Loose Threads

• Elle fashion director Alexis Bryan Morgan is leaving after ten months to take a job at Lucky as their new executive fashion editor.

• Kanye West: “Fashion people look down on musicians. They look down on celebrities. I don't care about whether I sit on the front row — I want to see art in its purest form, before a Barneys buyer separated it out.”

• Burberry’s revenue is up 21.6 percent, thanks to sales of aviator jackets, shearling boots, and sling bags.

• L.A. vintage boutique Decades Two launched an e-commerce shop.

• Oscar de la Renta is rumored to be ill and considering retirement.

• Pierre Hardy’s shoe collaboration with the Gap hits shelves next week, but the collection has been whittled down to only one style.

• Manolo Blahnik on platform soles: “These are so vulgar — especially the ones with the perspex platforms like you see in 1970s porno films. So shocking! To friends I can say anything, so I might say: ‘Those shoes are vile!’ (I like to tell the truth in a funny way if I can), while to someone I don't know, I might say: ‘My God you look wonderful! Your dress is divine but the volume of your leg is wrong in those shoes.’”

• Heidi Klum is reportedly hosting a new show on Lifetime.

• Donna Karan is throwing a fund-raiser with First Lady Michelle Obama on Monday, and her personal chef is catering.
