Chic in Review Burberry Rules the World Wide Web

Alba, Jessica
Sues the weight-loss garment, Belly Bandit, for listing her under the “Celebrity Testimonials” section of its Web site. Heck, I’d be upset, too, if I’d dieted for months after giving birth and a silly slimming gimmick got all of the credit.

Barton Cheap Nike Air Max 2012, Mischa
Slabs meat on her face for the controversial photographer Tyler Shields. PETA gets angry and says the shoot is like “licking a toilet.” Hm.

Burberry
Is the No.1 fashion brand in the digital world. Which is the only world that matters now, right? Duh duh duh.

Claiborne, Liz
Sells brand, which includes Juicy Couture and Kate Spade, to JCPenney and is in search of a new name. A penny for your thoughts?

Condé Nast
Introduces a new art, culture and fashion magazine about — wait for it — Azerbaijan. It’s named after the capital, Baku.

Gap
Will close 189 locations (21 percent of its stores in the United States) by the end of 2013.

Sells bars of gold (for a price tag of $1,681). The 59-year-old French fashion designer is also the subject of a new film by one of his former muses, Farida Khelfa.

Hermès
Unveils its new line of limited-edition saris just after opening its second store in Mumbai.

Human Stilettos
The scariest Photoshop creation ever. This will haunt your dreams.

Lohan, Lindsay
Girl, brush your teeth! Now that’s just mean.

Milan
Stands firm on its Fashion Week show dates.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Costume Institute’s next major fashion exhibition will focus on Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. They’ve never met. …

Obama, Michelle
Shops sometimes! News!

Prada
Latest gift items are decked-out bears on key chains complete with metallic belly shirts and tricked-out crazy yellow hair. I think there is even an eye patch on one. Estimated at $150 a pop.

Simple Be
The British plus-size retailer just installed jumbo-size fitting rooms http://ubbrmt.blogspot.com/, complete with a sofa instead of the typical stool. They doubled the mannequins too!

Tahari discount coach handbags, Elie
And Arthur Levine “officially” close deal with Catherine Malandrino.

Tiffany & Co.
Teams up with Baz Luhrmann’s new film, “The Great Gatsby,” to be its fine jeweler. Expect the actresses Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher in one-of-a-kind platinum and diamond-encrusted headpieces.

Urban Outfitters
Offends a Native American woman with its “cheap, vulgar and culturally offensive retail collection,” she writes in an open letter about items like the “Navajo Hipster Panty.” Which is what, exactly?

Victoria’s Secret
Fashion Show taps Kanye West and Maroon 5 for the best fashion show of them all! Tune in on Nov. 29.

Westwood, Vivienne
Disses fashion magazines and says they are “incredibly boring.” Smooth move, Ferguson.
