Joe Mimran (right) and his look-alike doll

*Sigh* Why must companies tease us by trotting out cult-y items that we want to own, but cannot actually buy? Case in point: Joe Mimran just had a Ken doll made in his image to celebrate Joe Fresh Style’s current line of Barbie merch. The doll has Mimran’s signature hair and is dressed in his signature blazer and open collar shirt and his signature velvet slippers complete with their signature crest. It’s so covetable. And so one-of-a-kind. Boo. Read more »

Breaking news: Conan O’Brien looks good in jeggings

By Jennifer Campbell | December 3rd, 2010 | 11:53 am

Comments

Short story shorter: Tim Gunn was on Conan Wednesday night. O’Brien declared that he’d love to do a whole show while wearing jeggings. Last night, he did. The talk show host did a little jig and then later, Khloé Kardashian told him he needed to work on his bum. Our thoughts: Conan O’Brien has pretty nice legs, but we never need to see them again sheathed in faux-distressed leggings.

We’re heading into a municipal election in Toronto, but one thing people haven’t really talked about is the fate of style in this city. Who is looking out for the fashion follower, the shoe obsessive, the lipstick lover? Tom Ford, that’s who.

Okay, not really Tom Ford, obviously–though we did call it after we saw his new womenswear line–but someone posting under the Twitter profile @MayorTomFordTO. But a girl can dream, so let’s consider the candidate based on his campaign so far. Read more »

Chanel released behind-the-scenes images from their Fall 2010 campaign on their blog yesterday showing Freja Beha Erichsen and Abbey Lee Kershaw cavorting in the Lower East Side wearing a whole lot of fake fur. Karl Lagerfeld has Kershaw draped across a fire escape in furry pants or across a male model in full Sasquatch drag. In that shot, Kershaw is wearing a shorts suit and knee-high furry boots, an outfit that raises a question similar to my husband’s problem with half-sleeve coats: What weather is this appropriate for!? My answer: Who cares!

Fashion news: Victoria’s Secret sued, Jeanne Beker on stage and Kanye West’s leather pants addiction

Victoria’s Secret is being sued by shoe company Valley Lane Industries for US$48 million. The company claims that VS forced a Chinese supplier, who had worked with the smaller company for 25 years, to end their partnership so that the lingerie brand could work with the supplier exclusively. Says a lawyer for Valley Lane: “Victoria’s Secret has done everything they could to put them out of business.” Trouble in diamond-studded paradise? [NYDN]

But things aren’t all bad for VS. They’ve recently launched a new bra, the Incredible, and to celebrate, Chanel Iman, Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton appeared on Fox & Friends, where they had the arduous task of explaining the new brassiere to two male anchors. See the exchange above. [Huffington Post] Read more »

The L.A. Sheriff’s Department has said that Lindsay Lohan could be released as early as Sunday, and speculation is already underway about the star’s all-important jail-to-car look. For what is surely one of the most photographed occasions of a young girl’s life, stylist and ballet-flat designer Phillip Bloch already has a look in mind: Read more »

Kate Moss to hire a home shaman

By Jennifer Campbell | July 27th, 2010 | 11:18 am

What do you do if you have a leaky sauna, a missing Banksy and a flooded kitchen? If you’re Kate Moss, you hire an exorcist. After a string of bad home luck–a robbery with a stolen work by the artist Banksy, a sewage flood that caused £100,000 damage, the sauna troubles and bad electrical–Miss Mossypants is reportedly bringing in a shaman to fix her clearly haunted house. “Her fella Jamie Hince is a believer in the supernatural and has persuaded her there is bad energy in the house which needs to be removed by a shaman priest,” a source to Britain’s Sun newspaper. “She has found one who will perform a ceremony to cleanse the place.” While she’s at it, she should have him spirit away tabloid drama and rid her of the spectre of dust bunnies.

Dreams come true: Jeremy Scott appears on Y&R tomorrow!

Jeremy Scott makes subtly dressed appearance at Fenmore's Department Store

I haven’t watched my favourite soap, The Young & the Restless, in years (as in, when Christine Blair was still Cricket), but I’ll be setting my PVR tomorrow for New York designer Jeremy Scott‘s trip to Genoa City. There are no details, other than this photo and the news that Scott will portray a designer–an outlandishly-dressed one, by the photo above. We presume that Lauren Fenmore will be buying up Scott’s fashion-inspired  fall collection (fashion inspired by itself in indeed soap-operatic) for her department store chain. In fact, we bet that back when she was stealing Phillip Chancellor III, trashy Nina Webster would have stashed a few Scott’s Pebbles Flinstone spring pieces stashed somewhere in her wardrobe.
