Trends and memetics.
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. [...]
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 [...]

Chloe Sevigny in Preen’s Fall 08′ grunge, gender-bending collection looking ever [...]
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.
