Cathy Horyn Has The Critic Tables Turned On Her!

cathy-horyn-hedi-slimane-twitter-rant-nyt-stands-by-her-wenn.jpg

They say that karma’s a bitch, and Cathy Horyn is finding that out the hard way.

The New York Times fashion critic was recently the victim of Twitter rants by YSL’s creative director Hedi Slimane.

She was also the subject of a full-page ad in WWD taken out by Oscar de la Renta where he called her a “three day old hamburger.”

Now, the Times Style editor, Stuart Emmrich, has come to Horyn's defense in hopes of silencing the critic's own critics.

Emmrich wrote in a wordy article published on the NYT's blog:

Model Talk With River Viiperi

River Viipericontinues to win a special place in our hearts!

The 21 year old is one of the hottest male models roaming the catwalk and recently sat down to a highly entertaining interview with WWD, and he was hungover to boot!

Hey, he just turned 21, give him a break!

During his sit down, River dished on the fascinating world of models and blogging.

Here are some HIGHlights:

On his hangover cure:

"A good meal — eggs with some kind of bread — and a beer. Beer has vitamin B12 in it."

On his weirdest modeling experience:

"The weirdest I’ve felt was my first job ever. It was an editorial in London. They made me take my underwear off and cover myself with a shower curtain. It was almost see-through so I was like, ‘What’s this all about?’ I used to be quite shy, but modeling has made me more comfortable in those types of situations."

On the biggest male model stereotypes:

"That we don’t eat shit like McDonald’s and that we go to the gym every day for like three hours. I just started working out like four days ago. I swear to God. I surf, that’s how I stay healthy, not because of the gym."

On his blog Never Back Down:

"When I first came to New York I was so bored. My friends were like, ‘Do a blog. It’s the hip thing to do for male models.’…It was mostly started so I could write about what I was doing and explain the real life of a model. It’s not as exciting as everyone thinks it is!"

He just started working out four days ago?! It must be those good model genes his mama gave him!

Was Raf Simons Fired From Jil Sander???

Filed under: Fashion SmashionJil Sander

raf-simons-reportedly-fired-from-jil-sander.jpg

Last week Raf Simons found himself unemployed after Jil Sander abruptly decided to return to her own label after eight years, but apparently there's more to the story than they're letting on.

WWD's Bridget Foley wrote on Tuesday Simons was "unceremoniously dumped" or to put it bluntly he was fired.

Ouch.

She goes on to say the situation was handled very poorly, especially by Jil Sander herself who fueled rumors while "strolling openly around Première Vision, and, when asked why by WWD Japan, responding that the announcement of her next project would come during the Milan collections."

How tacky!

We wonder what Raf has to say about this or if he'll plead the 5th.

Justin Bieber's Someday Named Fragrance Of The Year

Filed under: Justin BieberFragranz!

macys-expects-biebers-someday-fragrance-to-be-biggest-launch__opt__opt.jpg

Justin Bieber is an award-winning perfumier!

His record breaking and moneymaking scent, Someday, has earned itself the title of Women's Wear Daily's Fragrance of the Year.

The fashion bible wrote:

"Justin Bieber’s debut fragrance, Someday, shattered sales records, posting numbers that the celebrity scent category hasn’t seen since the days of J.Lo’s Glow, according to The NPD Group. (Industry sources reported Someday racked up $3 million in sales in as many weeks at Macy’s.) Of course, the idea of a pop idol launching a fragrance is nothing new. But Bieber and his licensee, Give Back Brands, came up with a business plan that proved irresistible to buyers: The proceeds of Someday were earmarked for a variety of charities, making the fragrance a guilt-free indulgence during a period when consumers were still wary about spending on luxuries. Talk about an idea whose day has come."

You know what this means, right? More Bieber fragrances!

Ha!

Congrats, Biebs.

Quote Of The Day

karl-lagerfeld-on-stimulating-the-economy.jpg

"I think they should make a tax so that when you earn a certain amount of money, you have to spend a certain amount on shopping. To buy whatever … And that way, we create tons of jobs. I think it’s a good idea. What I hate is people with a lot of money who don’t spend it."

Karl Lagerfeld to WWD on how he'd fix the economy.
