Having learned from the coal-raking he had for his debut collection, West went back to the drawing board and cleaned house a little and the results were, as noted catwalk pundits agreed, “eh, all right.”

The truth will out. Or at least someone’s version of the truth. Cathy Horyn played devil’s advocate in her profile of Stella McCartney, she of the illustrious pop parentage and hugely successful eponymous fashion line. In discussing McCartney’s rise to prominence, Horyn sheds light on a decade-old tale of Tom Ford, then creative director of Gucci, trying to woo Stella into his shoes. A story that McCartney maintains but that Ford, once the New York Times journalist asks him, openly refutes.

The New York Times chronicles the rise of Nicki Minaj as a style icon; from “making dresses in her basement” to donning Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci to the 2011 Grammy Awards to being a guest of Vogue editrix Anna Wintour at Carolina Herrera‘s spring 2012 fashion show. Minaj, however, has yet to attain the true testament to style-iconery — the coveted cover of Wintour’s precious publication. But according to the raptress’ manager, she’s “in talks with the magazine.”

Hailey Clauson is a vision of domestic bliss for the spring edition of T Style by The New York Times. Styled in some of the most cheerful looks from the spring 2011 runways by David Vandewal, Hailey puts her culinary skills to the test in Stella McCartney, Jil Sander and Carolina Herrera. Captured by photographer Walter Pfeiffer, she makes a statement in mismatched designer shoes, big jewelry and an eerie pink beehive. I’m not sure what sweet creation could come out of peanut butter, pineapples and baking soda, but she looks so good, who cares if it’s a disaster?
