Andre Leon Talley once said that she should be a model, and ended up recruiting her for a national TV spot. Although it resulted in her falling on her backside in front of millions of morning show viewers, Whitney Port certainly has what it takes to step onto the runway.

For months you have heard us banging on about The September Issue, the Anna Wintour/Vogue documentary that has whipped fashion followers into a frenzy. Now, the official trailer for the “frockumentary” has hit the net, ahead of the film’s September 11 release in the U.S. Click play on video above to watch.
The trend to employ famous faces as magazine interns continues with the news that Chanel Iman is now working at Teen Vogue.
Last week the model tweeted about her internship at the mag, saying: “U will never guess what i’ve been doing for the last couple of hours. Havin’ a blast interning at Teen Vogue!! Setup there [sic] closet like its mine”.
Also: “Teen Vogue just got a little taste of Chanel Iman flavor in the House!!! Hey lol Teen Vogue rocks!!!”
Sounds like she is having fun.
Chanel is the latest in a string of celebs to hit the glossy intern trail. Bruce Willis’s daughter, Tallulah Belle, recently worked at Harper’s Bazaar, while Sean Avery interned at Vogue.

Comparisons are being drawn between Anna Sui’s previous collections, and her forthcoming range for Target. The designer has already cited Gossip Girl as inspiration for her Go International line, but clearly her past runways have also provided a good start. Four dresses from her 2006 and 2007 collections have been modified for her new retail range which is set to land in store on September 13. Most of the items will sell for under $50 (woot!) click here to check out the lookbook.
It didn’t take long (just enough time to achieve maximum exposure, I’m presuming) for Calvin Klein to pull it’s controversial jeans billboard in Manhattan. The company has instead replaced the “threesome” ad with a much less provocative shot of Doutzen Kroes in a red bikini. I’m sure this will come as a sight for sore eyes to many of the locals, namely of the male variety.

It is being called a dark day in Hollywood after the deaths of icons Michael Jackson, 50, and Farrah Fawcett, 62. With a 50-concert tour scheduled, and an announcement just yesterday that he’ll be wearing Swarovski when he kicked off his “This is It” tour in London next month, Michael passed away yesterday afternoon. According to US reports, the King of Pop suffered a cardiac arrest at his home, and was taken to UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead by medical staff. Tributes have been flooding in from his celebrity friends all night.
Earlier yesterday morning, Farrah lost her long battle with cancer. The former Charlie’s Angels star, renowned for her flicky hair ‘do, passed away in Santa Monica surrounded by her family and friends, including Ryan O’Neal.

It looks like it’s all over red rover for Jennifer Lopez’s fashion label, Sweetface in America. The singer is pulling the plug on her contemporary sportswear brand after six years.
“In light of some new company strategies, we have decided to put the Sweetface line on hiatus while we prepare to reintroduce the brand in the near future with new messaging points and an entirely new fashion point of view,” the company said in a statement.
When Jen is planning to relaunch her label is as yet unknown, but it marks the latest blow in her clothing empire. In 2007, the company shut down its JLO brand and replaced it with justsweet to be distributed outside of the U.S. This line was also closed down after only a few seasons. The good news is that Sweetface Fashion Co., her parent company will continue to distribute her brands overseas.

While her last range focussed on African and Indian-inspired designs, Nicole says the next one “is focusing more on old English, equestrian and more sophisticated looks.”
As for the clothes and shoes, she adds: “I’ve been working really hard on designing and picking the right fabrics for my Spring 2010 line.”

Diane von Furstenberg, who has strived for copyright inclusion as part of her role as CFDA president, has settled out of court after being accused of improper copying. DvF will now pay the designers of Mercy of Canada an undisclosed sum and will stop using the copied jacket design. Some might recall that the garment was actually pulled by Whitney Port on The City for the March ’09 cover of Elle.
“While this is an isolated incident for DVF, it is unfortunate that way too many others intentionally build businesses by stealing the work of other designers,” von Furstenberg said.
