Kristen Stewart And Karl Lagerfeld Spotted In Paris

OK, we know this is the grainiest photo of all time, but what's happening here is SO amazing we couldn't not talk about it—Karl Lagerfeld is totally having a cuter-than-cute intimate moment with Kristen Stewart during a photo shoot in Paris. *squee* The twosome was spotted all over The City of Lights with photographer Mario Testino (who we're pretttyyy sure is on the left wearing glasses and a scarf if you squint hard enough) shooting a fash spread for Vanity Fair. We are SO excited to see how this turns out, and judging by the outfit K Stew is wearing, this is going to be anything but the tomboy-girl-next-door look we're used to seeing. The Twilight star is rocking an out-of-this-world ruffled neck and shoulder gown paired with a 1940s-inspired pin-curl updo. She's wearing no accessories (I mean, with THAT dress, how could you?) except for a sparkly silver star in her hair. From this eagle-eye view, it's hard to tell what makeup K Stew is sporting, but we DO see a dark, dramatic eye and soft, nude lip.

Amy Winehouse's Dad Doesn't Approve Of Jean Paul Gaultier's Collection

As we recently reported, Jean Paul Gaultier's main inspiration for his spring 2012 haute couture collection was late singer Amy Winehouse. It was a blatant tribute that included her signature beehive, beauty mark, ubiquitous cigarette, leather jacket and pencil skirt uniform (with Fred Perry-esque detailing), as well as a doo-wop quartet playing her music throughout the runway show. Some critics thought it was a "carbon copy" of Winehouse while others found it to be both "marvelous" and a fitting tribute. Mitch Winehouse (aka Amy's dad), on the other hand, was feeling something else altogether. He took to his Twitter feed to cement his distaste of the collection.

We don't support the Jean Paul Galtier collection. It's in bad taste. Mitch

First of all, WHOA, did this just get Ayn Rand-ian with that Gaultier misspelling? Perhaps. Winehouse senior, if you don't know, is both a London cab driver and a singer himself. In the months following his daughter's death, he helped set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which gives money to troubled youths. He seemed to care deeply for his child (of course) and hasn't been particularly vocal regarding the number of other tributes performed after Amy's death. BUT sending models down the runway in his child's likeness six months after her tragic death? Is this taking it a bit too far? Let's discuss.

The Jason Wu for Target collection is almost here! We're seriously getting antsy about the Feb. 5 launch date and are expecting a shopping EVENT reminiscent of the Great Missoni Frenzy of 2011. We've already waxed poetical (aka gushed with our typing fingers) about how much we want everything in the collection, especially anything involving the collection's mascot, Milu the mischievous black cat. There was a private launch event for the line in New York City last night attended by Blake Lively and Chloë Moretz , who both wore Jason Wu . Now that we've seen actual pieces from the line on a person (hi, Miss Moretz), we're officially combusting in our office chairs. Will we—or ANY of us—be able to get our hands on this black and white magic?

Karl Lagerfeld Guests Get Azealia Banks And iPads

If you've been keeping as watchful an eye on Miss Azealia Banks as we have, you're well-aware that the up-and-coming Harlem rapper was honored with playing Karl Lagerfeld's celebratory house party last night. Banks, in all her crimpy mermaid hair glory, was posted up front and center spitting rhymes and pumping up Uncle Karl's dinner party crowd. What you probably didn't know (until now) is that Poppa Lagerfeld sent his esteemed guests home with a casual armful of custom iPad. Yep, he may have denied his partygoers a chance at some decadent Parisian pastry with a side of bottomless whipped cream, but THIS dessert is much more special and lasting. Heck, it's actually practical! We won't go into all the reasons why an iPad makes a great gift, but we WILL delve into what appears to be Monsieur Lagerfeld's growing affinity for the tablet device. *strokes thinking beard*

Amy Winehouse Is Jean Paul Gaultier's Runway Muse

Today marks the end of Mode à Paris, aka the Haute Couture fashion shows in the City of Light. While most of the world rallies to celebrate the Ready-to-Wear shows, it's haute couture that typically sets the tone for what's to come, including what we might be seeing on Academy Award nominees. (Hi, Michelle and Rooney.) If Jean Paul Gaultier has any say in the matter, though, he foresees a future full of Amy Winehouses. The funtastic Parisian designer made quite the couture statement this week (much to the chagrin of some of the fash critics) when he sent his entire fall 2012 haute couture collection down the runway on models made to look like the late singer. We're talking everything from her signature beehive and mole as well as her penchant for nicotine and leather. In a word, it was pretty SPECATACULAR and included four dudes doo-wopping her songs throughout the show.

