FASHION DILEMMA
Fashion designers on Twitter - a good thing?

Was the world a darker place before Twitter? Fashion Statement thinks so. The website has opened up a whole new world for us and suddenly there is drama in our lives where before there was only a black pit of despair. We were the first to know when Perez Hilton allegedly (no libel case for us) got smacked in the face by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. As Perez tweeted:

I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.

We wondered why the police weren't following him (on Twitter, obviously) as dialling 911 was evidently so 2008 darling.

Then there's British wunderkind Henry Holland, who last week finally reached the dizzying heights of celebrity stardom and informed us all about it via a tweet:

So i just got a FREE Nandos for a whole year card. Jealous much?!

Words cannot describe the shade of green we have turned.

In the last few weeks, though, Twitter has made its move into high fashion. Long-established designer Stephano Gabbana, of Dolce and Gabbana, has been demonstrating an impressive grasp of modern technology to give us a thrilling insight into the world of a top Milan fashion house. On November 8 came his first hilarious diva moment:

Dinner...i would like green salad & fish!

as if he expected thousands of his followers to drop their Blackberrys and rustle him up a a nice poached trout with rocket. So demanding.

Then, just a few days later, we learned about his understated sense of style:

I just order a new vespa!!!!!! :-) love

... and a little later,

I like gold or Leopard print 4 my new vespa....

We also learned that the designer has an impressive gift for stating the obvious:

2day its very november in Milano..

This tweet was posted on November 13.

Thrillingly, it now seems that Stephano is using Twitter to help along the design process, ostensibly by asking his followers to do it for him:

I accept suggestions on women's collection.....(just 2day) :-))))
