R.I.P. MALIK TAYLOR aka PHIFE DAWG -- the TRINI GLADIATOR, the FUNKY DIABETIC, the FIVE-FOOT FREAK. His work as a member of A TRIBE CALLED QUEST was formative for so many, his style legendary both on and off the mic. One of the precious few humans who looked good in a NEW JERSEY DEVILS jersey... KERING's hired MYTHERESA.COM buying director and street style star JUSTIN O'SHEA as Creative Director of BRIONI, a label known for classic, sharply-tailored suits. O'SHEA has no formal design experience or training, which suggests that KERING is confident in BRIONI's product, but not their ability to sell it to a younger demographic... Retailers who crunched the numbers aren't convinced by KANYE's $1 million weekend claims... I think buying ANDY WARHOL's PATEK PHILLIPE at auction might qualify as performance art... Yesterday, VOGUE welcomed our new robot overlords. No, not KENDALL, who just got an entire issue all to herself -- these robot overlords... Speaking of KENDALL, her latest CALVIN KLEIN billboard is weirdly transfixing, especially in person. Great photograph -- sorta looks like a Renaissance painting.
