At London Fashion Week this past February, Ford sent sequined dresses down the runway inspired by Jay Z’s own creations, sporting the famous phrase, "I don't pop Molly, I rock Tom Ford." To bring things full circle, on the German leg of her world tour, Beyoncé appeared on stage in one of Ford's glistening designs. [The Telegraph]

Kate Moss Writes For Vogue UK: For her premier Vogue UK column, the 40-year-old supermodel took on an emotional assignment. Reviewing the most recent album by long-time friend, George Michael, Moss raves that “'You’ve Changed' feels fragile and honest; it almost makes me cry. For me, it's the vulnerability, openness, and richness of his voice that does it. The depth of where that comes from touches you in a place that you can't even begin to understand and all of a sudden it's not just a song any more; it becomes an emotion and it takes you into another dimension. That's George's voice.” [The Cut]
