Brian Moylan & Maureen O'Connor · 10/07/11 02:45PMYou won't believe the awful denim that Zooey Deschanel wore out in public. On the most recent episode of Gawkerazzi, we make fun of the new Beyonce video, the celebs at Paris Fashion Week, and Kristen Stewart's multiple magazine covers.
$39,000 Olsen Twins Backpack Sells Out
Maureen O'Connor · 10/05/11 11:55AMA $39,000 backpack from the Olsen twins' luxury fashion line The Row was "the first thing that sold off the shelf," according to Ashley. "During our last economic crisis in the U.S., the only thing that went up was Hermès." That's why she designed this mind-bogglingly expensive backpack, made exclusively from the skin of the mysterious fourth Olsen sister, who lives in a cage in their basement. You thought Elizabeth Olsen was the secret one? Hah.
All the Craziness from Today's Alexander McQueen Show
Brian Moylan · 10/04/11 05:31PMBefore he died, designer Alexander McQueen was always the wackiest show on the fashion calendar. Now in her third ready-to-wear collection, Sarah Burton did not disappoint during the label's presentation in Paris today.

Lauri Apple · 09/29/11 07:29AMThe Australian clothing store Gasp Jeans—which, if you're not familiar (or just some fashion-illiterate hobo), is "the brand behind fashion['s] newest genre 'Playful Couture'"—has become a total joke thanks to its completely idiotic way of handling a recent customer service complaint. Companies wishing to alienate the public, take note!
Is Anna Wintour Turning Into a Funny Lady?
Brian Moylan · 09/27/11 01:14PMMan and His Machine Make the Ultimate Cosby Sweater
Lauri Apple · 09/27/11 04:26AM Artist Andrew Salomone has used his hacked knitting machine—an electronic little number that operates similarly to a desktop printer—to create self-portrait face masks, soundwave scarves, and other garments inspired by the Jaclyn Smith Style Collection pop culture and technology. But his piece de resistance is the recursive Bill Cosby sweater, which Salomone (rhymes with "alimony") hopes will one day adorn the real-life, sartorially splendid Bill Cosby. Such an occurrence would not only complete the sweater's pattern but also cause geomagnetic reversal. [YouTube via Buzzfeed]

The acknowledgement comes on the clicked heels of a new book about the company, commissioned by Hugo Boss themselves in order to shed some light on the era.

Maureen O'Connor · 09/21/11 05:08PMCelebrating Oktoberfest? Ashamed of your scrawny calves? Meet Wundersock, the patented rubber foam insert for knee-sock-wearing for men. Lederhosen store owner Herbert Lipah invented the "wonderbra for men." He exports Wundersock supplies to Scotland and Namibia. (Apparently Namibians are really into Oktoberfest. Something about colonialism.) Lipah says his store's wares are very popular with "gays, tourists."
