London Fashion Week: Day One
Ella Alexander
Corrie Nielson was given exclusive access to the Kew Gardens archives when working on her spring/summer 2013 collection, which was more than evident in the series of voluminous, ruched and tulip-shaped designs, in a pretty floral-tone colour palette. Zoё Jordan turned to her recent travels to Africa when looking for inspiration for her latest show, resulting in
her signature easy separates getting a serious injection of print. Sheer overlays covered almost everything on the Bora Aksu catwalk, from trapeze dresses to collared shirts -while all the models sported intricate sculptural crowns.
Justice League Announcement May Have Revealed New Aquaman Artist
By: Russ Burlingame
According to commenters on our Facebook page, Eddy Barrows has posted to his personal Facebook page that he is not taking over the art chores on Aquaman but merely did this cover. We were unable to confirm this, due to privacy settings on Barrows’s Facebook account.
Writer/artist Rob Liefeld, though, apparently has had some kind words for Barrows in the recent past. He tweeted, “Hope they stick with my suggestion from 3 months ago and it’s Eddy Barrows on more than just the Aquaman covers.”

James Ellroy Novel ‘Blood’s A Rover’ Optioned By VS Entertainment
By MIKE FLEMING
EXCLUSIVE: Vincent Sieber’s VS Entertainment has acquired screen rights to Blood’s A Rover, the latest novel by L.A. Confidential author James Ellroy.
Sieber, currently executive producing Alex Proyas’ The Unpleasant Profession Of Jonathan Hoag, will produce Rover with Clark Peterson, who recently wrapped production on Atom Egoyan’s Devil’s Knot. Ellroy will be exec producer.
Set during the troubled times of the late 60’s and early 70’s, the novel tells the story of Joan Rosen Klein who, against all odds, triumphs against her mobbed-up and politically connected foes to avenge her lost loved ones. In the process, she alters the course of history as well as the lives of the three men who follow her: Dwight Holly–J. Edgar Hoover’s pet strong-arm goon; Wayne Tedrow—-ex-cop and heroin runner—-who is building a mob gambling mecca in the Dominican Republic; and Don Crutchfield, a window-peeping private-eye within tantalizing reach of right-wing assassins, left-wing revolutionaries and the powermongers of an incendiary era. Their lives collide in pursuit of the “Red Goddess” Joan—and each of them pay a price to live history.

American Airlines pilots to use iPads for flight manuals
The FAA gives approval for the airline to be the first commercial carrier to toss out its paper-based flight manuals in lieu of iPads — saving the airline $1.2 million in gas costs.
by Dara Kerr
American Airlines will be the first commercial carrier to have all of its pilots replace their paper-based reference flying manuals with Apple’s iPad.
The airline announced today that it received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to “to use the Apple iPad in the cockpit during all phases of flight.”
All pilots fly with a kitbag that contains necessary flight information, navigation charts, and reference materials for when they’re in the air. American is dubbing its new kitbag with the iPad an “Electronic Flight Bag.” Switching from paper manuals to the iPad will save the airline $1.2 million in fuel, since the iPad is so much lighter than the 35-pound kitbag previously used by its pilots.

Carmen Dell’Orefice, 81, is Fashion Week’s Oldest Runway Model. She’s Also the Best.
By Piper Weiss
Carmen Dell’Orefice was born before Fashion Week even existed. The 81-year-old, who walked the runway for both Marimekko and Norisol Ferrari at NYFW on Monday, is the oldest working supermodel in the industry and proud of it.
“It’s what I enjoy doing, and I’m able to do it,” she told the Today Show before stepping on to the runway in a mocha-colored floor-length gown.
Discovered at 13, while riding a New York City bus with her mom, she landed the cover of Vogue only three years later. That was back in 1947, when $7.50 an hour was the going rate for the gig.
“It meant nothing to me,” she recalls of seeing her first cover, “except that I thought I looked like a little boy.”

GoDaddy Goes Down After Apparent DNS Server Outage
By Robert McMillan
Many users of GoDaddy’s web hosting services found their websites down and their e-mail not going through on Monday afternoon, apparently following a failure of the company’s Domain Name Service servers.
GoDaddy announced the problems around 11 a.m. Pacific with a short Twitter message, saying: “We’re aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We’re working on it.”
At the same time, posters to the Outages mailing list were reporting that GoDaddy’s DNS servers — the computers that tell, among other things, internet browsers where to find web servers — had been knocked offline.
