Dior Has, Like, the Most “Liked” Posts on Facebook

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

A little scandal never hurt anyone. Just ask Bernard Arnault and the folks at Chrisitan Dior. While Converse is the most liked brand on Facebook with over 22 million fans, Dior’s 6.5 million fans ain’t nothing to sneeze at; particularly since more than 153,000 of them liked the posts Dior added in January. Compare that to the 100,000-plus post likes at Converse and it looks like quality trumps quantity — a first in Facebook’s short but trashy history.

Karlie Kloss Steps Out a Lady In Vogue

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

We’ve been laboring under the impression that Karlie Kloss had her coming-of-aging party in that naked yet demure Allure spread by Mario Testino. Now, months later for March 2012 Vogue, she emerges as a lady. Fully attired in the most ladylike of looks. Swathed in Chanel, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino Cheap & Chic ($665 for a sequined cardi – neither that cheap nor chic… I digress), and some other of Queen Anna Wintour‘s all time favorite advertisers designers, Karlie looks like the proper woman of the house. Strong. Do you see those poses? She’s matrixing in stilettos, her body is practically horizontal in some, captured moving through space on an arched foot. It’s called WERQ.

The 10 Most (and Least) Oscar-Worthy Gowns from Haute Couture Fashion Week

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

As many a starlet is aware, looks don’t always translate well from the runway to the red carpet. Nowhere is this more true than in haute couture. Sure, this gown costs $35,000, was constructed by a team of half-blind old ladies whose skills are so specialized they can be classified as endangered species and contains actual diamonds, but Joan Rivers still thinks you look like a refugee from some drag queen concentration camp. No, events like the Oscars require a little discretion and the simpler you keep it, the better. Of course, there are exceptions, but not every actress is a Charlize Theron, a Cate Blanchett, a Nicole Kidman or a Tilda Swinton — risk-takers who can pull off haute couture with the greatest of ease. For the rest of ‘em, here are 10 safe gowns sure to please along with 10 only the brave of soul and intrepid of style should even consider.

Doo.Ri Doing it Right for Macy’s

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Yesterday, Doo.Ri fêted the completion of her line for Macy’s Impulse. Following Karl Lagerfeld‘s almighty Chanel suit, she’s next in the throttle for a release at Macy’s. The collection embodies her masculine crispness with feminine textures, and the good news is, aside from two jackets, the entire collection is under $100! We caught up with Doo.Ri and asked about the Unkle Karl and her upcoming collections.

Barbie Trashes Her Dreamhouse

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Who knew Barbie was a hoarder and her Dreamhouse a sh*thole? Inspired by TV shows like Hoarders and How Clean Is Your House?, artist Carrie M. Becker put together this miniature trashed living space to link the doll’s overconsumption lifestyle with a hoarder’s reality. The details are astonishing and actually quite disgusting, which is why we are obsessing over it. Looking at the photos is like a Where’s Waldo? game. Can you find the Chanel and Gucci bags?
