"Andrea Linett Joins the Michael Kors Team: After going public at the end of last year, Michael Kors continues its world domination expansion by appointing Andrea Linett (formerly Lucky‘s founding creative director) to a new post as vice president and global creative director. While the job description is a little vague (WWD says Ms. Linett will be “working across various concepts at the company, and contribut[ing] to the overall consistency and coherence of them,” whatever that means,) we congratulate Linett on her new job, and Michael Kors for adding jobs to our floundering economy!" - Fashionista.com - via wwd.com

"Mickey Drexler Doesn’t Like Malls, But Young Shoppers Do: J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler reportedly complained that the “pungent odors” of malls detracts from the overall shopping experience. Meanwhile, a recent poll shows that most 18-25 actually prefer shopping in stores (as opposed to online), using it as an excuse to be social. While there’s no doubt that today’s shopping centers have a very different vibe from the Mall Rats era, sometimes you just need to stop for an arcade game or Orange Julius on your way to J.Crew. And who didn’t fantasize about being locked overnight in a mall? Let’s keep the dream alive, Mickey." - Fashionista.com - via refinery29.com

"Jay-Z Lays Off Workers In Time for Baby Blue’s Arrival: Looks like Blue Ivy won’t be receiving baby gifts from 28 staffers in daddy Jay-Z’s Rocawear camp, who were all laid off just one day prior to the Chosen One’s birth due to “economic reasons.” Since Jay might need reminding of what “50 grand is to a mother-effer like [him],” we’ll explain: It’s a whole lot to some other people who are suddenly without jobs." - Fashionista.com - via jezebel.com

"Fascinators Banned from June’s Royal Ascot: The Royal Ascot in Britain is cracking down on fascinators, cleavage, and, well… crack. A new, more clearly stated dress code is now officially in place for the event in an effort to swing it from chavy to classy: Strapless tops and above-the-knee hems are banned. Fancy fascinators will only be allowed in the grandstand areas; whereas the royal enclosure (aka the big boy seats) will allow only hats and headpieces that cover at least 4″ of the head at the base. Look out for K-Mid sporting the latest fad, hat-hair." - Fashionista.com - via fashionfoiegras.com

"Ungaro Can’t Catch a Break: It hasn’t been a good start to 2012 for Emanuel Ungaro, which announced that, in addition to not being able to deliver its spring collection to retailers, it also won’t be presenting a fall collection at fashion week and has canceled all appointments for pre-fall. Current owner Asim Abdullah vaguely stated that the brand is going through an “internal reorganization” that will allow for Ungaro to become “profitable in the near future.” Hmm… This seems suspiciously (and perfectly) timed for former Ungaro guest-designer Lindsay Lohan’s 2012 comeback. Coincidence?" - Fashionista.com - via wwd.com

Everyone from Rolls-Royce to Versace to Coach is putting out limited edition dragon-related products in “celebration” of the Chinese New Year.

"Carey Mulligan Takes a Tumble in Repeat Dress: Carey wore the same Roland Mouret dress on two red carpets in one month, and tripped in front of a crowd in her really tall YSL pumps. I think this calls for a collective ‘aaaaaw.” Ready? “Aaaaaw.”" - Fashionista.com - via fashion.telegraph.co.uk

"YouTube Breaks Down the Karl Lagerfeld Language Barrier: If you’ve ever had trouble understanding Captain Chanel’s heavily accented speech, here’s YouTube’s earily accurate closed captioning feature to the rescue. Karl is actually full of worldly gems, like singing about dogs and assessing rugs. Now you know." - Fashionista.com - via buzzfeed.com

"Dior Releases Garden-Scented Nail Polishes: Dior has launched a set of nail polishes entitled “Garden Party” that allegedly release an “intoxicating rose fragrance” when dry. They’d better, because at $23 a pop, there’s no way we’re actually gardening with these babies painted on our fingers." - Fashionista.com - via style.mtv.com
