PATRICIA FIELD
It has been a busy few weeks for New York uberstylist and designer Patricia Field. Her latest shoe collection for Payless hit stores recently and then there was the Sex and the City movie, reviews of which critiqued both the acting and her wardrobe selections. Now, she has designed four limited-edition Diet Coke bottles, each one featuring a gritty graffiti-style female face. Available exclusively at Selfridges in London and her own website, they have already sold out online. And at $100 for the set, that is some pricey artificial sweetener.
GLASTONBURY
The legendary Glastonbury Festival, on now at a farm in rural England, is about three things: music, mud and fashion. When Kate Moss sported wellies to protect her shapely calves from a torrent of - you guessed it - mud a couple of years back, the Hunter boot became a must-have overnight. This week, the Times reported that a shipment of "blinged-up" wellies arrived at headliner Jay-Z's hotel, so get ready to break out the Bedazzler.
JULY VOGUE
The only thing more shockingly thin than the barely showing pregnant Nicole Kidman on the cover of the July issue of Vogue is the magazine itself. True, summer is always a slow time for advertising, but 162 pages? We've seen larger flossing pamphlets at the dentist. You don't think there's something to this slowing-economy talk, do you?
