1. London Fashion Week may be making a comeback, but it’s as wacky as ever, with horned shoulders, hairy clothing, and more.  Anna Wintour deigned to attend this year; we wonder if there’s anything showing up that’s her style.  [Guardian]

2. Speaking of Anna Wintour, McKinsey must still be in action over at Vogue, as editors there are splitting up attendance at Milan and Paris fashion weeks, rather than all going.  If you’re on an editor-style-budget, we’d recommend a good pair of affordable slacks. [The Cut]

3. According to a recent survey, 52% of high-end goods consumers considered a luxury brand that also marketed items for mass consumption as no longer being a luxury brand.  Oh really now, why can’t we just have both?  [WWD]

4. Louis Vuitton may have won against eBay, but the luxury retailer lost its battle against Google to keep search engines from using its brand names.  Forget the search engines – we make it easy to find the best designer goods. [Telegraph]

1. Despite Anna Wintour’s critiscm of Sienna Miller’s appearance, who appears in The September Issue, the actress seems to have forgiven the editor by appearing with her at a screening of the documentary.  The film, which opens in New York on Aug. 28, certainly has garnered a lot of gossip.  [Daily Mail]

2. Classic outdoor outfitter L.L. Bean is updating its look with a new collection, L.L. Bean Signature.  The line debuts in March, so stay suited up for the outdoors until then with a pair of solid fall boots. [NYT]

3. WWD reports on the top beauty brands purchased, with Clinique leading in the prestige category and Olay winning for mass market.  For more top picks, check out beauty guides that narrow it all down.  [WWD]

4. Eight British designers, including Stella McCartney, will redesign hospital gowns to auction off as a benefit for the Teenage Cancer Trust.  If you’re not planning a hospital stay anytime soon, get into the designer spirit with celebrity dresses. [The Guardian]

1. There will be a live Twitter chat today at 5 pm EST with The September Issue director RJ Cutler (follow at http://twitter.com/septemberissue.)  For more of an inside scoop on what happens behind Vogue’s closed doors, check out The September Issue. [Facebook]

2. L’Oreal claims it has invented a serum to make lashes grow for a longer period of time before they fall out, thus resulting in longer eyelashes.  We’d like this to be a real, FDA-approved product, but in case it turns out to be of the snake oil variety, we’ll stick with the best mascara we know and love.  [Daily Mail UK]

3. Sewing machine manufacturer Tesco reported that its sales have risen 198% since this point last year, as people are spurred by the recession to make their own clothes.  In case you haven’t turned into a master seamstress just yet, don’t worry, because we’ve got you covered for all the best new fall styles.  [The Guardian]

4. In June it was widely reported that Vera Wang was a strong potential candidate to appear on Dancing With The Stars.  Alas, it’s not true, so we’ll just have to get our fill of Ms. Wang at sample sales.  [The Cut]
