“I have heard the mermaids singing each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me…” These ladies could have very well been Eliot’s inspiration, in another time. There they sit, in St. Tropez awaiting Chanel’s collection (or afterwards, perhaps). We gaze at the perfection that adorns their feet. Strapped for words, [...]
We should call this St. Tropez Week! First there was the trailer for the film. Then the Bocce ball soiree. Remember Now, Karl Lagerfeld’s 17-minute film for Chanel’s 2011 Resort collection is now online. The one-liners are divine (Karl says he prefers them to a full script and I can see why!). Get a glass [...]
…and I do mean scenesters. After all, they were there to watch Karl Lagerfeld’s film, Remember Now, the 17-minute on-screen romp of the pretty, precious and pampered set which preempted the Cannes Film Festival by a couple of days. Leave it to Uncle Karl to upstage Cannes – like showing up at a wedding rehearsal [...]
10 Magazine. 10 years. 10 fashion gods. 10 covers. Sportos collect hockey cards. We, of the fash pack, collect mags. See your haute heroes, as captured by the photogs of their choice. Start working out with 10-pound weights to get ready for the lug home. My fave is Auntie Viv and Uncle Karl. Oh, and [...]
As I write this, sitting in a cool Toronto Spring windchill, the beautiful people are catching sea breezes in St. Tropez for the Chanel Resort collection. There has been buzz for weeks about Karl shooting in the French resort location with the woman that has been causing a stir, Elisa Sednaoui. The actress was Karl’s [...]
Penelope Cruz took over the editing reins at Vogue Paris for the May issue which has her and her celeb pals gracing three different covers of the mag wearing GAP. It was all a part of the “Red Hot” campaign – to raise funds for the fight against AIDS in Africa. The photos, taken by [...]
During my exploration of the fash fest that is the Costume Institute Gala, I had a couple of déjà vu moments. I ask you, dear readers, is it moi or is sweet Carey Mulligan slowly morphing into Renee Zellweger? You are on the red carpet, ladies! You are allowed to smile coyly at least. I [...]
There was more to see at the Met’s Costume Institute Gala than usual this year – with so many celebs and designers mixing it up. It’s also a major media frenzy now, so that just adds fuel to the fame game. Here’s my final roundup of the night. If you missed the others, catch up [...]
Red carpet fashion at the Met’s Costume Institute Gala last night included everything from the sleek to the oblique, the shine to the divine, the delightful to the frightful. In addition to Diane Kruger’s reign of the red carpet, there was a woman who can be compared to no other. She rules her own kingdom. [...]
The Metropolitan Museum of Art held its annual Costume Institute Gala, to mark the opening of the American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity exhibit last night. The event and red carpet isn’t what it used to be. Like everything else, it has become homogenized and mainstream. When you see curator Andrew Bolton on Entertainment Tonight, [...]
So, where were we? Oh yes, we were talking about the poetry and the balance of life. While fashion’s minimalism in recent years has dominated, the past few seasons have also showcased a curious case of excess. When it comes to accessories, ‘the bolder the better’ has been the bon mot of the bejewelled and [...]
