Sad news — It has been reported today that french model, Isabelle Caro who openly battled with anorexia has passed away at the age of 28. Isabelle garnered global attention in 2007 after being featured in a rather disturbing Italian fashion house ad campaign shot by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani. She was a mere 5’4″ in height and weighed in last at only 86 pounds. Our condolences go out to Isabelle’s family and close friends during this difficult time.

Carine Roitfeld, Former Editor-in-Chief of Paris Vogue

Lovelies! My heart sank when I read Cathy Horyn’s blog for the NY Times (On The Runway) that beloved editor-in-chief and visionary, Carine Roitfeld was stepping down from French Vogue after 10 years. I’m truly sad to see her go! But I’m anxious to see where she ends up next! She made a very interesting quote to Cathy regarding her decision and I must agree with what she said –

“When everything is good, maybe I think it’s the time to do something else.”

Good news! — Roitfeld mentioned that she plans to continue to work on issues of French Vogue up until March of 2011. I will have to get my hands on these final issues! I’m sure they will be epic pieces of fashion history to add to my collection.

What are your thoughts on this shocking news?

He was definitely a rare gem to the industry and I’m really saddened to have him leave us so soon. His legacy will forever carry on through his brilliant work. His design aesthetic was truly one of a kind. My prayers and condolences are with his family and close friends at this very sad time.
