Fashion Week Gossip

"gossip ... gossip ... we want gossip!"
Meatballs

First off, Guy Trebay tells us in a rather creepy, drooling way, that models are back in style. But, we give a nod to Trebay because he mentioned Thorstein Veblen, our favorite American sociologist and a great influence on The Corsair's writing. Anyone who knows Veblen is down with me; I'm easy like Sunday morning.

Heatherette is in, says The Boston Herald:

"John Bartlett and the Heatherette team of Trevor Rains and Richie Rich showed spring collections inspired by the world of academia.

"Bartlett held class at the staid Harvard Club, where boyish models, dressed in green sharkskin suits and pink camouflage shirts and ties, played hacky sack and threw paper airplanes. The suits were beautifully tailored, and the Dr. Seuss striped socks offered just the right touch of spunk."

Naomi comes clean (sniff sniff), as Reuters reports:

"'I did a drug, a speedy drug,' (Naomi Campbell) added, according to a transcript of the (Michael Parkinson chat) show released Friday.

"Parkinson asks whether it was like cocaine.

"Campbell replies: 'Uh-huh'"

Also, Socialite Casey Johnson slipped, fell, and exposed a happy funbag, according to Rush and Molloy (2nd Item):

"The baby-oil heiress strutted into the after-party for designer Alvin Valley's show and quickly spotted nemesis Fabian Basabe. Swiveling on one stilettoed heel to leave in a huff, Johnson slipped and crashed to the floor in front of a scrum of socialites as her purse went flying.
Ruffled, she regained her footing, and glided over to where her friends had congregated - avoiding rival Tinsley Mortimer in the process. But before her dignity had a chance to recover, her wardrobe malfunctioned.

"'Her breast was hanging out,' our spy sniped. 'I'm staring, the male bathroom attendant is staring. She walked up to the mirror and didn't even notice.'

"Eventually, a generous galpal pointed out that she was having a Janet Jackson moment - and Casey readjusted and wobbled back to the party."

Fucking Tainsley Mortimer. Fabien Wasabe is always getting rich girls into trouble, as you will remember the man-about-town was notoriously banished from White House functions after gallivanting with First Daughter Barbara Bush. Fashionweekdaily names the other "It" boys at the tents.
