Fashion Breakfast: Dandies, Doonan, Wall Street, Catwalks, Parties

Dandies of the world beware. Artist Sebastian Horsely was coming to the U.S. to promote his new book, Dandies of the Underworld, but refused entry to the U.S. on the grounds of 'moral turpitude'. He was wearing his top hat -- naturally, because it is not so easy to pack a top hat -- and they asked him what he had in it. He replied, "my head." (Times Online)

The BBC is making a film about Simon Doonan's life that is produced by Jon Plowman, who produced The Office and Absolutely Fabulous. It is just too good to be true. (NYP)

Retailers saw little on the catwalks to drive consumers to the stores this fall. You heard it here first. (WWD)

Layoffs on Wall Street may affect luxury sales. No kidding! (WWD)

There's a new hot party in London being launched by Boombox regular, designer and best friend of Agyness, Henry Holland. Best news of all? It is at Movida in Mayfair! (press release)
