Hells Angels sue McQueen, Lara Stone wins her French Playboy lawsuit, and Lily Allen’s Pretty Woman moment| Hollywood yohana




Hells Angels has a bone to pick with Alexander McQueen. The motorcycle club is suing the label for misusing its trademark winged death motif on ring and a handbag.
Lily Allen spoke to The Telegraph about her ‘Pretty Woman moment’ when she walked into an upscale boutique after becoming “a newly wealthy teenager.”  She recalls: “All these snooty shop assistants were staring at me as if I couldn’t afford their clothes so I bought way too much stuff just to show that I could.”
Lara Stone has won her suit against French Playboy, who published nude images of the gap-toothed model without her permission.
Model and Victoria’s Secret angel Selita Ebanks on her first and last meeting with Anna Wintour 10 years ago: ”I had on Timberland boots. I had on corduroy high-water flooded beige pants with a button-down plaid shirt,” she said. “I walk into the office, I got maybe two steps into the room and I look and it’s amazing Ms. Anna Wintour. She goes [makes a dismissive hand gesture] and dismisses me.” Ebanks hasn’t appeared in Vogue since.
The Mona Lisa wore Louis Vuitton? In Jason Alper‘s world she did. The costume designer, stylist and Sacha Baron Cohen collaborator has re-covered classical paintings with the iconic logo for a show in L.A.
Kanye West has dismissed his coterie of models: The outspoken rapper is no longer following anyone on Twitter.
Topshop has recreated Kate Moss‘ bedroom in their flagship shop windows in New York and London to celebrate the supermodel’s final collection for the fast fashion retailer

Do you like Katy Perry’s golden girl look? | Hollywood yohana





L.A.’s Club Nokia hosted a Grammy’s Nomination concert last night, and Katy Perry went in a dress made of gold sequins by Lebanese couturiere Georges Chakra. Once you get past the extreme shine, it’s actually a pretty demure look, especially when paired with such plain–albeit very high–pumps.

Christina Ricci mixes tailored with poufy. Is it a do or a don’t? | Hollywod yohana




Christina Ricci attended the Artios Awards in New York City yesterday and wore a look from the Marchesa Fall  collection. The tuxedo jacket is an eveningwear classic, but the skirt is throwing us off.

Lady Gaga pulls a Daphne Guinness. Do you like her look? | Hollywood yohana




Lady Gaga exited a building today in Paris, where she is set to give two concerts. Gaga wearing clothes is always an event, but–and maybe it’s just the beehive–isn’t she kind of horning in on Daphne Guinness’s steeze?

Gucci moves up the spring show timeslot, leaving London model-less (and our fashion director potentially rushing the gates at Pearson!) | Hollywood yohana





Sandwiched in between New York’s and Milan’s fashion weeks, the organizers behind London Fashion Week have often complained about time constraints in the past but this season has added stress with Gucci deciding to move their Spring 2012 show up to Wednesday, the last day of LFW.
To make matters worse, Gucci had scheduled castings and fittings this past weekend, meaning models had to abandon London in hopes of walking in the high-profile show. A number of shows have been affected including those of Canadian boys Erdem and Todd Lynn, the latter of who lost 10 out of 19 girls who were cast for his show. This hasn’t been the only scheduling conflict this season, either. Many models and editors were late arriving to LFW because Marc Jacobs pushed his show back to Thursday night due to delays caused by Hurricane Irene.
Many designers and casting agents are frustrated and threatening to boycott future LFWs if the British Fashion Council doesn’t intervene, which would be a shame since London is known for showing exciting new designers.

THEY SAID…
Carol White, founder of Premier Model Management: “Only a tiny fraction of them realistically have a shot at being in that show – we all know it will be full of mega girls,” said White. “I find it insulting that a designer like Frida thinks London is so insignificant that she would do that. Where’s the camaraderie?”
The Cut: “Designers and agents are taking it out on London Fashion Week organizers, who they say willingly get bullied by New York and Milan. Well at least Tom Ford and Burberry show in London. As long as they’re there you can pretty much guarantee every important fashion person will be around for however long those take. Maybe London Fashion Week should encourage those labels to bookend the week.”
Fashionista: While we doubt Marc Jacobs and Frida Giannini are on personal missions to destroy London Fashion Week, it’s easy to understand why London modeling agencies might view what they’re doing as “bullying tactics”–most London designers don’t have the resources to compete with them–and want the British Fashion Council to intervene.”
WE SAID…

Susie Sheffman, fashion director: “I’m in line at the airport and will be arriving in Milan just in time for the Gucci show. I certainly hope it’s not moved up any more!
It wouldn’t kill anyone to give the cities a day-long breather in between!”

