- Oh Justin! You just make it too easy for all the haters sometimes! Teen super duper star Justin Bieber recently admitted to wearing women's jeans, because they fit him well and just "work".
He said, "I've worn women's jeans before because they fit me. It's not a trend; it's just, whatever works, works."
We wonder if he has ever shared jeans with girlfriend Selena Gomez? Hilarious!

At the Lacoste show this morning, there were still the polo shirts and the crisp, tennis court-ready pants that made it a household name—but if the collection proved anything, it’s that the label isn’t afraid of change. The biggest transformation came behind the scenes, with Felipe Oliveira Baptista taking over the reins as head designer. For spring ’12—his first for Lacoste—he made his presence known through inventive silhouettes (think exaggerated armholes), reinterpreted fabrics (the signature pique dress was knitted in silk), and a renewed elegance (even the humble parka looked sharp). “We tried to make it very, very new and exciting,” explained Baptista backstage after the show, counting “the twist on cuts and the color-block” as two of his contributions to the new direction of the label. “But at the same time,” he added, “we took it kind of easy and can still find classic pieces. The traditional customer is always going to have their things.” That’s not the only way that the brand evolved this season; Baptista also downplayed the iconic crocodile logo. “It was because the idea was to make Lacoste something you can wear head-to-toe, and if you wear it head-to-toe, you don’t want 10 crocodiles on your outfit,” he said with a laugh. “It can still say Lacoste without a crocodile.” And while he noted that Lacoste’s roots would always be in tennis, he himself isn’t exactly the sport’s biggest fan. When asked who he was rooting for at the US Open, Baptista just shrugged and smiled.

- A big congratulations is in order for Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson! They recently celebrated their 5 year anniversary and as you probably know, that is quite an achievement in La-La land! Diane is currently in Paris shooting the movie “Farewell, My Queen” based on the life of French Queen Marie Antoinette, and she decided to take advantage of the fact that she happened to be working in the most romantic city in the world. They arranged for Joshua to fly in, and then they went to a romantic dinner together and gave each other gifts.
Diane says that even though it’s hard being in long distance relationships, there are a few methods to make it work. She said, “Life is more important than work. We just celebrated our fifth anniversary. We met up in Paris, gave each other gifts and went to dinner – it was just lovely being together.
It’s hard sustaining relationships at a distance, but if you want to be together, it comes down to that. And I have had failed relationships because of a lack of commitment to that.
We have the three-week rule – we have to see each other, otherwise you drift. But we also enjoy our independence. We have our own lives and have a lot to bring back into the relationship because of that. I’m very independent. I’m not sure how I’d deal with someone who wanted to be with me 24/7.”

With fashion week comes fashion parties and judging from last night’s crowd, the industry was in need of some stress relief. Believe it or not, last night’s soiree circuit started uptown at Phillips de Pury for Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida’s Richard Hambleton retrospective. Thanks to the event’s other host—Giorgio Armani—many swans showed up to show off their best Armani pieces while circulating between two floors full of Hambleton’s work. The artist, who’s been called “the godfather of street art,” proved tempting enough to attract guests like Lauren Hutton, Karolina Kurkova, Bar Refaeli, Caroline Winberg and Doutzen Kroes, not to mention a downtown contingent including Theodora Richards in a barely-there catsuit, Alexa Chung in a quirky-cool dress with a cut-out neck, and Sky Ferrerira’s psychedelic frock.

How are designers making spring florals feel fresh? They’re printing them onto tailored pantsuits for a head-to-toe trend. Peter Som‘s punchy orange and blue suit, at left, features warped floral photographs while ADAM‘s roses, center, are slightly more whimsical. If you look closely at Prabal Gurung‘s purple version, at right, you’ll notice the flowers are actually wilting—though the effect’s no less vibrant because of it.
