WITH DOLCE & GABBANA, FOR ALL
Yesterday, Louis Vuitton announced they would follow Burberry and Alexander McQueen in live streaming their latest runway collections via the internet. Dolce & Gabbana wanted to get into the mass market action as well with the video series, "Pre Show Diaries" which received 16 million hits on YouTube. If this keeps up, will editors and buyers still attend shows?

WHAT A CROC!
We just told Croc wearers not to fear; the plastic shoe maker will not go out of business because the company got a hold of a $30 million dollar loan. However, Tim Gunn may not be so excited to hear that! The "Project Runway" host says he will do a fashion intervention if the first lady, seen wearing Crocs, is not doing a footwear experiment.

NOT GOING TO UNGARO
It turns out that not everyone is "buying" into Lindsay Lohan's new role as the artistic adviser at Emanuel Ungaro. Reports are surfacing that retail buyers are choosing to decline invitations to the collection's presentation based on their lack of ability to take the starlet's new fashion job seriously.
