2. Last night, fashion model Heidi Mount called police on her husband, claiming he had a knife after confrontations over their 4-year-old son went sour. Last year, Heidi stood by Shawn when he was falsely accused for raping a model in London. Shawn has a different side to the story:[NYPost]
She made the call in order to get an order of protection against me, so she could get custody of our son. I believe she did it because I asked her through mediation to take a drug test. I believe she is using cocaine.
3. Karl Lagerfeld celebrated his new Coca-Cola Light design at a star-studded party in Paris with waiters dressed up like him to debut his new Coca-Cola Light line. Not only did he design the label, but also shot an ad campaign using models Heidi Mount, Coco Rocha, and Jeneil Williams. Haider Ackermann showed up- could he be the replacement for Karl at Chanel?

For 10 years, it was a hell of a lot of fun. But, toward the end, it unfortunately got less and less fun. You used to be able to be more playful, but now it’s all about money, results and big business. The prêt-à-porter shows have become terribly serious. The atmosphere isn’t as electric as it once was, and they now have about as much charm as a medical conference. But it takes just one good fashion show to get things exciting again.
6. Lily Donaldson is renting her sunny, clean, and very white apartment in the East Village for around $7,995 per month. Check out the living room. [Styleite] 
7. Christian LaCroix created his first furniture line for Sici’s, using his whimsical, radical, and dramatic style to create an innovative design that follows along with his influences:
Having the privilege of being brought up between monuments, museums and 17th century houses- all well-steeped in the history of art- gave me the confidence that everything could be mixed up, particularly the most extreme styles such as baroque, neo-classical, post-modern, kitsch and pop.
From April 12-17, Mr. LaCroix’s collection will be on gallery display in Salone del Mobile Milan fair, and starting June 2011 the furniture will be distributed worldwide in all SICI’s showrooms. [AnotherMag]
