The Christian Louboutin-Yves Saint Laurent red-sole trademark battle is still raging on. Well, perhaps “raging” isn’t the right word…teetering on, if you will. Yesterday Diane von Furstenberg lent her support to the couture cobbler in the Manhattan courtroom where he sat before three Appeals Court judges to determine the fate of his sole.

Yves Saint Laurent is showing their manly side this spring with its first menswear ad campaign in almost five years. The last time YSL ran a menswear campaign was for fall 2007 when Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot industrial designer Marc Newsom. Reflecting, according to the house of YSL, the continued global growth of its men’s wear line, Stefano Pilati signed on David Sims to capture model Baptiste Radufe for spring 2012.

- Equinox is stirring up some controversy with its latest slutty ad campaign shot by the Helmut Lang of Trash, Terry Richardson. I know what you’re thinking — “duh” — but the controversy stems from the models being too thin, not too skanky. What a twist! [Huffington Post]

Somehow this got lost to us amongst the shuffle and kerfuffle of the holiday season, but Net-a-Porter opened up its storybook of Grimm’s Fashion Fairytales to tell the story of Christian Louboutin, in celebration of the master cobbler’s 20th anniversary. Making animated guest appearances in this tongue-in-cheek account of Louboutin’s rise to prominence are Helmut Lang, Grace Jones, Yves Saint Laurent and his muse Loulou de la Falaise, Princess Caroline of Monaco and socialite Hélène de Mortemart as the requisite fairy godmother. Snuggle up under the covers, kids, it’s sartorial storytime!
