aleXsandro Palombo never fails to tickle us with his creative, tongue-in-cheek illustrations of fashion industry heavyweights, but we are particularly excited about his latest works of art. When we saw these Simpsons caricatures of people like Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington and Coco Chanel, we couldn’t help but laugh out loud and reminisce about America’s favorite animated family. Click to see all the brilliant works.

Versace has been gaining momentum these past few months after first announcing a collaboration with H&M, and it doesn’t show signs of stopping. For the February 2012 issue of Vogue Nippon, models Lindsay Ellingson, Simon Nessman and Vika Falileeva are decked-out in the brand from head-to-toe with colorful hair to match by Oribe. Though not reaching the racy heights of our favorite vintage Versace ads, photographer Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele did a fine job with Keeping the Faith and giving us the attitude we can always expect from stepping into a full-on look from Donatella. Gallery after the jump.

‘Twas one hell of a year for fashion, 2011. Alexander McQueen triumphed this year thanks to a pair of well-documented dresses and a bona fide cultural phenomenon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Christian Dior 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 25 most memorable and stylish moments of 2011.

Lines forming from Los Angeles to Tokyo. A high-profile fashion show featuring Prince and Nicki Minaj. The entire collection selling out within minutes of going on sale. Donatella Versace moving her face for the first time in decades. Twas a highly successful collaboration between H&M and Versace, one the retail chain will no doubt find hard to replicate. Although that doesn’t mean it’s not going to give it a try when H&M’s next diffusion line with Marni hits 260 stores and the interwebs in March.

Your holiday season gets redundant. You go to the same place, eat the same food and do the same things every year. Switch it up this holiday with an exotic vacation to one of our favorite hotels. Sleep on designer beds, relax on a beach or ride Santa’s reindeer. Bring your family, your bestie or your beau because this holiday, you’re celebrating in style.

If you exercised a degree of sanity and sat out the shopping shitshow that was Versace x H&M over the weekend, your sagacity might pay off after all. Beginning January 19, Donatella Versace has designed a spring pre-collection to go on sale in countries where H&M offers e-commerce, including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. No word yet on America, but there’s always the completely unreasonable option of eBay.

Miss Piggy has been hogging the fashion spotlight for quite some time, but now it’s time for all the Muppets to step out in style. Have designers like Tom Ford, Rick Owens, Versace and Michael Kors been secretly inspired by the Muppet clan? We think so, because we found a whole ton of muppet doppelgängers on the runway. They took over Good Morning America this morning, and now they’re taking over FashionIndie. What with all this media, once they’re done saving their theater, maybe they can help save Fashion Week.
