Music to our eyes! David Bowie and Paul Smith are dueting on a new t-shirt for the music icon’s eagerly anticipated new album, The Next Day, dropping on Tuesday. The t-shirt is inspired by Bowie’s Heroes album cover, originally shot by Masayoshi Sukita. It features a discreet Paul Smith for David Bowie insignia and artwork.

In news that is likely to devastate your Great Auntie, TLC (the Honey Boo Boo network) has announced that What Not To Wear is coming to an end in July. The show began in January 2003 and featured Clinton Kelly and Stacy London ambushing fashion victims who needed a new look. Over 10 seasons, they gave over 325 makeovers including former Family Ties star Tina Yothers, singer Tiffany

1966 or 2013? Hard to tell! Vogue Italia went retro with its March issue, and we don’t mind. Loving this Steven Meisel-lensed cover with Vanessa Axente and male mod (really!) Gustav Swedberg. Those eyes!

What’s this we hear? Last night in Paris at Carine Roitfeld’s party to celebrate CR issue deux, Kate Moss came wearing a look from Saint Laurent’s latest collection. Ooohlaaa. Kate and Hedi Slimane have had a long friendship and working relationship, so this isn’t such a huge shocker, but it’s a friendly reminder that she can make ANYTHING work. We’re also digging Riccardo Tisci’s broody face in this shot. Yum.

It’s not Paris Fashion Week without a party hosted by Carine Roitfeld. Last night she celebrated the second issue of CR Fashion Book with a black-tie event with all her peeps and a performance by Paris Opera principle Marie-Agnes Gillot at Shangri La Hotel. Devoted sidekick Stephen Gan was there as well as Kanye West, Karl Lagerfeld, Jessica Chastain

Fundamentalist mormons, punk music, skaters and an immaculate conception? Par for the course at The Cinema Society & Make Up Forever’ screening of Electrick Children at IFC. The indie flick directed and written by Rebecca Thomas stars newcomer (and may we say adorable) Julia Garner, plus Rory Culkin, Liam Aiken, Billy Zane, Cynthia Watros and Bill Sage.

Everyone’s all time favorite person Taylor Swift gives a juicy (perhaps too candid, but that’s not our problem) interview in April’s Vanity Fair. Swift chats with contributing editor Nancy Jo Sales and speaks out against (wait for it!) Amy Poheler and Tina Fey, who mocked her during the Golden Globes this year. “You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people,” she explains.

We spy with our little eye… Anna Wintour and Patrick Demarchelier shared a moment in Paris earlier today at the Chanel show. Anna’s in the best mood evah on Chanel day. (Can you spot Kyle Anderson and Joe Zee in this shot?) Per usual, Karl brought out an impressive front row including Jessica Chastain, Milla Jovovich, Leigh Lezark, Mario Testino, and even Jason Wu.

Who knows when we’ll have the pleasure of seeing Anna Dello Russo again now that show season is winding down, so we’re going to treasure every one last sighting. ADR was at the Chanel show today at the Grand Palais in Paris and returned to doing what she does best. She put something in her hair!

Meet Ian Mellencamp! He’s the nephew of singer John Mellencamp and appears in a new Diesel Spring/Summer campaign in just his skivvies. Will he be folllowing in his uncle’s show biz path? Maybe. “I went to one of his concerts at Radio City Music Hall with Meg Ryan [John Mellencamp’s girlfriend] earlier this year,” he tells Soapbox Media.
