yes, she definitely wears an 8...but i wouldn't say she has "her pick" of labels...unless a brand is willing to make something new for her, a lot of designers just don't have size 8 samples lying around...she and her stylist came in to pull a few pieces for her recently, prior to the SATC premieres, and believe me, the pickings were slim...it's even tougher though, for women who may be just a little too large to squeeze into sample size, but aren't quite size 8 either...that's like, no-sample land

that would be amazing...and not entirely unprecedented (see: jil sander)...but at the same time, i don't see it happening, unless dior really makes him an offer he can't refuse...i would love it, though...kris van assche's work for dior has been kind of mediocre

why is everyone acting like this is such a weird concept?
yes, the styling in these particular selections is a little strange, and maybe pink suede croc would not be my material of choice...but have none of you ever heard of a trench coat before? a belted waist is as natural and classic an idea for men as it is for women...

i totally totally toally agree with this...it's so unimaginative...the thing is, i've noticed that it happens a lot less in french and italian magazines than in american ones...perhaps it has something to do with the relatively conservative style of americans in comparison to europeans...
and i've interned for a couple designers, and i've never heard of designers calling magazines to complain about press coverage...usually the designer is thankful to be featured, because most of what gets sent for shoots never ends up in the pages...they may have to call and harass them to send the clothes back on time, but not about the final results...the designer is not in the position of power there, especially when we are talking about an influential magazine like vogue...vogue can pick and choose which designers they want to feature, and the manner in which they wish to present them...if a designer is a difficult to work with, then the magazine doesn't need to keep working with them, and it's the designer who loses out

"We live in NYC people, where there are potential rapists in the same elevator as you are. Think girls, think!!!!!"
i'm sorry, but i can't stop laughing at this...
first of all, the implication that wearing a sheer top is somehow inviting rape...it's ludicrous.
second of all, the implication that only in new york city would one encounter a potential rapist in an elevator...did you like, just move to the city or something? relax.
anyway, i agree with sarahnicole...if you have the tits for it, go for it...just don't be gross about it...think yves saint laurent, not girls gone wild....

#8 -not if the fabric isn't available anymore, or too costly to produce in such a small quantity. The materials have to come from somewhere. In this case we will sometimes sell the sample if the customer's relationship is strong and they are a size 2.

i doubt she avoids wearing silk and wool...leather i can understand, but I don't think that amazing white givenchy number she wore the other night was 100% synthetic...
