While fans of Hedi Slimane’s long and lean style eagerly await the designer’s return to Yves Saint Laurent, this time designing women’s, it appears they may have to wait a little longer. In a move that echoes Tom Ford’s return to fashion, the designer has decided to show his new collections to a small and select group, according to WWD .

Our latest up-and-comer shot to the model stratosphere last season with castings at Prada, Chanel (twice!), Hermès, Haider Ackermann, and Maison Martin Margiela.

Spanish editor Luis Venegas’s cult magazine Candy has featured some eye-catching covers in its first few issues, with James Franco in drag and Chloë Sevigny posing as Terry Richardson . Now in its fourth issue, the world’s “first transversal style magazine” has taken its trans theme less literally with a liqueur-sweet shot of Tilda Swinton transformed into a retro-futuristic cabaret diva with a flowing mane of red curls. Though the actor is best known for her own brand of androgynous dressing, here, wrapped in custom gold lamé, she gives the perfect frontage for what’s dubbed the Extra Extravagance Issue

It’s tempting to think Rob Pruitt’s Flea Market this Saturday night in Paris will be a collective performance-art stunt, a kind of blithe comment on mass consumerism by an entire swath of the artistic community. But judging from a similar market the American artist staged two years ago in London, in association with the Tate, it’s safe to say it is exactly what it claims to be… Rob Pruitt’s Flea Market Saturday, May 19, 18:00-00:00 Monnaie de Paris 11 Quaiy de Conti 75006 Paris
