- Another Alexander Wang employee has jumped on the legal bandwagon, suing the designer for being subjected to sweatshop labor conditions. And I supposed if everyone jumped out of a burning factory after working a 90-hour week they would do that too. [NY Post]
- Noted…Brit dude Piers Morgan thinks Kate Moss is “a vile little creature,” it seems, because she kicks him every time she sees him. Some people are so sensitive. [Telegraph]
- Jennifer Lopez breaks out her best smolder for the April cover of Vogue for the third popstar– is that what we’re calling her these days? — in a row to be featured this year. [Fashionista]

The skinny stiletto has gone on a long walk for the fall 2012 season, replaced by chunky heels with a more masculine edge. Boots fall in two lengths — ankle length or thigh-high, leaving the mid-calf field all but bare. And black, unsurprisingly is big, but burgundy is a strong color for the season as seen on the runways for Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Wang, Derek Lam and Diane von Furstenberg, among others.

When Joan Goodman moved from NY to Hawaii back in the 70′s, she didn’t know that the best friend she made there would become the inspiration and namesake of her future jewelry company. Pono means: In Perfect Order, Beneficial, Necessary (among other meanings), and having had a Pono necklace for approximately one week, I can tell you it is all of those things. While Joan runs her family’s button manufacturer, Bobbi Trim, where Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam, Thakoon and Vera Wang all get their buttons, she’s put her brand and resources to work creating sustainable and beautiful baubles. With Italian resins, natural wood, shell and horns, she makes would-be heavy jewelry feel light as air.

The mix that makes up Derek Lam’s pre-fall 2012 collection is really quite bizarre in a silent way. A line up of low waisted pants, to a new blend of floor sweeping skirts. The colors that mostly consist of olive greens, mustard yellow, some red, blues, and some pretty solid prints, are a plate of borderline fall ready but not quite there sort of feel, which can be considered perfection for any fashion baby whose almost ready to take on the fall.

- Now this is a story all about how..this happened. The majority of the cast from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, including Willow Smith‘s dad, reunited last week for cousin Hilary’s charity and some much-needed family time, although Geoffrey and the Aunt Vivs were sadly not present. [Huff Po]

- Songstress/screamstress/tacky tranny extraordinaire Adam Lambert was arrested Thursday morning in Helsinki, Finland following a row with his trashbox boyfriend, Finnish Big Brother winner Sauli Koskinen. The gals got into it outside of the gay bar DTM — Don’t Tell Mama, naturally — and passersby who tried to intervene were subjected to a good ole face-clawing. [E!]

Oh goy! While all of your gentile friends will be off with their families on December 24th celebrating the birth of baby Jesus, you, the Jew, will most likely be chowing down on Chinese food and catching a flick at the theater. This isn’t discrimination – those are my plans, too. The only questions that remain: where to go and what to wear? We’ve scouted out a few restaurants all over town, wherever your priorities lie. Authentic food? Open seating? Free wine?? Yeah, we’ve got you covered. Merry Christmakah.

We all know Lindsey Wixson must be worth a trillion bucks as she shows it off very well in the October 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar US. Photographed by Terry Richardson it’s no surprise that she looks seductively gorg! Styled by Brana Wolf, miss Lindsey rocks red ensembles from the likes of Lanvin, Donna Karan, Michael Kors and Derek Lam.

There’s a definite consensus around the FashionIndie office regarding this season at the tents: lackluster. Gone was the excitement and the thrill of the new and in its stead stood a circus comprised of the old guard impatiently appraising the crop of would-be streetstyle stars and the army of bloggers hanging about as they waded through the muck of the nameless and the irrelevant to find a collection onto which to pin their ever-dwindling hopes . Still, there were a few shows that set the five barely-beating hearts of FashionIndie racing and had our backs aching to be clothed in their bright and bold designs.
