RSVP for the Victor & Rolf show

Published on 10.07.08

In lieu of the “financial crisis” the Victor and Rolf show was shown exclusively on-line. A team of 57 digitally added Shalom into a runway show featuring her alone. You can pretend you are sitting between Anna, Carine Rotfeld and Nina Garcia. Rachel Zoe couldn’t get a seat. There are endless possibilities for make-believe fun. [...]

Chloe Spring/Summer

Published on 10.07.08

Safe, unoriginal and lacking that certain something. Chloé’s, or Phoebe Philo’s voice rather, has been silenced. I mean, its clear to me McGibbon knows the Chloé palette, but her design sense is lacking. I have a problem with just about everything. The shoes are lackluster, no accessories- hell she even ripped off Christopher Kane.  Scalloped [...]

Fendi Spring Summer 2009

Published on 09.28.08

Sky-high sculptural coifs and coquette-ish flouncy skirts prevailed throughout the collection, balancing a playful, youthful femininity with slightly suggestive undertones, brought on by the revealing cutouts and sheer fabrics A pale, neutral color palette dominated at Fendi’s spring show in Milan on Thursday, with the runway being awash with shades of pale blue, tan, peach, [...]

Selma Blair, Pamela Anderson?

Published on 09.20.08

Selma Blair in Derercuny. Empire waist? Booties? Edgy never loodked so dull. Selma Blair in in Chanel. “Enter bawdy double entendre here” Selma chanels vampish Mae West. Pamela Anderson in a Vivienne Westwood misguided femme fatale interpritation. Obvious puns aside, Pamela’s “look” is distastefully monochromatic; skin, hair, dress all the same shimmery shade of despondence. [...]

Fashion Insider/Celebrity Style: Taylor Momsen, Kirsten Dunst, Chloe Sevigny

Published on 09.19.08

Taylor Momsen in the philosophy of Alberta Ferrati. Gossip’s Girl: Spotted looking for her Page Six moment. You are well on your way; age inappropriate vis-à-vis Racel Zoe attire is an asssured way to wag those tongues. Although class and effort is always applauded. Chloe Sevigny in Preen’s Fall 08′ grunge, gender-bending collection looking ever [...]

Pendants: A Girl’s Best Friend.

Published on 09.12.08

It’s the poetic version of diamonds and the bohemian version of pearls. Instead of wearing your heart on your sleeve, let it dangle on a chain. It’s the kind of subtle, expressive jewellery you’d expect Virginia Woolf to wear, while Kate Moss has been wearing her favourite pendant for months, a sure indication of a [...]

It’s an Investment

Published on 09.03.08

With the economy in tatters, one of the biggest trends being pushed by high fashion designers this season is “timeless classics”.
