TIFF red carpet: Nicole Kidman disappoints in Prada at the Rabbit Hole premiere
Nicole Kidman went decidedly low-key for the premiere of John Cameron Mitchell‘s Rabbit Hole. Kidman, in a midnight blue Prada dress, was joined by husband Keith Urban and co-stars Aaron Eckhart, Jon Tenney and a newcomer Miles Teller. The colour looks great on Kidman, but the whole look is a bit shapeless and–do our eyes […]

Fashion news: Smell like Lady Gaga, Selfridges apologises for gallows McQueen display, and is a naked mannequin obscene?
Selfridges sheepishly tweeted “We apologise for any offence caused. It was not intentional and the dress has been removed.” They’re referring to the Alexander McQueen dress that is hanging on a gallows in their display window in Manchester. So, uh, what I they thinking? [Racked]
Remember when designer/Britain’s Next Top Model judge Julien MacDonald said “You can’t have a plus size girl winning — it makes it a joke”? In a scrambling attempt to dig himself out of his hole, he told Grazia he was misquoted, claiming that “I think there is room for everyone in fashion, but if you’re a plus sized model the opportunities are less.” [The Cut]

Fashion news: The World Cup trophy’s luxe home, Christian Lacroix has a new gig and Victoria’s Secret for Halloween
The World Cup was handed over to the victorious Spanish football team in a Louis Vuitton case. We’re glad to see that when it isn’t in the hands of sweaty European soccer players, the trophy keeps it luxe.

Fashion news: Gaga in Prada, snowboarding models and authorities still telling kids to pull up their pants
Yesterday, we reported Lady Gaga‘s odd absence from the red carpet at the Met Gala. While the wires were oddly empty of Gaga in the Prada tux she reportedly wore after changing out of her sparkly catsuit, The Cut recently published a rare shot of Gaga in said tux. With no spikes or sequins or live animals protruding from the outfit, Gaga looks strangely… normal. [The Cut]

Fashion’s Night Out, a shopping celebration organized by Vogue in each of its global cities has expanded from a one night affair into six nights. What was last year referred to as a “drunken chaos,” and saw Barbara Walters singing a duet with Oscar de la Renta, will kick off in France on September 7, end in Greece and Turkey on the 16th, with countries like Britain, Australia, India and Taiwan in between. Sadly, Canada was nowhere to be seen on the bill. [WWD]

Models are appearing in more ads than celebrities, suggesting a turn of the tide in celebrity-heavy spots. Karl Lagerfeld cites celeb overexposure, while the Marilyn Agency’s Robert Ferrell suggests the economic crisis might have something to do it–having a celebrity can “double or triple” the budget. YSL designer Stefano Pilati just plain likes to work with models: “[Actresses] have an attitude, but will never be the fashion attitude. To me, fashion photography is with a model; otherwise, it’s a portrait.” [WWD]

Fashion news: Rebecca Minkoff bucks the diffusion trend and Gucci for kids

Olivier Theyskens‘ wanted to be a girl: “When I was young, about six, I was very jealous of girls because I wasn’t one of them. I was always imagining what it is to be a beautiful girl.” But he got over it: “Because I am a perfectionist, it put me off the idea. So I quickly became Olivier. I am very happy to be a boy and I never think about it any more.” [Styleite]

Milan: Miuccia does subversive ’60s at Prada
The walls and floors at the Prada venue were covered with old-school rules: “Daily brushing makes your hair grow faster” and “never brush your hair wet and never comb it dry.” In the show itself, there was ’60s finery with Miuccia’s subversive sexy edge–fab printed full-skirt frocks, cat-eye glasses, cable girls, caramel colours and…rubber! Accessories […]

Fashion news: SJP is Halston’s new prez, Kate Moss probably engaged, and we want to take a nail cruise
It’s official: Sarah Jessica Parker has been named president and chief creative officer at Halston. It’s too early to judge, but Parker seems to have her head on straight with the position. She’s not interested in undermining creative director Marios Schwab, and is frank about her newbie status: “There is a huge amount I don’t know and I am very candid about that, and I am excited to learn.” [WWD]
Prada has created their own YouTube channel for screening fashion shows, campaign photos and short films. [YouTube, via Fashionista]
