- American Apparel continues to lose money while pervy CEO Dov Charney continues to rake it in with a $10 million paycheck. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. And for AA, that’s apparently herpes. [The Cut]

- Taiwan’s Eva Airlines allows you to fly in style, that is if you have the style of a 13-year-old Japanese schoolgirl. Eva’s line of Hello Kitty-branded airplanes is basically JetBlue on a potent combination of acid, ketamine and adorable. [Buzzfeed]

Aline Weber Rocks Out with Her Couture Out in Vogue Japan

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Just one look at Aline Weber in “The Girl Who Rocks the Planet” from the latest issue of Vogue Nippon and it’s immediately  evident who styled it. Living Bratz doll Anna Dello Russo has her kooky claw prints all over this editorial, shot by Giampaolo Sgura in arcades and on the streets of Tokyo. The lion heads, the Balmain, the Cavalli, the Versace, the statemenet eyewear and headgear — disco ball motorcycle helmet anyone? — it all speaks to Dello Russo’s fashion-is-fun/more-is-more aesthetic as well as her own personal style. I mean, I’ve feel like I’ve seen the lady herself in a number of these looks, or at least will in the near future. Take a saunter with Aline through the land that Hello Kitty built in “The Girl Who Rocks the Planet.”

Edited by Nicole Vardo

We definitely know Forever 21 has taken over almost about every area of “fast” fashion to another level, but I wasn’t aware of these commercials. They’re quite great, mixing glitter and accessories into a bowl is total genius, if only baking an outfit in five seconds part was real life!

What to Wear to Make You a Streetstyle Star

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

There are three occasions I look forward to, in terms of getting dressed. First and foremost, is my annual gaycation to Provincetown, during which the booty shorts cum denim panties too risqué for even Chelsea and the sequined leggings too “say-something” for a work look are paraded about on a daily basis. More recently, I’ve gotten into Halloween just for another excuse to wear a heel. And then of course, there is Fashion Week. It’s a battlefield out there; survival of the chicest. The ante has been further upped by the explosion of photoseekers running around, snapping pics of the best-dressed stomping in and out of shows. So how do you catwalk in front of the lens and into the hearts of the new social anthropologist — the streetstyle blogger? Here are 5 looks to get you noticed.

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Rebecca Bonbon isn’t your everyday pet bulldog. This adorable little pooch knows how to live, travel and shop in style. From her penthouse overlooking Central Park, Rebecca lives an ultra-luxurious life. Her personal chauffeur assures she shops at the finest boutiques on Fifth Avenue and in SoHo via the comfort of her limo. She never misses a show at Fashion Week and doesn’t travel without her private jet. But where did Rebecca come from? How does she live such a charmed life? I got a chance to ask Yuko Shimizu, creator of Rebecca Bonbon and the legendary Hello Kitty these questions and more. Check out our interview after the jump.
