			<p>- <strong>Tyra Banks</strong> addressed the <a href="http://fashionindie.com/rihanna-420-carine-mac-bryan-boy-top-model/" target="_blank">recent mass firing</a> on <em>America&#8217;s Next Top Model</em> saying that they&#8217;ve &#8220;reached a point where we feel that the show just needs a new boost.&#8221; Yeah, and that boost was called <strong>André Leon Talley</strong>, after which <em>Top Model</em> should&#8217;ve smized its last smize and hunched into obscurity. [<em><a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2012/04/tyra-banks-on-top-models-triple-elimination.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nymag%2Ffashion+%28The+Cut+-+nymag.com%27s+Fashion+Blog+-+New+York+Magazine%29" target="_blank">The Cut</a></em>]</p>
<p>- Now that motherhood has her feeling &#8220;more beautiful than&#8230;ever,&#8221; <em>People</em> has acknowledged <strong>Beyoncé&#8217;</strong>s newfound hubris by naming her the &#8220;World&#8217;s Most Beautiful Woman.&#8221; It also didn&#8217;t hurt that she&#8217;s back to her pre-baby weight. I guess taking <a href="http://fashionindie.com/beyonce-bearing-bogus-baby-bump/" target="_blank">that cushion</a> out from under her Dereon was a laborious process. #Kidding #NotReally [<em><a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20589758,00.html" target="_blank">People</a></em>]<span id="more-240456"></span></p>

<p>- <strong>Calvin Klein</strong>&#8216;s sex clone/ex-porn star boyfriend <strong>Nick Gruber</strong> was arrested for assault, resisting arrest and possession of cocaine after hitting Calvin &#8212; not Klein but some other guy named Calvin he took home that night. And this is why, Mr. Klein, you should class it up <a href="http://fashionindie.com/marc-jacobs-porn-star-iris-apfel-mac-halston-doc/" target="_blank">like <strong>Marc Jacobs</strong></a> and only date <em>current</em> porn stars.

<p>-<strong>Anna Wintour</strong>, <strong>Sarah Jessica Parker</strong> and <strong>Oscar de la Renta</strong> were among the guests to lend their support to <strong>Bill Cunningham</strong> as he received the Carnegie Hall Medal of Excellence. Also in attendance, a couple of cardboard cutouts of the man of the hour.

<p>- <strong>The <em>TIME</em> 100</strong> held its Gala last night and since there was a red carpet <strong>Marchesa</strong> inevitably made a few uninspired appearances. But the best dressed cake went to <strong>Tilda Swinton</strong> (naturally) <a href="http://fashionista.com/2012/04/from-tilda-swinton-to-hillary-clinton-the-best-dressed-on-the-time-100-gala-red-carpet/time-100-gala-times-100-most-influential-people-in-the-world-red-carpet-6/" target="_blank">in a <strong>Céline</strong> jumpsuit</a> (also, naturally).

<p>- The stars were also out last night at the <strong>Chanel</strong> Tribeca Film Festival Artist Awards Program Dinner, including <strong>Kanye West</strong> who shocked &#8212; shocked I tell you! &#8212;  everyone by bringing alleged girlfriend <strong>Kim Kardashian</strong> along for the fun.

			<p>Before he hopped on his legendary bicycle in the notorious blue jacket, snapping photos of fashion&#8217;s evolution, <strong>Bill Cunningham </strong>was a couture milliner. He chose to design under the guise <strong>William J.</strong>, so as not to offend his ultra conservative family. Full of whimsy and feathers and intense, curious joy, many these hats were just a tad too &#8220;exotic,&#8221; as Bill says, for the hats to truly take off sales-wise. We&#8217;ll find out this Wednesday if they&#8217;re too exotic for us in 2012, as 23 William J. originals (mostly owned by his Aunt), will go on sale at <a href="http://1stDibs.com ">1stDibs.com</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-239246"></span></p>
<p><strong>The New York Times</strong> &#8221;high-tech kids&#8221; discovered his past, and had him recount it with Bill Cunningham&#8217;s own images.

