Charles Saatchi: Question
Advertising magnet Charles Saatchi isn’t one for interviews, therefore he prefers to write books instead to give others a piece of his brilliant mind. With the follow up to “My name is Charles Saatchi and I am an Artaholic“, comes “ Charles Saatchi: Question.” This new edition to the advertising mogul’s growing list of publications answers alot of questions as the title states. Some of the questions quoted by publisher Phaidon are as follows: “How can I raise £5000 in a hurry? How do you sleep at night? Is it better to give than to receive? What’s the secret of inner peace? In this new volume influential art collector Charles Saatchi provides the answers to these, and over 100 more, fresh questions.”
Charles Saatchi: Question is scheduled for release April 7, 2010. Pre-Order your copy here.

Maison Moschino x Themed Boutique Hotel
We can assure you’ve never slept in a luxury boutique hotel like the Maison Moschino. Owned by Fashion house Moschino, their Creative Director Rossella Jardini was the visionary behind the concept, design, and decoration. The hotel boasts 16 unique and whimsical private quarters, and 65 themed rooms, each meticulously decorated and designed. Our favorite piece is the pastry chandelier. A few themed rooms are the “Alice room”, “Petal Room”, “Red riding Hood”, “Clouds”, “Sleeping in a Ball Gown”, “Gold”, and “Luxurious attic”. All this artistic opulence comes at a price though, the themed rooms start at around $368 and up a night.

Robert Pattinson x Norman Jean Roy x Details
Actor Robert Pattinson covers the latest Details magazine photographed by Norman Jean Roy. Read the full interview here. For some reason Details’ and GQ’s covers seem recycled … they just reuse the same “a-list” male stars and same photographers, instead of using upcoming stars and various photographers, or by being more creative/ edgy. What do you think?

Alexander McQueen Dead at 40
According to the Daily Mail British fashion Icon and CO favorite Alexander McQueen has committed suicide. This is a sad day in the fashion world. Less than 4 months ago Korean Supermodel Daul Kim took the same way out. What makes this really unfortunate is that McQueen was at his peak, the upper echelon of the fashion world, especially after the recent unveiling of the Mcqueenadillos. Our prayers go out to his family, friends, and fans worldwide.
Quotes:
“McQueen was found at his luxury flat in Green Park, central London. It is believed he hanged himself.”
“A source at McQueen’s office this afternoon confirmed his death, saying: ‘It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family.”
“His death comes just days before the start of London Fashion Week and weeks before he was due to unveil his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.”
