Saint Laurent Paris Is Not Impressed With Women’s Wear Daily
Last week, Women’s Wear Daily published several oddly-timed stories about Paris Fashion Week. One piece by Miles Socha compared Hedi Slimane‘s Saint Laurent debut to Raf Simons‘ Christian Dior ready-to-wear. The general verdict is that everyone loved Simons’ collection, while Slimane’s collection was well-reviewed by retailers, but not so much by critics like Cathy Horyn. Naturally, the crew at Saint Laurent Paris didn’t like the article, so CEO Paul Deneve sent in a letter to the editors at WWD.

Victoria Beckham Started A Fashion Line Just To Prove She Could Do It
Maybe one of the reasons people can be so dismissive about Victoria Beckham‘s various forays into the fashion industry don’t have so much to do with the fact that she’s a celebrity as they do with the fact that they’ve never heard her talk about running a business. Because when that happens, it sounds like Posh Spice knows exactly what she’s doing.
The Kardashians Had No Idea They’d Called Themselves A ‘Klan’
We are halfway through Kim Kardashian’s four hour, two part wedding extravaganza, and though nary a nuptial has yet to air (last night’s episode was dedicated mainly to Kris Jenner’s plastic surgery), every media outlet and their mother has dedicated today to the Kardashians.

Cathy Horyn Accuses WWD Of A Michelle Obama ‘Witch Hunt’
Last week, Michelle Obama and her husband hosted a state dinner for the Chinese Prime Minister. For the evening, Obama chose a red gown with a black floral pattern designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. It was a beautiful dress in a traditional design, especially by McQueen’s standards. The color, most presumed, was an homage to China. The choice, however, was a slap in the face to American designers, at least according to the CFDA, Oscar de la Renta, and fashion’s publication of record, WWD — all of whom Cathy Horyn takes to task in her column for today’s New York Times.
