Hilary Alexander’s reports from Milan are whirlwind morsels of new news (Versace seamstresses dispatched to LA!), old news (Kate Moss on the British Vogue cover for Top Shop!), and things that make us laugh too hard. Among that last category is this:

Christopher Bailey may be headed to Vanity Fair’s Oscar party for the first time, but “one definite no-show for the Oscars is American Vogue’s editor in chief, Anna Wintour.

�No way. I’m off to London to see Equus,� she told me. Asked about the controversial nude scene by Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe – currently Heat magazine’s ‘Torso of the Week’ – Ms Wintour smiled and said:�I’m ready!�.

Yes, but is Harry Potter ready for Anna?

Meanwhile, Women’s Wear Daily had a piece today called The Power of Anna - we assumed it was about the Vogue commandeuse and clicked, totally disappointed to discover it was actually about Anna Nicole Smith.

And finally, in vaguely Wintorian news, will Meryl Streep wear Prada to the Oscars?
