British Cheap-chic retailer Topshop announced that they will open a U.S. flagship location in Manhattan on October 10th! Mark your calendars, boys. [Fashion Week Daily]
The swimsuits to be worn by swimmers on the U.S. Olympic team not only cover more of the male swimmers body, but also gives them a gender-neutral Ken doll-like crotch to reduce "drag." In other words, the swimming competitions just lost some gay viewers while some drag queens get some much-needed respect. [Queerty]
Celebrities are always meddling with fashion. Samuel L. Jackson has been trying to get Giorgio Armani to use more brocade, beaded fabrics—and fabrics used in the womens collection—for the mens collection. Armani needs to tell Samuel L. to stick to acting and let Armani design the clothes. I mean, celebrities are just walking coat hangers for designer clothes to get into celebrity magazines. [WWD]
Is Nina Garcia, Project Runway judge and Elle Fashion Director, leaving the magazine? When WWD reports a rumor, it's usually true... I said usually. What does this mean for her Project Runway gig? [WWD]
Yigal Azrouël dishes about his collaboration with K-Swiss and his love of surfing. [The Cut]
Nina Garcia looks like an Afghan Hound and wears hideous clothes...on one show she bashed a designer for designing a cheap looking red dress while she had on a cheap looking red dress....Diana Vreeland or Anna Wintour she ain't...maybe more like Roseanne....hopefully she will take Michael Kors with her......

Oscar designs Bush wedding dress..Will it be as hideous as the one he designed for Laura when Queen Betty was here ? I had no idea her bottom was so big until I saw her in that rag....It either spread from sitting sucking Marlboro Reds or after she stopped sucking on Marlboro Reds...
