Have designers finally had it with giving rich people clothes for free? Designer Mal Sirrah says yes. "From this day forth, Mal Sirrah, Inc. will no longer provide wardrobe to celebrities, socialites, high profile personage and/or mistresses for free, trade nor 'publicity,'" Sirrah wrote in a recent press release sent to Fashion Week Daily. "I truly feel that the time has come to restore dignity, honor and pride to the art and business of fashion design." We'll see how that pans out.

I am not one to gossip, but I thought I would let you know what I saw the other day whilst having lunch at La Goulue on Madison Avenue. I saw Madonna and that designer Mal Sirrah, along with two huge bodyguards having lunch. They were huddled around at a table chatting up a storm with every other word being the "F" word. I though that she had changed. I wish you could have heard the two of them going on and on about how it is a great thing that he is trying to change the industry, blah, blah, blah. I was thinking to myself, "Just what we need is Madonna championing or hopping on another cause." Does she just do this kind of thing for exposure or does she really care about these young designers. Or does she simply love the possibility of hell raising again. All I have to say is that if I were this dude Mal Sirrah, I would be careful with whom I align myself, as Madonna may just be using him to spew her insane ideas and front her causes simply for her own exposure and benefit.

She does have quite a potty mouth. Madonna, Snoop Dogg and The Who all cursed onstage at Live 8, and don't forget her message to folks who tried to download her music for free.
