Vogue

>> THE MODELIZER — Add New York Models' Janeil Williams to the growing list of girls appearing in the July 2008 all-black issue of Vogue Italia.  From Jamaica, Janeil is definitely one of the lesser-known girls to be booked for the job, but she shot for Vogue two months ago, so that may not be the case for long.

Karl Lagerfeld

>> YSL TRIBUTE —Since he did not attend Yves Saint Laurent's funeral earlier today, Karl Lagerfeld sent an arrangement of orchids and roses along with a note that read, "Pour Yves, Un souvenir de nos annees de jeunesse," which translates to "For Yves, a souvenir of our youth." [Chic Report]

There is one thing I’ve started to realize: I have a lot of tarts who like to wear my shoes to look chic, and a lot of elegant women who buy them to look a bit like tarts, it goes both ways.

Oh, the Colors!

>> I think this editorial from Dazed & Confused's June 2008 issue might win the award for longest title ever: "Clouded In Tulle, Regal Tones And Polka Dot Cocktail Dresses This Eccentric Debutante Rules The Manor, Seducing Suitors With Her Signature Look Of Pearls, Feather Boas And Opera Gloves."But don't think too hard on it, the beauty of this set is not in the title, but rather the vividly saturated colors — they remind me of those you see in Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott's work, except not quite as airbrushed.
