4. Gaga wears a studded black leather vintage Versace number in "The Edge of Reason". It marks the first time Donatella has ever opened her archives to collaborate on a music video. [Fashionsita]

"I am greatly honored that Lady Gaga chose to wear a Versace Vintage look throughout her ‘Edge of Glory’ video. I am a great fan of hers and I believe that my brother Gianni would have appreciated her talent. Like him, Lady Gaga is unafraid to push boundaries and she has created an original vocabulary by merging fashion, music, theatre and art. For me, this video represents a wonderful tribute to anyone who is unafraid to take chances."

5. Building on her role as one of the ambassadors for Coty Inc.’s Rimmel makeup brand, Kate Moss is now creating her own line for the label. [WWD]

6. “One size fits all” no longer applies to mannequins. The generic white, hairless, skinny mannequin is being pushed aside by provocative alternatives that entice shoppers with muscles, unusual poses, famous faces and lifelike bodies. [NYT]