			<p>Oh, the future. It seems like only yesterday that <strong>Al Gore</strong> invented the internet and cellphones were the size of universal remotes. But look how far we&#8217;ve come! The latest technological advance proves what streetstyle pioneer <strong>Bill Cunningham</strong> says &#8212; &#8220;The best fashion show is always on the streets.&#8221; &#8212; allowing you to shop the looks of your favorite streetstlye photos from the comfort of your smartphone. Introducing <strong>Kaleidoscope</strong>.<span id="more-231108"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Saba-Salehi.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-230305" title="Saba Salehi" src="http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Saba-Salehi-560x749.jpg" alt="Kaleidoscope App Lets You Shop Streetstyle Photos" width="560" height="749" /></a></p>
<p>Through a collaboration with <em>Modelinia</em>, Kaleidcoscope launches today on Android with versions for the iPhone and iPad expected soon.  With the app, users can see about 10 results from different stores for each clickable item.  “Sometimes it’s the exact look. It’s similar to the idea of the look for less that people do in fashion — but it’s not just about a cheaper thing,” explained <strong>Sarah Kunst</strong>, director of business development for Kaleidoscope. “It can be a more expensive or a similar version.”</p>
<p>What do you think, kids? Does this sound like something you&#8217;d be interested in? And does anyone else feel Sarah Kunst has a particularly unfortunate last name?

			<![CDATA[
			<p>Last Friday, <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/nicolevardo" target="_blank">Nicole</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/mcarthurjoseph" target="_blank">Mac</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/CrystlMeatballs" target="_blank">Amanda</a></strong> helped me pick out a suitable black tie outfit to attend the <strong>New York Botanical Garden&#8217;s 12th Annual Winter Wonderland Ball</strong>. Considering the majority of my wardrobe consists of  harem pants and the occasional billowy blouse, my closet was ill-equipped to meet the challenge. Thus we made an Indie field trip over to our local <strong>H&amp;M</strong> and in a matter of minutes we had <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/CrystlMeatballs/status/145216242716917760" target="_blank">whipped up a say-something formal look</a> &#8212; all for under $200, thank you. I was glad we had made the detour as, upon walking in, I was immediately confronted by a room full of gorgeous gowns and immaculate tuxedos. The Bronx, even in the <a href="http://fashionindie.com/its-ok-to-be-fooled-by-the-rocks-that-shes-got-jennys-not-stepping-foot-on-the-block/" target="_blank">alleged claws of <strong>Jennifer Lopez</strong></a>,  had never seemed so glamorous. <span id="more-221886"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://ficdn.fashionindie.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/13-WWB-tent-dancing.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-221896" title="The New York Botanical Garden 2011 Winter Wonderland Ball" src="http://ficdn.fashionindie.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/13-WWB-tent-dancing-560x373.jpg" alt="FashionIndie Straps on Its Glass Slippers to Go to the Ball" width="560" height="373" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Nina Garcia</strong>, <strong>Tinsley Mortimer</strong>, <strong>Derek Warburton</strong>, <strong>Charlotte Ronson</strong>, <strong>Chris Benz</strong> and <strong>CNN</strong>&#8220;s <strong>Alina Cho</strong> were among the well-appointed attendees, while liquor sponsor <strong>Domaine de Canton</strong> kept the ballers well lubricated with a host of refreshing cocktails. <strong><a href="http://fashionindie.com/the-top-25-fashion-moments-of-2011/8-bill/#gallery" target="_blank">Bill Cunningham</a> </strong>donned his best &#8212; and in all likeliness, only &#8212; tuxedo to capture the scene, including the 20th Annual Holiday Train Show. Calling it a&#8221;Train Show&#8221; is a bit of an understatement since the Garden&#8217;s Enid A. Haupt Conservatory was turned into a miniature train town, featuring the most stunning scaled-to-size architecture I&#8217;ve seen since <strong>Barbie</strong>&#8216;s Dream Italian Villa.</p>
<p>Besides an excuse to dress up and be fabulous, the Wonderland Ball also supports the Garden’s world-renowned Children’s Education programs, allowing children of all ages, particularly underserved children in the Bronx, an opportunity to learn about nature in engaging ways through workshops and hands-on activities. While it may sound like a very serious and somber affair, the night was a blast, particularly after the DJ took to the turntables. There&#8217;s nothing quite like seeing a stately woman in a feathered gown shaking her tail-feather to <strong>LMFAO</strong>.</p>
<p>Click through the gallery for images from the Winter Wonderland Ball &#8212; courtesy of <strong>Patrick McMullan</strong> and <strong>Will Raggozino</strong> &#8212; and try your hand at Domaine de Canton&#8217;s signature cocktails with these handy recipes:</p>
<p><strong>Etlingera</strong></p>
<p>1 ounce of Domaine de Canton topped with Champagne. (served in a champagne flute and Garnished with a Wild Hibiscus flower)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The Winter Gold Rush&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>1.5 Ounces of Domaine de Canton</p>
<p>1 ounce of Makers 46</p>
<p>Half ounce of fresh lemon juice</p>
<p>(Shaken and strained into a martini glass and garnished with a luxardo cherry)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The White Orchid&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Equal parts (1 ounce ) of Domaine de Canton, Belvedere Citrus Vodka, White Cranberry juice. ( Shaken and strained into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnished with a white orchid flower )</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<p>&#8216;Twas one hell of a year for <strong>fashion</strong>, 2011.  <strong>Alexander McQueen</strong> triumphed this year thanks to a pair of well-documented dresses and a bona fide cultural phenomenon at the <strong>Metropolitan Museum of Art</strong>. <strong>Christian Dior</strong> tried to rebound from a potential PR nightmare, to varying degrees of success. Diffusion lines easily out-shined their designer homes.  An editrix reinvented herself amidst a sea of rumors without losing a beat.  And underaged fashionistas grew up in front of our very eyes. Here are our picks for the<strong> 25 most memorable and stylish moments of 2011.</strong> <span id="more-221084"></span></p>

