It promises to be a scandalous L.A. Fashion Week. Everyone hitting the designer shows at Smashbox Studios is sure to be buzzing about Beverly Hills designer Anand Jon's ... um, extracurricular activities. According to TMZ.com, Jon has been charged with some seriously unfashionable crimes. The designer was arrested last week and has been charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assaults dating back a few years. And because his bail is so high, he's had to cancel his denim runway show during next week's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox, which would have taken place next Tuesday.

Anand definitely hangs with the In Crowd in Hollywood and New York. And judging by his Wireimage.com gallery of photos, he has some very famous acquaintances including: Bai Ling, Anne Heche, Barbara Davis, Brandy, Bruce Springsteen, Deborah Gibson, Carolyn Murphy, Jaid Barrymore, Ivanka Trump, M. Night Shyamalan, Mario Van Peebles, Marla Maples, Nicky Hilton, Paula Abdul, Tommy Hilfiger, Susan Sarandon and Trent Ford. Gosh, wonder if any of them will help him make bail.
