Does Janie Bryant ever sleep? The Mad Men costume designer, who has also created clothing line for sale on QVC, a nail polish range and vlogs for Banana Republic, has now teamed up with the 88-year-old brassiere brand Maidenform to work on a viral marketing campaign. Will be as successful as the legendary “I dreamed I…” campaign from the 50s and 60s? Only YouTube will tell… [Fashionista]

T’was tweeted: “thanks vanity fair for NOT crediting me in the story….VANITY UN-FAIR …..agrhhh!!!!” Argh indeed, according to stylist Nicola Formichetti, the man behind the much-buzzed gray-haired Lady Gaga Vanity Fair shoot, the mag didn’t credit him for his work. And off to Twitter it went. [@formichetti via Racked]

Daphne Guinness says of her often high-concept outfits, “I do it for the old people who laugh at me in airports.” Having recently spent five hours stuck at Dulles airport, we call that a public service. [The Cut]

Kate Moss has just landed her 30th cover of British Vogue, her sixth September issue in the last decade. Looks like things aren’t all bad in the life of Moss. [The Cut]

Brigitte Bardot recently said of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy “she’s as beautiful as she is badly brought-up,” after the French first lady failed to say thank you when Brigitte gifted her with a special edition Bardot-inspired Lancel bag. She probably forgot about it after she tossed it in the closet to live with the other Birkins and diamond-studded Chanel bags she received that day. [Daily Mail]

British designer Gareth Pugh has just made his retail debut with a shop in Hong Kong. Surrounded by the likes of Gucci, Hermès and Ann Demeulemeester, Pugh relishes “It creates a sense of luxury around the brand and what I do that may not be so apparent in other cities, such as London.” Translation: my gothy sci-fi designs are now luxury-by-association.

Naomi Campbell will be testifying at former Liberian president Charles Taylor’s trial. The model, who allegedly received a large uncut blood diamond from Taylor, has demanded that the media does not photograph her and that her lawyer speaks at the stand for her. [Jezebel]

After the blogosphere just wouldn’t shut up about speculations of Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding dress, you can all be put out of your misery to see the Vera Wang gown here in all its glory. [Huffington Post]
