Loose Threads

• Jane Pratt has placed an ad on Mediabistro looking to staff her new website, JanePratt.com, which Tavi is involved with.

• Former Bond girl Gemma Arteron has replaced Liv Tyler as the new face of G-Star.

• Anna Wintour touts Arizona Muse as "the breakout star at the Spring 2011 shows last Fall" in her February editor’s letter: "When I look at Arizona, I see shades of Linda Evangelista and Natalia Vodianova, but most of all, I see her, a gorgeous, smart grown-up. And how could anyone resist someone with that name?"

• Suzy Menkes notes that the menswear shows are unusually bright this season.

• Ermenegildo Zegna recruited Avatar’s visual consultant James Lima to create a “Live-D” presentation for his latest collection.

• Asia’s first menswear week will take place in Singapore this March.

• Brooklyn Decker: "I was always with other aspiring models. There were bingers and purgers, and everyone watched each other eat. It freaked me out. I did juice fasts and crazy diets and ended up gaining weight. My father did an intervention and got me to stop obsessing about everyone else and wrecking my body."

• Men’s shirt collars are getting smaller, which The Wall Street Journal blames on lax workplace dress codes and Mad Men.

• Eryn Brinie is closing its e-commerce site after shuttering its Soho store back in September.

• Daisy Lowe is launching a swimwear line with British chain Peacocks.

• Rather than relying on magazines for advertising, luxury brands are just starting their own online media companies filled with ads.
