dressed lists, and has clearly established herself as A-list material. We envision that she'll be front row and the focus of shuttering lenses just about every day. <br />
<br />
After all, she does need to pick out an Oscar dress for the big ceremony in March!</p>
<p class="credit"><a title="Jordan Strauss/WireImage.com" href="http://o.aolcdn.com/photo-hub/carey-mulligan-940ls020510.jpg" type="image/jpeg" rel="enclosure">Fashion Week Fall 2010 Preview</a></p>
<p class="caption">What are show-goers to do now that cabs town cars have been cut back at Cond&eacute; Nast, and cabs are impossible to catch? <br />
<br />
A few stylish ladies-about-town have already found a way around the traffic dilemma. <br />
<br />
Vogue's Lauren Santo Domingo zooms about fashion week in her SmartCar. The editrix parks her tiny wheels mere steps away from shows, in spots so skinny, only a bike would otherwise fit. <br />
<br />
Stylist and TV costume designer, Amanda Ross, has been employing Ozo, a green taxi service, for some time now. Old habits die hard, and the former Market Director from Harper's Bazaar is accustomed to white glove service. An electric version of the "black car" does the trick and also elegantly balances out her carbon footprint.<br />
<br />
When all else fails, there's nothing like pedaling your way to the tents. Such is the case for Sabine Heller, an editorial and brand consultant, who opts for a rickshaw when her guerilla taxi-hailing tactics fail heed results. The New York and Bombay native is equally comfortable in both, and rather enjoys the scenic ride along Sixth Avenue.</p>

</div>
Every year at New York's Fall Fashion Week, "lady in red" takes on a whole new meaning.  <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/educational/hearttruth/">The Heart Truth's</a> 2010 Fashion Show - which features famous faces modeling red dresses in support of women's heart health outreach and research - is partnering with <a href="http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com">Bobbi Brown</a> on the makeup artist's trademark <a href="http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/templates/products/spp/index.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY22819&amp;PRODUCT_ID=PROD15859">Shimmer Brick</a> in Bronze, which will come in an adorably heart-packaged limited edition set paired with a Mini Face Blender Brush.  <br />
<br />
How limited edition are we talking? Just 500 pieces, priced at $40 each with free shipping on any order that includes the set (code: HEART1) - and on sale right now while supplies last on the <a href="http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/templates/products/spp/index.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY22819&amp;PRODUCT_ID=PROD15859">beauty maven's website</a>.  <br />
<br />
We wouldn't be surprised if the shimmer brick - which sweeps the subtlest kiss of bronzey shimmer anywhere on the face - is used backstage at the glitzy fashion show, set to take place this Thursday. Past celebs who have walked the runway in support of the charity include Kim Cattrall, Lisa Rinna, Kristi Yamaguchi, The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson and First Lady Laura Bush. <br />
<br />
If your to-do list this week doesn't involve walking on a runway, you can still rock the shimmerbrick in a glam way. We love to blend it on the very tops of the cheekbone and up into the temples for a Hollywood glow that adds a candle-lit radiance to the complexion.  <br />

<a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/06/20/queen-latifah-to-launch-fragrance/">Queen Latifah</a> and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/07/carrie-underwood-super-bowl-2010-national-anthem/">Carrie Underwood</a> may have kicked off <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/04/jordin-sparks-is-super-bowl-ready-in-face-paint/">Super Bowl</a> XLIV in Miami, Florida last night by singing soulful renditions of "America the Beautiful" and the National Anthem, but it wasn't just their powerful voices that caught our attention.<br />
<br />
These two <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/01/grammys-2010-trend-alert-buff-colored-dresses/">divas</a> proved that they could hang with the guys and still hold it down for the girls with their pumped up <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/23/we-will-wear-shakiras-ponytail-whenever-wherever/">ponytails</a>.<br />
<br />
This simple, yet chic <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/category/cuts-and-style">hairstyle</a> is the perfect 'do for attending a sporting event -- you'll spend less time worrying about <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/18/how-do-i-tame-frizzy-hair-ask-the-editor/">flyaways</a> and spend more time cheering on your favorite team and high-fiving your neighbor.<br />
<br />
We love how Latifah accentuated her sleek, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/20/ashley-greenes-hip-ponytail/">pompadour ponytail</a> with glowing skin, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/17/rihanna-electric-purple-eyeshadow/">purple eyeshadow</a> and berry lips. And Underwood's voluminous <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/21/mila-kunis-emmy-night-ponytail/">ponytail</a> is champion-worthy with a fresh face and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/16/pop-beauty-false-eyelashes/">lush lashes</a>. <br />
<br />

