Fashion news: Justin Bieber nail polish; Kell on Earth comes to Canada; and did Karen Elson steal Christina Hendricks’ look?
Stefano Pilati, Karl Lagerfeld, Christophe Decarnin, Hedi Slimane, Alber Elbaz and Raf Simons have all been caught up in the rumour mill–again. According to a number of unnamed sources, Pilati is set to be replaced at YSL with either Slimane, Simons or Decarnin. The Kaiser is rumoured to retire from Chanel in 2012 (on his 30th anniversary with the brand) and will be replaced with Elbaz of Lanvin. And if the gossip is true Theyskens will be replacing Elbaz at Lanvin. [The Cut]

Dispatch from Milan: Jil Sander and Max Mara go pop!
POP goes Milan! Shock waves of jolting colour have electrified Milan Fashion Week!
The Jil Sander show on Saturday was an explosion of color and volume and is sure to go down as one of the most important shows of the season. Starting with simple white tees paired with flourescent maxi skirts, the mind-blowing DayGlo combos just kept on coming! Couture silhouettes from the ’50s and ’60s mixed with tailoring and sport-utility touches. Love the fluorescent soles on neutral pumps, the stripes and flouro-florals, and bright nylon shopping bags. Simple, saturated and strong!

Fashion news: World-weary teens, Tamara Mellon may sell Jimmy Choo, and Ralph Lauren’s new catalogue, er, kids’ book
We’d like to direct your attention to the self-professed “gothic counterpoint to Tavi,” French wunderkind Charles Guislain. Though he doesn’t have a blog, his sense of style has turned enough heads to land him in Italian Vogue and turn him into a YouTube sensation. At 17, he says he is already tired of Europe: “I need to escape European life. I am a little bored with this now.” Le sigh! [The Cut]
Based on Kate Moss‘s street style and runway shows by the likes of Givenchy, Céline and Jean Paul Gaultier, this fashion forecaster believes we’ll all be wearing sheer black pantyhose come fall. [Telegraph]

Fashion news: A fashionable law school, Tamara Mellon’s Choo move and Brian Bailey does cosmetics
Elle Woods comes alive: the Fordham Law School is creating the Fashion Law Institute for law students interested in fashion, design students and designers, the first law school to treat fashion as it’s own field of study. [WWD]
Tamara Mellon is switching roles at Jimmy Choo from founder and president to founder and chief creative officer. Vogue UK writes that “[I]n this new position Mellon will continue to oversee the label’s brand image, including product design, public relations and advertising campaigns. Sandra Choi will continue in her role as creative director with responsibility for product design.” If Mellon and Choi are both continuing to do what they already did, what exactly is this “new role” for Mellon?

Fashion news: Tom Ford launches lipstick and plunders design houses, Ungaro not for sale and light-up Choos sell out
It’s no secret that Tom Ford is making a foray into womenswear, but he’s remained mum on the details of his design team. Word is that the designer has nabbed Caroline Tixier from Givenchy and accessories designer Pablo Coppola from Alexander McQueen. [The Cut]
But before we can see his Fall 2010 women’s collection, Ford is expanding his Private Blend collection to include lipstick. Available in June, the line includes 12 “universally flattering colors,” because as Ford says, there is “no more dramatic accessory than a perfect lip.” We’re hard pressed to disagree.

Fashion news: Coco Rocha reveals her line, Jimmy Choo sneakers and a Versace tell-all

Fashion news: Diana Ross for Steve Madden, Twitter to the rescue and no cheaper Balmain for you!
That lower-priced Balmain line? Not happening. Never was. Says a company spokesperson: “What I think you might be referring to is a capsule collection that was prepared for some Parisian retailers. Christophe Decarnin wasn’t involved in that project. The brand has decided to not repeat the experience, preferring to concentrate all its efforts on the main line.” [Vogue UK]

Fashion news: Karl’s new mag, Choo shenanigans in Shanghai and some rumours dispelled
The Daily Beast compiled a list of the 10 most valuable models. If the suspense is killing you, Gisele is number one, followed by Christy Turlington (7), Kate Moss (2) and the usual suspects. We’d argue that Daria (5) is hardly an “up-and-comer” though, so you can probably take this all with a grain of salt. [Daily Beast]
