This week has been filled with as much drama for the publishing and fashion world as there would be on an episode of The Hills. New York Post writer and my professor, Danica Lo exchanged some nasty dislikes for Carla Krupp, famed StyleWatch contributor and fashion commenter. Ding Ding Ding, let the games begin.
The issue was really about the copycat syndrome. Danica, in 2006 published her style guide book, How Not to Look Fat, while Karla followed in her footsteps by publishing a book How Not to Look Old. With a brush of that under the rug (Dancia was clearly annoyed but did not react) Karla's next book has been in the works for a 2010 release. The title - How Not to Look Fat Ever Again.
Danica, a very outspoken, individual has been blasting her disappointment, scolding Carla, and winning over the public from the more recognizable fashion connoisseur. After all of Lo's statements even going as far as to call her a jerk, and witty comments in the Post that would suggest Carla would continue this pattern, (Danica joked that her next book would be titled The Great Great Gatsby). An announcement in today's WWD crowned Danica the winner.
The news: Carla would be changing her book title to How to Never Look Fat Ever Again. Despite a still similar sounding title Danica gave her the one-two punch, knocking her down for the count and definitely bruising an ego in the process.
Victory never tasted so sweet.
