We can’t wait to see this!

As we mentioned before, Barneys and Disney have partnered up for the holidays to create an animated short dubbed, “Electric Holiday,” featuring beloved Disney characters hobnobbing with some of fashion’s most notorious personalities.

The short, which will be looped on LED tiles covering the facade of the Madison Avenue store, begins as a dream as Minnie Mouse finds herself gazing longingly at a Lanvin gown in a Barneys window display.

Her daydreams whisk her off to Paris

A big congratulazioni are in order for Franca Sozzani!

The Vogue Italia has been appointed as the United Nations' first ever Goodwill ambassador!

Sozzani will be responsible for the two-year platform, Millennium Development's Fashion 4 Development program, which is geared toward encouraging fashion's biggest players to work on sustainable development projects.

The program's co-founder and global chair, Evie Evangelo, divvied out deets about what they want to accomplish:

"[Fashion 4 Development aims toward] increase economic levels, decrease poverty and hunger, and help empower women in these countries."

On Thursday, Franca is expected to attend a roundtable discussion at the U.N.’s Manhattan headquarters with top designers, retailers, and U.N. officials sitting in as well.

Fashion 4 Development sounds nifty! Let's hope a lot of fashion goodness comes out of this arrangement.

Vogue Italia's editor Franca Sozzani has been known to make raise questions of race in the past, including producing the magazine's first "Black Issue," and has even claimed that "there's no racism in fashion."

While her statements are usually perceived as more forward-thinking, we have to admit, she made an extremely odd remark on her blog the other day.

She posted:

TIME magazine has made a list of the top 100 most influential fashion icons since 1923, but it's who they left off the list that's really creating a buzz.

Noticeably missing from the list of designers, models, photographers, editors, muses, and stylists include Rachel Zoe, Tyra Banks, Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Sarah Jessica Parker — and that's just off the top of our head!

Geez. TIME's selection committee is strict!

So who were the lucky 100 that made the cut? See for yourself AFTER THE JUMP!
