"NU was the first Yves Saint Laurent fragrance launched under the creative direction of Tom Ford. The press release stated: “Tom Ford seeks the woman in her naked truth. And finds it in the scent of flesh and wraps it in a sober metal star. An androgynous fragrance with incense, woody and spicy notes”

I first saw this in Vogue UK and it's interesting that it's not a popular Tom campaign, but at the time it was probably seen as pretty pictures. Now it would probably be a mini scandal.
 
There are a lot of goodies in the Andy Warhol Diaries, but these two entries specifically seem relevant for this thread. Personally, I've always loved the part about John McKendry (Loulou's stepfather) realizing that the aristocracy was just as dumb as everybody else and being crushed by it: "There was nothing left for him to live for."

One more thing (sorry for being the "random fashion moment" troll).

I was looking at old issues of Spy magazine on Google Books not too long ago (you know, Graydon Carter before Vanity Fair) and it was kind of funny. I came across a feature they had where they pretended to be a "Hungarian royal" and offered different celebrities huge amounts of money (to see who'd accept!), naturally, Karl was contacted:
