REMNANTS
- You guys! So apparently you all watched American Idol or went to a Siouxsie Sioux concert or something, and now you are hellbent on sticking feathers in your hair. Which would be totally fine, I guess, except for the fact that roosters and fly fishing shops alike cannot keep up with your demand! Let’s just agree to keep our feathers where they belong: on headbands. (Gawker)
- In other fashion anomalies, Jil Sander and Grey Ant have both teamed up with Teva to create the footwear equivalent of Frankenstein’s monster, or, as I’m sure they call it, comfortable heels. On one hand, they look like Tevas with heels (particularly the Grey Ant version), and on the other hand, they are ridiculously expensive. My advice is to skip all this nonsense and Ebay yourself a pair of Anyi Lu or Chie Mihara pumps. (StyleList)
- While working as Creative Director at Yves Saint Laurent, Tom Ford used to get handwritten hate mail from YSL himself. According to Ford it was because he grew the business exponentially, but I think it’s fair to assume his enviable preternatural hotness may have played a role. In any case, sounds like he saved them for the scrapbook! (Refinery29)
- Speaking of all things Ford, he’s now launching a beauty line. Ordinarily this would elicit a big fat meh from me, as I can’t and won’t keep up with fashion/beauty collaborations, but it is Tom Ford we’re talking about. Add in Ford’s no-nonsense approach (“there are a lot of products out there you don’t even need”), an intriguingly named fragrance of Jasmin Rouge and a superhot ad campaign with Lara Stone, and even I might be a convert.

- Man ankles: hot or not? A completely innocuous yet oddly titillating sock-less gallery follows. (Wall Street Journal)
