STELLAR Galliano, Mortimer (inset)

• Cathy Horyn‘s fab life: The latest from the New York Times fashion writer and sometimes blogger: John Galliano just exchanged his pirate ponytails for Tinsley Mortimer-style ringlets, and Karl Lagerfeld is “as down to earth as a Rilke-loving, multilingual European can be.” Comment moderation on the blog is currently turned off. Go nuts.

• The law of Stella: Luggage company LeSportsac decided to follow a tried and true formula: If you put Stella McCartney’s name on something, it’ll sell out. This time, it’s signature handbags and suitcases, which, if we know anything about Stella, will come in her trademark dusty-pink—cheeky, yet sophisticated.

• Proenza influenza: Why wait till Friday when the Proenza Schouler for Target collection for “regular” people sizes 6-16 is available online? Some of it looks quite fetching. No offense Isaac.