<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/25-beyonce.jpg' width='650' height='850' /></p><p><strong>25. <a href="http://fashionindie.com/and-the-messiah-cometh-beyonce-is-knocked-up/" target="_blank">Beyoncé at the VMAs</a></strong>

How does an internationally-renowned pop diva announce her <a href="http://fashionindie.com/beyonce-bearing-bogus-baby-bump/" target="_blank">alleged pregnancy</a> with as little -- and yet as much -- fanfare as possible? Why in <strong>Lanvin</strong> and <strong>Dolce and Gabbana</strong>, of course. Cupping her burgeoning baby bump on the red carpet, Bey let loose the dogs of publicity war when she thew her mic to the ground, ripped open her Dolce jacket, and announced to the world the coming of the Messiah.</p><h1>25</h1>

Everyone's still waiting to see who Dior picks to take the throne and if Galliano can make a comeback after such a devastating fall.

			<p>The drama of the business, the transcendent beauty of the clothes, and the backstabbing bitchery of the fashion world have always been popular subjects in film.  Whether it’s a satanic editor with a taste for Italian couture, a young fashionista dining with diamonds, or a group of disenfranchised queens hoping to set the City of Lights ablaze, these 10 movies are the greatest odes to fashion.<span id="more-219974"></span></p>

<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/paris-is-burning.jpg' width='1900' height='1210' /></p><p><strong>1.</strong> <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100332/" target="_blank">Paris Is Burning</a> </em>(1990)

Set amidst the backdrop of 80s New York ball culture, <em>Paris Is Burning</em> is an exploration of beauty, race, sexuality, capitalism and the American Dream, all wrapped up in a dragtastic homage to the <em>trans</em>formative powers of fashion. Also, where do you think <strong>Madonna</strong> learned to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuJQSAiODqI" target="_blank">Vogue</a>?

