>> For your Tuesday evening blues:

RUMOR:  Carine Roitfeld may be taking Glenda Bailey's EIC position at Harper's Bazaar.  Would she really just jump ship like that?  I kind of like that she's doing a French magazine, and not an American one.

RUMOR:  Anna Wintour is asking Sofia Coppola to guest edit one of Vogue's fall issues (September or October) to coincide with the release of her movie, Marie Antoinette.  I feel like this idea could actually have potential.

TRUTH:  Kate Moss is back in the Burberry saddle again --  she will appear in the upcoming campaign with Stella Tennant and other unnamed models.  How about ixnay the Kate and bring on the Felicity Gilbert?  Or someone else... anyone... not named Kate.

>> Get excited:  Topshop is branching out to LA, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.  But the question remains: what good will having a Topshop do (or any discount shopping store, for that matter) if the Council of Fashion Designer of America gets what it wants: legal protection for fashion designs for three whole years?

>> Meryl Streep has been quoted many times over as saying she did not model her The Devil Wears Prada character after Anna Wintour.  Apparently the set designer didn't interpret the character the same way...

>> Sass & Bide may be the first Australian label that comes to everyone's lips, but not for long.  New York Magazine magazine breaks down the breakout up-and-comers from Down Under as such:

(left to right) Jayson Brunsdon = a young Yves Saint Laurent.  Jayson Brunsdon is no YSL (yet, anyway).  He has some nice pieces, but his work is definitely my least favorite of this bunch. 

Lisa Ho = Vera Wang.  I was discouraged by the dress in the picture and the comparison choice, but don't let it fool you.  I'm no Wang fan, but Lisa Ho has some beautiful pieces.  Her fall collection almost has a bit of Anna Sui in it -- that 70's boho that Sui captures, but more sophisticated, so it doesn't feel done.  There's a wool cape that stands out in my mind.

Josh Goot = Helmut Lang.  His spring collection stands out way over his fall collection in my mind -- the palette of blues, greys, metallics and a tinge of yellow = love. 

Lover = Marc Jacobs.  Lover has been on my radar for a while now.  Enough said. 

Kirrily Johnston = Proenza Schouler + Jil Sander.  Beautiful beautiful minimal pieces -- very clean, very cut.  Her fall collection is my favorite, but there's this great hoodie top from her spring collection that caught my eye.
