All the fashion news of the week that’s fit to reprint.
Adidas
Cast David Beckham and Katy Perry in its latest commercial. Sorry, Posh, step aside.
Ann Taylor
Shortening its name to Ann Inc.
AP
The Associated Press has sued Urban Outfitters for selling T-shirts with a copyrighted image of Barack Obama. Shouldn’t Shepard Fairey sue them, too?
Arnault, Bernard
Has his eye on purchasing Jimmy Choo next. No, not a pair of shoes, the entire company.
Bilson, Rachel
Was shot by Karl Lagerfeld for a Magnum ice cream ad. What a bizarre combination of events.
Campbell, Naomi
Opening up a pop-up charity shop in London. Saving the world, one pretty pair of shoes at a time.
Chávez, Hugo
The president of Venezuela dislikes breast augmentation procedures. What a good issue for him to spend his time on.
Coach
Donated 400 million yen to the Japanese Red Cross Society. That’s a lot of wristlets.
Cyrus, Miley
Auctioning off her wardrobe for charity. No, not to help Japan but her own charity, Get Ur Good On.
Depp, Johnny
Named “Hat Person of the Year.” Well, if he can’t get an Oscar. …
Dickinson, Janice
Borrowed a £13,000 ring, lost it, found it and then lost it again. Oops.
Fey, Tina
Photoshopped until she was unrecognizable on the cover of InStyle. If they wanted to hire Jocelyn Wildenstein, why didn’t they?
Gap
Closing 200 stores. But will still have 700 open.
H&M
Now selling Jewish prayer shawls.
Holmes, Katie
Wants to design a lipstick that changes color according to mood. Read my lips. …
Japanese Fashion Week
Was canceled.
Ke$ha
Wore her most hideous outfit yet: a black, crocheted, high-waisted bikini. Eww.
Kors, Michael
Designing a jewelry line with Fossil. I can’t wait for this to be a “Project Runway” challenge.
Lithuania
Now has a national scent.
Love, Pamela
Collaborating on a jewelry collection with Topshop. Spread the Love!
Make Up For Ever
Came out with what the brand claims is the first unretouched makeup ad ever. Doesn’t anyone remember that there was a time before Photoshop?
NBC
Working on a new fashion-oriented reality-TV show. We haven’t had one of those in weeks, so it’s about time.
Nike
Selling “blood-stained” sneakers for Halloween this year. Lady Gaga is so excited that she has something other than 10-inch heels to wear to the gym now.
Pink
Got a horrible haircut and tweeted about it. What could be worse than her signature pink do?
Saks Fifth Avenue
No longer selling John Galliano’s eponymous line, but still selling Dior.
Tyra
No longer goes by Tyra Banks. Just Tyra. Was Tyra Inc. taken?
Uniqlo
Donated $17 million to tsunami relief in Japan.
Versace
Designing a line of sunglasses inspired by Betty Draper … I mean, January Jones.
Watson, Emma
Dropped out of Brown University to be the new face of Lancôme. Good career move.
Williamson, Matthew
Will be designing a line for Macy’s.
