Lay Off The Witches! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Goodie. Fashion month appears to have entered its hand-to-hand combat phase, with protesters being tackled by one CFDA CEO at the COS show in New York yesterday. And it’s only week one.Fair is foul and foul-play is, apparently, fair? Or is it. Perhaps not. Steven Kolb has now apoligized, kind of.
