If you ever wondered whether it’s humanly possible to walk in these platformed boots without straining your ankles this Miu Miu movie answers your question. And while you wait for the model to trip watch Andre Leon’s front row routine as he prepares to escape at the end of the show. Made us miss the fashion week…

Is it us or the Fall campaigns are generally better quality than the Spring ads? Burberry’s new Kate Moss/Stella Tennant blitz looks so much more upscale than the 70’s colored Gemma Ward againts the Union Jack spread from Spring’06. What’s more suprising is that their collection has improved too.

Is now playing on dolcegabbana.it Their fall campaign already has too much drama. Did Annie Leibovitz have something to do with it?

This gingham Dolce dress (that is now readily available in the blatant knock off section of Forever 21) looks really cute with the oh-so-trendy pasty skin. But the red Lanvin belt is where it’s at. For more Numero ed go to F.A.D. Myspace >>>

Who knew one piece bathing suits and leather stirrups are such a staple . The good thing is only Snejana can wear that combo.

Did we tell you that the Sartorialist is going to Milan to work his Canon at the mens shows next week? And you know what to expect from this scenario – all those impeccably dressed and groomed Italian men! You don’t want to miss that. >>> Say hello to Senior Dolce and Senior Gabbana from us, Sart.

Gemma Ward’s elder sister has a completely different nose than Gemma. I smell a nose job.

F.A.D. Myspace has been adding some really beautiful friends these last few days. Now we know why parents everywhere are so concerned.

The champion of a disposable camera Juergen Teller outdoes himself in the F/W Marc Jacobs ads: everything about them is so bad it’s awesome. Way to apologize for being overhyped and hype it up even more.

Macy’s is going to replace Banana Republic as the sponsor of Project Runway Season Three. Apparently H&M also considered the partnership but at the moment they are too busy expanding on the West Coast. So, to sum it up, we have Macy’s, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn. Two out of five isn’t bad. And maybe it’ll help Macy’s repair its soiled rep.

I was losing sleep here trying to put my finger on what’s so unsettling about Hilary Rhoda. Now I know. She reminds me of my childhood. This cover looks just like the Otto catalogue from the early 90’s. Meisel is really trying to bring you back there, isn’t he?

Did I tell you that F.A.D. myspace needs new friends?

As a person who most frequently responds to visual stimulation I often find myself living by Steven Meisel’s photoshoots. Inane, I know. So in 2004 I went this color bronze. I looked like a smoldering Brazilian, right off the beach. It was mystic tan, of course. Nobody in their right mind would get this fried for real. But right now, I can’t get enough of this vision – an albino corpse in complicated whites. It remains to be seen whether anyone has been able to successfully pull this off without all the retouching. You decide:

You know how some people just look tacky in everything? That is certainly the case with Lindsey Lohan. See it for yourself in July issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

$150 Marc Jacobs handbag extravaganza has begun. I think I was the only one who walked out of the store without one. Bargain hunting is so middle class.

We’ve been meaning to ask you this long time ago, people.

If the barely dressed nubile schoolgirls on American Apparel billboards weren’t enough now you definitely won’t be able to get those running shorts out of your mind. Steven Meisel turns to Jane Fonda’s workout videos for inspiration in his new editorial for Vogue Italia. Raquel Zimmerman has never looked so good.

We are incensed. The man makes sheer chiffon skirts for fall and gets away with it. It seems all you have to do to score the CFDA award is to remake last year’s floaty dress trend in shades of white and the award is yours. Kind of like what Banana Republic does… On the upside, Costa does try to make flattering clothes. And Marc Jacobs? Well, he knows how to make a decent quilt bag.

Art Gallery Dame: (appearing out of nowhere) I can tell you’re in faaashion… It’s your chain… (meaningful pause) We know the difference between a chain and a CHAIN…
Fashion Addict: (determined not to give out the store location) Thanks.
Art Gallery Dame: Are you familiar with Steven Klein?
Fashion Addict: Yes, I’m a big fan. I love the horses …
Art Gallery Dame: They ARE works of art. Much better in print…
Fashion Addict: They are … (reflectively stares at the photographs)

Art Gallery Dame: So, what do you do?
Fashion Addict: Umm… I’d rather not talk about it… (lowers the tone) I’m very superstitious (makes big eyes)
Art Gallery Dame: Ohh I understand. Best of luck to you, my dear.
Fashion Addict: Thanks… (Quick exit)

Summer TV is shaping up to be quite a bitch fest. We have Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, Project Runway, and The Hills – a reality tv show documenting the adventures of a Teen Vogue intern. The show has a bouncy hip hop soundtrack to ensure the ultimately suburban feel… That and the really cheap highlights of the protagonists.

It’s from the queen of Tokyo catwalks – Tsumori Chisato
