Just when you thought Spring Breakers was this year's ridiculously entertaining yet horrifying portrayal of modern adolescent behavior, The Bling Ring has come along to completely change the game. Although the film, which was inspired by this Vanity Fair article about a real life crew of celebrity-obsessed teen thieves living in LA, was released in limited run this past weekend, it was director Sofia Coppola's  best opening since Lost in Translation. Besides featuring an impressive cast that included Emma Watson (as convicted felon/reality star Nicki/Alexis Neiers), Leslie Mann (as Nicki's space-y mom), Gavin Rossdale (as a shady party promoter/drug lord) and even real-life Bling Ring victim Paris Hilton (as Paris Hilton, duh), I believe it was the flick's various social media efforts that really sparked the buzz.

Wonderful news: following Michael Pitt's debut as Prada's spring/summer 2012 campaign babe, the Boardwalk Empire star has decided to grace the fashion world with his pouty presence once again. Rag & Bone landed the actor for their debut menswear campaign, shot by Glen Luchford with creative direction by Kate Moss' baby daddy's consulting firm, MAD London. 

This might be the best cartoon-fashion collab since Comme Des Garcons and Waldo. Today, Converse announced a new collection with The Simpsons, aka the longest-running scripted show in television history. This is the beloved series' first footwear collaboration, ever. 

Remember when I told you that Robert Pattinson signed a crazy, $12 million mega deal with Christian Dior to be the face of the iconic French fashion house's line of men's fragrances for three years? Well, the results are finally starting to turn up, thanks to some really blurry Instagram shots from a Dior event at West Hollywood Soho House last night.

OMFG: Isabel Marant is H&M's next collaborator. The news hit select inboxes late last night, causing editors across the globe to stop that silly thing called sleeping to share the news with anyone that would listen. The cult-cool Parisian designer's first-ever collab with the fast-fashion retailer is set to hit 250 stores worldwide on November 14 of this year and will include apparel and accessories for women, teenagers and, another first, men. In anticipation, here are five (wedge-sneaker-free) Marant designs that I really, really wouldn't mind seeing a variation of in this capsule. 

It's a sad day in the fashion world. Last night, celebrity stylist and all-around beloved New York fixture Annabel Tollman passed away at the age of 36. The Observer explains that she died in her sleep of natural causes. There appeared to be no signs of suspicious behavior. 

I love a good gag joke, especially when it's done to someone that's seemingly untouchable. Yesterday Nick Grimshaw of BBC Radio 1 called up supermodel Kate Moss on-air to ask her a burning question: "Do you still have my High School Musical DVD?" Random. Full disclosure: he happens to be a good friend of Moss, which is why she picked up the phone right away. You could tell that the notoriously private star had no clue that others were tuning in because she sounded surprisingly chummy and totally wondering if she did, in fact, still have Grimshaw's High School Musical DVD. Listen in below.

Themed clothing lines are officially a thing. Following fashion merchandising deals for Downton Abbey and The Great Gatsby, ABC Studios and Matchbook Co. have just inked an agreement with Firefly Brand Management to license a line of apparel and accessories inspired by Revenge.
