Donna Karan addressed the effect of the Internet and early fashion shows on the industry. She told the crowd at Parsons The New School for Design last week: “When I launched my company, the shows were in April and May, now they’re in February. So my question to this industry, and I say it to myself for my own company: ‘Why am I showing clothes in February?’ I don’t want the consumer to see next week what is going to be in stores in Fall, because it’s confusing.” [My Fashion Life]

André Leon Talley has signed on to film three seasons of America’s Next Top Model. Replacing Miss J on the judging panel, the Vogue editor and caftan fan brings with him 13 custom-made Chado Ralph Rucci robes and tendency toward sublime ridiculousness. [The Cut]

Burberry is putting on their London fashion show in 3D. Those in London will watch the show live, but fashion VIPs in Tokyo, Paris, Dubai, New York and Los Angeles will be able to screen the show with 3D glasses, but just like the Grammys, you won’t. See it in regular D on February 23 at 4 p.m. London time at live.burberry.com [Grazia]

In addition to his turn-models-into-slashies PR firm, Marc Jacobs’ fiancé Lorenzo Martone is working on a swimwear line with jewellery designer Jules Kim. [The Cut]
