Or at least not for Vanity Fair it doesn’t! Gisele Bundchen’s almost nude cover for Vanity Fair May 2009 wasn’t as high seller as expected! Actually, that May issue has sold in only 280,000 copies which makes the Gisele exposée cover the lowest-selling Vanity Fair issue in two years (Vanity Fair averages 342,000 single copy [...]

Behold, there goes Brad Pitt shopping for some serious art items! After last’s year art-pitt-interrogation, now I’m left puzzling about his newest addition: a 1998 painting worth $1 Million he bought from the Art Basel in Switzerland! The 9 foot racetrack painting by Neo Rauch is an oil-image of a Formula one race car with [...]

…for the High Line! Green-white with a bit of gray in it, the High Line Friends Tracks Towel by Diane von Furstenberg is a bit pricey for the green cause: $75. Even so, DVF’s beach towel normally retails around $120 so we should consider ourselves lucky if grabbing a $75 DVF towel! (doesn’t it make [...]

Recession, what? Hermès challenges the young designers for $4,000-worth first prize while they’ve initiated a breeding crocodiles campaign in Australian farms. Because it’s really hard to make 3,000 crocodile bags/year (it takes 4 crocodiles per handbag), bags that end up costing around $48,000/piece!

Fanny Descary, a packaging French student imagined a pyramidal consumer trap bag that’ll make everyone think twice before making the next purchase. (ok, maybe not Paris Hilton, but every intention counts!) While needing far less than we actually [...]

Christian Lacroix’ style may be incredible, but that much mixing touches even the master! Reportedly selling zero clothing articles this year, the prestigious House of Lacroix just filed for bankruptcy, filing $14 Million financial loss in 2008. Is that the end for Christian Lacroix Couture house? the first to hit the crisis-dust? Let us hope [...]

Diane von Furstenberg is an eco-activist! She’s starring (sort of) in a short video aired on the Sundance Channel in support of the green High Line park project. Not too fancy, not too complicated, the warm video tries to convince us we really need that High Line park, that a suspended green ribbon can actually [...]

Still wearing skinny jeans? You should be aware of two things: they’re called skinny for a reason! two: they’re bad for your health! US Doctors warn skinny jeansers about Meralgia Paresthethica, a painful condition of the LFCN (lateral femoral cutaneous nerve passing through your thigh). The burning, tingling sensation of the leg could disappear if [...]
