Unless you’ve been living under a Mayan temple (well, maybe even more so in that case…), you’ve probably heard that the world is going to end tomorrow. Since we haven’t really got much say in the matter, we figured we might as well look on the bright side: There are a whole lot of trends we’ve been waiting to fade out for a while now, but for whatever reason, they don’t seem to be budging–even through that whole terrifying zombie episode. But the end of the world will fix all that, right?

And so, courtesy of the Fashionista office, here are the 15 clothing, accessory, and beauty trends we’d like to see disappear on 12.21.12. Feel free to add in your suggestions! We’ll be praying to the Fashion Apocalypse gods right there with you.

After ten fabulous, highly quotable seasons, Michael Kors is saying auf wiedersehen to Project Runway.

His replacement on the judging panel? None other than Zac Posen, who earlier today tweeted, “So excited to be the new judge on @ProjectRunway Season 11!! Joining @heidiklum @ninagarcia and @TimGunn.” On what Posen learned from his predecessor during his stint as a PR guest judge in Seasons 3 and 4, the designer told the AP (via Fox) that Kors “was always a generous, warm mentor.” We can only hope he also picked up a few metaphors along the way.

The only thing more awkward and uncomfortable than spotting a man wearing leggings as pants in Manhattan? This article about men wearing leggings as pants in Manhattan, brought to us by the fine (and as you’d imagine, somewhat conservative) people at Business Insider.

According to the piece, which was written by a Brit, ‘meggings,’ as we’re calling them nowadays, are “all the rage in sartorial circles” and “taking Manhattan by storm” (Ed note: Too soon?). Justin Bieber and Russel Brand both wear ’em, and “fashion stores” like Uniqlo, Nordstrom, and Barneys can barely keep them in stock. While you may have never seen a grown guy sporting said man tights (apart from that one exhibitionist American Apparel Chelsea employee), meggings have their own #fuckyeah Tumblr… so they must be real.

And the meggings trend is apparently only going to get worse. Quote, “The bad news is [meggings] are on their way to Britain. Uniqlo is already selling them on its British website, and their success in New York is seen as an indication they will also prove popular here.” Eek.

At Tuesday night’s premiere of In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye (which airs today btw), WWD caught up with Sarah Jessica Parker, who makes a cameo in the doc.

When asked about her first Vogue sitting, a 1994 shoot with Grace Coddington and Steven Meisel, Parker recalled, “[Grace Coddington] pulled a teeny-tiny white bikini off the hanger, and in my whole life I had never worn a bikini…I didn’t wear a bikini as a little girl. I certainly didn’t wear a bikini as an older little girl, and nor would I ever put one on today. I thought ‘It’s Grace Coddington, I should put on what she asks me to do.’ Linda Evangelista sat in the corner and told me how to stand. I have never worn a bikini since.”

It’s a story Parker recounted for Vogue.com‘s “Vogue Stories”–a series in which past Vogue subjects recall their big Vogue break. “I thought, I can summon enormous courage and reject the bikini and perhaps end my relationship with Vogue forever, or I can summon a different kind of courage, the kind where you agree to do whatever is asked of you, and that is what I did,” she said.

Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, arguably the supermodels of the 90s, have been busy girls this month–Naomi filming The Face and throwing lavish three-day parties for her beau, and Kate fondling Rihanna in V Magazine and promoting new book Kate: The Kate Moss Book.

And now the two greats have taken time out of their hectic schedules to reunite on the cover of Interview Russia–and naturally, they’re both topless.

This is their only cover together since Vogue Paris’ 2008 ‘Bad Girls’ issue–and we have to say this is quite the reunion.

Yesterday Vogue released its December cover story, featuring Anne Hathaway, who’s starring as Fantine in the much-hyped Les Misérables. While she dished on everything from her career to her wedding gown, there were two words in the profile (written by Adam Green) that had pretty much the entire internet in a tizzy yesterday: Oatmeal paste.

Hathaway revealed that to look properly emaciated and consumptive for her Les Mis role, she ate nothing but two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day to shave off that final 15 pounds. Wait. What the hell is oatmeal paste? Why didn’t Adam Green delve more into this with the actress?

A quick Google search of the term yields…a recipe for treating flea bites on dogs. Oatmeal is very soothing. There are whole beauty lines–like Aveeno–in which oatmeal is a main ingredient. If you think about, fleas were probably an issue for humans in 19th century France, too. But I digress. Since the internet couldn’t help, I went to an expert. Turns out nutritionists don’t know what exactly oatmeal paste is, either.

I contacted Keri Gans, RD, who is the author of The Small Change Diet. “I have never heard of oatmeal paste, but it simply could be oats and water. Perhaps to get the ‘dried squares’ the oats were baked–whether other ingredients were added I can’t say,” she told me. “Totally not surprised that she would lose weight eating this–but it isn’t something I would recommend to others.”

Yesterday, Vogue announced that Sally Singer had been named creative director of digital, a position that didn’t exist until, well, right now. And while the newly created position is certainly a personal coup for Singer, it’s also indicative of a greater trend going on in the fashion industry: The creation of completely new jobs that even five years ago were non-existant.

The fashion industry, despite being based on change in terms of design and trends, has always been slow to adapt to other types of change, such as those related to technology, society and the environment. When we think about jobs in fashion, we still think of the same ones there have always been: buyers, PRs, editors, photographers, stylists and journalists. The only new one that seems firmly planted in our vernacular so far is “blogger.” And even that job comes with an ever-increasing variety of possible roles and opportunities that are only occasionally talked about.

But whether you’re aware of them or not, a lot of new fashion jobs are cropping up–and mostly, we have technology to thank for the influx.

There are upsides and downsides to this. An upside is: yay, jobs! A downside? There’s no way to know what to major in at school because by the time you graduate, the job landscape may have changed again.

The Maison Martin Margiela collab for H&M hits stores in just one month, on November 15. Time to start getting excited about it, right?

To whet your whistle for one of H&M’s most unusual and anticipated collections to date, we’ve just received the official look book.

True Margiela fans should be more than pleased. The collection is a re-edition of iconic MMM pieces over the last 23 years since the house’s founding. Each item will have a tag to indicate the season from which it originated. According to a press release, H&M sought to reproduce the most “representative” pieces of the Margiela archive–at H&M price points, of course.

It’s official: The series finale of Gossip Girl is a mere eleven episodes away. While many a cynic may argue that the show actually ended sometime during the second season, for us die-hard Upper East Side wannabes, this news is harder hitting than a Nairtini to the head. Personally, Blair Waldorf is not only listed as an ‘inspirational person’ on my Facebook, but she’s also my pet gerbil’s namesake.

There’s been a lot to love about Gossip Girl: The clever scheming, the ridiculous love triangles (hexagons?), the endless ‘Chuck Bass‘ puns, the Williamsburg cityscapes, Blair’s putdowns, the “underage” drinking, the predictable plot twists, Serena’s endless supply of attractive man-suitors, and who could forget, Dorota. But of course, what we’ll miss most of all is the fashion. Gossip Girl has been on top of the fashion game since its first “XOXO” way back in early 2007, and as the series progressed, the characters’ signature styles arguably surpassed the plot development in terms of critical praise.

Between Blair’s preppy headbands, Chuck’s dandy suits, and Serena’s gravity-defying cleavage, the influence the kids of Constance have had on street style and fashion spreads alike is undeniable. So, as a tearful ode to our favorite CW soap, here’s a look back at some of the style stand-outs that have made the last five years of impossible-to-follow plot lines a little more bearable.
