Tons more celebs have been confirmed for the Costume Institute Gala next week, and the designers are finally dishing on who they’re dressing.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will be attending with Diane von Furstenberg, who has designed custom dresses for the duo.
But Marc Jacobs may have the most girls on his arm – Sofia Coppola, Karen Elson, Rachel Feinstein and Helena Christensen will all be his guests.

Looks like HSN has found its answer to the popularity of Heidi Klum on QVC with Iman Global Chic.
Everything in the collection is under $130 and some pieces sold out in the first five minutes on air, so if you’re into the accessories inspired by Iman’s world travels you should act fast.
Looks like the two home shopping giants are going head to head. While Heidi Klum is clearly the higher-profile model right now, with her Project Runway hosting gig, she did run into that little trouble with Van Cleef and Arpels about her signature clover design. Let’s see if Iman can stay out of the hot seat.

Everyone wants supermodel style these days, and it’s more attainable than ever with so many models launching fashion lines at reasonable prices. The latest on the list? Iman. The collection will include jewellery and handbags taking inspiration from her own wardrobe and lifestyle. The wife of rock legend David Bowie will sell her collection on the Home Shopping Network and on hsn.com.
“When I thought about doing the collection, I asked myself, ‘What must I have for me?’” Iman said. “And it always came back to accessories. They are the things that change a wardrobe immediately.” The jewelry will run $19.95 to $59.95 and the bags $49.95 to $129.95.

Wow, I was amazed after reading the WWD article, “Little Diversity in Fashion: African-Americans Bemoan Their Absence in Industry,” how few black models there were in Fashion Week. Of the 101 shows and presentations posted on Style.com, 31 appear to have no black models. But it’s true–it’s almost as if you get so used to the standard pale-skin model, that it’s like a mannequin walking down the runway, rather than people who play a part in society. I mean, to say nothing of the leggy, stick-thin, 16-year-old bodies, which definitely don’t represent how the majority of women look, why should the fashion industry get away with discrimination as well? Well, they shouldn’t.
