Behold a glamorous woman. She wears opera gloves to dinner. Hats just because. She has her suits custom made. She uses a muff. She is a Lady in Waiting in the 1950s, and she’s showcased in Elle next month. In fishtail skirts by Zac Posen and Donna Karan, suits by Oscar de la Renta and Armani styled by Christopher Niquet, Susie Bird is captured stunningly by photographer Thomas Whiteside. It’s a glimmer of hope that women can once again be utterly perfectly tailored in outfits akin to yore, yet still reign in our feminist ways.

Fashion’s very own Auntie Mame, Anna Dello Russo, styled a short film for Giorgio Armani starring a luminescent Karolina Kurkova entitled Back Damon. Like most fashion films it makes little to no sense but the clothes are amazing. It’s especially worth viewing for Anna’s expression during a face-off with Karolina that says, “I don’t know what’s going on or where I am, but frankly I don’t care because I’m in couture right now, thanks.” Video after the juuuuuuuuuump!

Old people are really mean. Case in point: Giorgio Armani. First he bitch-slapped Prada‘s and Dolce & Gabbana‘s men’s shows, calling them ridiculous and blaming the press for not blowing up their spots for being clownish clothes that no man would wear (I totes would).
