2008 has been a breakout year in the US for Globe Trotter. The 111 year old, British producer of hand made luggage only hit stateside in fall '06. This year, we've seen limited edition bags for Conran Shop and J. Crew.

This season, in Paris, Junya Wantanabe featured vintage Globe Trotter luggage in 12 of 48 looks from his s/s '09 runway show. Tim Blanks has a show review at Men.Style that explains the tie in to travel.

Designers are whipping up back-to-back collections as if they only take a couple of days, hours, or minutes to put together. Not even a week after the resort shows came to an end, the haute couture parades are in full-force right and every celebrity with even just a little bit of fashion cred is in Paris right now taking in all of the fabulous looks at fashion houses like Chanel and Givenchy.

Suffice it to say, those keeping up with all of the action via Style.com are probably experiencing a major case of whiplash right now trying to keep up with everything.

(Click on the image to see more photos from the show)

Fashion shows are always interesting and cultural experiences -- especially when they're put on by prostitutes. In Spain, where prostitution is not legal, but largely tolerated, the ladies of the night put on a little runway show in order to draw attention to their quest for rights.

The media has been abuzz about the July issue of Italian Vogue which will feature over 150 pages dedicated exclusively to black models and stories about successful black entertainers and performers. Famed photographer Steven Meisel -- you may remember him from his Naked Madonna days -- was selected by Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani to shoot the issue.

The issue will feature new faces like Jourdan Dunn alongside famed beauties like Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell and Alek Wek. Sozzani says she was inspired by Barrack Obama's historic presidential campaign. Her intention was to spark conversations about race, and to demonstrate that there is more to beauty than blond, blue eyed Russian models.

We love fashion-oriented television programming. Especially, when Bravo TV is playing host on its channel.

The cable network has made devoted Project Runway fans out of us over the past few years. And while we cringe every time the thought of Rachel Zoe (yuck!) airing a reality show on Bravo this fall crosses our mind, we ultimately are kind of anticipating Zoe's TV debut because we know Bravo can make anyone's life look even mildly interesting.

We're not sure what to think of the latest trend to turn up on the runway: Fendi gave his male models wedges. Shoes that is. As in, he put them in heels.

True, men have been wearing subtle and not-so-subtle heels since Napoleon, and there was that outbreak of platform shoes in the 70s. Still, Fendi's decision has us stymied.

In theory, it's kind of a good idea. The wedge is a very comfortable heel in which to walk, it's not especially feminine -- a Louis heel will raise far more eyebrows -- but to us, there is something really weird about it.

Perhaps we're being stodgy, so let's put it to a vote. What are your thoughts about men in heels? Only good at a Gay Pride Parada, or the trend of tomorrow?

We all love a good fight. Especially, when two supermodels are going at each others throat.

So when we all caught word that Kate Moss and Agyness Deyn were supposedly fighting because the latter was trying to one-up the icon, it was music to some of our ears.

However, the so-called scuffle seems to have only been a figment of our imagination.

This is a model from the Cia Maritima runway show at Sao Paulo Fashion Week. Next to this nearly anorexic figure, we suppose anyone would look fat.

Because while the fashion industry claims to have realized the error of its ways -- denouncing ultra-skinny models, and learning to love the "real women" of the world -- it turns out those revelations must have been a passing fancy. Karolina Kurkova, a Victoria's Secret model, appeared in the same show, and response has been scathing -- just because of a little cellulite.

While she doesn't bare an "S" across her chest, model up-and-comer Ali Stephens is somewhat of a Super Woman when it comes to wind sprints and brisk walking.

In this interview she recently did with New York Magazine, the 17-year-old Calvin Klein model told the reporter that she could run a mile in 5: 31.

Yes. That would be five minutes and thirty-one seconds, which is about the same amount of time it takes us to even get motivated enough to get of the bed and commit to a jog around the park.

But Ali is pro at this (she ran cross country throughout high school), so we don't feel too bad about ourselves. In this clip, watch as she demonstrates her runway walk in the grass and discusses her new top model status.

For fashion designers, inspiration for their clothes always comes from random sources: art, food, clothes, sex (hey!). Two inspirations however, remain constant favorites - the past and the future.

