Kate Moss

It's pretty much all lies.
by It's pretty much all lies. I'm engaged, I'm married, I'm divorced, I hate [the Mighty Boosh comedian] Noel Fielding — where the f*ck has that come from? I bought Kate a Fabergé egg, I wrote a song for her and put it in a frame and gave it to her for her birthday, we danced on Jim Morrison's grave, we had a massive orgy at the Dorchester and the soundtrack was No Wow [the Kills' second album] . . .

Alexander McQueen Femmes Up Milan

>> Instead of opting to do a by-appointment presentation like some designers or a full-blown runway show like other designers, Alexander McQueen chose to present his Resort 2009 collection yesterday in Milan along with his men's Spring 2009 collection because "they both go into the shop together."

>> Instead of opting to do a by-appointment presentation like some designers or a full-blown runway show like other designers, Alexander McQueen chose to present his Resort 2009 collection yesterday in Milan along with his men's Spring 2009 collection because "they both go into the shop together."

He also wanted to play up the importance of resort season — get this — it makes up about 60 percent of his business. Given that fact, expect to see lots of the body-conscious cocktail dresses with neon punches, illusionary prints, japonisme-inspired motifs, and Margiela-like colorblocking in the next couple of months.

Full gallery of all 13 looks below.

Gisele Brings Her Clip Back to Sao Paulo
>> As promised, Gisele Bundchen returned to her old stomping grounds in Brazil yesterday to stomp the Colcci runway during Sao Paulo Fashion Week. She is spokesmodel for the brand, and returns to Brazil every season to kick off their runway.

Naomi Campbell was reportedly also scheduled to walk at Saolo Paulo Fashion Week during the Rosa Cha show on Saturday, but as we well know, she chose to do Dolce & Gabbana Men's instead.

Resort Roundup from Resort 2009

Resort Roundup From The Network

Because we know you'll probably need a straightforward women's wear fix, and because Resort lasts forever, here's what's happening with vacation frocks and whatnot.
by meganzanke Because we know you'll probably need a straightforward women's wear fix, and because Resort lasts forever, here's what's happening with vacation frocks and whatnot. Our Network Partners are covering Resort happenings diligently, giving up images and impressions of who is putting out what and why they like it. From London, I Am Fashion, rounds up top picks from Resort 09. Namely, from the likes of Phillip Lim, Nina Ricci, and Lanvin. If there were ever a palatable list for a young chicster, ranging from least to most expensive, it would be this one. Fancy a break down of Louis Vuitton's Resort 09 preview? Our Network Partner, Shiny Style, has images of the neon striped shorts, guazy silky numbers, and jewel detailing from the collection. She aligns it with Resort offerings from the likes of Lanvin and Balenciaga, whom she credits as having the more interesting designs. We should hope so, eh? If Phillip Lim starts blowing Oscar de la Renta out of the water we'll start wearing birkenstocks and move upstate. Otherwise, J'adore Couture does Lanvin, Shiny Squirrel does Alexander McQueen, and Trust Your Style does a bit of Temperley, Rowley, Malandrino, and the like.
