ALL THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER FROM THE WEEK IN STYLE AND CULTURE
Oct. 5 – 11
2
New operative number in Chinese street wear trends. The fad? T-shirts designed for couples to wear simultaneously. Think matching graphics and disjointed phrases like “Let love … create miracle” that only make sense when completed by your significant other’s tee.
6
Age of Eloise, the illustrated Plaza-dwelling imp, whom Nicky Hilton cites as one of her “style icons.” The hotel heiress has just finished a scrapbook-like fashion guide, filled with tips, anecdotes and old photos. It will be released next fall.
15
Number of collections Kate Moss has now designed for Topshop. Her latest, which will hit stores in April, comes after a three-year layoff.
16
Age at which Miley Cyrus said, in an interview with the magazine Hunger, that she was “brought into fashion” by Marc Jacobs. She’s quoted as saying that Marc “let me inspire some of his pieces, and now I feel like it’s just about having the right people around you.” Wonder what he thinks of the “fashion” she’s been wearing lately.
19
Number of pieces in M.I.A.’s counterfeit-inspired capsule collection for Versus Versace, which hits shelves next Wednesday. The recording artist put kaleidoscopic prints of Versace’s logo and Greek keys on clothes and accessories for men and women. Has something meant to look so cheap ever been so chic?
Fred R. Conrad/The New York TimesBergdorf Goodman’s buyer Betty Halbreich will be the subject of a Lena Dunham-directed biopic. 85
Age of Betty Halbreich, the famous Bergdorf Goodman personal shopper and future HBO star. (A Lena Dunham-directed biopic series is in development.) On a recent New Yorker Festival panel, the octogenarian style icon admitted to having never seen “Girls” and to wearing a “panty girdle.”
7,168
Hours of unpaid overtime Lady Gaga’s former personal assistant claims she racked up. A good percentage, it could be wagered, was spent monitoring and updating the diva’s Instagram, a new duty assigned to many a mega-star’s P.A. Rihanna’s BFF and Heidi Klum’s mom are examples of other unpaid Instassistants, who take “selfies” for their famous employers.
Ben Baller/InstagramAmanda Bynes’s rose gold and diamond grill. $10,000
Cost to create Amanda Bynes’ rose gold and diamond grill, which the troubled actress commissioned before her meltdown (when she lit that driveway on fire). The ornate mouth guard has been finished for months now, and the jeweler expressed surprise at not being able to deliver it to Bynes to collect payment. (Hello, she’s been hospitalized since July!)
$50,000
Dollars that André Leon Talley apparently received from Karl Lagerfeld as a 50th birthday present. The larger-than-life fashion fixture (now 64) revealed this fact — and shared his thoughts on racism, weight and Anna Wintour — on Tuesday night during a discussion with the former CFDA executive director Fern Mallis.
$55 Million
Dollars that the film “Gravity” grossed on opening weekend. Its star Sandra Bullock, 49 (how?), appeared physics-defying in the skintight androgynous suit she wore to a private screening of the film in London.
$195 Million
Sale price of Juicy Couture. Authentic Brands bought the company, which was valued at $500 million last year, from its owner of 10 years, Fifth & Pacific (formerly known as Liz Claiborne). Why did Fifth & Pacific sell? To focus on bringing Kate Spade to its full potential.
∞ (Infinity)
Amount of glitter stitched into the smoking jacket worn by Tilda Swinton to the 51st New York Film Festival yesterday, a sartorial choice that make her look more like David Bowie than ever.