<strong>See Also</strong>: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114682/" target="_blank"><em>To Wong Foo -- Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar</em></a> (1994) Drag queens, yes; acute social commentary, not so much...but how can you argue with <a href="http://www.moviemobsters.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/to-wong-foo_l.jpg" target="_blank">this</a>? Oh, that's right, you can't.</p><h1><strong>1</strong> </h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/the-september-issue.jpg' width='1280' height='720' /></p><p><strong>2.</strong> <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1331025/" target="_blank">The September Issue</a> </em>(2009)

Step inside the hallowed halls of the fashion Bible that is U.S. <em>Vogue</em>. We get a rare glimpse of the woman behind the bob and <strong>Chanel</strong> sunglasses, as <strong>Anna Wintour</strong> admits with a palpable hint of regret that the distinguished members of her family think what she does is "quite funny." But it's <strong>Grace Coddington</strong>'s bleeding artistic heart that stays with you throughout.

<strong>See Also</strong>: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1621444/" target="_blank"><em>Bill Cunningham New York</em></a> (2010)
<strong>Bill Cunningham</strong>, legendary streetstyle photographer for the <em>New York Times</em> has a Puritanical simplicity to his life but a couturier's eye for trends and detail that is documented in this tender portrait, featuring the likes of Wintour, <strong><a href="http://fashionindie.com/carmen-dellorefice-proves-that-fierce-knows-no-age-limit/" target="_blank">Carmen Dell'Orefice</a></strong>, <strong>Anna Piaggi</strong> and <strong>Michael Kors</strong>.</p><h1><strong>2</strong> </h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/breakfast-at-tiffanys.jpg' width='1920' height='1080' /></p><p><strong>3.</strong><em> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054698/" target="_blank">Breakfast at Tiffany's</a> </em>(1961)


Though not necessarily a film about fashion, <em>Breakfast at Tiffany's</em> is the quintessential fashion film. <strong>Audrey Hepburn</strong> as<strong> Holly Golightly</strong> continues to teach and inspire girls and certain boys everywhere on how to be chic, how to be urbane and how to live fabulously in New York -- or at least how to pretend. And there has never been a more iconic <strong>Little Black Dress</strong> ever put on screen.

<strong>See Also</strong>: <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059084/" target="_blank">Darling</a> </em>(1965)<em>
Darling</em>'s Diana Scott is the British, unapologetically wanton version of Holly Golightly. A morally-suspect fashion model who sleeps her way to the top, Diana still manages to come off as a naïve and sympathetic character -- despite exhibiting behavior to the contrary -- thanks to <strong>Julie Christie</strong>'s Oscar-winning portrayal.</p><h1><strong>3</strong></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/unzipped.jpg' width='480' height='360' /></p><p><strong>4.</strong> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114805/" target="_blank"><em>Unzipped </em></a>(1995)

Sure, there are other backstage, behind the curtain, beneath the bustle documentaries of fashion designers, but none are as stylish as <strong>Isaac Mizrahi</strong>'s <em>Unzipped</em>. When Isaac was the new, young It designer on the block; when <a href="http://fashionindie.com/the-25-greatest-supermodels-of-the-past-50-years-the-80s/" target="_blank"><strong>Naomi, Cindy, Christy </strong>and<strong> Linda</strong></a> ruled the catwalks; when <strong>Eartha Kitt</strong> was still alive and purring --<em> Unzipped </em>documents the height of 90s fashion, right before the balloon went bust.

<strong>See Also</strong>: <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1176244/" target="_blank">Valentino: The Last Emperor</a> </em>(2008)
Whereas <em>Unzipped</em> follows a designer in the earlier stages of his career, <em>The Last Emperor</em> observes a master -- <strong>Valentino Garavani</strong> -- as he takes his final bow with his partner of 50 years by his side, <strong>Giancarlo Giammetti</strong>.</p><h1><strong>4</strong></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/funny-face.jpg' width='1666' height='1270' /></p><p><strong>5.</strong> <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050419/" target="_blank">Funny Face</a> </em>(1957)

Audrey Hepburn makes a return to the list, but this time she is the unlikely model Jo Stockton, a bookworm with an unconventional look that inspires love in photographer Dick Avery, played by <strong>Fred Astaire</strong>. A fantastic set of photoshoots and gowns by <strong>Hubert de Givenchy</strong> are the main attractions, but <strong>Kay Thompson</strong> as salty editrix Maggie Prescott could give <strong>Miranda Priestly</strong> a run for her money.

