In the speed round, the editor of British Vogue stepped down, a classic fashion book and movie is coming to Broadway, and Lady Gaga’s heading to the Super Bowl (in a Tiffany ad). Meanwhile, Abercrombie is cutting 150 jobs, and women in Britain have something new to shout about (hint: fewer dumb dress code rules). Come hang out!
