Forget Ryan Lochte and the poor coverage of the Olympics for a minute and check out the must-reads of the week!
WHAT ARE THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN UP TO NOW?
Women’s gymnastics was on last night, and we couldn’t help but remember the moment the “Magnificent Seven” won gold in the 1996 Olympics. See what they’re up to now over at Lovelyish.
SAVED BY THE BELL FASHION INSPIRATION
If you’re like us, you were disappointed that high school wasn’t like Bayside High. Honestly, who didn’t look up to poofy haired Kelly Kapowski or Lisa Turtle? College Fashion did an inspiration article on the late 80s/early 90s styles from the California girls who got to smooch on our boo Zach Morris.
JESSICA BIEL IN DIOR…THOUGHTS?
Everyone’s been talking about Jessica Biel making a red carpet appearance in the Raf Simons debut Dior couture dress. Is the necklace too heavy? Why couldn’t they cut the length of the dress? Who is her stylist? And lastly, does she look gorgeous (pstt…she always does)? P.S. if you wanna see someone who looked stunning in Dior, see Rachel Weiz.
SJP ON GLEE, ALEXA CHUNG ON GOSSIP GIRL
Sarah Jessica Parker is guest starring on Glee with a headlining stylist for her show stint— Anna Wintour. We’d probably tune in for Wintour more so than SJP, but we’re surprised that the Vogue Editor-in-Chief would even be a part of the show. Meanwhile, Alexa Chung is set to play herself when she guest stars on Gossip Girl.
KATIE HOLMES PRESENTING AT FASHION WEEK
WWD confirmed that Katie Holmes will be presenting her line for Holmes & Yang during fashion week. The date is Saturday, September 8 at 9 p.m. with no set location yet. The time is actually a bit late, so we’re wondering if the secret location is just… The Box at Lincoln Center.
FRIENDSHIP TIP: 5 MINUTE PHONE CALLS
Once you and your friends all have full time jobs or are way on the other side of the state or country, it’s hard to keep up with each other’s lives! That’s why we’re totally trying Joanna Goddard’s friendship tip on five minute phone calls.
STYLE INSPIRATION: MIROSLAVA DUMA
If you read our recent article on the 12 most watched style mavens during fashion week, you should also check out Iris and Daniel’s feature on Miroslava Duma. A fashion writer and major risk taker when it comes to fashion with a unreplicable sense of style— she’s definitely one to watch come September!
WHITNEY PORT WANTS DONATIONS TO PUT ON FASHION SHOW
Reading about the Whitney Eve “charity” to put on a show during fashion week also made us wonder… why is she asking for money?
CURATORS CONFERENCE
We’re so proud of our friends over at Portable TV and Svbscription who are putting on their first conference on September 5, the day before fashion week starts, with guest speakers such as Susie Lau and Gia Coppola.
FAKING IT
A recent photoshopped cover of duchess Kate Middleton on Marie Claire has sparked a bit of controversy about the line between journalism and… fan art? Read about it at The Genteel.
COMIC STYLE
While we don’t think these comic inspired items are as cool as Jeremy Scott’s Simpsons Fall/Winter 2012 collection, we wouldn’t mind having that POW sweater in our closet!
