Fashion Babylon & Its Anonymous

Toss your trashy chicklit novels and gather round for Fashion Babylon. Better yet make it your essential summer read. You will not want to put it down once you start anyway. The Anonymous co-writing the book did a great job of re-telling all the recent industry anecdotes and gossip: about how really powerful Style.com is, the mark-ups at the stores, Stella McCartney's vegan bag fad, insane budgets of buyers from Moscow, about how fast Topshop copies the catwalk trends, about teen models on Accutane, the coke and Moet-fueled fashion week parties, and the bitchy attitude of Sasha Pivovarova. And I'm just on page 56 out of 330 here. The Devil Wears Prada is like My Pet Goat compared to THIS expose.
The only complaint is that the book takes almost two weeks to ship from UK. But if you can figure out who the Anonymous are do let us know. The spirit of the narration does feel very similar to our favorite 10 magazine. Hmm...
