Sir Philip Green’s Next Move; Nicolas Ghesquière Nabs Accessories Award

• Topshop owner Sir Philip Green flew to Iceland over the weekend to negotiate a deal with retail investor Baugur. That’s right — he’s got dough to blow. He could get a big discount on stakes in London’s High Street brands like Whistles. [Guardian]

• Mary J. Blige will present at the Accessories Council Excellence (Ace) Awards on November 3. Honorees include Jimmy Choo’s Tamara Mellon, Nicolas Ghesquière, and Stella McCartney. [WWD]

• Model Lara Stone: “When I was 16, being naked was a problem, but it has never really been an issue for me. Better naked than wearing really tight corsets. I don’t put myself in situations that I feel uncomfortable with, you know, someday my children are going to see this. My tits are not really that big. Next season I might go for a more dressed up Lara, like a librarian or something.” [Fashionologie]

• Kirsten Dunst was spotting wearing a piece of the new Prada spring 2009 collection but did not pair it with the shoes that made the models fall. [Grazia]

• Eva Longoria was spotted out in a pair of jeans from Victoria Beckham’s dVb line. Maybe the line has a fighting chance after all. [Denimology]
