Scott Schuman, the diminutive dictator behind The Sartorialist, has a reputation for being….sort of a…dick. And in the June issue of GQ, he takes a moment from bullying Tavi Gevinson to rain a few F-bombs all over the magazine industry, Dolce & Gabbana and the president of Saks Fifth Ave.

Were you one of the 4.6 million people who watched the premiere of NBC’s Fashion Star on Tuesday night? Yeah, me neither. But those numbers translated into big sales for Macy’s, Saks and H&M, all of whom reported that they had sold out of contestants’ winning designs by Wednesday afternoon.

There is no dearth of fashion reality shows on television with the pioneering Project Runway immediately coming to mind. But with nine seasons and a spin off under its belt, PJ Runway hasn’t necessarily set the fashion world ablaze. It’s doubtful NBC’s Fashion Star will be any different, but with a $6 million contract with Macy’s, Saks Fifth Ave and H&M at stake, its contestants will at least have something to show for their efforts besides an air kiss from Heidi Klum and claw marks from Nina Garcia.

Happy Birthday Stella McCartney! I never would have guessed she turned 40 today – positively gorjuss. And what a thrilling year she’s had: a store opening within Saks Fifth Ave, a contract to design the British Olympic uniforms, a stunning well-received Fall 2011 collection, and the opportunity to costume the MET ballet, Ocean’s Kingdom. Not only did the latter allow her to employ all she has learned at ADIDAS and with designing for the Olympics in a far more artful manner, but it gave her a chance to work professionally with the ballet’s composer, her father, Sir Paul McCartney.