<strong>See Also:</strong><em> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032143/" target="_blank">The Women</a> </em>(1939)
Though <em>Funny Face</em> features a climactic runway show, <em>The Women</em> spared no expense in shooting its nearly 10-minute fashion show in color, despite the entire film being in black and white. Do not mistake this classic with that awful remake <strong>Diane English </strong>regurgitated a few years ago.</p><h1><strong>5</strong></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/mahogany.jpg' width='570' height='378' /></p><p><strong>6.</strong> <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073335/" target="_blank">Mahogany</a> </em>(1975)

Arguably <strong>Diana Ross</strong>'s greatest cinematic achievement -- if only for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdpOfUVnlYw&amp;feature=fvst" target="_blank">this</a> -- <em>Mahogany </em>chronicles the rise of supermodel Mahogany from the slums of Chicago to the runways of Paris and finally to international acclaim as a designer in her own right, only to give it all up for the man she loves...a move Ms. Ross would openly spit upon, but which she plays with considerable believability.

<strong>See Also</strong>:<em> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123865/" target="_blank">Gia</a> </em>(1998)<em> </em>
While Mahogany is a fictional supermodel who dabbles on the dark side, <strong>Gia Carangi </strong>was the real thing whose excesses eventually got the best of her. The film is best remembered, however, for launching<strong> Angelina Jolie</strong> to stardom, thus ensuring<strong> Jennifer Aniston</strong>'s lifelong ire. <em>
</em></p><h1><strong>6</strong></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/clueless.jpeg' width='1200' height='808' /></p><p><strong>7.</strong> <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112697/" target="_blank">Clueless</a> </em>(1995)

What can one say about<em> Clueless</em>? The perfect teen movie, it's infinitely quotable -- "You're just a <em>virgin</em>...who can't...DROIVE." -- and is there a character with as enviable a closet as <strong>Cher Horowitz</strong>? Bonus points for first introducing me and perhaps a majority of the world to <a href="http://stylebakery.com/celebstyle/images/alaia.jpg" target="_blank"><strong>Azzedine Alaïa</strong></a><em>.
</em>

<strong>See Also</strong>: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397442/episodes#season-2" target="_blank">The 2nd Season of</a><em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397442/episodes#season-2" target="_blank"> Gossip Girl</a> </em>(2008-2009)<em>
</em>With the possible exception of <em>Mean Girls</em>, there hasn't come along a teen movie as smart or as witty as <em>Clueless.</em> But in terms of style, the second season of <em>Gossip Girl</em> rose to the challenge, making fashion icons of <strong>Blair Waldorf</strong> and <strong>Serena Vanderwoodsen</strong>, as well as their real-life counterparts, <strong>Leighton Meester </strong>and <strong>Blake Lively</strong>.</p><h1><strong>7</strong> </h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/blow-up.jpg' width='1122' height='1500' /></p><p><strong>8.</strong> <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060176/" target="_blank">Blow-Up</a> </em>(1966)

<strong>Michelangelo Antonioni</strong> captures the mod mood of 60s Swinging London as a hedonistic fashion photographer -- played by <strong>David Hemmings</strong> -- tries to figure out whether or not he accidentally snapped a murder. In the film's most famous scene, <a href="http://fashionindie.com/the-25-greatest-supermodels-of-the-past-50-years-the-60s/" target="_blank">6'1 supermodel <strong>Veruschka</strong></a> writhes around the set of a photoshoot as Hemmings <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wygqlfUoJEs&amp;tracker=False" target="_blank">makes love to her with his camera</a>.<em>
</em>

