Double Hair Croissants at Armani Privé Couture

The models at Armani Privé's couture show are one slouchy opera glove and cigarette holder away from looking like ladies of the manor. You know the type: They lounge about in boudoirs, own actual feather mules, and are prone to fainting spells. The makeup at Armani isn't overly done. It's refined: There's a bit of rouge on the cheeks and lips, plus a defined brow. And the hair, while it looks loose and wispy in front, has plenty of care and consideration that went into the back, by way of a swirled hair croissant. Two of them, actually. Meanwhile, the Downton Abbey ladies are all like, "Been there, done that."

Apple recruits Yves Saint Laurent CEO for VP position focusing on 'special projects'

Paul Deneve, former CEO of fashion outfit Yves Saint Laurent, has joined Apple's top ranks as a vice president. Cupertino says he'll report directly to Tim Cook and will work on "special projects," but there's no word on exactly what he'll be responsible for. While there's no sure-fire way of telling what Deneve will be up to, his experience in fashion and retail brings a few possibilities to mind. Namely, heading up Apple's retail efforts or lending his design chops to wearable computing projects and hardware development in general. It'll likely be a while before we see the fruits of Deneve's labor with his new employer, but now you'll know who to thank if Apple's gadgets receive an extra dose of je ne sais quoi.

"We're thrilled to welcome Paul Deneve to Apple," reads a statement the company sent us. "He'll be working on special projects as a vice president reporting directly to Tim Cook."

Choupette (and Karl Lagerfeld) Get Their Own Statue

When Japanese lifestyle brand Tokodoki released a Karl Lagerfeld statue last year, they were missing one crucial element — his beloved Choupette. Now, according to Vogue U.K., The brand finally got it right: To commemorate Lagerfeld's new collaboration (a limited edition line of jeans, scarves, and T-shirts emblazoned with his Kewpie-fied iconic image) Lagerfeld superfans can also snag the latest in Karl collectibles. It's a 26 centimeter tall statue of Lagerfeld clutching his adored, twitter-famous cat.

Ubisoft security breach exposes user data, Uplay account holders urged to change passwordsUbisoft security breach exposes user data, Uplay account holders urged to change passwords

If you've ever signed up for a Uplay account, your information could now be in the hands of criminals. Ubisoft's confirmed that a security breach at one of its sites, now closed, has granted hackers access to sensitive user data (i.e., usernames, emails and passwords). Critically, no actual financial information was leaked, owing to the fact that Ubisoft doesn't retain personal credit or debit card account numbers on its servers. Regardless, the Assassin's Creed developer is taking proactive measures, contacting account holders directly and strongly advising them to update any related passwords. You can find the full email just after the break.


Dear Member,

We recently found that one of our Web sites was exploited to gain unauthorized access to some of our online systems. We instantly took steps to close off this access, investigate the incident and begin restoring the integrity of any compromised systems.

During this process, we learned that data had been illegally accessed from our account database, including user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords. Please note that no personal payment information is stored with Ubisoft, meaning your debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion.


Out of an abundance of caution, we also recommend that you change your password on any other Web site or service where you use the same or a similar password.

You can find more information here https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ.aspx?platformid=60&brandid=2030&productid=3888&faqid=kA030000000eYZ2CAM.

For any additional support enquiries, please contact our customer service via our support web site at https://support.ubi.com

We sincerely apologize to all of you for the inconvenience. Please rest assured that your security remains our priority.

Fedora 19 Schrodinger's Cat is isn't released

Fedora 19 Schrodinger's Cat may have a name that suggests it's both alive and dead, but there's no uncertainties about its release -- the finished Linux distribution is now available on Fedora's servers. The oddly-nicknamed OS mostly improves content creation. It beats Microsoft to the punch on 3D printer support by including object design and printing tools; budding programmers will also like Node.js support and a Developer's Assistant that simplifies learning new code languages. While there's many more updates than we can list here, it's safe to say that Fedora 19 is a big update for many Linux fans, whether or not they appreciate Schrodinger's quantum mechanics. You can grab the new build and its release notes at the source links.