<p>Anne Hathaway raises the roof (and some eyebrows) with new British GQ cover.</p>
</div>

<p>Getting overly <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/16/twiggys-airbrushed-eyes-in-olay-ad-ruled-misleading/">Photoshopped</a>? Now that's the pits. <br />
<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/08/28/hey-anne-hathaway-you-forgot-your-pants/">Anne Hathaway</a>'s sexy new cover for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/girls/cover_girls/slideshows/100201-anne-hathaway.aspx">British GQ's March issue</a> is causing speculation that the <a target="_blank" href="http://jezebel.com/5465785/anne-hathaway-loses-her-armpit-on-the-cover-of-british-gq">actress' armpits have been airbrushed away</a>, Jezebel reports.</p>
<p>The cover, on stands now, features the "<a target="_blank" href="http://www.moviefone.com/movie/valentines-day/37962/main">Valentine's Day</a>" star nearly popping out of her provocative black <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/14/corset-sales-boost-credit-lady-gaga-and-rihanna/">corset</a> as she raises her arms above her head.</p>
<p>Only problem? Her left armpit appears to be MIA, with nary a hollow to be seen. An interior shot of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/01/10/anne-hathaway-style-redemption/">actress</a> in a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/04/pointy-bras-are-back/">retro bra </a>and shorts set also casts her underarms in an unrealistic light.<br />
<br />
Maybe it's her deodorant?</p>
<p>Of course, this wouldn't be the first time a celebrity is the victim to Photoshop gone awry. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/29/demi-moores-hip-resurfaces-on-w-korea-cover/">Demi Moore's hip reportedly got the chop on the cover of W</a>, only to resurface on the magazine's Korean edition.</p>

Did you ever think that a nail polish line could be inspired by a typewriter? That's just one of the unexpected inspirations you get when an art-minded Rhode Island School of Design graduate casts her imaginative mind to into the beauty world. <br />
<br />
Jane Schub, creator of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.strangebeautiful.biz/strangebeautiful.html">Strangebeautiful</a> nail color, does not rely on seasonal color trends to drive her nail polish shades. Rather, she turns to her background as an illustrator and trained artist, drawing on the Bauhaus master <a target="_blank" href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/images/h2/h2_1972.40.7.jpg&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/geab/ho_1972.40.7.htm&amp;usg=__7Kngm_1vb5GCNAWob-gmxWFwmUY=&amp;h=499&amp;w=500&amp;sz=55&amp;hl=en&amp;start=12&amp;um=1&amp;itbs=1&amp;tbnid=cxxqnFVFzbiAfM:&amp;tbnh=130&amp;tbnw=130&amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Djosef%2Balbers%2Bcolor%2Btheory%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1">Josef Albers' color theory</a>, which views color as an ever-changing relationship -- our perception of a single hue is dependent on the other shades that surround it. <br />

<br />
The result is a boldly different line of colors, drawing influences as different as caribou heads, to the gradation of fur, to the veins of green mold running through Roquefort cheese. <br />
<br />
Schub let Stylelist pry into her creative process and get her take on the colors of the moment. Strangebeautiful is available at <a href="http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/store/catalog/templates/P4.jhtml?itemId=cat312704&amp;parentId=cat10024&amp;masterId=cat000017">Bergdorf Goodman</a>, 212-753-7300.<br />
<br />
<strong>Q:</strong> How did you get into the nail business?<br />
<strong>A:</strong> I'm not really in the nail business per se. I'm a fashion and beauty illustrator and an artist and I've done two beauty lines (Jules and Jane and Savage Beauty) in the past. A year ago, I got a gift of a <a target="_blank" href="http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=200417567464#shId">1970s Red Olivetti Valentine typewriter</a> and the color inspired me. I said, "I have to do a nail polish line." So that's how it started.<br />
<br />
<strong>Q:</strong> Why aren't you selling the colors separately?<br />
<strong>A:</strong> The whole theory behind the line is that the colors are meant to be seen together, interacting and contrasting. Each color can look completely different depending on which other polish it's next to. I've drawn inspiration from <a target="_blank" href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/images/h2/h2_1972.40.7.jpg&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/geab/ho_1972.40.7.htm&amp;usg=__7Kngm_1vb5GCNAWob-gmxWFwmUY=&amp;h=499&amp;w=500&amp;sz=55&amp;hl=en&amp;start=12&amp;um=1&amp;itbs=1&amp;tbnid=cxxqnFVFzbiAfM:&amp;tbnh=130&amp;tbnw=130&amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Djosef%2Balbers%2Bcolor%2Btheory%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1">Josef Albers' color theory</a>. <br />
<br />
<strong>Q:</strong> Do you see the Volumes bring sold or used in nail salons?<br />
<strong>A:</strong> Not really, the polish is more of a luxury accessory for your hands and feet, whether it's the entire volume or the pairs of color pairings we're coming out with soon. <br />
<br />
<strong>Q:</strong> How are the polishes different from the ones you'd find in a salon?<br />
<strong>A:</strong> They're super saturated and highly pigmented. In a typical polish, you'd find about 15 to 18 percent pigment. Mine are made with 50 to 75 percent pigment, so you only need one coat. This much pigment means we had to add six (generally there are one or two in a bottle) steel ball bearings so the formula would remain evenly dispersed. Also, Strangebeautiful is free of formaldehyde, toulene and DBP (a.k.a. phthalates).<br />

