Guardian- Jimmy Choo’s latest high-low collaboration will be with Ugg
Those who are fans and sport the bulky boots often look like they’ve broken both legs (and feet) and have been walking around with muddy casts on for over a month. Caked with latte drippings, trash slime splashes and street funk plainly visible on the pale color of these brick shaped shoes, says of the wearer to the general public, “Meh. Sex Appeal, Shmex Appeal.”
Jimmy Choo seems to be sharing the same sentiment as of late. On the heels of the recent launch of a line for H&M, Choo has given up on designing the “it” luxury shoe and moved on to the sh*t shoe. Says Jimmy, Meh, why bother?

Really, Chanel? Online? You're not even going to make me walk into one of your boutiques and face shame from the sales associates when I say "Uh, one temporary double "C" logo tattoo, please?"
Is this the same Chanel who never holds sales and the same Chanel who sent out a memo to all editors and anyone using the Chanel name? Yes. In fact it is. In July Chanel issued this letter:
Now, anyone who can scrounge up $75 can wear the double “C” logo on their left breast which can be exposed nicely in that pleather bustier. Or maybe even worn on around the ankle with your new "Chanel-ed" clogs from Steve Madden?
Don't get me wrong, I admire Chanel. Who doesn't? But if I wanted to spend my monthly metro pass money on body advertising then I'd just go to Chinatown and get fake gold "Chanel-ized" earrings.
And if you’re really into branding yourself with luxury, just go to your tattoo artist buddy and have him permanent ink right over top the temporary version. Just remember to “take the trademark seriously.”

WWD- Here is my link to the Golden Globes coverage .A bunch of celebrities wore designer dresses to an awards show and people held umbrellas for them.
New York Times- It was uncovered that New York City law enforcement agents were destroying ceased counterfeit goods including unworn clothing and shoes. In the past, these goods were donated to the needy, in which the non-profit organizations would remove labels and deface logos before distributing.
Im confused. I thought poor was in fashion? Apparently Vivienne Westwood doesn't mind who wears her clothes. I love Westwood, but, holy sh*t! Shopping carts and bed rolls on the runway? *Politically Incorrect Alert!* Alert!* Did you need to be so literal? Couldn't you have just hinted like the store display at Barney's or the W magazine spread? Or even an Olsen?
The Observer - The MTV store that sat conveniently next to lines of screaming tourist teens waiting to wave at pop stars under the now defunct TRL studio is closing.
The "malling" of New York continues as the frat-boy-in-training mall chain Aeropostale plans to move into the old MTV Store space. Next to Billabong, across the street from the soon to be Forever 21, and down the street from Gap. The food court choices are The Olive Garden, Planet Hollywood and Red Lobster. No really, the Never Ending Pasta Bowl tastes different in New York.
