Critiquing The Critical Shopper: Isabel Marant’s Soho Store
Cintra Wilson, I love you. Your review of the JC Penney in Herald Square was my Gchat status for weeks, and when someone first sent it to me, I read it four times straight, laughing harder each time, and forwarded in a manic frenzy to everyone I knew. Your differentiation between Kiki de Montparasse and Victoria’s Secret-heavy Agent Provacateur? Spot on, and sent me straight to the Kiki store. Which is why I say, as a total groupie, Isabel Marant as an Army-Navy store? Non!
Tonchi Taps New York Mag’s Jody Quon For Creative Director
Watching a magazine be renovated before our eyes is a fascinating process, and Stefano Tonchi’s quick work at W magazine is no exception. Last week, WWD speculated that Tonchi’s next hires would be Vogue’s Sally Singer and New York Magazine‘s Jody Quon – and so far, they’re one for one.
Magazine We’ve Never Heard Of Debuts Scent-Only Issue
Just a few hours ago we were lamenting the (mainstream) magazine industry’s lack of originality and now comes the news that indie arts mag Mono Kultur is releasing an issue featuring no images. Instead, the magazine will be made up of 12 scents printed directly on the paper using a very scientific-sounding technique called “microencapsulation.” The scents will be released when the reader rubs the paper.
Derby Dashery! Kentucky Caps Through The Years

From the elegant to the absolutely ridiculous, here are our favorite Derby photos.
500,000 Women Sue Wal-Mart Over Sex Discrimination
Despite its smiley-face image, as budget-friendly retailers go, Wal-Mart definitely doesn’t have the style chops of a Kohls or a Target . And it seems this lack of style extends on down to its policies towards the fairer sex — at least according to a few thousand (or so) of Wal-Mart’s female employees who are suing for alleged discrimination. And thanks to a recent court ruling, it appears things are going to get a whole lot classier — as in class action.

On The Warpath? May Mags Serve Up A Surplus Of Surplus
Sartorially speaking, it’s no huge secret that military-inspired looks have become an entrenched part of spring’s wardrobe, but talk about beating a dead horse. Between G.I. Gisele and Private Werbowy covering international issues of Vogue and Harper’s, along with a slew of other salut-a-torials, we felt it our duty to call the glossies on their surplus of uniformity.

Kelly Osbourne Shills For Self-Esteem In A Bottle
Kelly Osbourne’s transformation tale is as good, not to mention as marketable, as any coming out of Hollywood these days, and now the rock n’ roll royal is using it to the advantage of St. Tropez, a UK-based premium self-tanner brand. In a recent ad, Osborne extolls, “I looked like 10lb skinnier, and it started to make me look at my body in a different way. It made me look at what looked better rather than what I didn’t like, and I kind of got addicted.” Well, St. Tropez’ self-esteem in a bottle campaign has more than a few people up in arms.

Free Tavi! Style Blogger’s Site Gets Shut Down By Google
If, sometime around Monday afternoon, you just so happened to have dropped by fourteen-year-old style blogger Tavi Gevinson’s blog, The Style Rookie, you probably ran smack dab into the following automated and somewhat terrifying message: This blog is under review due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations and is open to authors only. Almost instantaneously, a twitter campaign launched, urging people to help Free Tavi. The site is back up now, but what was Tavi’s crime?
Mischa Barton’s Very Bad, No Good, Large Red Shorts
We’re just going to get right to the point here: these are the worst shorts we have ever seen. This isn’t anything against Mischa Barton herself — she’s a beautiful woman and she has a very awesome car (see inside) — but these shorts, paired with these shoes, paired with both of these sweaters, make for one of the least-flattering outfits we have ever seen. Click through for more photos…
Q&A: Where To Shop If You’re A Not-So-Skinny Hipster
Dear Styleite: I’m a guy who wants to dress a little cooler, but most trendier styles seem to be designed for super skinny hipster kids. Do you have any recommendations of retailers and designers who sell cool clothes for a more athletic build? (Editor’s Note: My boyfriend who used to play college football. May I recommend Superdry and department stores? But I’ll let our columnist Jackie work her magic after the jump.)

Agyness Deyn’s little sister Emily Deyn has decided to step away from her sister’s shadow and put herself in her own fashion spotlight. Last year, Emily and her best friend Aliyah Hussain designed a one-off t-shirt featuring the Queen of England which the duo gave to Agyness as a birthday present.
