In case you missed it, here are the top style stories from the week leading up to June 7th.


Karl Lagerfeld

Cavalli, Roberto Dropped a cigarette on the ground; discovered it had later been [sold on eBay for £250](<a href=). Will continue smoking to secure his financial future.

Cleveland, Pat The 60-something-year-old supermodel posed alongside her daughter Anna for Zac Posen’s Resort 2014 lookbook. Halston would approve.

Galliano, John Finally explains his anti-Semitic rant in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Givenchy Designer Riccardo Tisci will not do a couture presentation this season but he will be debuting a new watch line (and carry on designing coordinating glove-gown ensembles for Kim Kardashian).

Gucci Rumored to be developing a makeup line; we’re tickled pink at the idea!

Moss, Kate Is disarmingly charming in a prank call; acts genuinely distressed at the idea she has lost a friend’s High School Musical DVD. No joke needed.

Nabi, Youcef The president of Lancome steps down; goes out on top.

Parker, Sarah Jessica Announced that she is working on a shoe collection. Why did this take her so long?

Williams, Esther The swimsuit icon passed away at age 91.

Zilin, Luo Naomi Campbell’s protégée from The Face was spotted with the supermodel’s ex-boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin. Was subsequently fired from her modeling agency; but is lucky that she has not (yet) been hit with a flying blackberry.