<br />
<strong>Q: </strong>Why no names or labels? And tell us about the colors in your soon-to-launch 4th collection. <br />
<strong>A:</strong> The colors don't have names and the bottles are deliberately label-free because I prefer to refer to their points of inspiration -- like the greyish-taupe-y shade I see in the gradation of fur on the taxidermy caribou head on my dresser. It could literally be the range of colors of that quashed bug on your window. It doesn't have to be beautiful to be beautiful it just needs to be a bit strange.<br />
<br />
<strong>Q: </strong>Are the Volumes fashion driven?<br />
<strong>A: </strong>No, the process has nothing to do with fashion or the seasons. The colors come from anything and everything, I don't work from swatches or paint chips. I personally develop all the colors myself -- I mix each one as you would for an oil painting. <br />
<br />
<strong>Q:</strong> Would you consider doing a collaboration with a fashion designer?<br />
<strong>A: </strong>Yes! I would love to design a color for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rodarte.net/">Rodarte</a>. What a great partnership idea! <br />
<br />

</div>
With an invasive reality TV show, busy motivational speaker schedule, ten kids to support, and a wife who never wears anything twice, <a href="http://www.brucejenner.com/">Bruce Jenner</a> certainly has a heavy load to carry.<br />
<br />
But when he's not trying to maintain order as the man of the house (as witnessed on the wildly popular E! television series "<a href="http://www.eonline.com/on/shows/kardashians/index.jsp">Keeping Up With the Kardashians</a>,") Jenner, 60, travels the world as a motivational speaker, sports commentator, and entrepreneur. <br />
<br />
This always-on-the-go lifestyle can be traced back to Jenner's own dogged determination that caused Sports Illustrated to declare him the "world's greatest athlete." Before he was reality show fodder, Jenner was a phenomenal athlete. He broke his own consecutive world records to score 8,634 points in the <a href="http://www.olympic.org/en/content/Sports/All-Sports/Athletics/Combined/All-Combined-events/decathlon-Men/">decathlon</a> at the <a href="http://www.olympic.org/en/content/Olympic-Games/All-Past-Olympic-Games/Summer/Montreal-1976/">1976 Olympic Games</a> in Montreal, Canada.<br />
<br />
In an exclusive interview with StyleList, Jenner jokingly admits that this steadfast drive also helps him to bring home enough bacon to support his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFR5KT98dIw">model helicopter obsession</a> and his wife, Kris Jenner's, expensive shopping habits.<br />
<br />
Read on as <a href="http://television.aol.com/celebs/bruce-jenner/1803756/main">Jenner</a> dishes about his success as an <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/05/dorothy-hamill-admits-i-hated-my-short-hair-in-candid-intervie/">Olympian</a>, the athletic abilities of daughters, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/16/kim-kardashian-makeup-jeans/">Kim</a>, <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2008/12/11/khloe-kardashian-naked-for-peta-stylefoul/">Khloe</a>, and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/25/kourtney-kardashian-says-ok-magazine-photoshopped-post-baby-body-cover/">Kourtney</a> Kardashian, and <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/22/is-he-stealing-your-makeup-survey-says-yes/">borrowing beauty products</a> from the women in the house. See why we're Team Bruce!<br />

