UGG Australia opened its new boutique last Thursday in a party hosted by Vogue (seriously). The celebration was marred, however, when a riot broke out between Jersey soccer moms and NYU undergrads who couldn’t wait to get their French-tipped claws on the overpriced, glorified booties.

American’s in Europe have just been warned of a potential terrorist attack to take place during Paris Fashion Week, but for a group that manages fitting size double zero models, six season fashion cycles and Andre Leon Talley feeding time this is a walk in the park.

This is soooo weird, but I am thoroughly entertained. Only Courtney Love could come up with such a strange masterpiece. The “Best Line Award” goes to cartoon Karl Lagerfeld when he tells us exactly what a Birkin Bag is:
“And darling that Birkin looks fabulous, but it’s just a dead cow.” You can watch the video here.

Fashion’s Night Out has given me one more reason to highly anticipate its imminent arrival. Or rather two, in the form of these Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington rag dolls, by Brooklyn-based artist Andrew Yang.
Barney’s commissioned the dolls, which were hand sewn and painted over the course of two weeks and they will be auctioned off starting Aug. 31 through charitybuzz.com. All proceeds benefit The New York City Aids Fund.
Bravo.
Meanwhile, where’s the Andre Leon Talley doll? Yang says that Anna’s and Grace’s looks were both his “own take on their signature look.” I guess it would’ve taken too long and too much material to throw together a Chado Ralph Rucci mini-great coat and cerulean Gucci loafers.
But I still would have appreciated an attempt.

“And what did we see but Anna being carried down the stairs. The bodyguards had made a fireman’s lock and were racing her from landing to landing. She was sitting on their crossed arms.” – Tim Gunn recant’s on Wintour’s refusal walk down 5 flights of stairs at Peter Som.

“We (speaking of Philip Treacy) had not hugged since Isabella Blow‘s funeral three years ago, and he shared fabulous news: He has a producer to do a film on Isabella, and Galliano has already confirmed to play himself. Who will play Isabella? Treacy has a great trick up his hat, and it’s going to rock the world, but he cannot reveal it until this major new talent confirms.” -Andre Leon Talley

Crystal Renn walked twice, confirming rumors, for the Chanel Cruise collection presented yesterday in St. Tropez. Georgia May Jagger ended the show on a motorcycle. Also in appearance, Karolina Kurkova who walked barefoot, and Andre Leon Talley who almost stole the show in a giant green cape.
