Weekly Fashion Roundup!

Willy Vanderperre shot Miranda Kerr for a "postmodern pinup" story in the November issue of V Magazine. I think I deserve some editorial credit for fusing these two pictures together. Doesn't it look as if she's envious of herself? Feel free to make it your desktop wallpaper...I know I did! Check out the rest of the spread here.

Mario Sorrenti shot Sasha Pivovarova for V Magazine in blackface, which is apparently the new...well...black! I was okay with Lara Stone's blackface editorial in French Vogue because it was fabulous and semi-innovative, but V is clearly just trying to capitalize on the attention that the Vogue spread received...not to mention the fact that this picture is bland and lacks any creativity, or fashion for that matter.

More fashion news after the jump...

• Versace just layed off 350 psotions, which is 26 percent of its workforce. The Financial Times called the cuts "the most dramatic by any leading designer during the current downturn." Versace is expected to lose $44 million this year and is hoping to break even in 2010. Sad story... 

• Forbes named Yves Saint Laurent the top-earning dead celebrity this week. The late designer's earnings total $350 million this year, surpassing the $90 million Michael Jackson has earned since his death in June. Ummm...YSL was a celeb?

• Lara Stone is set to replace Madonna as the face of Louis Vuitton. Thank you baby Jesus!
