News: Gossip Girl Clothes, Wintour’s Fight With Italy, More

1. British clothing line Miss Selfridge is Gossip Girl-crazy, and soon will roll out a collection based on the style of each of the characters. It will include boho styles for Vanessa, a bandage dress (Serena) a Blair-worthy pretty floral skirt with ruffle top, and a nude and black tulle skirt Jenny would lust after.

2. After announcing she’ll only attend 3 days of the 7 day Milan Fashion Week, Anna Wintour asked that some events be switched around, but Italy’s mayor wrote the editrix a letter repremanding her: “No one, not even if her name is Anna Wintour, can take the liberty to do and undo our fashion calendar.” See our calendar of online sample sales to get really great deals no one can undo.

Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir, whose uniforms were designed by Vera Wang, has expressed his interest in becoming a fashion designer as his second career, saying he wants to open stores and launch several fashion lines.
