… they are just so rare

Contemplating ways to survive the winter in the season’s much-discussed pantless look? The trick here is isothermal tights (ideally paired with some Christian Loboutin ankle boots and a towncar)

You know what’s cool? Vanity Fair has revamped their website, launched a blog and posted lots of good photos. So if anyone really wanted to know for certain whose naked back that was on the George Clooney cover – it was Gemma Ward’s…

When did they start making them this repulsive?!

Grainy, poorly lit and intentionally un-retouched photography a la Juergen Teller has not only proven to sell luxury bags and shoes but has also caught on as an art form. Plus we’ve never seen Mariacarla’s arse portrayed quite so graphically.

Guess who we saw: La Belle Irina Lazareanu – running around town in a gorgeous white/purple plaid coat [Chanel?] , signature bangs and headphones.

Usually we can’t stand Californian sensibility in clothing. We like it much more pulled together.. But if you’re one of those free spirited car-driving beach-going tan girls AND you have an interesting mind we really can’t imagine you in anything but Alexander Wang. We hear he’s the hottest new thing right now…

I like this so much better than that annoying Eden editorial in W’s art issue

I’m taking the tux

Remember Miuccia’s uncanny fascination with robots? She used to clip them on Prada bags and put them in her stores. They seemed so eccentric back then. Well now the robots are hot. Again.

Nicolas Ghesquiere and Hussein Chalayan took this robot motif and made it really intense. While everyone was going crazy for Marie Antoinette, Ghesquiere had been watching The Terminator and Hussein Chalayan was being inspired by Paco Rabanne’s metal-link outfits. (Chalayan’s actual collection was rather normal and machine washable but the several clockwork orange style dresses created by the robotics firm in London made the big splash.)

The sci-fi trend was so big and gimmicky that Karl Lagerfeld was accused of not making the retro-future theme convincing enough! As if he was supposed to. Luckily there was Alber Elbaz, who made this star trek thing seem just right. Any way you look at it the verdict is still the same: we’re heading into the season of space age fashion with its man-made fabrics, robotic shoulder pads, space cadet haircuts (thank Agyness) and sci-fi goggles. Miuccia’s trinkets seem nice and harmless now, don’t they?

When ready-to-wear was for the hoi polloi and no American store could replicate Monsieur Laurent’s exceptional “Le Smoking”.

Kate Moss is like your old girlfriend. You’ve seen her every conceivable way, you’re bored to tears but you just love the comfort zone >>>>

OH HOW WE LOVE YOU, ALBER
AND YES, WE COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU, MIUCCIA

But then there were the robots and we were not convinced…

The joke’s on counterfeiters now. Louis Vuitton’s S/S 2007 collection’s latest is the Chinatown grocery tote.

You might have heard that androgyny is a happening notion right now which means that eventually you’re going to have to wear wide mannish pants and ruffled blouses. You might hate this at first because you just bought your hundred and tenth pair of skinny jeans but the faster you get used to this idea the better off you are. For full effect, apparently, you have to accessorize with cigarettes and bourlesque showgirls.

If you buy Vogue Italia for the pictures you have to get Ten for the articles. And we don’t mean it to insult any of the 10’s photographers. The articles are just that good.

Still perplexed as to why exactly did Zac Posen go to Instanbul for a party ? It cought us by surprise too. Istanbul is like San Juan with Mosques which is not all that fabulous. (As a matter of fact, San Juan’s much better…) But if we had to take a wild guess as to how Zac Posen enticed everyone to come down we’d say it’s for Dita Von Teese whose champaign glass routine totally rocks.

Her 4,000-square-foot place in Midtown has a 300-gallon saltwater fish tank with sea horses, Lalique installations in the bathroom and an LCD touch-screen remote control that reads “WELCOME TO THE ANISIMOVA RESIDENCE.” We couldn’t have made this up…

Is he OK?

Can’t get enough of Jean Harlow and Louise Brooks
