>>  I am flabbergasted.  WWD is reporting that the Rochas fashion label is expected to close.  After all the fantastic collections Olivier Theyskens has been producing, what a disappointment.  But back to the real world, eh, where a financial loss is a financial loss, regardless of quality of product.

>>  This is why I love Sasha.  She takes a fur coat, hunches herself over, and comes out looking like some kind of urban werewolf.  Perfect with Miuccia's vision for the collection.  I was so-so about the new ad campaign until I saw this shot.  No wonder Prada keeps using Sasha.

>>  Only two years after Sex and the City's last episode (may it rest in peace), HBO is reportedly exhuming the idea -- for a reality-based show, which "will follow the lives of a group of glamorous and dynamic girlfriends in their 20s, living in Manhattan."  A few "fashion it-girls" have already been contacted to participate.  I'm going to cross my fingers and hope hope hope that this show turns out well -- I miss having my SATC fix.
