The Fox network’s ratings juggernaut American Idol has entered into a partnership with Lyric Jeans to release a clothing line inspired by and featuring lyrics from influential musicians.  Musicians whose lyrics will appear on the clothing include David Bowie, Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, and The Beatles.  Honestly, I don’t know whether I should rejoice or burst into tears.  I think the clothing line itself is a great idea, but I think American Idol represents so many things wrong with music and pop culture today.  Such a dilemma…

Giorgio Armani joins the club of designers who have taken inspiration from David Bowie in his Thin White Duke era.  In a change from his usual fare of subdued hues and cuts, his latest collection featured models stomping down the runway in skinny-tailored clothes and fedoras angled to the side, lit from above to look as pallid as possible.  Style.com has a review of the show along with photos of the complete collection and detail shots.
