The Belly Button Mystery, CFDA Winners & Losers
♦ It's a horrifying mystery that will weigh heavily on all of our minds until it's solved: Where on earth is Karolina Kurkova's belly button? [Telegraph, Daily Mail]
♦ Diane von Furstenberg confirmed last night that she has submitted sketches for Michelle Obama's inaugural ball gown: "Well, they asked me to. Of course, everybody has." [The Cut]
♦ Best outfit worn to the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards last night: Agyness Deyn's tux-style black suit with Marc Jacobs hat and red platforms. Absolute worst: Blake Lively's hideous Vena Cava dress, which we can only imagine was chosen to fulfill a contractual obligation to expose her boobs at all times. [stylefile, Teen Vogue]
♦ On the subject of '90s supermodels and their supposed comeback, modest and unassuming Helena Christensen says: "Please! We were there all along... It's rubbish to say that the new girls are coming through and stealing our crowns—we'll always reign supreme. If you are beautiful it will always be that way." [Grazia]
♦ Former Asfour designer Kai Kuhne is currently the designer of choice for art world women: In the past week, art consultant Yvonne Force Villareal, Performa founder Roselee Goldberg, artists Agathe Snow and Rita Ackermann, socialite/designer Genevieve Jones, and gallerist Bronwyn Keenan have all worn dresses from his latest collection to events.

♦ The first pictures of Alexander McQueen's Target collection have arrived, and his muse/inspiration, singer Leila Moss, says the experience is "sort of preposterous and delightful at the same time." [WWD, WWD]
♦ The Reebok pop-up shop on the Bowery is now open. [Racked]
