The ceremony is on June 15, 2009. It's interesting how Marc Jacobs is all up on the nominations. Anyway, Michelle Obama is being honored with this year's Board of Director's Special Tribute for her style choices and penchant for new designers. Wonder if she'll make an appearance.

Karl, gotta love the guy

Karl Lagerfeld is playing Fabu, the villain, in an animated French film called Totally Spies. It will open in France in July. I love me some cartoon Karl. I just love Karl at all times.

Pictures of Karl and the 5 Euro coin he designed to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Gabrielle Chanel's birth at the Hotel de la Monnaie in Paris November 19, 2008

Revamping

Can you believe that Nina Ricci held a sale in Paris, France on Friday to delete trace of Olivier!!!!!!!!!! They were selling ready-to-wear and runway peices still left over from the collections for only 40 euros. Thats $50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Madness!!!!!!!!!!! They are really cleaning up while Peter Copping is designing his first collection for the line. We will have to see at the end of June what Copping has to offer.

Watch and Learn

Check out this video, it's really interesting once you get into it towards the middle... I promise :)
