We were afraid Anna Wintour was losing her edge, but never mind: She reportedly demanded that a 22-year-old assistant cut her Rapunzel-esque hair. [Gawker]

Mrs. Wintour is also atop the list of the 50 most powerful people in fashion. Other familiar names on the list: Tom Ford, Simon Doonan and...the guy who runs soup and sammy chain Wichcraft? Maybe eating and fashion are finally starting to get along. [The Daily News]

Project Runway rages on and New York Fashion Week steadily approaches. So, naturally, Michael Kors gets a NYT profile. What do we learn? His mother wore hot pants and lace palazzo pants. She sounds fab. [NYT]
