Chanel Iman Self-Promotes on YouTube
>> Chanel Iman must have loved doing voice-overs during Fashion Week for her Style.com avatar, because in the past week, she's opened up a YouTube channel called "ChanelImanTV," "so you can get to know me a little better." Five videos have been posted already, including one in which she gives her mom a makeover on the set of a photoshoot, one in which she pranks a friend with a fake mouse, and perhaps the most talked-about, a video monologue in which she comes off like a mini-diva in the making, below.

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —Agent Provocateur has long gone with Kate Moss as its supermodel staple, but this time, Helena Christensen joins Alice Dellal in the brand's newest "Pirates" range. Accompanying the campaign is a "Pirate Provocateur" video (NSFW), in which Pirate Queen Helena seduces the captain of a ship while her pirate princess posse — Dellal included — robs him blind.

It's over. Fashion designers don't understand that, or maybe they don't want to.
It's over. Fashion designers don't understand that, or maybe they don't want to. Long evening dresses with pearl and sequins — for who, for where, for what? I dare say I prefer Zara, H&M and Banana Republic. That's serving women and it's cheap.

Rodarte Lands At Presse Boutique
We've been so caught up with Spring 09 happenings and elections and holidays that we nearly missed our chance to report on the Rodarte Archive Sale on Presse Boutique.
We've been so caught up with Spring 09 happenings and elections and holidays that we nearly missed our chance to report on the Rodarte Archive Sale on Presse Boutique. If you remember, we reported that the online store was to release seven Rodarte items resurrected from previous seasons and, if you remember, that release date was this afternoon. So far (7:21pm EST), the studded gloves ($580) and mohair scarf ($375) have sold out but the rest are still up for grabs (granted, in limited sizes). We're not quite as blown away as we hoped we'd be--there's definitely some color missing, or some extraspecialwow-factor but, alas, Rodarte can do no wrong in our minds. Check out the gallery below for the seven archival pieces included in Presse Boutique's sale. They might not be available forever but you could call it another page in e-commerce history.

We're celebrating with a trip down memory lane; The gallery below is a collage of Anna Wintour in her early years as editor of Vogue, when her bob was darker, her skirts were shorter, she smiled more .

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —There will be no campaign casting at Donna Karan. For the sake of being economical, Donna Karan has decided to take her Spring 2009 runway photography and reinterpret the images for a new layout rather than shoot an entire new ad campaign: "We wanted to get our message across in a creative way but with a consciousness." Look for the full result in February.