<strong>StyleList:</strong> <strong>You've set world records (and back-to-back) in the Olympic Games in Men's Decathlon. What were you feeling during those multiple moments?</strong><br />
<strong>Bruce Jenner: </strong>They were very, very good. As far as the decathlon, all through my 20s, I was totally obsessed by this thing. I trained six to eight hours a day, 365 days of the year, year after year after year. I got ranked as number one in the world...a record holder and broke the record three times. I worked very hard at it and then retired the day of the Games. But I knew I was going to retire because I had to give up too much for the sport. I lived life on nothing for many years and I didn't want to do that forever. I wanted to move on.<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: </strong><strong>On your website, you're touted as the world's greatest athlete. Does that still hold true?</strong><br />
<strong>Bruce Jenner:</strong> That's a big title to live up to and like anything, I don't care how athletic you are, when you try a new sport you have to learn that sport. But the reason the title comes with the guy who wins the Olympic decathlon is because if you look at the sport it really is the only standardized test of a person's athletic ability. It's kind of got that title and I think rightfully so.<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: If you could arrange the ideal decathlon, who would your opponents be?</strong><br />
<strong>Bruce Jenner:</strong> Well, I wouldn't want to go up against myself [laughs]. I was very well prepared. I was the type of guy that could come up in performance under pressure. We've had no programs in the United States to develop decathletes. You kind of got to do it on your own. It's amazing when we go up against other countries like Germany, Checkoslovakia -- countries with major programs. We've had a rich history here in the good old USA.<br />

</div>
<strong>StyleList: Let's play a game of sport-daughter association. Match a daughter to the sport you believe she would excel at best. Ice hockey?</strong><br />
<strong>Bruce Jenner: </strong><a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2008/03/11/random-kardashian-sister-is-going-to-start-her-own-clothing-line/">Khloe</a> [Kardashian]. She's got the size and the grit.<br />
<strong>StyleList: Figure skating?</strong><br />
<strong>Bruce Jenner:</strong> <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/30/kim-kardashians-cool-blazer-ask-the-editor/">Kim</a> [Kardashian]...she's graceful.<br />
<strong>StyleList: Freestyle skating?</strong><br />
<strong>Bruce Jenner:</strong> I'd probably go with <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/17/kardashians-launching-jewelry-line-with-virgins-saints-and-angels/">Kourtney</a> [Kardashian] because she is gritty, tough and determined enough to do that. Now, coordination is a whole another thing [laughs]. I'm talking about mental grit.<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: Are you ever tempted to throw a javelin in the house when things get crazy?</strong><br />
<strong>Bruce Jenner:</strong> No. Well, sometimes at the kids when they get out of sync. I keep the javelins away.<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: Beside model helicopters </strong><strong>is there anything else that you like to splurge on?<br />
Bruce Jenner: </strong>Absolutely not. I have enough time with those. I have a small army force.<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: Do you have any other type of escape?</strong><br />
<strong>Bruce Jenner:</strong> <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/18/star-airport-style/">Traveling</a>...from a work side I do a lot of speaking. I stay generally busy as I want to be at this age. I have an expensive wife, so I can't stop working [laughs].<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: What is your men's skincare must-have? In a house full of women, are you ever tempted to use any of their products?<br />
Bruce Jenner: </strong>With all of these women in the house, I steal everything that they let me. <a href="http://www.garthfisher.com/">Garth Fisher</a> is a friend of the family and his line of skincare products [<a href="https://www.cellceuticalskincare.com/home.php">Cellceuticals</a>] is what I've been using for the last couple of years. But right from the beginning, I stole the girls' stuff.<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: If you had your own scent what would it smell like?<br />
Bruce Jenner: </strong>I don't want a scent that's too strong for me, but if I was a chick I would obviously use <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/06/kim-kardashian-fragrance/">Kim</a>'s -- which I think is a great fragrance. Everyone in the family uses it now so the whole family smells the same. It's kind of cute!<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: What's your favorite K-word?<br />
Bruce Jenner:</strong> It would have to be <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/23/kardashian-sisters-to-show-bebe-collection-during-new-york-fashion-week/">Kardashian</a>. Those are my girls. I've been very blessed with 10 children and its been a lot of fun over the last couple of years. There's nothing better for a parent than watching your children do well in what they're trying to accomplish.<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: Do you have any plans for Valentine's Day? Do you go all out?<br />
Bruce Jenner: </strong>Yes! My wife and I always spend the day together. Actually, my wife is the easiest because she goes out and buys exactly what she wants and then informs me that I just bought her a <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/19/valentines-day-estee-lauder-wants-you-to-love-your-lips/">Valentine's</a> present.<br />
<br />
<strong>StyleList: So did she get something sparkly?<br />
Bruce Jenner: </strong>Yes!<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/olympic-legend-bruce-jenner-on-being-olympian-kardashians-and-skincare/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/forward/19345386/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/olympic-legend-bruce-jenner-on-being-olympian-kardashians-and-skincare/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_155-19345386"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/155-19345386?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_155-19345386" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=155-19345386&amp;url=http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/olympic-legend-bruce-jenner-on-being-olympian-kardashians-and-skincare/" /></p>]]></description><category>Bruce Jenner</category><category>Cellceuticals</category><category>decathlon</category><category>Kardashian</category><category>Keeping Up With the Kardashians</category><category>Mens Decathlon</category><category>Olympics</category><category>skincare</category><category>world record</category><dc:creator>Dana Oliver</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-02-08T12:00:00 00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Benetton Launches Global Model Search: Is It Your Time to Shine?</title><link>http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/benetton-launches-global-model-search-is-it-your-time-to-shine/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/benetton-launches-global-model-search-is-it-your-time-to-shine/</guid><comments>http://www.styledash.com/2010/02/08/benetton-launches-global-model-search-is-it-your-time-to-shine/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.styledash.com/category/designers-and-brands/" rel="tag">Designers &amp; Brands</a></p><div align="center" id="classy">

