Koi Suwannagate is heading to Anthropologie, which is fast becoming this season’s serious high-low contender. Suwannagate’s offerings will register on the higher end of high, with prices stopping just shy of $300. If her gorgeous detailing comes through, we think it’ll be worth it. [WWD]

Recession scorecard: J.Crew is up; Hermès is down. While the former can boast only a slight increase in net income, the latter, unfortunately, has seen its profits dip 7 percent. And JPG might be leaving, too? Ouch. [WWD]
Versus is back. Donatella Versace’s”young and spunky” line is showing in Milan this season after Christopher Kane [...]

What with throwing last month’s BCBG-sponsored Art Party and hosting last week’s intimate Lou Reed concert, the Whitney has been feeling awfully chic of late. Cue Donatella Versace, who stilettoed into the museum this afternoon to make that three for the trend. The occasion was the launch of Art Unites, an initiative from Versace and [...]

After all the anticipation, the countless reports of who’d be wearing what, and which designers would be squiring which celebrities, the Costume Institute ball is over. We had many favorites. Kate Bosworth’s Veronica Lake locks, fire-engine-red lips, and lacy Stella McCartney were a bright spot; as were Jessica Stam’s coppery Rodarte (it matched her hair) [...]

The cocktails for the night [...]

Donatella Versace relaunched her little sister label, Versus, today, debuting a small capsule collection of accessories made in collaboration with Christopher Kane, her onetime accessories consultant at Versace. Clothes will follow in July. “It’s a younger version of Versace, but with the same rock and roll spirit. Who better than Christopher to revive it?” she [...]

Donatella Versace has long been a fan of Christopher Kane. The Scotsman snagged a post as an accessories consultant with the Italian at the beginning of his career and worked on her Atelier Couture collection. And while some fashion gossips conjecture that Kane may one day replace Donatella at Versace’s helm, we say all in [...]

Donatella Versace can add international do-gooder to her resume. The blonde-and-bronzed designer visited the school she funded in earth-quaked Sanjiang, China, yesterday with local celeb Jet Li. (We’d like to make a joke about leather uniforms, but would be guilt-ridden about mocking charitable works.)
An overzealous bouncer either manhandled or protected a semi-scrubby Brad Pitt at [...]
