Okay, really? This is really still happening???

Apparently Vogue Netherlands missed the multiple memos that blackface is never okay, because they are the latest guilty party.

The publication ran a spread in their May issue honoring Marc Jacobs and in a poor attempt to pay homage to his 2008-2009 muses Grace Jones and Josephine Baker they painted model Querelle Jansen's face black.

This is just wrong.

Wouldn't it have just been easier to hire an African American model?

Apparently not.

Thoughts???

After a 12 year hiatus, Philip Treacy returned to the London Fashion Week catwalks on Sunday!

The milliner's Michael Jackson meets Africa-inspired S/S 2013 collection was modeled by an all-black cast of models outfitted in some of the King of Pop's costumes and all we can say is it was a Thriller!

Mr. Treacy said of his fascinating collection:

"It was based on Africa getting rich. A future Africa and they just happen to be wearing Michael Jackson’s clothes. Jackson was exceptional — his talent, the dancing, the image, and I was touched to be able to work with his clothes. They were at my studio for a month before the show, and they were really freaking me out. I’d lift up a box, and there’d be a sparkly glove.”

Ha!

Speaking of sparkly gloves, that was hands down our favorite piece!

Besides the obvious tribute to Michael Jackson, Treacy also dedicated the show to his late friends Isabella Blow and Alexander McQueen, with a gospel choir which brought tears to those seated in the front row.

Wow. Bravo, Philip!

Grace Jones continued being her usual fierce self at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert in London on Monday night.

Not only was she wearing a shiny red and black body suit and show-stopping red headdress, she also hula-hooped through her entire four minute performance.

It's hard to believe this woman is 64 years old! We hope to be just like her when we grow up one day!

Kate Moss celebrated the New Year in Jamaica with good friends, lots of booze and skinny dipping.

The supermodel along with her husband Jamie Hince, Grace Jones and Chris Blackwell kicked off their New Year's Eve festivities at a beach party. It wasn't long before Kate stole the mic and treated the locals to a drunken rendition of Blondie's Rapture.

A spywitness told The Sun:

"I am more vintage than I am high fashion. I love Lady GaGa, but I would never try and go into her lane. She’s brilliant. But what I do love is the image of Grace Jones, David Bowie and Janet. The sound of my music is 90’s dance pop meets future, so I want to incorporate that in my fashion."

This past weekend, Naomi Campbell and her A-List friends pAArtied it up to celebrate the supermodel's 40th birthday in France.

On Saturday, guests including Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Grace Jones and Topshop's Sir Phillip Green attended Naomi's big 4-0 party held at the Hotel du Cap in Cannes where Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas performed a 45 minute set.

Guests were also treated to two special cocktails: the Campbelltini (vodka, cranberry juice, lime and triple sec) or a Naomito (rum, soda water, brown sugar and fresh mint).

Yum!

A party goer dished:

"Naomi was loving every minute of it, she has so much energy and was dancing all night. It felt more like a party fro someone in the twenties and by the end of it, Naomi looked completely legless."

Sounds like a good time was had by all, especially Naomi!