With <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/23/kardashian-sisters-to-show-bebe-collection-during-new-york-fashion-week/" target="_blank">New York Fashion Week</a> just a few days away, we thought we'd catch any stragglers up to speed on who will likely be one of the most photographed "ladies" (perhaps an overstatement) at the shows: 13-year-old blogger <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/14/fashion-week-quote-of-the-week/">Tavi Gevinson</a>. <br />
<br />
While the sartorial savvy have known about this pint-sized Chicago-residing fashion follower since she launched her "<a target="_blank" href="http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/">Style Rookie</a>" blog in March 2008, Tavi mania has recently reached fever pitch, with 29,000 daily visitors (according to <a target="_blank" href="http://archives.chicagotribune.com/2009/dec/30/books/chi-teen-fashion-sensationdec30">The Chicago Tribune</a>) flocking to her site to read her fawning over high end designers and their collections.<br />
<br />
This frenzy is in no small part due to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/fashion-articles/tavi-gevinson-fashion-review">Harper's Bazaar</a> appointing Tavi its youngest columnist to date, edgy British magazines <a target="_blank" href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/08/another_pop_cover_with_tavi_ha.html">Pop</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://fashionista.com/2009/08/tavi%20love%20style%20rookie%20aw09.php#comments">Love</a> over-dressing her to appear on their respective covers and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/11/natalie-portman-wears-rodarte-for-target/">Target</a> tapping the (just old enough to qualify as a teen) flavor of the month to host a video guide of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/01/target-to-go-is-our-go-to-for-holiday-gifts/">Rodarte for Target</a> collaboration alongside her "friends," designers <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/05/rodarte-ventures-into-menswear/">Kate and Laura Mulleavy</a>. <br />
<br />
Although, we're pretty sure junior high is back in session, Tavi could even be found sitting front row (with her father) at the recent <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/27/haute-couture-spring-2010-the-daily-roundup/">haute couture shows in Paris</a>, blogging for <a target="_blank" href="http://thepop.com/the-pop-blog/">Pop</a> and ticking off fellow attendees -- whose views were obstructed by her <a target="_blank" href="http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/tavi-hits-couture-shows-wears-crazy-hat/15409">giant bow-adorned hat</a> (a gift from famed milliner <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/18/posh-as-american-idol-stylist-blondes-more-aggro/">Stephen Jones</a>, naturally) -- at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/21/giorgio-armani-prive-and-christian-dior-having-haute-couture-catfight/">Armani Priv&eacute;</a>.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it's because the now <a target="_blank" href="http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/2010/01/ugh-some-lyric-with-word-blue-in-it-i.html">grayish-blue haired girl</a> has fashion heavyweights singing her praises, was "guest of honor" at a <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/09/10/comme-des-garcons-new-scent-muse-daphne-guinness/" target="_blank">Comme des Gar&ccedil;ons</a> party in Tokyo and receives high end fashion freebies left and right that her critics have grown in number. <br />
<br />
"<em>It</em><em> sums up the Haters thing altogether</em>," Tavi writes on her blog of the bow hat incident. <br />
<br />
"<em>It is impossible for EVERYONE to be pleased with EVERYTHING. If I wore leather and studs no one would complain, and I'm not sorry for bringing a bit of color into the room. Haters gonna hate...</em>"<br />
<br />
Tavi also doesn't sound very sorry about her headpiece blocking others from seeing the Armani show, as she recently told The Fashion Informer that one of <a target="_blank" href="http://thefashioninformer.typepad.com/informer/2010/02/random-questions-fortavi-g-.html">her favorite fashion week memories was</a> "... meeting Stephen Jones and him giving me a hat and saying its knocking-people-in-the-face abilities were like old Dior dresses that would knock everyone's ashtrays over when the girls in them would spin." (Well, consider ashtrays knocked.)<br />

