As I look out at snow-covered rooftops (we haven’t had many in Canada this year, but we did manage to get a snow blitz the last few days), I am reminded by the colourful fashion images on my laptop that Spring is indeed around the corner. In India today, they are welcoming Spring with the [...]
Watching the Gucci live stream from Milan earlier, I did a double take when I saw these sandals from the label’s FW10 collection. Well, they are the sole sisters (no DNA test required) of these Other Italians…by Miuccia Prada for FW07. I didn’t like the Prada ones at all until I saw Giovanna Battaglia in [...]
As you may know from hanging out in this space from time to time, Daphne Guiness is one of my fashion heroes. No one can put together clothes like this woman. She is planets ahead of us all when it comes to style. And now, well, in 2011, we can all ogle the gladrags she [...]
I was about to declare day one at Milan Fashion Week a yawner… Dolce and Gabbana did cable knit onesies, fur shorts and furrier mukluks. Practical, no? DSquared did apres ski much better in recent years. So did Valentino (sigh, that chalet in the documentary!) and Chanel. Prada usually doesn’t interest me. A nice dress [...]
WWD reports that Lee McQueen’s funeral is being held today. The service is for family only. Another service for friends and beyond will take place later this year. No details for that have been announced, with the company focusing on getting ready for the Paris show on March 9th. Sending the McQueen clan much love during [...]
Is it me or do these two dresses from the recent Fall Winter 2010 collections look a little more than similar? The expression and hair on Scott’s model also reminds me of Supe, Karen Mulder. Johnson image courtesy of Village Voice. Scott image courtesy of WWD.
Ahh-na is going to be joining the likes of Helen Gurley Brown, Hugh Hefner, Tina Brown and Martha Stewart. Ms. Wintour is the latest honoree for the Magazine Editors’ Hall of Fame. She’ll be honoured in April, at the annual gala put on by the American Society of Magazine Editors, for her legendary work at [...]
…their one year anniversary. Or are they celebrating big hair? Judge for yourself. The celebratory issue features Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif (or as I like to call her – Katrina Coif), two of the best tressed in the business. To me, it’s all about the hair! Hrithik’s also got a killer bod – a [...]
London Fashion Week had frocks. London even had smocks. But for me, the talk and the walk stopped at these elegant coatdresses, which had all the elements of style, locked! Don’t even get me started on the burgundy lip. For me, it’s never left! Images courtesy of WWD.
…I don’t like Mondays… …but I do-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo…like Mr. Geldof’s offspring Pixie in this little number from Ms. Westwood. Classic Westwoood off the shoulder? Check. Gothic black? Check. Military? Check. Requisite tattoos? Check. Bleached hair? Check. Scowl? Check. Cross to bear? Cross to wear? Definitely, both. Image from Style.com.
Everyone in London was frocking out for Fall Winter 2010. Girlishness is in – whether it’s the sweet girl next door or the bad girl of the rock star variety. It doesn’t matter what type of girl you are – the London lot of designers want you to look like one. In a proper dress. [...]
As Spring approaches, so do the Sears Catalogue-sized March issues of the mags. Picked up my first two the other day and loved this editorial by Karl Lagerfeld for Harper’s Bazaar US, featuring Iris Strubegger posing as a handful of notable designers. Look for more mag coverage over the coming weeks. I am slowly starting [...]
I came across this yesterday. It was posted by Fashion Television in response to the news that the Alexander McQueen label would go on without the designer, despite the fact that he has left us. It’s from an interview with Jeanne Beker done in 2006. A lot can change in four years, so not sure [...]
The legacy of Mr. McQueen will live on. Gucci Group CEO Robert Polet told WWD today that the Alexander McQueen label and business will go on despite Lee McQueen’s death last week. “We believe in the future of the brand. Lee was very proud of the people working in his company, and so am I,” [...]
Taking an (ahem) departure from films for the moment, master film director Martin Scorcese is making television commercials. No, really. The bushy-eyebrowed cinematic genius is directing the latest spot for Chanel’s next men’s fragrance. Smells intriguing and a little bit too much all at once, n’est pas? The ads will hit the airwaves in September, [...]
