Royal wedding countdown: Day 29
We don’t know about you, but our invite to the royal wedding must have simply gotten lost in the mail. If you’re in the same boat, Legoland has made an incredibly (almost frighteningly) detailed lego-block fantasy of what the royal wedding will look like at Buckingham Palace⎯which looks so lifelike, it caused a double take.
Seen in attendance for the mini-ceremony? Of course, the bride, groom, and royal family, as well as paparazzi, the guards, and VIP guests including Paul McCartney, the Beckhams, and Elton John.

NYFW diary: Classic couture charm at Victoria Beckham
Half way through narrating her fall 2011 fashion presentation, former Spice Girl-turned-legitimate designer, Victoria Beckham, said, with a cheeky grin, “this feels like a proper fashion show”. Indeed it was. Beckham’s fifth collection to date was unveiled early Sunday morning with an intimate gathering at a town house on 63rd Street, which also doubles as a studio space when she’s in New York. Dressed in a sand-coloured sack dress (“This is the only thing in the new collection that fits me. I designed all of this before I knew I was pregnant”), Beckham sat in the front row—directly in front of me!—speaking at length about each look as it came out. Cocoons and wraps were introduced from the most luxurious cashmere silhouettes for day dresses to voluminous cotton and silk eveningwear.

Fashion news: NYFW may be picketed by someone other than PETA, DVF does hospital gowns, and American Apparel is $120 mil in the hole
Storm’s a-brewing over who will work New York Fashion Week at it’s debut run at the Lincoln Center – will it be IMG Fashion, who normally works NYFW gigs or Local One, the union in charge of all theatrical endeavours at the Lincoln. NYFW is threatened with picketing, should this heat up any further. And upon hearing this news, the red paint-baring PETA people are presumably cheering, “the more, the merrier.” [Wall Street Journal via The Cut]
We’ve just gotten our first look at Oasis-man Liam Gallagher‘s lookbook for his very necessary line Pretty Green. It’s been noted that he’s really outdone himself: Among the forgettable neutrals there’s a red velvet peacoat (colour! can you imagine!?). Apparently Gallagher can’t, which may be why the self-styled and self-modelled lookbook features Liam starring up at the sky in full existential-contemplation mode, as if to ponder, “what does the red peacoat mean?’ [The Cut]

Fashion news: Oscar de la Renta calls couture “irrelevant,” the Kaiser collects an award and Victoria Beckham to design for Beyoncé
Oscar de la Renta claims that the days of women sporting couture are done, saying, “Couture has become completely irrelevant. Customers are smart. They know that a $10,000 wedding dress will look as beautiful as a $1 million wedding dress. Maybe it will not be finished the same way inside, but who will know?” Touché. [The Cut]
The entire cast and crew of SATC 2 are tight-lipped when it comes to the plot of the film; but after allegedly signing a confidentiality agreement which could cost them up to about $2.5 million if they slip any details, who wouldn’t be?! Kim Cattrall had a close call after being photographed holding the script with a few of the words visible, saying after, “I thought: “You have got to be kidding! This isn’t state secrets, it’s the f****** script for a movie!” It’s crazy. You really have to be careful because I’ve signed my life away to say I won’t tell. It gets to the point where you’re terrified to carry your script around in case someone catches a glimpse of it.” [Vogue UK]

Fashion news: Estrella Archs leaves Ungaro, Vera Wang + David’s Bridal, and Rodarte’s carnival game
The dusty Ungaro drama is far from settling, with the announcement today that Estrella Archs leaving the label. “Estrella Archs announces that she has left her job as chief designer of Emanuel Ungaro due to irreconcilable differences related to the creative direction of the brand,” a spokesperson for the designer confirmed. [Vogue UK]
Anna Wintour spoke at the Pratt Institute last night in a tribute to Irving Penn, and we got a glimpse into the softer side of the Vogue editor-in-chief, calling Penn a “seductive” man who she immediately had “an intellectual crush [on].” She concluded her speech quite emotionally, saying “He made me a better editor. He was always in my head…. Irving’s gifts to us will not end.” [Fashionista]

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.
