With Anna Sui hitting up the Morrison Hotel Gallery, paying homage to Kurt Cobain through Jesse Frohman’s iconic images, I got to chat with her about how Nirvana played its way into her aesthetics. As we spoke of the grunge movement, other movements came to mind, like her quest to Save the Garment Center, and the eco revolution that could really use a game changer of Kurt Cobain proportions to shake it up. Get inside Anna Sui’s mind and history after the jump.

There’s been a lot of flack about the interwebs regarding Vogue Italia‘s “Haute Mess” editorial shot by Steven Meisel, styled by Lori Goldstein and starring Joan Smalls, Coco Rocha, Lindsey Wixson, Daphne Groeneveld, Jessica Stam, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Guinevere van Seenus and Karen Elson in all their ghetto fabulous glory. Some feel it’s racially insensitive, some think it classist, but Franca Sozzani thinks people just see what they want to see. And hopefully you see a lot of “messy drag queen.”

Miuccia Prada has greased her lightening for the go. In fire bolt shoes and heartbreakingly ornate Susie Homewrecker dresses, the Prada Spring 2012 campaign video, shot by Steven Meisel, is a proper glare-down at the gas station. In effects like lacquered tail light frames and appliqués of dimensional lace, they pursed their deep red lips and charged at it like an old fashion drag race (and not entirely unlike RuPaul’s, because bitches are fierce). Bejeweled along collars, engines revving at the shoes, they’re off! We win.

QVC and HSN, once the domain of Marie Osmond‘s creepy fetishistic dolls and the legendary Joan Rivers Classics Collection has gotten a recent injection of diva with Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey taking to the air to hock their perfumes, clothing lines and pregnancy stories. For its first issue of the year, Vogue Italia, perhaps sensing a trend, tapped Steven Meisel and Karl Templer for this brilliant send-up of the home shopping networks featuring leggy ladies Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss, Sigrid Agren, Caroline Trentini, Gertrud Hegelund, Daria Strokous and Natasha Poly. And if that weren’t enough to get your collective hearts beating in anticipation, there’s a…video. Listen closely and you can almost here Joan screaming from beyond (L.A.) about the only things these skinny bitches are eating up is her goddamn screentime. Video and gallery after the jump!

Nothing says spring like pastel skirt suits and big bowls of ice cream to match. Throw in some very expensive handbags, and it’s a sweet scene for all. Louis Vuitton embraced this very aesthetic for the Spring 2012 campaign, taking models Daria Strokous and Kati Nescher back in time to an all-pink, sugar-coated ice cream shop. Shot by Steven Meisel, the energy of two young girls gossiping after school is difficult to deny.

Remember this photo of a contorted Karlie Kloss by Steven Meisel? Well, some people might not since Franca Sozzani and the kids at Vogue Italia took it down from the magazine’s website after it started appearing on pro-anorexia websites. Sozzani took to her blog today to dispel any rumors and explain her reasoning behind the decision:
