Known for her crazy outfits and antics—like showing up to the Grammys in an egg—we aren’t shocked by Lady Gaga’s cover for the newest issue of Visionaire Magazine. Styled by her BFF Nicola Formichetti, she appears as an oil-slicked mermaid—standard fare for the pop star, really. What is outrageous, however, is the magazine’s literal take on the issue’s theme of larger than life. The deluxe issue measures in at 5×7 feet (yes, that’s taller than the average human) and costs a cool $1,500. (The standard issue is a measly 3×4 feet in size, and much more affordable.) It should go without saying the size has broken a Guinness World Record. Read more »

They said/We said: Brad Kroenig’s 3-year-old son only wears designers
Barely out of a crib, model offspring Hudson Kroenig has already starred in a Fendi campaign and walked the Chanel runway with dad Brad Kroenig. He’s also bffs with Karl Lagerfeld and even sleeps with an “Uncle Karl” doll gifted by the designer. (We’re not sure if this is adorable or creepy.) It seems that all eyes are on the little guy so naturally, Hudson got The Coveteur treatment.

They said/We said: Karl Lagerfeld to launch a new and affordable signature line in February
Karl Lagerfeld fans rejoice! The designer is introducing a more affordable line called Karl launching on Net-a-Porter in January and on his own site in February. The line, with pieces that will run from $85–$415, is described as “rock” and “street” and will feature lots of denim, leather, fingerless gloves, and silvery jeans, which isn’t a far stretch from Lagerfeld’s daily attire. If dressing like Lagerfeld isn’t enough for you, various items of clothing from the line will feature Lagerfeld’s silhouette, including the waistbands of underwear.
Lagerfeld will also introduce a higher end line, Karl Lagerfeld Paris, that will target Europe, Asia, and China, and only be available in select stores in North America. No word yet if this line will include underwear.

The fashionable ways of Steve Jobs: We present Apple’s top 5 fashion moments

Since yesterday’s sad news about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs’ passing, it seems everyone has been mourning the loss in some shape and form (a tribute song blasted from your iPod? A sad phone call placed from your iPhone? A sad collage made on your iPad? The possibilities are endless). While it may not be as clear a fashion connection as the loss of Alexander McQueen, we got to thinking about the numerous ways the industry has changed because of Apple inventions. Here are five:

They said/We said: Carine Roitfeld held a vampire-themed costume party last night in Paris

Has True Blood fever hit France? In celebration of Carine Roitfeld’s new book, Irreverent, she held a vampire ball in Paris last night where fashion’s biggest stars were expected to dress up and get into character. Naturally, some were more enthusiastic than others. Riccardo Tisci showed up with fake blood dripping from his mouth and Anna Dello Russo wore a Stephen Jones X Giles scarlet swan feather headdress that she described as “aggressive.” Other partygoers like Kanye West and Karl Lagerfeld dressed as per their usual. Perhaps they didn’t get the memo. Perhaps Kanye was still mid-fit.
Is Roitfeld is a Bill or Eric fan? We’re hoping the latter.

PFW diary: Up close and personal at Chanel, Lanvin, Balenciaga, and Yves Saint Laurent
Sculpted bags that mimic pearly seashells at Chanel; a cross-sectional view of a jacket’s shoulder pads at Lanvin; treated silk so slick you’d swear it was leather at Balenciaga; and intricately embroidered ruffles at Yves Saint Laurent. When it comes to decadent details in a collection these French heavyweight houses win hands down.
