“When women are in positions of power, and they’re featured in a women’s magazine like Vogue … they tend to be incredibly unfairly criticized. It’s an incredibly old-fashioned approach. Just because you’re in a position of power, and you look good and you enjoy fashion — does that mean you’re an idiot, or that it’s not seemly to be in a woman’s magazine? If a man is in GQ, they don’t get the same kind of criticism.”
-Anna Wintour speaks the truth in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Alexa Chung: ‘I don’t really follow trends. It’s bullshit’
“I don’t really follow trends. I don’t know what they are. I think people make them up, and then they say, ‘Oh yeah, yellow’s really in this season.’ Sometimes there are obvious trends, but there aren’t any at the moment I can think of. Are there? It’s bullshit. Trends are a lie magazines make up so you feel like you have to buy something.”
-Alexa Chung reveals her thoughts on trend conspiracies.
Steven Tyler: ‘If you were to go through my closet right now, you’d lose your mind’
“If you were to go through my closet right now, you’d lose your mind. I have 300 square feet from the last 40 years, 20 clothing racks. I got boots from hell from everyone from what Brian Jones [of the Rolling Stones] used to wear to boots I’ve designed recently. Just tons of stuff. I’m exploding with ideas. Andy [Hilfiger] came to my L.A. house, you couldn’t walk through [the closet] either. You need a seeing eye dog to get through it all.”
-Steven Tyler tells WWD.
Coco Rocha: I’m in love with doing my own acrylic nails
Quit effing with my nails, thanks.
“I’m in love with doing my own acrylic nails—I learned early on with modeling that you need to cover up your nails, especially for shows, because sometimes they buff them three or four times a day and your nails get ruined. Once I have these nails on it’s like, ‘Here, I have the perfect nail, you don’t need to buff it or file it, leave it alone.’ So I just use generic fake nails with the super glue.”
-Coco Rocha reveals everything you’d ever want to know about her beauty to Into the Gloss.
Kate Moss: They discontinue the best products, it’s really annoying. #firstworldproblems

-Kate Moss reveals her beauty woes and must-haves to Vogue.
Frida Giannini Does Madonna & Robert Plant Impressions to Relax
I made it through the wildernesssss
“In the summer, my hair is curly, I get my guitar and I do Robert Plant [impressions] or sometimes, after I have had a nice glass of wine, I do Madonna, Like A Virgin - that’s one of my best ones. I can only be like that when I am in a very tight, cosy environment. That is the only way I can relax.”
-Gucci‘s creative director tells Vogue.
Marc Jacobs: I think it would be really exciting. I wouldn’t be able to say no [to Dior]
I'm a team player.
“I’m not thinking past today. I don’t know what I’m doing about anything. It has nothing to do with salary. I mean, I’d be honored to do Dior. But I work with a team, and I’d like to be able to keep working with them. I think it would be really exciting. I wouldn’t be able to say no.”
-Marc Jacobs reveals.
Sarah Jessica Parker: ‘[Halston] was being taken in a direction I wasn’t interested in pursuing’
Bye Bye
“Really the business was being taken in a direction I wasn’t interested in pursuing. That’s why Harvey [Weinstein] and I decided to leave the company. I don’t regret my time there. I feel honored to have worked there – even if only for a brief time. Halston was an amazing experience, and I’m really proud of what I got to do there and of the people I got to work with.”
Carine Roitfeld: ‘I think it’s terrible to wear borrowed clothes’
“I think it’s terrible to wear borrowed clothes. I don’t think it’s chic. A couple of years ago, Azzedine Alaïa loaned me a coat that I wore to New York. It was photographed a lot, and everyone wanted to buy it afterward. When I went to return it, Azzedine said, ‘No, you keep it. There’s nothing less chic than a woman who borrows clothes.’”
-Carine Roitfeld tells V Magazine.
Tom Ford: Girls Wear a lot of Makeup Today Cuz It’s ‘Cheaper than Buying Clothes’
“Have you noticed how much make-up girls are wearing these days? It’s because it’s cheaper than buying clothes. I love beauty products. At Gucci I’d spend days working with a make-up artist getting the show to look right. I was never drawn to walking in women’s shoes that’s maybe why some of them hurt. I never had a desire to wear the clothes. I’m probably the only man in England who doesn’t want to dress in drag. But make-up? That I’m serious about.”
-The Tom Ford reveals.
Anna Wintour: “I don’t think of myself as a powerful person.”
I get what you make in ten years, in two days.
“I don’t think of myself as a powerful person. You know, what does it mean? It means you get a better seat in a restaurant or tickets to a screening or whatever it may be. But it is a wonderful opportunity to be able to help others, and for that I’m extremely grateful.”
-Anna Wintour tries to make us feel better about our lives.
