“There is so much that is put into [a photo]: hair, make-up, Photoshop. Hours are put into that one photo. I wish women and girls alike didn’t read into it. It is art. It can be poked and prodded. It’s not exactly what you see,” Coco Rocha told the National Post. [National Post]

With Lorenzo Martone and Marc Jacobs officially split, the inevitable rebound rumours have transpired. Apparently, Martone has been seen hanging out (which always means canoodling!) with failed spaceman Lance Bass. That’s one heck of a downgrade – Louis Vuitton to *Nsync. [New York Daily News]

Cult fashion icon and Japanese Vogue fashion director, Anna Dello Russo, will be launching her new fragrance, Beyond, just in time for Christmas. The bottle is in the shape of a golden shoe and to celebrate, the cursor on her website has a trail of pretty golden sparkles.  [ADR]

Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone are no longer an item. While there may be “break-up rumours were false!” updates–and the inevitable “rumours that the break-up was false, were false!” updates–Martone maintains, via Twitter, that they’ve been split for about two months. So maybe this time it’s for real. Boo. [The Cut]

The much cackled about Snooki, gossip fodder and star of Jersey Shore, has just been compared to Elizabeth Taylor by fashion writer Cathy Horyn. Why? Images of Liz, recently published in Vanity Fair, “confirm a short, busty woman with high hair, big jewelry, garish taste in clothes and a complete indifference to the cyclonic effect that all that produced.”  [NYTimes]

Is Martha Stewart going from casseroles to couture? Her slew of fashionable guests (including Proenza Schouler and Andre Leon Talley) isn’t ending anytime soon: next week, Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte will be appearing on the Martha Stewart Show to talk about their design process.  [Fashionologie]

Toronto fashion darling Kimberley Newport-Mimran revealed she will be expanding her Pink Tartan line from the confines of the department store by opening her first Pink Tartan flagship this fall. The 2,500-square-foot space will house the line in its “pure form” in a historic Yorkville (obviously) building. [Toronto Star]

Proenza Schouler designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough showed up on the Martha Stewart Show recently to recreate the tie-dye effects that were featured in the spring collection. Seems like Martha took  the reins and ended up giving the boys a lesson. [Coco Perez]

Proenza released a limited edition tie-dye racerback tank exclusively on their website, proenzaschouler.com to coincide with the appearance.  [Coutorture]

The collaboration Proenza Schouler and J Brand denim label, which debuted at Proenza’s Fall 2010 show, is being launched at specialty stores mid-July. The jeans have a graffiti-esque pattern that’s printed and hand-painted [Stylelist]

The press office for Alexander McQueen have released a statement confirming “a private ‘salon’ presentation to be attended by invitation only.” [Grazia]

Haute fashion dolls are having a bit of a moment. Witness the Lady Gaga Barbies created by Beijing enthusiast Veik, or the designer finger puppets by Rubbish Magazine. Next up are some truly spectacular creations by New York artist Andrew Yang. Yang, who has designed for Dennis Basso and has a collection of couture dolls […]

The Sundance Channel’s series The Day Before, which chronicles the 48 hours before the Fall 2009 shows for Proenza Schouler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Sonia Rykiel, Fendi, premiere tomorrow, but clips are out. While we have a life-long fascination with all things Karl Lagerfeld, our favourite clips are with Gaultier, who gives a charming tour of Paris from the rooftop of his studio. 

We never tire of seeing behind-the-scenes candy like this. Karl sketching, assistants aging headbands with cobblestones and close-ups of all the beautifully crafted clothes.

More clips after the jump and even more here . [Fashionologie]