Marc Jacobs & Anna Wintour on Jimmy Fallon, Karlie Kloss on Gossip Girl, and Erdem gets a British Fashion Award nom | Hollywood yohana




Jimmy Fallon: “What is the new black?” Marc Jacobs: “47.” Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to talk up Fashion’s Night Out, but also covered Jacobs’ shoulder surgery, his “kilt that’s not a kilt,” Vogue’s value per dollar, and banana suits.

Karlie Kloss is the latest in a long line of fashion personalities to appear on Gossip Girl. Kloss will be playing her self in the Fashion’s Night Out episode (of course) which will also include a cameo from Vogue‘s Meredith Melling Burke.
Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga posing as Lady Liberty appear on the New York issue of V Magazine.
Minimalist designer Richard Chai and Original Penguin are the latest to collaborate on a fashion line. The linem which is aptly called Richard Chai for Original Penguin label, will debut during New York Fashion Week.

The CFDA Town Hall, a Rad new line and the offspring of Anna and Karl | Hollywood yohana

The CFDA had a Town Hall meeting last night to discuss the relevancy of out-of-season fashion weeks in the Internet age. But what you really want to know is: What did André Leon Talley wear? “The Vogue editor at large got out in a light gray suit with a small Louis Vuitton man-purse and parked himself at a table by the entrance. He applied lotion to his hands and sent someone out for a cappuccino, skim, with Splenda, at the Starbucks across the street. Once it was delivered, Mr. Talley went into the auditorium and took his seat.” Thank you for just existing, ALT. [New York Observer]
Toronto’s Tommy Ton of Jak&Jil took the photo above for Canadian designer Rad Hourani‘s new line, Rad by Rad Hourani–a more affordable collection that doesn’t veer too far from his drapey, unisex vision.
If you’ve been awake today, you’ll have heard the news that tanning beds, not surprisingly, cause cancer. [Yahoo!]
First the sunscreen and now this: Japan has been blessed with Nike’s new “Will Ferrell” sneaker. The shoes are burgundy, as in Ron.
Gisele’s baby bump has been Photoshopped out of her new London Fog campaign.
There’s a shelf full of shoes, a projector and actual dirty dishes in model Hanne Gaby Odiele’s Chinatown apartment. [Supreme Being]
If They Mated, the Karl Lagerfeld/Anna Wintour edition.
Dear Grazia: Why is the addition of thick glasses automatically “geek” chic (or preppy geek, as you say. Preek? Come on)? Some of us spent many years watching Battlestar Galactica in order to claim this label and we will not just let Cholë Sevigny and Molly Sims just walk into any old Lenscrafters and take it from us. Thank you.

To reach their $400,000 goal, Bloor Street Entertains turns boutiques all over Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood in pop-up restos catered by the city’s top chefs.

Inside the glitzy opening of the National Ballet’s costume retrospective: Legendary ballerinas, magical sleighs and tutus for the try-on | Hollywood yohana





The tutus were out in full force for the official opening of the National Ballet of Canada’s twofold exhibitions celebrating the company’s first 60 years. 60 Years of Designing the Ballet and the Tutu Project debuted with a glitzy reveal at Toronto’s Design Exchange, with everyone from the ballet’s own dancers like Greta Hodgkinson, Tina Pereira and former prima ballerina Victoria Tennant to Jeanne Beker and Vawk’s Sunny Fong raising a glass in toast. The first exhibit, a look back at some of the most notable costumes and sets curated by the company’s former costume designer Caroline O’Brien, came complete with ultra-lifelike dessert tables and a magical blue sleigh from The Nutcracker and several costumes for the wishful dancers to try on and pose with (we indulged, obviously). The second, an assembly of 60 specially designed tutus—one to celebrate each year in business—was displayed throughout the room. Guests seemed to take their toast quite literally, with Kara Alloway in a voluminous Mary Katrantzou lampshade skirt, Karolyne Ellacott in an actual tutu dress and several other attendees sporting pulled-back ballet topknots.
