Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke may have had a rough go of it lately, but he’s apparently killing it in his closet every morning.

Marc Jacobs Doesn’t Care That Justin Bieber’s Perfume Looks Like His

Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen won’t find out if they won the CFDA’s award for Emerging Talent until the ceremony next week, but the press they got in today’s issue of Women’s Wear Daily says it all.

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.
Miuccia Prada Reads Blogs On Paper, Has Political Aspirations

CONFIRMED: Google’s Fashion Venture To Launch This Week

How Fashion People Define ‘Cheap’
Fashion people are a funny bunch. They have their own lingo, their own avenue, and their very own bible.

Stefano Tonchi’s New W Is Finally Here!
Stefano Tonchi, who took over W magazine in April, has slowly but surely been making a series of changes to the struggling book. And while some of them have been small, none of them have been subtle. In a Q&A with WWD, Tonchi explains the biggest changes — all of which are on full display in the September issue.
Stacy London Launches Own “Style for Hire” Company
Having a personal stylist seems to either be an exclusive privilege of the rich and famous, or a once-in-a-blue-moon experience you obtain after your friends and family publicly humiliate your poor sartorial choices on national television. But what is the average style-troubled person to do? Perhaps unsurprisingly, the bubbly, aimable, and hysterical Stacy London of TLC’s “What Not to Wear” now has the answer.
What Kind Of Shopper Are You?
Fashion media is starting to look a lot like a quiz-heavy issue of Cosmo magazine.

So, which one are you?
Courtney Love Set Fire To Marc Jacobs’ Perry Ellis Collection
Is there anything more entertaining to read than a Courtney Love interview? This time, the rocker sat down with WWD to wax free associatively about style and her sartorial education at the hands of Karl Lagerfeld, Daphne Guinness, and Lady Amanda Harlech, but the best part of the interview might be when Love confesses to doing some very bad things to Marc Jacobs‘ infamous grunge collection for Perry Ellis.
WWD Turns 100 Years Old, Dusts Off First Issue
Today marks Women’s Wear Daily 100th year of publication. And it’s difficult to imagine our world without the industry insider newspaper and online resource bringing us in-depth coverage of everything from fashion shows to retail stock quotes.

Meet Yu-Ming: The Man With 900 Shoes
Encountering a male sneaker enthusiast with more pairs of shoes than his female counterpart is an unusual scenario, but most unusual is one who has more shoes than 40 times the average women’s collection combined.

Tyra Banks Is Doing Vogue Italia A Favor By Partnering
When we first heard that the winner of next season’s America’s Next Top Model would be gracing the cover of Vogue Italia, we thought the partnership had Andre Leon Talley’s name all over it. But according to Tyra Banks, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Zac Posen To Show In Paris?
We were pretty surprised when we got yesterday’s WWD Fashion Flash and saw the subject line, “Zac Posen May Show In Paris.” Zac Posen, he who was bored and raised in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood and who just lent his name and decorating skills to a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom duplex model apartment in the Flatiron? Zac Posen who spent three years being mentored by Richard Martin, the curator of The Costume Institute at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art? Yes, that Zac Posen. And why?
