Forever 21 Pulls Kurt Cobain’s Flipper Shirt From Shelves
Forever 21 really likes to play it fast and loose with copyright law. Not long after coming under fire for appropriating trademarked Navajo prints for their $4 undies, the fast fashion retailer decided to start selling a t-shirt designed and worn by late Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain.
10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: October 30-November 5
This was the week celebrities (and normal people) wore lots of Halloween costumes! This was also the week we talked to a few of our girlcrushes (Blake Lively! Alexa Chung! Mindy Kaling!), lamented offensive merchandise, and saw what Courtney Stodden looks like without makeup. Oh, yeah, and Kim Kardashian filed for divorce.
Korean-Owned Forever 21 Now Sells ‘Oriental Girl’ Necklaces
It’s bad enough to sell merchandise that’s offensive to a group of people you have no connection with, but it’s a whole other level of insensitivity to sell something that pokes fun at the ethnicity you come from.
10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: September 11-17
This week saw the end of the Week of Fashion, and what a successful week it was! We brushed shoulders Beyoncé, and chatted with the likes of Tavi and Carine Roitfeld. We also bore witness to the fact that Lindsey Lohan had a less successful week. Marc Jacobs seems to be headed to Dior, even though he’s demanding a huge paycheck. And Suri Cruise wears lipstick. Deal with it.
Horrible Forever 21 Shirt Declares Girls Are ‘Allergic To Algebra’

StyleDish: Does Forever 21 Have A Not-So-Secret Religious Agenda?
Today’s StyleDish brings an entire compendium of models eating ice cream (in case you didn’t have enough last week), an investigation into Forever 21′s fascination with religion, and Kellan Lutz’s initial pendant — yup, that kind you can spot on pre-teen girls everywhere. Sigh.
10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: June 12-18
This was the week of hats! So many awesome hats!

Blogger Behind WTForever21 Says She Won’t Back Down
We (and everyone else in the fashion media world) was appalled to hear about Forever 21‘s threat to sue Rachel Kane of the satirical WTForever 21 blog.

Tokyo Stores Cautiously Reopen Their Doors
Maybe it wasn’t too soon for Rebecca Taylor to open a store in Tokyo after all. Fashion brands including Louis Vuitton and Forever 21 cautiously reopened their doors in Tokyo on Tuesday, while employees at H&M moved back to the capital city from Osaka. Slowly but surely, the city’s retail scene seems to be getting back to normal. And while brands are keeping an eye on their employees’ safety, they’re ever mindful that the earthquake and tsunami of two weeks ago will impact their bottom line.
Forever 21 Donating 100% Of Today’s Online Sales To Japan
Call us cynics, but when we got the press release announcing Forever 21′s intentions to donate 100% of today’s online sales to aid earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan, we couldn’t help but look for a catch. They couldn’t possibly mean 100%, could they?
The Girl’s Guide To Curating A Super Cool Jewelry Collection

Minnie Gets Leggy For F21 And Other Bad Cartoon Makeovers
