The Red Threadless cake by Lauren Babis :: Threadcakes: A Threadless Cake Contest by Chris Cardinal!

I am particularly taken with this, in light of the fact that my husband and I cut our wedding cake with a Sawzall.

Why buy that fall dress now when it’s likely to go on sale even before the weather is cool enough to wear it?

That’s one of the many issues raised at the CFDA’s town hall meeting yesterday, which started out with a focus on reforming Fashion Week and quickly turned to related issues and proposed solutions. Including one idea from Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour (right) that screamed “antitrust violation”:

“Could someone lead a committee that would make ground rules for retailers of when the discounting starts, and then all of the retailers can agree to it?” Ms. Wintour suggested.

“That’s illegal!” [designer and CFDA president Diane] von Furstenberg said with some horror.

“Is that something we can change?” Ms. Wintour said. “We have friends in the White House now!”

Counterfeit Chic blog highlighting the astonishingly clueless and entitled Anna Wintour suggesting how to solve fashion’s ills, not to mention the all-too-cosy relationship between the industry and the fashion press.
