A fashion week video game.

505 Games will co-develop a series of video games with media company IMG Sports & Entertainment based on Fashion Week, the annual events where clothing designers and labels parade malnourished models wearing the next season's collections down runways in Paris, New York, Los Angeles and Milan. The concept of the games, created by makeup artist Pat McGrath and fashion insider Noel Gordon, features top models and runways. The series will become available on consoles from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony, as well as Apple's iPhone.

Although in the early stage of development, the games could serve up static or dynamic ads as part of the real-world experience at Fashion Week, typically sponsor-supported. Virtual goods could serve as the debut of various products. Dresses and purses might be previewed in the game before they hit Bloomingdale's racks.

There's a new comic out called "Models. Inc."

Fashion Week is always a hectic time for models, and this year is no exception. Between escaped wolves, robbery attempts, and overly friendly police officers, Mary Jane Watson, Patsy Walker, Jill Jerold, Chili Storm and Millicent (Millie the Model) Collins are testing the limits of their endurance. But when a brilliant young set designer is found murdered with three bullet holes in his back, and Millie proves to be the prime suspect, the models are forced to play detective in order to save one of their own!

Riiiight, so basically a Zoolander from Marvel Comics, can't wait to see the movie, can't be worse then that Wolverine one.

you mean zoolander meets scooby doo...

good lord I had no idea that fashion could be deemed as pro neo-nazi, i am totally confused by all of this as I havent ever heard about it before. Why are ben sherman and fred perry considered so rightwing?

Hugo Boss cut the uniforms of the SS.

Why are ben sherman and fred perry considered so rightwing?

Because of the people who wore them in times gone by (and I guess, to a lesser extent, still wear them). Ben Sherman was very popular with the far right, quasi-skin head, football hooligan.

Hermes Breed own Crocodiles via Luxuo

French luxury goods group Hermes has resorted to breeding its own crocodiles on farms in Australia to try to meet demand for its leather bags, its chief executive told Reuters on Monday.

Customers sometimes have to wait several years for certain exotic-skin bags, which can fetch over 35,000 euros ($48,410).

It can take three to four crocodiles to make one of our bags so we are now breeding our own crocodiles on our own farms, mainly in Australia, Patrick Thomas told the Reuters Global Luxury Summit in Paris.

Hermes already faces a major challenge producing 3,000 crocodile bags a year, Thomas said, adding: The world is not full of crocodiles, except the stock exchange!

Hermes Breed own Crocodiles

I heard something similar to this (I think it was on landline or one of those ABC farming shows, during the "I was watching something good but have since lost the remote and haven't had my coffee yet" mornings)

Australian croc breeders are looking to breed new crocs that grow faster and have smaller scales so they can keep up with the demand of croc leather and produce a higher quality, more aesthetically pleasing leather.

i want a crocodile handbag!