Both were in full effect during London's Graduate Fashion Week, where students showed off their work. From huge hooped skirts and elaborate ruffles from the 19th century to psychedelic prints from the 70s, these students mined the past for some ultra creative looks.

Boy oh boy was Monday all about the boys. As you know, I am your girl on the ground at London's Graduate Fashion Week, which is going on right now and gives British design students a chance to show off their skills. As usual, the bulk of collections that floated down the runway were for women. But somehow between all the floating chiffon dresses, ultra neon tights and cropped leather jackets, the menswear collections emerged triumphant.

Last week the blogosphere went wild with rumors that sexy lingerie brand Agent Provocateur would be dropping Kate Moss for an edgier and much younger Alice Dellal.

If you haven't been keeping track, this is about the third time in two months that the company has apparently tried to shove the supermodel out of its door.

But, like all the other stories concerning Miss Moss and Agent Provocateur, this too appears to be false.

Talk about dressing to kill! At Resort 2009, Chanel brought out the big guns, err, literally. In addition to the fashions, the models also brandished some pistol stilettos.

But these shoes weren't just for the show, Lagerfeld and Co. will actually be selling these .22 caliber heels! We know Bonnie & Clyde were fashion icons, but gun shoes? Really?

So StyleList wants to know, would you buy these shoes? Take their poll this week and let them know if these are something you would like to ar yourself with, or if the whole concept turns you off.

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

Thursday I shot inside all access at Billabong's Design for Humanity Fashion Show that benefited the Surfrider Foundation. I roamed on the carpet on Vine Street until the models walked down the runway to music spun by DJ Aoki. Prog rock revivalists MGMT played to a packed house.

The Surfrider Foundation is an environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the world's waves and beaches through conservation, so beach apparel was the focus.

Celebrity designers included Cory Kennedy, Lisa Kline, Jenny Han, Amber Valetta, Joy Bryant, and Charlotte Ronson. There were some throwbacks to the seventies and a tribute to the American flag to name a couple trends that Billabong hopes will catch on for Summer.

Celebrities Adrien Grenier, Cameron Richardson, Juliette Lewis, Maynard James Keenan of Tool, John Legend were on hand to catch a glimpse of the show.

As devoted fashion fiends, our wish list of people whom we would like to meet in our lifetime is reflective of our affinity for all things luxe, chic and completely out of our price range: longtime Prada campaign photographer Steven Meisel, French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld, an original 90s supermodel (Linda, Christy, Naomi), and the very iconic Karl Lagerfeld, the designer behind such labels as Fendi and Chanel.

We've got to give it to Naomi Campbell. The icon is never for a dull moment.

In the last six months alone, she's been arrested, banned from an airport, tapped to front Yves Saint Laurent's fall ad campaign, and managed to land a guest role on the season finale of Ugly Betty.

It's hard being rich and beautiful.

Just ask Gisele Bundchen.

The former Victoria's Secret Angel is being sued by a carpenter who injured himself after falling off a staircase in her New York apartment where he was doing work. The poor man suffered a fractured shoulder, broken ribs and herniated spinal discs thanks to his tumble.

No word if the accident had anything to do with the fact that the carpenter was trying to catch a peep of the Brazilian babe, while her football boyfriend Tom Brady wasn't around.

Just kidding! We don't want to get sued by anyone either. Although if we had as much money as Gisele, we wouldn't be sweating the legal fees too much.

Wow. How quick the mighty have fallen.

It seems as if it were just yesterday that we began ragging on supermodel Agyness Deyn's coveted and contrived grunge style, gasping over her dethronement of Kate Moss on top Tatler's best dressed list, and giggling because of the party that's being thrown in honor of a life-sized mannequin that bares her resemblance.

Suffice it to say, Kate Moss didn't kick off 2008 as smoothly as she would have liked to.

First, rumors began swirling that she would be replaced as the face of Rimmel by a younger and more sober Brit. Next, she was dethroned by Agyness Deyn as Tatler's best dressed. And more recently, she complained about be stalked by two crazed fans. Eek!
