...very funny, very entertaining. Stiller, who co-wrote it, directed it and stars in it, manages to appeal to fashion insiders and civilians alike. The reason is not the plot. A mere description of it is enough to put anyone off: a cabal of fashion designers including Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Paul Gaultier and, strangely, American Vogue editor Anna Wintour look-alikes, has been brainwashing male models to commit all the major assassinations in the last 100 years and they want Derek Zoolander to take down their next target...

McCartney, famous for tight jeans and sexy tops ("She's the Diane Von Furstenburg of our generation," said designer Jeremy Scott), dramatically increased sales at Chloé. Now, at age 30, she's ready to launch...
...Slimane's shows before. In fact, Saint Laurent has reportedly attended only one other fashion show ever. What brought the semi-reclusive designer out to the Jardin des Plantes? Ask Sidney Toledano, president and chief executive of Christian Dior Couture, and he'll tell you: fraternit*. After all, Karl Lagerfeld, another legend who now designs for Chanel, was backstage taking photographs. And John Galliano, Dior's women's designer, was watching with actress Cate Blanchett in tow. "It was a great moment for Paris," Toledano said...