Azealia Banks Receives Custom Karl Lagerfeld Sweater As 'Thank You' For Playing His House Party

Right around this very minute, across the pond in the City of Lights, Azealia Banks is having dinner at Karl Lagerfeld's Parisian home. As if that sentence alone doesn't send your blood boiling with jealousy already, Poppa Karl sent our girl AZ a little token of his appreciation. OK, we use the term "little" very loosely here because real talk, if Karl EVER personally sent us anything, it would be swiftly carted away and placed in an impenetrable glass case that is also somehow disaster-proof. IMMEDIATE museum status.

Of course, Karl's special gift for Azealia isn't just anything either. (Sidenote: I just had a waking nightmare about Karl signing off on an Edible Arrangement.) It's a custom sweater emblazoned with Karl's bespectacled profile, much like the Mickey Mouse crewneck she sports in her "212" music video. "But what on EARTH could have brought on this level of affection from the the ponytailed sartorial legend?" you ask, "We thought it was NICOLA who was calling dibs on the Harlem girl!" Well, it looks like Banks has been cozying up to more of the fashion community than you think!

Exclusive Sneak Peek Of The Adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott Fall 2012 Collection

Just as we were cooling off from the bondage meets Americana frenzy of the Spring 2012 Adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott collection, we received exclusive images from the fall 2012 line, and we audibly gasped when we peeped each piece for the first time. The classic Jeremy Scott teddy sneakers are back (!!!), but this time covered in a groovy flower print and a lime green sole. Rory Rockmore, our resident Jeremy Scott expert, gave us the lowdown and said these shoes will ALSO be available in children's sizes. "It's like a little bit of every cuddly JS shoe teddy you've ever loved, wrapped up with a bow on it." According to Mr. Rockmore, Lil Wayne was the first person to ever sport these sneaks almost exactly a year ago (time is FLYING) in the traditional brown-and-white colorway. Then we spotted them again in black and white when Jeremy first released images of his Adidas Originals collab last summer. Whew, these shoes have seen so many permutations, we can hardly keep up. But there's moooree!

Kenzo Pre-Fall 2012 Is Our Dream Wardrobe

It happens every year. Suddenly, out of nowhere, one of us here at MTV Style draws in a mammoth gasp and announces—usually via IM—that it's ZOMG ALMOST FASHION WEEK, YOU GUYS. Headphones come off, brows are swept, hyperventilating sometimes ensues, and then we get back to work and file it in the back of our minds until the pre-fall collections start rolling in. Well, seeing as how pre-fall is happening, ohhhhh, NOW, and having looked at the calendar to see that NY Fashion Week is actually T-minus three weeks away, we're starting to get super excited for the fash-enchantment heading our way. Usually, we merely whet our appetites on pre-fall and never let ourselves truly lose it until the actual full collection hits the runway, but all of that has just changed. Folks, we're officially FREAKING OUT over Kenzo Pre-Fall 2012. Holy Mary Mother of BIG BIRD, this is the reason why we get all worked up about fashion! If this multilayered, pattern-splattered, gargantuan-proportioned, collar-happy, ACID YELLOW, creeper brogue-adorned collection is any indication of what Kenzo's going to unveil for Fall 2012, we might as well pull out the fainting couch now and get it over with already. There's so, SO much that we want from this collection!

Azealia Banks Drops New 'Bambi' Track At Mugler Men's Runway Show

As we're quick to point out every time we mention the words Azealia Banks, we're crazy obsessed with this gal. We don't even care how stalker-y and effusive we sound because this sweet-cheeked, sailor-mouthed sass machine from the "212" is gonna OWN 2012 just like we predicted. Not to throw our hair around and blatantly say the words style soothsayers, but we've been on this lady magic for awhile now. I mean, when we first heard about a possible Banks and Nicola Formichetti collabo, we hyperventilated, sprained our fingers typing for more info, then pester-stalked Miss B until she Twitpic'd a pair of Platform Jordan 3s he had custom made for her. We knew something was in the works but did not anticipate Formichetti, aka Mugler's creative director extraordinaire, would set his men's fall 2012 show to the new Azealia Banks track, "Bambi". Um, brains. EXPLODING.

Rocawear Downsizes: Is It Jay-Z's Promo Problem Or Is It The Clothes?

Jay-Z has been in the news a lot lately. He's the brand-new proud father of Blue Ivy Carter, and for some reason, this happy news seems to have catalyzed somewhat critical chatter where the wee babe is concerned. Despite melting hearts with the new song, "Glory," which featured Blue's baby coos, there was the erroneous report that he was going to stop using the word bitch because he now has a daughter. His reps denied this, which made the media investigate deeper into the amount of times he used the word in his songs, and now there's speculation that Blue was the reason half of Rocawear's staff was laid off the day before her birth. That's a lot of pressure for a BABY, folks! As we're talking style here, perhaps the problems with Rocawear have more to do with the fact that its design elements seem to be stuck in the early aughts. Let's discuss, shall we?
