70th Annual Golden Globe: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The chilling 55 degree weather didn’t stop the celebs from glamming it up for the 70th Annual Gold Globes. The night turned out to be filled with surprises including Jodie Foster coming OUT, even though it wasn't a mystery as well fashion hit and misses. From Hunger Games starlet Jennifer Lawrence looking dazzling in her red Dior Haute Couture to Helen Merrin looking like the total GMILF in Badgley Mischka. Then there is the group that should have looked in the mirror a few more times, or maybe just hired and REALLY honest stylist, like break-out star Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, a Hollywood make over should be underway for her, but they should certainly keep some of her Atlanta sass. And then there is the downright ugly, the industry is a great outlet for individualism but sometimes an event is an event and you should look you BEST.

London's Mens Fashion Week: F/W 2013
Alexander Mcqueen
The label recently opened a men's shop on Savile Row, where Beau Brummell kick-started male style as we now understand it more than two centuries ago, where McQueen himself began his career more than two decades ago, so there was purest logic to the attention paid to hyper-tailored tradition, and its roots in military dressing. But it was purest McQueen to explode that tradition, fracturing the pinstripes, patchworking the classicism, layering a velvet jacket over a silk dressing gown for the kind of languidly decadent effect that is as timeless as Oscar Wilde's prose. OMG I so what EVERY SINGLE PIECE, some just to stare at...

London's Mens Fashion Week: F/W 2013
Topman Design
The brand that has launched a ton of fashion men running around New York City, has revealed its collection and I can NOT wait to grab a few items when they hit our shores. Huge parkas with matching deep-pleated cotton drill pants evoked vintage images of the gentleman explorer. Peacoats printed with Tibetan patterns and knits woven with the om symbol hinted at the Shangri-la he might find when he reached his mountaintop. The shift in the show's color scheme from winter white to rich Buddhist oranges and fuchsias made the journey even more vivid, with a blast of George Harrison's "What Is Love?" to reinforce our traveler's spiritual enlightenment

Hermes Fights Counter-Feiters From In - HOUSE
Hermes is not messing around when it comes to counterfeits. Last month, the legendary luxury label shut down 34 counterfeit sites–and won $100 million in damages–and now they’ve helped the French police bust an international crime ring that produced and sold knockoffs of their bags, WWD is reporting.
Apparently, the illegal operation was making millions in Hermes counterfeits–one Paris public prosecutor put profits at 18 million euros (or $22 million) for just one branch of the ring–and they were doing it all with the help of actual Hermes employees.
“This operation concludes a one-year investigation following an Hermes complaint based on clues and abnormal behavior identified through the house’s internal monitoring systems,” Hermes told WWD.
It’s unclear how exactly the employees facilitated the operation, but when the French national police busted the ring on Thursday they found clandestine workshops filled with precious leather skins. A dozen or so individuals were believed to have been arrested, and two Hermes employees have been dismissed. More employees of the luxury label could be facing a similar fate, as Hermes believes that other current staff members could also have been involved. Yikes.
Is it just us, or is it time for an anti-counterfeiter superhero to magically appear?
