>> Andre Leon Talley on Golden Globe Fashion; Plus: Are Designers Ruining Their Market By Loaning Dresses for Red Carpet Events? —After Cathy Horyn tore into this year's Golden Globes fashion a couple of days ago, Andre Leon Talley, too, wrote about his frustration yesterday — his post started with: "When you start watching red-carpet shows at 6:00 pm and don’t see a stunning dress until 9:00 pm — Julianna Margulies’s ruby paillette crepe robe de style with cutouts, by Narciso Rodriguez — it’s sad what passes for style in Hollywood."  But speaking of red carpet fashion, Decades' Cameron Silver, in speaking to Fashionista, brings up an interesting point: "It’s a little frustrating to watch the fashion industry, they’ve basically lost their bread and butter, which is rich people and celebrities buying clothes, by just loaning everything out [for red carpet events]."

>> While gearing up for the premiere of her reality show Kell on Earth on Bravo Feb. 1, Kelly Cutrone conducted a conference call for press today. One journalist asked Cutrone, who runs full-service PR agency People's Revolution and twice a year finds herself making sure her clients' runway shows are running smoothly, how she deals with Fashion Week crashers and seat-changers:

I mean . . . You'll see on the show I do not have a lot of patience for crashers. It happens a lot at Bryant Park. It makes me crazy when they clog up the line. Those front row seats end up costing like 300 to 500 dollars. Those are the money seats. All of a sudden I've got [New York Times critic] Guy Trebay standing there, who is really lovely — but he'll just split. I don't want to be the person standing backstage getting fired because Women's Wear Daily or the New York Times reviewer just left because they couldn't find a seat. I also do my new favorite thing, the walk-away. When people are just trying to convince me and I just walk away. Also the slide . . . where you just don't say anything. And just slide away.

>> Prada, Richemont Rumors Persisting —Two weeks ago, a report that luxury conglomerate Richemont (whose properties include Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Chloe) was taking a stake in Prada; Prada emphatically denied the notion.  But Business of Fashion's Imran Amed reports today from Berlin Fashion Week: "Sources here in Berlin say the Prada and Richemont rumours are true, despite firm denials from Prada." If that's the case, a Prada-Richemont marriage could create quite the competitor for Richemont rival LVMH. [@_BOF_]

>> A couple of days ago, Coco Rocha announced that in addition to covering red carpet for ET Canada at the Grammys Jan. 31, she will also be wearing her "very first creation" from her upcoming collection: "My team and I have been hard at work getting the dress together these last few weeks. Just this morning we had another fitting and I have to tell you, it has been so wonderful to see the picture in my head find its way into reality."

She hasn't yet revealed the name of the collection, but she did post a picture suggestive of her first design — left. And last night, she chatted with Chic Report about her designing state of mind.

"I love the 1800s, costume-y, but elegant, Victorian-inspired clothes." »

>> Marisa Miller No Longer With Victoria's Secret; Candice Swanepoel a New Angel? —Marisa Miller, who has been a Victoria's Secret Angel since 2007 and was chosen to wear the $3 million Fantasy Bra during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at the end of last year, is said to no longer be working with the brand. Her rep didn't respond to requests for comment. Word is Candice Swanepoel may have taken her place, based on her new "Angel Profile" on the official Victoria's Secret Facebook page. [NY Post, Victoria's Secret Facebook]

UPDATE: It seems that reports of a Marisa Miller-Victoria's Secret split are false; Victoria's Secret president and chief marketing officer Ed Razek just released the following statement: “The rumor regarding Marisa Miller and Victoria’s Secret parting ways is unfounded and untrue. We adore Marisa and we will continue to work with her in the future.” [People]
