Angelina Jolie stars in "The Bible"

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style, Books

At first we did not believe the Drudge Report post about a new version of the Bible called Bible Illuminated: The Book. We doubted that such a book really existed, never mind that it used a photo of Angelina Jolie as one of the illustrations.

Turns out we were wrong.

Top designers are in love with Mary Kate Olsen


Most of us are of the opinion that when it comes to the Olsen twins, Ashley is the one who wears the normal stuff. But, in a new issue of Elle, designers are falling all over themselves to fawn over Mary Kate!

Running replaces sex as #1 recommended weight control method in Japan

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing


A new trend is taking over the streets of Japan, literally. People are running in huge numbers, particularly young women who live in the cities.

The fad is especially strong in trendy Tokyo, where women's corporate marathon clubs are meeting before and after work to do a few laps around the Imperial Palace. The main goal is to "stay healthy, pretty and sane" with the extra benefit of getting to show off special marathon gear from Danskin and New Balance.

Vice Magazine's 2008 Fashion Issue

Filed under: Style in the News

Vice Magazine's 2008 Fashion Issue is online now
Bloody brilliant. We're loving Vice Magazine's 2008 Fashion Issue, now available to view online in full. We especially love the column entitled "I Hate Fashion" written by Tracie Egan of Jezebel.com. Our sentiments exactly. But wait... we also totally identify with Christopher Bollen's article "I Love Fashion." Oh fashion, how we love to hate you! The trend reports for NYC and London are spot on as well, and hilarious to boot. And who but Vice would dare to cast porn star Sasha Grey in a provocative but very clever fashion spread? (Get it? Spread?) Seriously, Vice's snarky take on all things fashion is not to be missed.

The Simpsons go high fashion

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Finally, the celebrities you've always wanted to see dolled in high-dollar designer wares. In celebration of the upcoming release of the much-anticipated Simpsons movie, Homer, Marge, and the rest of the gang are appearing in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar -- decked in Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier and Versace.

Glenda Bailey, the magazine's editor-in-chief, commissioned Julius Preite (layout artist for The Simpsons) to illustrate the world's favorite animated family at a number of Fall Fashion Week shows -- drawn alongside cartoon versions fashion industry icons like Linda Evangelista, Karl Lagerfeld and Louis Vuitton.

It's now clear that the Simpson family have long been fooling the public, and beneath their unruly facade possess a grace, elegance, poise and charm rarely seen in bright-yellow toons. Bravo! Applause! Tres magnifique! Doh!

Vogue's editor-in-chief to hit the big screen

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Soon, you'll get to see what Anna Wintour, the icy editor-in-chief at Vogue magazine, is really like. As reported by Variety.com, A&E IndieFilms is putting together a documentary of Wintour at work, more specifically the work she did to create the September issue of Vogue, which is the so-called annual "fashion bible."

With the success of the recent film "The Devil Wears Prada," -- which was reportedly based on Wintour -- the company thinks this documentary will be well-received. A&E IndieFilms says the documentary will be "a very candid and very exclusive window into this iconoclast, her fame and her notoriety."

If Wintour is as cold and insincere as Anne says, then I think this documentary won't try to hide it. And she may not be the friendliest person on earth, but she's proven that she can run a successful magazine. I'm also interested to see how a huge magazine like Vogue comes together from start to finish.

The one catch? The film isn't set to debut until 2008.

Book style: Conduit

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News

When someone mentions the term "literary magazine", do you think of those periodicals relegated to the literary ghetto, shelved between gaming mags and graphic novels at the mega-Borders out by the airport?

If so, Conduit gives you reason to pause. "The only magazine that risks annihilation" (its motto), Conduit is a quarterly devoted to bringing the very coolest in art, essays, poetry, interviews and humor.

Whereas most lit mags are boring squares (in every sense of the word), every issue of Conduit is a long, slim volume (11 inches high by 5 inches wide) guaranteed to: 1) impress your less-than-literary friends; and 2) not fit into any of your bookshelves.

Put another way, at $8 a pop, Conduit is cheaper than seeing the current Johnny Depp-vehicle Pirates of the Carribean ... and it gets you a whole lot more credibility among your pretentious friends.
