"Teresa Alfonso, Guinness’s personal assistant, tried to get her to eat some of the pasta that had been prepared for the production team. “If I eat, I can’t work,” Guinness, who had been subsisting on Red Bull and Ensure, said. “I’ll eat when I’m dead.”"

Fashion Quote of the Week: Jeff Koons on Salvador Dali

Jeff Koons, the American artist known for his larger-than-life balloon animals recently shared a memory that changed his life forever: meeting his hero Salvador Dali.
"I grew up in Pennsylvania, where I came across Salvador Dali in magazines and coffee-table books. When I was 17, I found out that Dali was staying at the St. Regis Hotel in New York. I contacted him to see if I could meet him, and he told me to come over. When I arrived, he greeted me and invited me to an exhibition of his work, where he posed for some photographs. I remember that he was very patient while I juggled my camera round. He was very generous to give his time to a young artist like myself. Meeting Dali had a big impact on me. That evening, on the way back home, I thought to myself: 'I could do this. Art could be a way of life.'"

Fashion Quote of the Week: Tinsley Mortimer on Heels


The Fashion Quote of the Week is brought to you by: Tinsley Mortimer from High Society

With the success of Gossip Girl and The Hills, a reality show about New York socialites seemed like a pretty good idea, thus the creation of High Society. The show follows around Tinsley Mortimer, a New York socialite, who recently split from her high school sweetheart.

While unpacking the furniture that once decorated her and Topper's marital apartment on the Upper East Side, Tinsley scurries around her new single apartment midtown in Prada heels. Tinsley explains,
"Unpacking in Prada heels is probably not the best thing, but I am never in flat shoes. If I ever happen to be barefoot walking around, I will actually start walking on my tippy toes, because I cannot be flat. I CANNOT. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.”
As absurd as it may seem, I completely agree with this girl. Be sure to catch High Society for your daily dose of East coast drama, those girls in LA really have no idea what they're competing with.

Fashion Quote of the Week: The Cut on Lindsay Lohan


The Fashion Quote of the Week is brought to you by: The Cut, New York Magazine's fashion blog

Overshadowed by her tabloid coverage, LiLo's clothing line 6126 is usually forgotten and after her mess of a collaboration with Emanuel Ungaro her credit as a fashion designer definitely took a hit. And although some of us may feel that she has hit rock bottom, being sentenced to jail isn't exactly a good thing, a few fashion experts disagree. In a post entitled "Going to Jail Will Probably Be Great for Lindsay Lohan's Clothing Line" Amy Odell explains,

Lindsay's line, sales of which already total around $3 million a year, stands to greatly benefit from Lohan's jail time. She's launching handbags this month, which, if she only has to serve the minimum 23 days of her sentence — a likely possibility — could come out at around the time she gets out of jail. And that could be the hyper-publicized Paris Hilton moment she's needed all along! WWD spoke to the owner of L.A.'s Kitson boutique, Fraser Ross, who stocks 6126:

“In general, the customer for all these lines is a fan of the celebrity,” Ross said. “If Lindsay’s fans are behind her, they will buy it. She gets the paparazzi, and she’s aware that [being in the public eye] is her livelihood.” His advice? “She should make sure she’s wearing her line when she gets out of jail.”
Who knows what Lindsay will be wearing when she gets out of jail but it better be 6126 according to her buyers.

Fashion Quote of the Week: Tim Gunn on Anna Wintour's Methods of Transportation


In his new book Gunn's Golden Rules, Project Runway's Tim Gunn shares an anecdote about the famous Vogue editor-in-chief and how she left a 2006 Peter Som show, being carried by bodyguards of course:
"I was with a colleague from Parsons, and we had been discussing the will-she-or-won't-she-take-the-elevator question, so we ran over to the elevator bay to see if Anna would deign to get on. She wasn't there. Then we looked over the stairway railing. And what did we see but Anna being carried down the stairs. The bodyguards had made a fireman's lock and were racing her from landing to landing. She was sitting on their crossed arms.. I ran to the window to see if they would put her down on the sidewalk or carry her to the car like that. They carried her to the car. And I thought: I will never forget this."
And neither will we. Luckily after The September Issue let us in to the heart of Vogue the world saw a different side of Anna (The Devil Wears Prada painted an interesting image of the editor) and to be frank, it's going to take a lot more than this to shock fashion devotees or make us love her any less.

Fashion Quote of the Week: The Cut on Rachel Zoe


The Fashion Quote of the Week is brought to you by: Amy Odell from The Cut, New York Magazine's fashion blog

In case you haven't already heard, Rachel Zoe has announced that she will be launching a clothing line and Amy has a few suggestions for what they could name the brand:

"Though she hasn't announced the name of the line, I DIE wouldn't be a bad one. Just think: "What a great faux-fur muumuu you have on — who is that by?" "I Die." "Are you okay?" "Duh, I am! I said, I Die." [Slowly backs away] You'll sound totally crazy telling people that's what you're wearing, which is so batty-old-lady now."

Fashion Quote of the Week: Kelly Cutrone, The City


The Fashion Quote of the Week is brought to you by: Kelly Cutrone on this week's episode of The City

"If you're not going to be backstage at a show and you don't get a good seat, you shouldn't go. If you're sitting anywhere past the third row it means — loser."

And that is why she is head of the PR firm People's Revolution and we love her (and all wish we worked for her).
