News: Business Is Looking Up For Stylish New Ann Taylor, Tom Ford’s A Bona Fide Filmmaker, And More

1. Business is looking good for Ann Taylor, which has recently tried to step up its image. Get in on the look with a pair of skinny jeans. [Crain's]

2. Designer Tom Ford’s first film, A Single Man, is apparently pretty good.  We recall his tenure at Gucci fondly, and would recommend a new fall handbag to keep up with that sort of glam style. [Grazia]

3. Guess it’s nice work if you can get it – Lindsay Lohan, newly-appointed artistic advisor at Ungaro, wandered out of one of their stores with a jacket after salespeople kindly took off the tags for  her.  We know it’s tough, but if you can pay for a leather jacket, we say go for it.  [NYDN, last item]

4. New Balance is suing LVMH over copyright infringement on a sneaker.  Odd that Louis Vuitton would imitate something so sporty; we’ll just stick with our tried-and-true (and not too expensive) workout gear.  [WWD]
