Media – both traditional and digital – have been chattering about the failure of Sex and the City 2, the movie that should have saved cinema, the world of entertainment, and maybe even the whole world, period. Well, my dears, it’s no wonder that they are disappointed. I mean, do you read Vogue to get [...]
Still in the haze of sleep this morning, I reached for my BlackBerry and with one eye open, scrolled through the news of the day. Barely past 7 am, and today felt good already. News of Sarah Burton being appointed Creative Director at Alexander McQueen gave me a sense of closure somehow – closure after [...]
Burberry has become ubiquitous nowadays. If you don’t think so, consider where the brand was a year ago and think of the number of times you’ve heard about them or come across the big B just in your daily travels recently. Whether your encounter is of the human variety where an infamous check or trench [...]
…and not in a creepy, Poltergeist sort of way… Sarah, Cynthia, Kim and Kristin were in the city that started the love affair with the girls – Newwwww Yooooork – for the premiere of SATC 2. They opted for simple sophistication vs. over-the-top glam-a-drama that the show is known for. Then again, this is only [...]
Remember the rumour I told you about a while back, which was considered confirmed a few days later? You know, about Giles Deacon designing for Ungaro? Well, now it’s confirmed, confirmed. WWD, Draper’s and other fashion bibles tell us that Deacon is the new CD of the House that Emanuel built. Deacon will continue to [...]
I had no idea that the men’s fragrance market was so tough. Apparently, no men’s cologne can be sold without the designer or model being naked in the ad! First there was Yves in this now infamous shot. Then came Tom whose work for Gucci and YSL – and in his own self promotion – [...]
Sometimes, an image is just sooo striking, it stops you in your stiletto tracks. I lu-uv this photo of Iselin Steiro by Tyen, shot for the June/July 2010 issue of or Vogue Paris. The rest of the editorial is available on Diorette, but the other images weren’t as dreamy as this one. It reminds me [...]
I just watched the live stream of the latest Fashion in Motion series with Osman Yousefzada. You can catch the next one at 8 PM (London time) or 3 PM EST here. I’ll have the full pics and recap for you over the weekend if you missed it. The Victoria and Albert Museum hosts live [...]
Steven Meisel and Linda were a dream team, but his recent covers for Vogue Italia are feeling a little too same-ish. I miss the old guard. Or the new guard to come, beyond today’s wan waifs. Where is the personality, kids? That expression is a million girls old, already. And if you weren’t riveted enough, [...]
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to look downright dangereuse. Did I mention dreamy, dapper, daring and darling? Those apply, aussi. Here’s a clink of a scotch glass to a man who can play on any team – and look divine doing it. International Man of Mystery – one Tom Ford – [...]
Super Claudia just had her baby, but the water cooler chat is still about her nude cover for German Vogue . Photographed by Uncle Karl, because really, there are no other photographers in the history of the fashion world – or one would think with all that Karl does these days. Photo courtesy of TFS.
Some interesting magazine covers have crossed my desk in recent weeks. The biggest is Queen Anna on the cover of freshly launched Industrie mag. As the name suggests, the publication looks under the covers of the fash industry – so who better to crown their primo issue but HRH, herself! Image courtesy of frillr.com.
One of my readers (hope you are reading this, Mr. Z) asked for more posts about fashion and art inspiration. This one just clicked as soon as I saw the images. The previous post included a series of photos of Ragnhild Jevne by Marcus Ohlsson for the April issue of Velvet Magazine. Shot in a [...]
After days of rain, it’s nice to have a dry spell. Sorry for the dry spell in posting. I came across this editorial from the April 2010 issue of Velvet Magazine. It was so dreamy and surreal, it reminded me of a poem by Lord Byron. “Oh! that the Desert were my dwelling place, With [...]
I can’t seem to make my way off the French Riviera. Here I am, staring at the Cote d’Azur and it’s colour deepness blue… Okay, I am not really there Right Now. But I have touched that water and felt those breezes and walked the steps covered at this time of year by a red [...]
