Feifei Sun rounds up the brilliant and bizarre from this week in fashion.
Vogue Controversy Resurfaces. Last March, the fashion magazine published a profile of Asma al-Assad, the first lady of Syria, even as Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s government was ruthlessly cracking down on protesters. Many blasted Vogue for being out of touch, and though the magazine originally defended its article, it was later removed from its website. But not even Anna Wintour could erase the piece completely, and the Atlantic reports that a copy of the full article still exists on a fan page dedicated to President Assad. [The Atlantic]
More Rodarte Costumes. After designing stellar ballerina costumes for last year’s Black Swan, Kate and Laura Mulleavy are now making their first foray into opera.

First Look: Jason Wu for Target. This latest fashion collaboration is likely to cause the same kind of mania that Missoni did last fall. But this time, it’ll be for good reason. From shifts to satchels, the pieces from Jason Wu’s Target collection look just as chic and polished as his runway ensemble. [Lucky]
