From the Department of We’re Staying Out Of It: Model Rie Rasmussen apparently took Terry Richardson to task in Paris for exploiting models. [Page Six]

Details are finally emerging about the notorious Tommy Hilfiger/Axl Rose brawl of 2006. (We know—you’ve been on the edge of your seat ever since!) Apparently Axl pushed Tommy, Tommy called him rude, and a punch or two was thrown. Don’t worry, they’re bros again. Phew. [Vogue U.K.]

The weird/wonderful Japanese menswear line Number (N)ine is sadly shuttered, but its last collaboration, a range of sneakers with Converse, hits stores this weekend (pictured). Get ‘em while you can. [Cool Hunting via Racked]

Fashion favorite (and Balenciaga campaign star) Charlotte Gainsbourg is taking her show on the road. First stop: Coachella, California’s outdoor music fest. [Pitchfork via Hint Mag]

We usually try not to get too invested in the goings and comings in Barbie Land, but you may like to know that the girl’s got a friend, Darren, on the scene. The guy’s got connections: Jay-Z personally selected his outfit from Rocawear’s collections. [Nylon]

The Men Menswear Has In Mind, The Fashionable Fifty, And More…

Jack Kerouac, D.H. Lawrence, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, the wayward youths of Glasgow—no, not one of the stranger cocktail parties imaginable, just a few of the inspirations menswear designers drew on for the season. [WWD]

The New York Daily News rounds up fashion’s 50 most fascinating people to keep an eye out for this fashion week. (The aw-shucks one among them: our own editor in chief, Dirk Standen.) [NY Daily News]

Christian Louboutin has released his second Barbie doll, Dolly Forever, who wears a pair of the designer’s knee-high, fringed boots in hot pink. [Vogue U.K.]

Gaga Galaxy, Celebs Never Learn, And More…

Beyoncé and Lady Gaga in a video?! As a wise woman once said, “I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly.” [Grazia Daily]

Happy Birthday, Mr. Lauren. We hope that when we turn 70 we’ll be celebrating it somewhere like the Boom Boom Room (sorry, but we’re just not calling it QT). [WWD]

OMG OTK. An impassioned argument as to why the thigh-high boot trend shouldn’t trickle down. [The Awl]

Christian Louboutin clarifies his thoughts on the ankles of his new muse, Barbie. [WWD]

The Kardashian sisters—Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney—are designing a collection for Bebe, making them the 12,693rd celebrity team to try their hand at fashion. Sigh. [People]

Manolo Blahnik certainly won’t be happy about it. “I hate celebrities. All those pointless girls. They are ‘famous.’ Ridiculous,” he tells British Vogue before showing them his new collection over tea and cakes. [British Vogue]

Karl’s New Pop Star, Hermès Moves In, And More…

Following up Beth Ditto’s extremely fleshy performance at Fendi’s Paris fashion week party last season is no easy feat, but Herr Karl has deemed 18-year-old British pop star Pixie Lott (that’s her at left) up to the task. Whether or not she disrobes, this gig basically guarantees her a year of fashion-world relevancy. [WWD]

Guided by voices (no, seriously, his psychic told him to do it), Isaac Mizrahi opens his first store, er, we mean shop. “I’m afraid to call it a store because that immediately makes you think about sales expectations,” Mizrahi explained. Interesting strategy… [WWD]

Lady Gaga’s first foray into fashion design: Heartbeats, a line of high-resolution headphones that look a little bit like ear candy. Will they work if you have your pants on? The question remains. [The Moment]

Up next for Tom Binns? Barbie shoes and a booklet, available at Colette during Couture. [Fashion Week Daily]

Asprey’s new landlord, Hermès, claims to be just that, but we’re a little skeptical. Hermès scooped up Asprey’s 20,000-square-foot global headquarters-slash-flagship
store on New Bond Street in London and called it “property investment.” We call it the first step toward luxury-accessory domination. [WWD]
