Link Buzz: Bruce Weber Photographs Johnny Depp for Interview Mag; Your Grandmother’s Beauty Brands

  • Bruce Weber photographed Johnny Depp for the cover of Interview‘s April Issue and I feel like: Overall effect, yes; Goatee, still no; Teddy bear, Whaaaat? (I like it though, the teddy bear.) [Forums]

     
  • Betsey Johnson speaks truths: “You have to stick to who you are, but you also have to know how to reinvent yourself. Ask Ralph, Donna, or Tommy. You have to keep it alive. The hardest thing is to make the ideas work with a big financial bottom line. I try to inspire people to have courage, have fun and do your own thing.” [Racked]

     
  • This slogan tee trend is giving me so many junior high flashbacks I’m almost tempted to go buy a pair of hiphuggers.  [FabSugar]

     
  • Why your grandmother’s favorite beauty brands should be yours too. [BellaSugar]

     
  • Do “factory extras” — leftovers from a luxury brand order sold on the black market — really exist? Probably no. [JingDaily]

     
  • The Bag Snob bloggers have launched their own line of handbags, focusing on providing high quality at an accessible price point: “We see thousands and thousands of bags every month because that’s our business. With this line we’re not trying to compete with Givenchy or Chanel or even Rebecca Minkoff. We want to be a great value to the 99.99 percent of women who shop at Zara or Forever 21, but those bags are now $150 dollars. We want to offer something to women for a great price.” [WWD]