<strong>See Also: </strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053779/" target="_blank"><em>La Dolce Vita</em></a> (1960)
If <em>Blow-Up</em> swings,<em> La Dolce Vita</em> sways. <strong>Federico Fellini</strong>'s romantic portrait of Rome is as sleek and stylish as protagonist Marcello Rubini's suits.</p><h1><strong>8</strong></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/devil-wears-prada.jpg' width='1400' height='929' /></p><p><strong>9.</strong> <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/" target="_blank">The Devil Wears Prada</a> </em>(2006)

It's a matter of public record that <strong>Lauren Weisberger</strong>'s roman à clef was based on Anna Wintour -- who famously wore <strong>Prada</strong> to the film's opening -- but what the film accomplishes (okay, let's be real, what <strong>Meryl Streep</strong> accomplishes) is creating not only one of the greatest villains, but also one of the greatest fashion icons, in modern cinema.

<strong>See Also</strong>: <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1000774/" target="_blank">Sex and the City: The Movie</a> </em>(2008)
A completely unnecessary production and by the loosest definitions an actual "movie," <em>Sex and the City</em> also benefited from <strong>Pat Field</strong>'s brilliant styling. But unlike <em>The Devil Wears Prada</em>, there was no Oscar nomination for attiring Carrie and Co. </p><h1><strong>9</strong></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/zoolander.jpg' width='1200' height='791' /></p><p><strong>10.</strong><em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196229/" target="_blank">Zoolander</a> </em>(2001)

Everything benefits from a parody -- rather, everything benefits from a <em>good</em> parody, Though <em>Zoolander</em> is far from perfect, it's a fun and funny romp through fashion's ridiculous playground; complete with walk-offs, an evil <strong>Galliano</strong>-esque designer in Jacobim Mugatu and the introduction of <strong>Blue Steel</strong> into the cultural lexicon. And lucky for us, <a href="http://fashionindie.com/brush-off-your-best-blue-steel-zoolander-2-is-totes-happening/" target="_blank">there's a sequel</a> in the works thus righting everything with the world.

<strong>See Also</strong>: <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0889583/" target="_blank">Brüno</a> </em>(2009)
Taking off where <strong>Ben Stiller</strong> catwalked off, <strong>Sacha Baron Cohen</strong>'s flamboyant character traipsed through America, <em>s</em>preading his questionably fashionable and gratuitously gay, booty-shorted self from sea to shining seaman.</p><h1><strong>10</strong></h1>			]]>

			<p>The drama of the business, the transcendent beauty of the clothes and the backstabbing bitchery of the fashion world have always been popular subjects in film.  Whether it&#8217;s a satanic editor with a taste for Italian couture, a young fashionista dining with diamonds or a group of disenfranchised queens hoping to set the City of Lights ablaze, these 10 movies are the greatest odes to and about fashion.</p>
<p><span id="more-195168"></span></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100332/" target="_blank">Paris Is Burning</a> </em>(1990)</p>

<p>You know how sometimes you go to a party all dressed up and hope that someone takes your photo so that the next day it shows up on one of these awesome street style blogs? Well, at the Louis Vuitton party held at the Natural History Museum, Bill Cunningham stalked me and took hundreds of photos of my outfit, my darling shoes, and my miniature hat, all of which I bravely wore on the subway coming from the Bronx. I searched for days, almost weeks, to find at least a glimpse of myself on the NY Times Style section, to only today find my butt featured in a men&#8217;s style video&#8230;Of course, welcome to my life!</p>

