In the new issue of Love hitting stands today, Donatella Versace laments the current state of the modeling world. She doesn't think they need to be literally fed, but says, "We need to feed the egos of these girls." She misses the era of supermodels, when Kate Moss, Amber Valetta, and Kristen McMenamy would all walk Versace's runway together. Some designers became scared the personalities of such famous models would overpower and distract from the clothes. But not so, says Donatella: "Fame on fame means more fame!" She adds:

"There is an idea of neutrality in models now. Little make-up, no expression, like a robot ... That is very stupid. It is almost as if the models have to have the appearance of something serious, to give an intellectual base, but they themselves are rarely like that."

Last night the Human Rights Campaign of Greater New York held its annual dinner in honor of equal rights for the LGBT community. We caught up with Tim Gunn, who loves his growing legion of straight male fans. Does he think many watch Project Runway? "They do indeed. I'm proud of that, I think it's cool. You can't watch the show and not buy into who the designers are and the whole general nature of what fashion is," he told us. "So the more diverse the audience is, the happier I am. When we were taping in L.A., I had to walk by a construction site to get to the set; my apartment was a block away. At one point, these construction guys were shouting from the scaffolding: 'Tim Gunn, you're killing me with that show!' I bet they're not gay — though I shouldn't say that. You never know. But they were definitely fans."

Tuleh just canceled its fall 2010 runway show. Now speculation is swirling that the label's funding has run out and it might not survive. WWD reports that Tuleh isn't meeting the demands of its creditors, backed by Trilea Holdings Inc., which are reportedly no longer investing in the label. Trilea is rumored to be looking into options to salvage Tuleh, which could include anything from selling it altogether to forging new licensing deals to getting a loan. A rep from Trilea said, "The business has been and continues to be unprofitable, and creditors were making demands that the company could not satisfy." Insiders told WWD that "the brand still resonates with customers." It remains unclear what will happen to Tuleh's spring deliveries and the label's lower-priced Bryan Bradley line. Fashion Week parties may be back in full force this season, and spirits remain high, but this is just one reminder that the effects of the downturn are still being felt.

Coco Rocha is a sought-after television host. After reporting on red-carpet fashion at the Grammys for Entertainment Tonight Canada, the 21-year-old Canadian model will sharpen her hosting skills this week when she hosts Fashion Week TV, a live-coverage broadcast of New York Fashion Week that will air on the public-television channel NYCtv Life.

Those who think fashion is all about fitting in are wrong. Fashion is all about standing out, being different, wearing things that are cool because no one else has them or knows where you got them. These things don't even have to be attractive (plaid flannels, anyone?) as long as you like them, they make you happy, and you wear them with confidence. Which is why it makes perfect sense for Jersey Shore style to catch on. Those fashion sensibilities haven't caught on en masse yet, but the kids are, according to the AP, hungry for the Shore look. Such as this tenth-grader.
