Tina Fey Doesn’t Want to Look Like a Model; Kimora Lee Simmons to Launch Macy’s Line

• Tina Fey to Vogue: “People will say, ‘Oh, fashion magazines are so bad, they’re giving girls a negative message’ — but we’re also the fattest country in the world, so it’s not like we’re all looking at fashion magazines and not eating. Maybe it just starts a shame cycle: I’m never going to look like that model, so … Chicken McNuggets it is! And conversely, I don’t look at models who are crazy skinny and think I want to look like that, because a lot of them are gigantic, with giant hands and feet.” [Jezebel]

• Kimora Lee Simmons has a Macy’s line coming out called Kouture by Kimora. She says, “It’s totally recession-proof shopping — meaning that a little cocktail dress is probably 40 bucks. I don’t want people to say, ‘Do I pay my electric bill this month, or go shopping?’” [WWD]

Preen’s designers, though British, like to show in New York because they have access to better models than in London. [Fashionologie]

• Tomorrow’s Y-3 show will reportedly include a laser-light spectacular. Be still our hearts. [Fashionista]

Glamour held a marketing event at Condé Nast headquarters involving dancers. S.I. Newhouse witnessed it and “bobbed his head along to the routine set to Lady Gaga’s ‘Just Dance.’” [NYP]
