Isabeli Fontana, Natasha Poly Cover Vogue China March 2012
We all love a good model cover. Nonetheless, Vogue China’s March 2012 Cover is so poor, I’d rather see a celebrity cover rather of it any day! Besides, Vogue China doesn’t care significantly about becoming original – a person need to have heard that we’d love to see a model on the cover of Vogue. So they decided to double the pleasure (we do love Isabeli Fontana and Natasha Poly, but this photo is tasteless)! (can you please stop, Vogue China? Use your imagination, fashion is all about creativity, not repetition!)
Our Super Bowl Fashion Face-Off: Tom Brady vs. Eli Manning Off the Football Field
Super Bowl XLVI is this Sunday, which will undoubtedly be the most watched television occasion of 2012. As opposed to all the glam awards shows that have been invading our living rooms most current Sunday nights, there’s no real fashion-spin we could put on the actual game. But since this is us, we couldn’t help but come up with something…
Enter our football fashion face-off in between the two opposing team’s quarterbacks: The New York Giants’ Eli Manning v. he New England Patriots’ Tom Brady. We did a little investigating into their off-the-field style – from vintage yearbook pictures, to down-time with the dogs. Football season could be coming to an finish, but fashion is naturally timeless. And neither of these guys have often been winners on the fash-field.
Disclaimer: Tom may possibly be Gisele’s baby-daddy, but that doesn’t make him the automatic winner. Click by way of to see if your pick on Sunday is also our choose for finest-dressed.
Styling Rooney Mara
Everybody is eager to see Rooney Mara’s outfit for the Oscars so till that day, we’ll settle for some Super Bowl (imaginary) Red Carpet. Especially given that Rooney’s family is and always has been about (American) football. These is what Rooney Mara wears for the Super Bowl. Possibly. Maybe. Courtesy Chloé and Balmain. (I don’t don’t forget fashion homes designing specifically for Blake Lively, though… hmm)
Geek Chic: Fashion Inspired by The Big Bang Theory
No column known as Geek Chic would be complete without an inspiration post on The Large Bang Theory, which is practically television’s adore letter to the geek planet. It is a show that manages to simultaneously mock and celebrate the enthusiastic obsessions that define geekiness. What much more could a girl ask for?
Just before we begin, I just want to reiterate that my goal is not to recreate costumes but to interpret the characters’ types into wearable looks for college girls. The Large Bang Theory characters put on quirky “real-life” clothes for more futuristic fashion, check out the previous Geek Chic posts on Star Trek-inspired looks and Doctor Who-inspired looks.

Are Fashion Internships Fundamentally Unfair? Industry Insiders Weigh In
Former Harper’s Bazaar intern Xuedan Wang’s suit against Hearst for violating state and federal wage and hour laws has certainly got people in the market talking.
One particular thing in certain that’s stood out is neither the unsavory working conditions of unpaid internships (read: lengthy hours, menial tasks, putting up with critical attitudes), nor the lack of compensation (regardless of whether by stipend or college credit) but the truth that, as Wang’s lawsuit states, “the prevalence of the practice nationwide, curtails opportunities for employment, [and] fosters class divisions among those who can afford to perform for no wage and those who can’t.”
Internships can be a great way to break into the industry–actually we’d argue that they’re pretty considerably the only way to break into the sector (so far, anyway–all of us right here at Fashionista, save Leah, started as Fashionista interns 1st). But could fashion’s heavy reliance on unpaid interns be generating an unfair disadvantage for children who don’t have their parents’ income to back them up? We asked a number of market insiders, all former interns who now function at significant publishing houses, and even though none would go on the record (out of worry that their publishers are now targets for these kinds of suits), the common consensus was a resounding yes.
