Paul Budnitz has amazingly sent young adults scrambling after collectible vinyl figures as if they were children after toys. And toys, in essence, those figures are, but not in the child-friendly sense of the word. (In fact, Budnitz points out that his company's products often come armed with cigarettes and machine guns.) Kidrobot , which Budnitz conceived while collecting figurines during a stay...

We just posted that Karl Lagerfeld is nutty with a serious case of verbal diarreah. But Lagerfeld is so off his rocker-bound-butt that he leaves behind his roots. His own heavy roots; “No one wants to see curvy women. You’ve got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that [...]

Models are often known for their legs or eyes, or the way they walk, but rarely does the industry find a model with real personality. We were lucky enough to have met Daul Kim , and we can safely say she had personality and then some. Born in Seoul, South Korea, her career kick-started with spreads in Korean Vogue . It helped that she had impeccable street style that was praised by bloggers and editors....

Chanel is opening a new boutique at the Pennisula in Shanghai's historic riverfront promenade. And because nothing sells women's clothing like a shirtless guy, Karl Lagerfeld has designed the ad campaign around his boytoy and muse Baptiste Giabiconi. But of course, darling. Don't get me wrong: I love it. I love Baptiste, and I love Chanel. I'm just a little worried about the depth of Karl's passion...
