Fashion news: Smell like Lady Gaga, Selfridges apologises for gallows McQueen display, and is a naked mannequin obscene?
Selfridges sheepishly tweeted “We apologise for any offence caused. It was not intentional and the dress has been removed.” They’re referring to the Alexander McQueen dress that is hanging on a gallows in their display window in Manchester. So, uh, what I they thinking? [Racked]
Remember when designer/Britain’s Next Top Model judge Julien MacDonald said “You can’t have a plus size girl winning — it makes it a joke”? In a scrambling attempt to dig himself out of his hole, he told Grazia he was misquoted, claiming that “I think there is room for everyone in fashion, but if you’re a plus sized model the opportunities are less.” [The Cut]
Rumour has it, Lady Gaga is developing a fragrance with Coty that will have an “extremely unusual” scent. [Marketing]
People in a small Nebraskan city filed several complaints to police about a half naked mannequin in a shop’s display window. Police are still scratching their heads on whether or not a mannequin’s breast is considered an obscenity. We’re just plain scratching our heads. [AP via Racked]
The Olsen twins have a London edge for their upcoming Olsenboye contribution. Check out the video. [Racked]
Prada has just taken out a 360 million Euro loan to organize its massive debt, which the fashion house has carried on its back since the nineties. With expansion as the main focus, Prada will be opening thirty more stores in Asia and European cities like Prague, Berlin and Frankfurt. [Vogue UK]
Women’s Wear Daily, the fashion industry’s bible, turns 100 today. Back in 1910, a one year subscription cost $3. Oh, the good ol’ days. [WWD]
