Transition: Caitlyn Jenner sent shockwaves across the nation with the release of her Vanity Fair cover shot by by Annie Leibovitz. Jenner's 8-part docu-series "I Am Cait" will premiere July 26 on E!.

Accolades: The winners of the 2015 CFDA Awards were announced Monday at a ceremony in New York City. The night's top prize, Womenswear Designer of the Year, went to The Row.

Legal trouble: Zara USA and several Zara executives have been slapped with a discriminatory lawsuit. Former employee Ian Jack Miller is seeking damages of over $40 million, claiming he experienced anti-semitism and racism. Speaking of lawsuits, the Supreme Court ruled against Abercrombie & Fitch in another case dealing with religious discrimination.

Endorsements: Did enlisting high-profile campaign stars like Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner result in higher revenues for Calvin Klein? The answer is complicated. But bear in mind that denim is a hard business to be in right now.

Comeback: Despite his dismissal from Dior for anti-semitic comments years ago, John Galliano has managed not only to stay afloat in his new role at Maison Margiela, but the brand's sales are even increasing under his creative direction.
