Piggy Rings, Spin Offs Spin Down, and Wasson's Top Tracks

By Gabriel Bell

Oink, oink. These pig-inspired accessories may not be kosher, but they're sure cute. (Trend de la Creme) Take a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this season's Chanel collection. (The Cut) Male wangsters take note—Alexander Wang promises to have the men's side of his T line out in stores by the end of the month. (WWD) How to do the Amber Rose look. Step one—get out the clippers. (The Frisky) We know that big-brand PR mavens should all be a little cutthroat, but this is ridiculous. (Gawker) A new study has found that, on average, women spend almost a year of their lives deciding what to wear. Just one year? Hell, some of us spent an entire month just picking out their outfits for today. (Telegraph UK) All those vaunted spin-off brands—think American Eagle's Martin + Osa—aren't faring well in our still-stalled economy. (WSJ) As ad pages decline, September issues get thinner. At least you won't have to go to weight training to carry them in your tote bag. (WWD) Rolling-paper brand and stoner icon Bambu has released its own clothing line. Should be a success, if its target audience ever gets off the couch. (LOLA) Erin Wasson says loves to rock out to Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly". We can totally see that. (Modelina)
