Jessica Stam is “glued” to her bed and missing Paris Fashion Week. Send get well messages! [@jess_stam]

Christophe Decarnin’s Balmain is having “Me Tarzan, You Jane” moment for spring. [The Cut]

Tim Gunn may not like the whole Lindsay Lohan/Ungaro thing, but apparently it’s all his fault. Also, rumour in the Twitter-verse is that some buyers have declined invites because of Lohan’s involvement. Even if that’s true, we bet that show is going to be a mad house.

What do you think of Fast’s decision? Do you want to see more realistic sizes on the runway? Tell us in the comments! Read more »

A beleaguered Christian Lacroix is “absolutely” going to have a couture show in July. Of his company’s troubles, he adds: “To a certain extent I am paying for not having done what everyone else did, with their logos and It-bags. I never went down that route.” [Telegraph]

Holt Renfrew will unveil their fashion blogger-inspired windows this Friday in Toronto. Muses include Scott Schuman of the Sartorialist, Jane Aldrige of Sea of Shoes and hometown faves Tommy Ton of Jak & Jil and Anita Clarke of I Want-I Got. [Final Fashion] Read more »
