Anita Bitton on Casting Top Models For Alexander Wang and Marc Jacobs. NEW YORK, United States — For a top casting director, Anita Bitton is unusually humble.
She’s industry-famous for her sharp eye in finding talent for the fashion shows and advertising campaigns of powerhouse labels like Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu and Dior. And although she recently stopped working with Alexander Wang, Bitton has been critical in helping shape the brand's image for 11 years. But the avid researcher, who certainly isn’t short on ideas and opinions, invariably underplays her contribution.
“I’ve read a lot of things that people say when doing this job — ‘I’ or ‘me’ — but there’s not a lot of me here,” she insists. Bitton, 43, is the founder and creative director of her New York-based agency Establishment Casting Inc.

BBC Two - Absolutely Fashion: Inside British Vogue, Episode 1, The symbolism of Kate Moss. Why I think plus-size fashion is getting it so wrong. I am a fat woman who loves clothes.
I care passionately about plus-size fashion. I buy a lot of clothes and try a lot of different looks, but more often than not, my fashion life is spent craving things I can’t have. And why can’t I have it? Because plus-size fashion retailers think I won’t buy it, won’t wear it, or don’t deserve it. The market for plus-size clothes is booming – Business of Fashion valued the US market alone at $17.5 billion this year – and has been for some time. At the core of what’s holding plus-size fashion back is a set of rigidly imposed rules and norms. Brand Ellen: Can Happiness Sell Clothes? LOS ANGELES, United States — For the uninitiated, attending The Ellen Degeneres Show is like entering an alternate reality.
In stark contrast to the divisive American election campaign, pitting poor against rich, black against white, straight against gay and left against right, Ellen’s set is one where everyone can sit comfortably together, singing and smiling — and dancing. Welcome to the world of Ellen Degeneres, a uniting force for good and one of the most followed and connected celebrities on the planet. Today, The Ellen Degeneres Show is seen in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Macau, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Sweden.

LONDON, United Kingdom — Gosha Rubchinskiy is standing in front of a photographic backdrop of Moscow high-rises, which demarcates the space the designer’s post-Soviet, skater-inflected fashion label will soon inhabit in the basement of Comme des Garçons’ Dover Street Market in London.
The retailer is set to reopen this Saturday in the 31,000-square-foot former Burberry headquarters on Haymarket, just south of Picadilly Circus, following a major rent hike at the store’s original Mayfair location. That Rubchinskiy’s new space, at about 270 square feet, is significantly larger than the space he occupied at the old Dover Street Market, is a testament to the success of the label. The store’s initial buy for Spring/Summer 2016 sold out in two days, sending the brand scrambling to reproduce items from the collection to stock the new space.

It’s jarring to think that North West — admirer of mermaids, tutus, and the movie Frozen — is already 3 years old.
Even Kim Kardashian, a meticulous historian of her family’s day-to-day life, can hardly seem to believe the passage of time. In a video posted to Instagram in June, Kim, aboard a yacht with her husband Kanye, gathered her squirming daughter on her lap and cooed, “Are you not gonna get any bigger? You’re not gonna get any taller?” North, clad in a printed one-piece swimsuit with red ruffles along the straps, happily gave in with a simple “K.”
Fortunately for Kim, and for those of us who live for around-the-clock updates about celebrity children, large swathes of the internet essentially function as a North West scrapbook, an ever-expanding catalogue of her daily hairstyles, outfits, activities, and facial expressions. North is hardly the first person to undergo meticulous public scrutiny from the moment of birth.
