Everything Old is New Again: Homage or Blatant Copying?

Photo of covers of Harper's Bazaar and W

Fashonologie noticed that the current cover of Harper's Bazaar featuring an exotic-looking portrait of Kate Hudson has been done before -- by W magazine, featuring model Nadja Auermann.

Her iconic September 1994 Harper's Bazaar cover of Nadja Auermann photographed by Patrick Demarchelier has been swiped and reinterpreted for the September 2008 cover of W, featuring Kate Hudson as photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

The resemblance is far too uncanny to be a coincidence, what with the same blonde hair, light eyebrows, heavy cat-eye makeup, piercing blue eyes, and dark lipstick framed with a collar of blue all in common. Of all the months to choose, wouldn't the big September issue be one you'd want to get creative with?

Apparently, it really is the season of remakes: not just in TV (Hawaii 5-O, Knight Rider, Beverly Hills, 90210), but in magazine covers too.

Rei K Interprets Comme des Garcons For H & M

Photo of Comme des Garcons fall 2008 fashions for H and M

Fashionista.com has the inside scoop on the designs Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garcons designs for H&M. The jacket, the coat and the bright pink shirt are very cute and we love the shoes. Black lace up wingtips are a must this fall. We could do without the polka dot shirt and the typical silly styling (ridiculous wig, check, emo expression on the model's face, check, out to there eyelashes, check) but whatevs. Most of the collection will sell quickly. Goth girls are going to devour that coat.

The Cole Haan Fiona Air Short Boots Have Arrived

We've found them! The shorty boots of our dreams. These Cole Haan Fiona ankle boots secretly contain Nike Air technology for maximum comfort as we stalk around the city pretending to be Emma Peel of The Avengers (the classic British tv show starring Diana Rigg, not the best-forgotten film starring Uma Thurman and Rafe Fiennes). They come in a variety of colors and textures (embossed leather, animal prints or plain leather), and retail for $429 at Zappos: here and here. Naturally, we've already ordered our size before posting, because we are horribly selfish. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Suri Cruise Is In Charge
An insider told Ted Casablanca at E! that Suri Cruise is in charge of Tom Cruise's career. And of his and Katie's lives. Really. She's two years old.

Tommy and Suri's mommy both, "often defer to what Suri wants and chooses," the Awful Truth has exclusively learned. "If Suri doesn't like Katie's shoes, she'll take them off," blabbed a babe who hangs right alongside the Beverly Hills brood belonging to Tom and wife-unit, Katie Holmes. "Tom, too. He does whatever Suri wants. He defers to her on everything."

Ted doesn't usually get things wrong. But...really? We have read that Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard had some unusual ideas about childrearing, that they should not be disciplined and should be treated as adults. But, still...Did we mention that she's two? Oh, yeah, and she's totally adorable.
