Karl Lagerfeld

Filed under: Tops

For people who want show their appreciation for Karl Lagerfeld's contributions to the world of fashion, but can't afford any of his designs, you can at least get his Cartman-esque cartoon image plastered on a t-shirt. After breaking into the video gamer demographic with his cameo in Grand Theft Auto IV, now Karl's being immortalized in graphic tee form by Urban Outfitters. He's really on a roll.

Somehow the fashion guru has managed to end up in an UO exclusive collection called Beautiful Ones alongside David Bowie and the King of Pop himself. We're not sure we get the connection -- stylized androgyny? Maybe it just means that he's reached a place in pop culture where his only peers are rock stars. We cant help but point out that Karl and Michael are both competing over who can claim the award for 'Most Notable Gloved Celebrity.'

Aside from the line he did for H&M, this has got to be the least expensive market that he's ever appealed to.

St Tropez

Filed under: Tops

If you visit the beaches of St. Tropez this summer expecting to find a magical place where women feel totally comfortable bearing their breasts in public, you might be disappointed. According to an article in the UK Telegraph, the glorious tradition of Brigitte Bardot is on the decline. Apparently, bare flesh isn't as fashionable in the south of France as has been in the last few decades -- and no one's quite sure why.

When we think of the Riviera, of course we think of picturesque resort communities, but only after we envision beaches teeming with topless movie stars. Take away the topless women -- and it's just another über-expensive place to get a sunburn. Some are chalking it up to cancer concerns, others blame a rising wave of prudish conservatism. We know that in the US, nudist colonies are having trouble attracting members from the younger generations.

We say: if there's anything that never goes out of fashion, it's topless ladies.

Kwame Jackson from the first season of the hit reality show, The Apprentice, always impressed me. Call me shallow if you must, but it wasn't his intelligence, leadership, or charm that did it for me -- but his wardrobe. Jackson was always sharply dressed and well groomed. Now he's capitalizing on his business chic with his latest venture: Krimson by Kwame, a line of high end ties for men
