This Spring’s Navy trend wouldn’t be the hit that it is if it weren’t for the awesome blues shown by virtually all designers on both sides of Atlantic. Blue looks fabulous with a tan. Add some wooden jewelry and you’re cruisin’.

34. Olsen Twins
NYU Students

people.com. Ashley & MK Olsen in their rags.
Fraternal? Identical? Adorable? How about really fucking scrawny and annoying. The only thing we know for sure about the Olsen twins is that they suck—albeit legally, now that they’ve reached the age of consent. Though straight-to-DVD dreck is their bread and butter, don’t expect them to cash out by flashing their itty-bitty titties on film anytime soon. They’re still a couple more drug addictions and anorexic relapses away from being forced to munch sisterly snatch, thereby fulfilling the one-handed fantasies of 74 percent of male America and falling. So what makes these saccharine siblings so repugnant? Swaddled in designer rags, they’re insults to the city’s hobos. And contrary to the New York Times style section, they aren’t starting any trends here. Our urine-scented street people have spent years cultivating their raffish look, complete with rope belts and oversized layers of torn rags—style the Olsens are biting weakly like the pampered Chihuahuas they are. Ladies, we really want to welcome you to New York. By all means, feel free to snort our cocaine. Eat our Tasti D Lite. Screw Lolita-crazed men of dubious ethnic origin and much facial hair. Just drop the rebellious act, dress according to your bank account and for Christ’s sake, eat your veggies.

42. Lindsay Lohan

Anorexic Actress
This auburn-haired celebutante trainwreck poisons America’s gossip pages daily. Late-night sloppy barhops are followed by mysterious illnesses and insane diva tantrums. She refuses to rehearse and shuts down sets because she can’t remember her lines. The most discordant detail in this grim Muppet show is that most of this happened while she was filming a movie called Herbie: Fully Loaded. What’s her encore gonna be? Getting caught having crack smoke blown up her ass on the set of Lassie Y2K5? There’s nothing wrong with enthusiastic boozing and drugging. But news items about the Long Island party monster come off like anti-hedonism public service announcements. She has access to the best chemicals, most exotic locales and wildest people, but lives like the world’s most famous ugly sorority girl. The comparison to Tara Reid is short-sighted; Lohan has reached late-70s Liz Taylor levels of pathetic.

Those of us staying in New York over the spring break are in mourning. It’s 45 degrees. What kind of Spring is that?! But of course, that doesn’t get in the way of us looking fabulous. Here’s what starlettes are wearing in this ridiculous weather. Of all three the only one who doesn’t look entirely clueless is Cameron Diaz wearing Fall’s perfect coat: black, double breasted, and with large buttons. Underneath is what seems to look like next fall’s perfect egg-shaped skirt. Isn’t it nice to get stuff right off the runway…. Lindsey Lohan is channeling Mary Kate Olsen and Sandra Bullock is channeling Lindsey Lohan. It’s a vicious circle.

If you haven’t stocked up on bangles yet, hurry up. Just like the brooches they’ll be out of style the minute JLo puts them on.

Spring break is coming up and as a warning for all those headed to the beach take a look at exhibit A below. It’s hard to contain yourself around bikini-clad bodies but if you suddenly feel the urge …. do not do it in the public pool lounges! This is what public bathrooms are for!

I love the whatta-fuck-is-he-doing expression on Mischa Barton’s face.

In any case, stay tuned for the beachwear report…

As we’ve noticed headbands and headscarves were prominant in many collections this season. I myself wouldn’t wear the plastic pieces from Miu Miu but something like this would definitely work on many heads:

A scarf wrapped around your forehead usually brings lots of attention to your persona, so the rest of your outfit better be flawless as well:

Oh by the way, I saw Mary Kate Olsen walking down Bleecker Street right by my house today. I usually don’t gawk at celebrities but this time I had to look closely. She was wearing those same black leggings, cowboy boots and a green hoodie. On top of that she had a huge white scarf wrapped around her anorexic self and her Balenciaga bag this time was light blue. Her skin looked perfect. She’s very cute overall. What can I tell you, it really does show when you have a billion fucking dollars in the bank.

Biker gloves popularized by Karl Lagerfeld are the next season’s new accessory. I’d get myself a pair now before everyone else does.

From Chanel’s Fall ‘05 monochrome collection.

If the New York Times calls you a fashion icon it’s time to go shopping for some new duds: “As fall turned to winter and edged toward spring, Ms. Olsen, 18, pushed her version of ashcan chic to emphatic extremes, an evolution charted by glossy magazines that snoop on stars in everyday activities. The look became dottier and dottier, until it morphed into a kind of homeless masquerade, one that was accented by subtle luxuries like a cashmere muffler, a Balenciaga lariat bag …”

NYT goes on to tell us what Bobo style is: “trend, which has cropped up in moneyed communities from Beverly Hills to the Upper West Side, where young women wear grandma’s crocheted shawl, moth-eaten cashmere sweaters and scuffed cowboy boots. “It’s perfectly fine to look like a bag lady.”

Bag Lady’s publicist declined to comment.

Boots you will be looking for come September. It’s a bitch to take them off but they sure look nice. My favourites, of course, are the Dior ones (#3).

Fall’05 footwear trend: thick tower heels

“The editor in chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, was attacked by an anti-fur protester as she arrived for the Chanel autumn/winter show at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris yesterday.

A woman in her forties shoved a handful of food in Ms Wintour’s face, shouting: “That’s for all the little animals.”

As the activist vanished into the crowd, Ms Wintour, who was wearing a jacket of curly lamb, dyed pink and trimmed with chinchilla., was shielded by her 6ft 7in editor-at-large, Andre Leon Talley, who wiped off the mess, and ushered her backstage. There, she ignored the fuss and calmly chatted to Chanel’s designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Opinions varied about the nature of the food. Some witnesses said that it was paté; others were convinced that it was a custard pie.”
