			<![CDATA[
			<p><strong>Linda Evangelista</strong>, a super among supers, is demanding $46,000 a month in child support from deadbeat billionaire dad, <strong>Francois-Henri Pinault</strong>, aka, Mr. <strong>Salma Hayek</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://ficdn.fashionindie.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/linda-w.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-204119" title="linda-w" src="http://ficdn.fashionindie.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/linda-w.jpg" alt="Linda Evangelista Doesnt Get Out of Court for Less Than $46,000 a Month" width="454" height="602" /><span id="more-204118"></span></a><em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em> Who&#8217;s fault is it? Salma, I&#8217;m looking at you.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Pinault, chairman and CEO of PPR &#8212; the conglomerate behind <strong>Gucci</strong>, <strong>Alexander McQueen</strong>, <strong>Stella McCartney</strong>, <strong>Balenciaga</strong>, <strong>Yves Saint Laurent</strong>, <strong>Bottega Veneta</strong> and a slew of other brands &#8212; is one of the richest men in the world&#8230;and Evangelista is getting hers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If the super gets her way &#8212; and when doesn&#8217;t she? &#8212; that 46K &#8220;would probably be the largest support order in the history of the Family Court,&#8221; says some professional legal dude.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While Pinault is busy making it rain for Valentina, his 3-year-old daughter with Hayek, there&#8217;s a draught when it comes to Evangelista&#8217;s 4-year-old son, Augustin James &#8212; meanwhile, you do the math &#8212; with Linda&#8217;s lawyer claiming, &#8221;He&#8217;s just been sitting back, paying zero.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Among the costs Evangelista is looking to gouge Pinault on are an $80,000/year nanny and private, gun-toting drivers at $175,000/yr. While the judge seemed sympathetic to those costs &#8212; after all, we&#8217;re talking about a <strong>star</strong> here &#8212; he immediately dismissed the $7500/month vacation expenses. Scrooge.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Evangelista, who&#8217;s worth some $8 million &#8212; &#8220;and she earned, last year, $1.8 million&#8221; &#8212; is still a working mother and boy was she working that day in court. When the judge asked her just how many hours she worked in a given week, Linda calmly responded:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;On days when I do not work, I am working on my image. I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And she&#8217;s running circles all over this case. In stilettos, too. Good luck, mama! [<em><a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/linda_demands_monthly_from_ex_8lWhicZ0088EQTIU1kouNI" target="_blank">NY Post</a></em>]</p>

			<p>- The official <strong>Royal Wedding</strong> photos are out and are adorable. Shot by <strong>Hugo Burnand</strong>, the royal family and the Middletons gathered in the the throne room of <strong>Buckingham Palace</strong> for a family portrait, Windsor style. Meanwhile, the design community has weighed in on <strong>Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge</strong>&#8216;s <strong>Sarah Burton</strong> for <strong>Alexander McQueen</strong> wedding dress and the overall opinion is &#8220;You go, girl.&#8221; [<em><a href="http://www.fashionologie.com/Karl-Lagerfeld-Donatella-Versace-More-React-Kate-Middletons-Wedding-Dress-16119736" target="_blank">Fashionologie</a></em>]</p>

<p>- But what does this mean for Burton and the McQueen brand? A series of industry insiders, retail experts and just plain know-it-alls agree that landing the royal wedding dress was a large coup for the Alexander McQueen label, particularly with the <strong>Met Costume Institute Gala</strong> and <em>Savage Beauty</em> exhibit opening this week. McQueen will become a household name &#8212; though it was already that in <em>my</em> household &#8212; and will now have a &#8220;guaranteed legacy&#8221; while &#8220;taming&#8221; the house&#8217;s trademark &#8220;edginess.&#8221; Sales are expected to go through the roof due to a new, heretofore unseen level of awareness for the McQueen brand and as for Burton; rumors are reaching a fever pitch over her possibly serving as a replacement for <strong>John Galliano</strong> at <strong>Dior</strong>. But with the spectacular success of the new Duchess&#8217;s wedding gown, <strong>PPR</strong> (McQueen&#8217;s parent company) would likely do everything in its power to keep her on&#8230;at least if they were smart they would. [<em><a href="http://www.wwd.com/fashion-news/the-business-impact-of-the-royal-wedding-3597757?module=today" target="_blank">WWD</a></em>]</p>
<p>- Model Agency Wars! After <strong>Next Model Management</strong> sued <strong>Ford Models</strong> for allegedly poaching a trio of models &#8212; <strong>Karmen Pedaru, Anna Aleksandra Cywinska</strong>, and <strong>Anna J.</strong> &#8212; <strong>DNA</strong> has gotten litigious over <strong>Maryna Linchuk</strong>, whom they claim Ford &#8220;solicited and induced&#8221; to break contract. DNA&#8217;s result? They&#8217;re suing Ford for $2 million. Big game hunting in the wilds of the modeling world can get very expensive.

The film, funded PPR Group, a Gucci parent company, is a series of worldwide aerial images that leaves viewers wondering what they can do to help save the planet, to help save <em>home</em>. </p>
<p>In honor of the film, Gucci creative director Frida Giannini has designed a special, limited edition t-shirt in which proceeds will benefit Arthus-Bertrand&#8217;s non-profit organization, <a href="http://www.goodplanet.org/" target="_blank">Goodplanet.org</a>. Consider this a donation with a reward! These t-shirts, crafted from 100% organic cotton and natural dyes combine the Gucci and HOME names to promote awareness for all of the nations featured in the film. A HOME logo tote-bag accompanies each t-shirt. </p>
<p>Starting May 25th, these t-shirts, available in both men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s sizes for 140 Euros (about $185), will be sold  at select Gucci stores worldwide. Who knew promoting environmental awareness could look so good?</p>
