Marie Claire recently posted a slideshow of pictures of their November cover girl, Hillary Swank. The Next Karate Kid sure looks glamorous and we like it.

Rachel Zoe is going to be on QVC selling her new accessories line! Just don’t be a creep and wait for her outside their West Chester studio. Just sayin’.

Katy Perry was seen in Paris wearing the French designer that’s making a comeback – Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. If the Francais has you tongue-tied, just call it JC /DC for short – sort of like how Yves Saint Laurent is also known by it’s acronym, YSL.

Castelbajac’s designs are full of Disney and Sesame street designs like the one seen on Katy. M.I.A has also been rocking their stuff post-baby, and we think Kayne would wear JC/DC if he wasn’t busy cancelling tours. Either way, this designer’s pop art creations are set for a big comeback.

Also at Paris’ fashion week were Chanel lovers Lily Allen and Rihanna. Chanel isn’t making a comeback since this French classic never went anywhere, but it’s set to be bigger than ever with Coco Before Chanel telling the story of the woman behind the brand.

A former consumer reporter has launched a new website called Lush Click. It’s cute. It doesn’t have an extraordinary amount of content since it just launched, but it has great potential. Mosey on over when you get the chance.

Lastly, Daily Candy has posted pictures of the Haunted Poe tour.



Depression Confession: Yves Saint Laurent

Although this tends to be Liz Spikol’s area of expertise, I’ve got a style-related Depression Confession today.

The Telegraph has an excellent interview with Pierre Bergé, longtime business partner and lover of  Yves Saint Laurent. Speaking out for the first time since Laurent’s death this past summer, Bergé reveals that the French fashion designer suffered from depression.

“Designing made him deeply miserable,” says Pierre Bergé, who co-founded the YSL couture house with Saint Laurent in 1961. “Sadly, Yves was not built for joy. He was an unhappy person who didn’t have a taste for life. Occasionally, he was happy, but life was difficult for him. The depression ran deep.”[via Telegraph]

Bergé is auctioning off the art collection he amassed with Laurent. Learn more about the exquisite pieces owned by the couple in the video below.
