Gift of the Day: Alexander Wang Pelican Clutch in Deer
One of my fave things of the season…. Deer handbags. Now I know what your thinking… “Bambi?!” But the deer hides sold for fur are super PC. No farming or cruel intentions whatsoever. I love this Alexander Wang clutch and it’s on sale! Wahoo! BUY HERE!
Alex Wang for Balenciaga
So his name has been in the running for the Balenciaga house since Nicholas Ghesquire threw in the towel last month, and now it seems that Alexander Wang will in fact be going to Balenciaga. According to Cathy Horyn’s blog on New Times’ website, Wang’s appointment could be announced as early as next week. Out...
Heaven on Earth: Rei Kawakubo for Hermes
My favorite designer, Rei Kawakubo of Comme Des Garcons, is teaming up with one of my favorite fashion houses, Hermes, to bring us a collection of silk scarves next year. OMG!!! I am like super freaking out. I am calling my local Hermes sales lady to put me on the list for a couple of...
XRAY Specs: Miu Miu Optical Glasses
I still wear glasses so I am always on the look out for killer frames. Currently I am rocking a pair of Tom Ford Bachardy sunnies I had converted into optical, and I am also collecting vintage B&L Wayfarers circa 1965. But these Miu Miu numbers are my latest obsession. They look a lot like...
Shoe of the Day: Celine Red Furry Sandal
Fur Sandal for Spring? Yep, the ever confusing trend of fur (specifically mink) for spring summer collections threw me for a loop this past season. But hey, I love fur anytime of the year. Especially on my foot with a flat sandal. A little lesbo? Yeah, but super cool and super comfortable. I am obsessed....
Jewels of the Day: Gold Knuckle Duster Rings by Balenciaga
DOPE-NESS in rings. And good for a fist fight on the dance floor. Thank You Nicholas Ghesquire for bringing brilliance to your last collection for the house Balenciaga. Now let’s these babies go into production.
Shoe Of The Day: Lanvin Holographic Pumps
Obsessed with hologram, always obsessed with pumps. This little gem is a shoe wardrobe must have for SS13.
“Very Parisian, but in a fake way, in a wrong way!” at Miu Miu Spring 2013 RTW
Mrs. Prada always wraps up the show season with her Miu Miu collection in Paris. With all of the Sixties and Geisha and all of the other heavy referencing, Miuccia took us back to what she does best, lady with a mega twist. This time the Miu Miu Lady/GURL is from the Fifties & Sixties...
“Let’s Have A Grid” at Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 RTW
Closing the season, as he opened it, Marc Jacobs brings us once again to the world of Sixties minimalism/maximalism this time through checkerboard goggles for Louis Vuitton SS13. The deranged twins he sent down the escalators to the runway reminded me of Diane Arbus and the twins from Kubrick’s The Shining. Perfectly creepy. The perfectly...
“Pure & Light” at Givenchy Spring 2013 RTW
Every now and again, a designer has a palette cleansing show. This season there have been several, in fact every relevant show this season has relied on a good clean collection of desirable clothes. Riccardo Tisci’s SS13 outing for Givenchy was no different. Tisci, Ghesquire and Philo are very much on the same tip this...
“Togetherness, Beauty, Friendship, and a Journey” at Celine Spring 2013 RTW
Quotes from Phoebe Philo: “togetherness, beauty, friendship, and a journey.” That sounds awful warm and fuzzy for a woman who is known for sharp lines and the current women’s power dressing. But hey, she just had a baby, so it’s normal that a betty gets a little soft after pregnancy. Regardless of soft or...
