Donatella Versace showed her Spring 2009 Versace collection in Beijing, China yesterday--first seen this season at Milan Fashion Week, the collection was re-shown with Chinese models and an identical stage. Versace arranged the show, in part, as a vehicle for humanitarian work. To see images from the fashion show, click here.  

It has been rumored that Mike & Chris is going out of business. A canceled sample sale started the snowball of gossip via Racked's infamous tipline.

Wal-Mart and Urban Outfitters both made it out of the third quarter with overall revenue growth. Their success can be attributed to a combination of low price points and well-timed advertising campaigns.

...and the Commes des Garcon madness ensued. WWD takes us through the adventure play by play and, Network Partner, ShinyStyle, has tug of war videos and photo galleries

Trend Alert: Asymmetrical Leather Jackets

What is it about leather jackets that make one look instantly cool?

What is it about leather jackets that make one look instantly cool? Maybe it penetrated our brain at a young age while we watched The Fonz in his tough leather jacket in Happy Days. Well, times have changed with women and men alike sporting this bad to bone outerwear. The off-center version of the classic jacket will give you a sexy, modernized look, a la Sarah Larson in Rick Owens. I dare you to be a bad gal and try out an asymmetrical leather jacket.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen

Sunny Serena was looking gorgeous per usual in last night's episode of Gossip Girl.

Sunny Serena was looking gorgeous per usual in last night's episode of Gossip Girl. Being the character with the most wearable wardrobe, Serena injected some street cool into her school uniform with a fetching pair of flat boots from Barney's Co-op, a trusty Mike & Chris leather jacket, and a Ferragamo bag. Now that you've got her look, all you need is the never-ending parties, Blair drama, and a quick-witted underdog boy toy. However, that might all be thrown into turmoil with the return of the postal-savvy "G" next week . . .
