While I was a complete ignorant of all things Chloë Sevigny and her very-important-designer self, it seems she really rounds the highest circles of fashion!

Miley’s fashion designer career starts right around the corner, at your local Wal-Mart!

Don’t plan anything for this Friday! Book a flight to Paris and get in line for the sale of the season! Olivier Theyskens’ designs from Nina Ricci will be available for as little as 40 euros ($55) in a special sale that’ll clear any Theyskens trace from Nina Ricci. Not so sad, but so true, [...]
