Who Is Jo Calderone?
According to Internet speculation, he also goes by the name Lady Gaga. That’s certainly the easiest way to explain his never-before-seen presence on the cover of September’s Vogue Hommes Japan, shot by Gaga go-to Nick Knight and styled by her own stylist, Nicola Formichetti, who leaked a few preview images on his blog this morning. [...]
Heel-Less Shoes: A Brief History
Though she takes an occasional tumble, Lady Gaga loves difficult footwear, like the heel-less boots she’s been wearing frequently of late.

Alexander McQueen Is Too Tired To Tweet…
But he still will. The famously private Alexander McQueen jumped headfirst into social media on September 1 with this maiden tweet: “STRESSED! Microwave head meltdown! Sparks flying out of my brain! Preparing for the show—Lee McQueen.” Yes, it was really him. While McQueen’s Twitter @McQueenWorld has some of the publicist-driven tweets like other major fashion [...]
SHOW-ing Off In London
Tired of hearing the two words “concept store”? Well, you may just be re-energized by the latest installment of such from London. “Up until now, so many fantastic props from fashion shoots, shows, and ad campaigns wound up in storage, back to the taxidermist, or even chucked,” said photographer Nick Knight at today’s viewing of [...]
