Andrej Pejic Struts Down the Aisle, Carine Rotifeld’s Mag Getting a Doc and Galliano Schiaparelli Rumors

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

- Always one to turn lemons into overpriced lemonade, Marc Jacobs is now selling T-shirts bearing his graffitied storefront for $689, to the chagrin of the graffiti artist, Kidult. [The Cut]

- Jessica Simpson can barely give her baby photos away. The new mother has sold them for a mere $800,000 to People, a paltry pittance compared to Jennifer Lopez‘s $6 million and even Matthew McCounaghey‘s $3 million. It’s a sad day when you can’t even pull that Wooderson dough. [WWD]

- Who needs someone to put a ring on it when you look this damn good? Male model and lithe lady Andrej Pejic graced the Rosa Clara runway during Barcelona Bridal Week, thus upstaging every other biological woman. [Styleite]

-  Jacob & Co., the jeweler famously name-checked in practically every rap song from the early-00s, has apparently knocked off Brangelina‘s engagement ring, though they claim to have already had a similar style in their bling repertoire. [Fashionista]

- Who else but Ralph Lauren would design the US Olympic and Paralympic teams’ opening and closing ceremony looks? The US Olympic Committee revealed the quintessentially American designer’s vision for the latter yesterday and naturally the only thing missing is a gold medal or two. [WWD, sub req'd]

Prada, Armani and Lauren Among Forbes Fashion Billionaires

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Forbes Magazine, that wealth of celebrity-earnings knowledge, has published its 25th annual list of the world’s billionaires — all 1,226 of them. Their combined net worth is $4.26 trillion, or to put things in perspective: about a third of the U.S. national debt; or if they decided to break off and form their own country, Billionaire Island, the world’s fourth largest GDP. Besides Spanx founder Sara Blakely‘s debut, the fashion industry made a decent showing on the list with Miuccia Prada returning after a six-year absence.

Debriefed: Bloggers in their Underwear

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

These awesome dude bloggers show us their style on the daily, crediting the outfit head to toe. But they’ve been missing one detail that lies beneath. The question of boxers of briefs is as old as Space Jam. Now we want to know which boxers? Who makes those briefs? So we hit up some of our favorite indie bloggers from The Grungy Gentleman, Tucked, What is James Wearing, The Dandy Project and SPIF to show us their underwear. Because beauty is on the inside…right?

Diane von Furstenberg and co. are standing their ground. Last week the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana accepted the Council of Fashion Designers of America‘s attempt at compromise —  moving New York’s shows next September in exchange for Milan accepting the second Thursday rule — but only if the CFDA cut the last day of New York Fashion Week. Well, turns out that last day has some big names attached — Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein Collection, specifically  – so the CFDA said “no dice” in a letter to the Camera on Tuesday.
