The Hollywood fashion legend (and life partner of Bob Mackie) has passed away at the age of 83. In addition to working on endless high-profile movies, he also won the first-ever Emmy for Costume Design.

The designer collaboration has already become the stuff of legend: The day it launched, an inundation of eager shoppers managed to crash the retailer's site. And, clearly, the collection is still riding high.

The Christopher Bailey-designed label landed the number-one spot for its online prowess, while Prada, Givenchy, Zac Posen, and Manolo Blahnik get sent to digital detention.

Plus, Gucci fights claims of "inhumane" working conditions, Alexander Wang talks Dior, and St. John looks to expand.