While Tavi herself is rather harmless (though, let's face it, her overdone avant garde getups often warrant serious eye rolls), we've just become anti the whole Tavi phenomenon. <br />
<br />
Our irritation mostly stems from the absurdity of fashion's biggest players anointing a 13-year-old blogger the next big thing and inserting her into an adult world that she has little business being a part of. <br />
<br />
And maybe, at the core, having a 13-year-old seated in the front row and treated as a fashion expert, when she doesn't even have a fraction of the experience the seasoned journalists around -- or now behind -- her possess, is what really gets us. <br />
<br />
We think this is the point <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/06/jennifer-lopez-shows-off-her-amazing-body-at-40-in-elle-magazine/" target="_blank">Elle</a>'s Fashion News Director Anne Slowey was trying to get at when she recently told <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/12/tavi_the_13-year-old_fashion_b.html" target="_blank">New York Magazine</a>: "People in fashion are constantly looking for the next unique boundary-pushing extreme thing to get excited about, but, you know, it's like outsider art. What am I getting out of a 13-year-old's opinion about fashion? How does that help me distill the collections? What am I supposed to be buying? That's what an editor's job at a magazine is." <br />
<br />
Although <a href="http://fashion.elle.com/blog/2009/12/i-dont-hate-tavi-tempest-in-a-tutu.html" target="_blank">Slowey soon after tried to take back her statements</a> (apparently nobody likes to look like their picking on a 13-year-old), we think she hit the nail on the head. <br />
<br />
"Unfortunately we live in a culture that sees children as novelties," <a href="http://www.passionateparenting.net/page/page/5403681.htm" target="_blank">Susan Stiffelman</a>, a family therapist and author in Malibu, Calif., tells <a href="http://www.passionateparenting.net/page/page/5403681.htm" target="_blank">StyleList</a>. "We do it with actors and kids that are singers. But people dismiss the long-term impact on the children." <br />
<br />
"It's inevitable that she'll have a crash," Stiffelman says of Tavi. "But it's very unlikely that she has the internal emotional equipment to cope with the negatives and the absence of all of that praise and attention." <br />
<br />
Based on her observations of fashion and sometimes witty prose, it's clear that Tavi is wise beyond her years. But we just hope she's mature enough to recognize the fickle world she's playing in. Because, as <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2009/11/20/victorias-secret-fashion-show-rocks-new-york-city/" target="_blank">Heidi Klum</a> says, one season you're in and the next you're out. <br />
<br />
In other words, it's sort of like high school.<br />
<br />
Note: Despite Tavi recently <a href="http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/2010/02/blowing-every-time-you-move-your-teeth.html" target="_blank">writing on her blog</a>, "I want to be a part of a discussion that has pinpointed me specifically," within a longer diatribe about "bloggers vs. editors" and a warning that she'll be wearing more big hats during New York Fashion Week (read it all <a href="http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/2010/02/blowing-every-time-you-move-your-teeth.html" target="_blank">here</a>), the young blogger did not respond to our requests for an interview.<br />
<br />
What do you think of Tavi's icon status in the high stakes world of fashion: Is it harmless or potentially damaging? Let us know in a <strong>comment</strong> below.<br />

The authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.
