High heels: they’re not just for women, drag queens and the oft-misunderstood transvestite anymore. The New York Times ”Style” section, the only news source of any import, chronicles a trend sweeping the nation — or at least a trend lightly dusting Los Angeles: the gentleman stiletto.

New York University’s Luxury Lab (L2) ranked the digital IQs of 49 fashion brands based on four criteria: web site, digital marketing, social media and mobile platforms. Brands were then classified into one of five categories: Genius, Gifted, Average, Challenged, or Feeble. Class is in session and as usual Burberry is the only one who did their homework.

Louis Vuitton‘s spring 2012 show featured a carousel with models riding side-saddle (of course) and Kate Moss – who, by the way, “asked to be in the show” — closed as she did last season.

In this, the final installment of Quel Scandale!‘s “Fashion Fascists” series (see also: Christian Dior, Coco Chanel and Daphne Guinness), we explore the wartime activities of Louis Vuitton and its role in aiding the Vichy regime, also know as the French puppet government that openly collaborated with the German occupying forces. The details of Vuitton’s involvement came out seven years ago with the publication of Louis Vuitton: A French Saga, which LVMH pretty much tried to ignore. But unlike a crying child, a secret Nazi past isn’t something you can lock in a closet until it passes out from exhaustion.

- Seems like Dior‘s top 3 choices to replace John Galliano have all been ruled out — Haider Ackermann is apparently “way too edgy”; LVMH wants Marc Jacobs to stay at Louis Vuitton; and Riccardo Tisci just doesn’t want anything to do with it – leaving sweatpant provocateur Alexander Wang somehow in the running.

Vogue Germany turned to the golden age of old Hollywood glam to give Fall’s freshest a regal place in history. Crystal Renn plays the part of a starlett well, because she quite is one. In some moments, Fashion Editor Katie Mossmann has turned her Audrey Hepburn, in others a bit Jean Harlow. It’s kind of stunning how Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Lanvin and others fit together now to transport us back to that über chic era.
