Sarah Burton Lied To Anna Wintour About Designing That Dress

Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton did the unthinkable — she lied right to Anna Wintour's face.

Vogue's editor-at-large Hamish Bowles says it all went down last year when everyone was speculating over who would be designing Kate Middleton's wedding gown:

"Anna looked Sarah in the eye – an experience that would jelly the marrow of bigger people – and asked, 'Are you designing Kate Middleton’s dress?' and Sarah said, 'I am not designing the dress.' So Anna was telling everyone, 'Sarah told me she’s not doing the dress, so she’s not doing the dress.' Now Anna admits Sarah did an amazing job."

What a brave soul!

Hamish also revealed the white dresses from the McQueen A/W 2011 collection was a cover up for the super covert design operation going on inside Buckingham Palace.

Sneaky, sneaky!

TIME magazine has made a list of the top 100 most influential fashion icons since 1923, but it's who they left off the list that's really creating a buzz.

Noticeably missing from the list of designers, models, photographers, editors, muses, and stylists include Rachel Zoe, Tyra Banks, Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Sarah Jessica Parker — and that's just off the top of our head!

Geez. TIME's selection committee is strict!

So who were the lucky 100 that made the cut? See for yourself AFTER THE JUMP!

UK Fashion Brand Knocks Off Victoria Beckham & Michael Kors

Filed Under: Anglophilia Victoria Beckham Fashion Smashion Business Blitz Alexander McQueen Michael Kors Snooki Forever 21

victoria beckham raw rip off
michael kors rare rip off

As if Snooki ripping off Alexander McQueen wasn't insulting enough!

The intellectual property of Victoria Beckham and Michael Kors have been knocked off too!

The culprit? UK brand Rare Fashion.

The Forever 21-esque company is currently selling a blue and orange striped dress practically identical to Victoria Beckham's as well as a Michael Kors neon cut-out dress.

They even admit to copying MK's dress in a side by side comparison on the front of their site.

Shameless.

Snooki Rips Off Alexander McQueen!

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Purses Alexander McQueen Snooki

Lee must be rolling over in his grave.

Pregnant guidette Snooki has designed her very own knuckleduster handbag, there's just one little problem — it's a complete knockoff!

The $50 Dusk Till Dawn handbag features a "one-of-a-kind silver skull knuckle ring", which is a complete lie.

It's practically identical to the one used on Alexander McQueen knuckleduster clutches, right down to the crystal teeth on the skull.

We're all for affordable fashion, but this is ridiculous and insulting.

What do U think???