<p>Some expeditions are so rare and fantastic that they merit a huge celebration forty years later—as was the case for last night’s Louis Vuitton party honoring Buzz Aldrin (above left) and the first successful voyage of man onto the moon.  My own expedition—across the park to the Upper West Side to the Museum of Natural History—was decidedly less buzz-worthy, but I can almost guarantee my destination was more fashionable than Neil Armstrong’s forty years ago.</p>
<p>Because Louis Vuitton is one of the few luxury brands surviving—and thriving—during the recession, it is to be expected that they throw over-the-top, lavish parties that compete with the bacchanals of ancient Rome—after all, who’s left to do it?</p>
<p>I arrived early and the atmosphere outside was unexpectedly calm—no ravenous party crashers frothing at the mouth for their free Moët.  Usually I walk the step-and-repeats, but I took one look at the gigantic carpet with a cluster of video crews at the end and decided to pass.  I imagined later that it would have been one small step for me, and one giant rattling of my fragile nerves.</p>
<p>Downstairs was still mostly empty and so the full selection of hors d’oeuvres could be enjoyed without the terrible despair that ensues after you trail one of those handsome cater waiters, only to find that their silver platter has been pillaged.  Food, however, lost all value when I spotted Bill Cunningham in his signature blue windbreaker, darting rapidly around the room with his camera like a lone ranger.  I positioned myself strategically and waited.  Sure enough, my outfit was blessed with Mr. Cunningham’s approval in the form of a few camera flashes and I quietly checked off another achieved goal on the running list I keep in my mind.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52255" title="g276258e8e139f9ee7bd39a6efad378c80e7f8817ebfd17" src="http://fashionindie.lookbooks.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/g276258e8e139f9ee7bd39a6efad378c80e7f8817ebfd17.jpg" alt=" Louis Vuitton Celebrates Man on the Moon " width="382" height="603" /></p>
<p>The first celebrity I spotted was Cassie—immediately recognizable by her half-shaved head, which on one side makes her look like a glamorous goddess and on the other, like a Thai lady-boy.  I assumed from the star shape etched into Cassie’s bald side that she was she was celebrating the celestial occasion in her own special way.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52252" title="g276258605f558a3c924f01aa0bed3bf5d6a658e55132de" src="http://fashionindie.lookbooks.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/g276258605f558a3c924f01aa0bed3bf5d6a658e55132de.jpg" alt=" Louis Vuitton Celebrates Man on the Moon " width="399" height="586" /></p>
<p>Shortly after, Whitney Port arrived.  Almost immediately, a steady stream of strangers approached Whitney—all wanting a piece of the reality star.  I was guilty of this as well—but at least I was fabulously dressed, so it was excusable in my mind.  I went up to the delightful Ms. Port, who’s bubbly and beautiful in person.  I asked if she ever had dreams of being an astronaut while growing up.</p>
<p><em>“You know, I think everyone somehow thinks in one way or another that being an astronaut is so whimsical and amazing, but I don’t know, after fourth grade, learning about the whole solar system and doing a report on Venus, I was fine just settling with that.” </em></p>
<p>I couldn’t bait her on what she’d do if she were locked in a space shuttle with her City</p>
<p>co-star, Olivia Palermo. <em> “I’d make it work,”</em> she said.  <em>“I’m not like that; I’m not territorial.” </em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52251" title="g27625823aaf968ab14251292d48180646959bbd632b7c5" src="http://fashionindie.lookbooks.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/g27625823aaf968ab14251292d48180646959bbd632b7c5.jpg" alt=" Louis Vuitton Celebrates Man on the Moon " width="368" height="599" /></p>
<p>The most interesting interaction that night I had observed was not Buzz with the president of Louis Vuitton North America on the grand staircase, but rather between Whitney and Jessica Szhor (Gossip Girl) when the latter had arrived.  Despite having ostensibly never met before, Jessica made her way over to Whitney and introduced herself.  It made me wonder whether the famous share some sort of supernatural bond with one another.</p>
<p>Jessica was wearing Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 shoes—the ones with the sky-high crazy heel that looks like an hourglass—and that, come to think of it, wouldn’t look out of place as moon shoes.  I posed the same question to her.</p>
<p><em>“I think I was always a little bit too scared of what would happen, but I think it would be amazing to go to the moon and that’s the one place I’d want to go to that’s crazy and far away because people have made it back.” </em></p>
<p><em>“If you could go to the moon, who would you take with you?”</em> I asked her.  <em>“My mamacita!”</em> she cooed.</p>
