According to The Cut:

“Lohan, without warning, rose from a banquette in a sunken section of the club and sent a drink — still in its glass — sailing over the wall and directly at a cocktail waitress…Just when it seemed things couldn’t get stranger, the lights came on and the music went off. “She’s bleeding!” yelled a man at the bar. Medics surrounded a brunette woman, lying with her black sheer-stocking-ed legs elevated on a white leather couch, adjacent to where Lohan had been sitting. When they lifted her up to place her on a stretcher, the back of her black dress was soaked in blood. Broken glass, a security guard confirmed after she had been rolled out. By then, the crowd had thinned out.” [The Cut]

Joan doesn’t believe in the JRE (“That is such nonsense.”), but she does believe in speaking her mind:

“No one says anything bad [about celebrities] — they’re not going to say, ‘Your ass is too big, and you shouldn’t be wearing that color, and you look like a fool.’ You can’t say that so what’s the point of doing the red carpet?”

Luckily we have her dishing out the sass on E!‘s Fashion Police weekly. And that sass comes from a loving place – where that place is I could not even begin to guess, but it’s full of love. As proof, Joan admits that she is worried about the direction certain starlets are taking in their wardrobe selection:

“…[T]hey’re all trying to copy Lady Gaga. You want to say to Katy Perry, ‘You’re beautiful! You’ve got the body, wear a pretty dress. You don’t have to strap electrical stuff on your dress.’”

If anyone should say something to Katy Perry, it’s Joan. I want her swooping down from the rafters, gathering that slutty pop tart in her talons, imprisoning her in Neiman Marcus and showing her what a lady looks like. For, despite her dirty mouth and caustic wit, Joan Rivers is a classy broad:

“I am very formal. I mean, I’ll sit down with finger bowls. I think you should sit down, and a meal should be an event — it should be pretty. Everything should be pretty. Life is very rough, and I think you should make everything around you as lovely as possible.”

This from the same woman who called Betty White a “schemey little bitch.”

Where does this money come from, you ask?

Well, most of his revenue comes from ads on his blog. However girl does make some coin on charging fees for appearances.

And where does this money go, yo ask?

Right up his nose.

NY Mag and and The Wall Street Journal might compare them to lederhosen, but any way you look at it, leather shorts were all over the Spring 2010 runways. From Chloe to Yves Saint Laurent and Emilio Pucci to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row, leather shorts, whether high-waisted, bermuda style or hot-shorts, are as trendy as ever. The best part about this trend? They can be dressed up for a classy androgynous look or dressed down to emulate last year’s trendy biker-chic.

Entire Rodarte for Target collection with prices available on NY Mag. Don’t know about you guys, but I’m excited. I do have to say that the model is a bit scary…

The rumors are a swirling people! The Cut is reporting that Mr. Thom Browne is going bankrupt due to pricing problems. This story also said that the menswear designer was having trouble finding financial backers to keep him from going under. Following all this mess, WWD Men’s came out saying that Browne has denied these rumors, and is doing quite well.

I don’t know who to believe! I feel like that boyfriend who doesn’t know who to trust, his best friend or his girlfriend, when he hears she’s been macking on other dudes. I know one thing, I don’t want to see Mr. Browne go! He is one of the greatest designers of our time, and plus who’s suits will I buy when I finally have enough money to afford a good one?

What do you think indies, is Browne on the down and out? Or is this a little white lie from The Cut?

New York Magazine is saying goodbye to LOOK, their biannual fashion week magazine. Kind of sad, but if I really wanted to see emaciated runway models from fashion week, I’d just head online.

Recently, NY Mag asked Project Runway’s Tim Gunn of his opinion on the prospective First Lady’s of the United States. Gunn boldly replied that he clearly prefered the fashionable Michelle Obama. Gunn is not merely discussing the two women’s fashion sense. He insightfully intertwines fashion choice with character    

“Michelle really epitomizes American style, and she’s not afraid to show her shape, she’s not afraid to show her sexiness without being the least bit inappropriate,” Tim said. “She’s just an alluring woman. And Cindy with her suits and she’s all buttoned up, she’s just soooo — she just looks like she’s duct-taped! There is just something about her, and in a way it’s a metaphor about who she is!”

Thanks to NY Mag for the info!

Raquel Zimmerman is the star of the Sept issue of Vogue French. Shot by fame photographer Ryan McGinely and obtained by Gold Digger, this spread leaves us with much to question.

First, why is she wearing crocs in a Vogue issue? NY Mag also pointed this out, and we agree…Where was Carine Roitfeld when this was shot? Cuz even Lady Wintour wouldn’t allow this..

Secondly, why does she look like Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil? With cave like backgrounds and zombie like expressions.

Lastly, Raquel is one of the most beautiful and stunning models on the runway, so why did the photographer make her look so coked out? She clearly is not the best for this type of spread. I understand that she is a model and must have some diversity, but she looks like Cory Kennedy, which is never a good thing.

 Socialite Arden Wohl was already considerably odd. The New York based socialite is infamously tied with her public fondness for pot. She is recognizable by her signature hippie headbands. She never removes them! On Saturday, she confirmed her eccentric persona by writing “Ralphy Lip Shits”, at the Ralph Lauren’s Hampton store, with red lipstick. Wohl was consequently arrested, for graffiti and defacing property, in East Hampton N.Y. Wohl hates being categorized as a socialite, but her entitled actions would suggest otherwise. As if the hippie socialite’s antics were not enough, she felt the urge to steal little american flags, from the store. How patriotic! Wohl can now add petit larceny, to her wild child resume. 

Here at Fashion Indie we can’t get over these genius photos of Village Voice mascot Michael Musto making fun of the Lindsay Lohan‘s homage to Marilyn Monroe.

For someone who just wants to be taken seriously for their acting, she’s doing everything in her power to seem like a narcissistic-vapid-jackass. And as we know that’s what Rumer Willis is for.

Want people to take you seriously? Stop doing things like this, that make it so easy for people lampoon you. Less time on E! News and more time on Charlie Rose!
