Ashley Olsen doesn’t just have a good taste in shoes…

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

She’s now dating a cycling legend and cancer activist Lance Armstrong. Too bad for Tory Burch. Imagine reading in Page Six that your ex, Lance, has “traded up” from you to a 21-year old Olsen twin? Ha ha ha. Ouch.

Keep your buttons in the buttonholes…

Monday, October 29th, 2007

…or we’ll know how much you really spent on your jackets and shirts. If you ever wonder why designer clothes cost so much this is a film for you–a fashion expert zooms right into the garment’s seams and buttonholes to discover that you get what you pay for.

(As you might imagine, we go absolutely crazy for the condescending sartorial types–the way they touch couture… oh my god)

The Power Puff

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Bold shoulders have been making women’s derrieres look thinner since the beginning of days but now the 1980’s inspired volume at the sleeve seems to be making a comeback. We’re definitely rocking them for fall.

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

If you were Pete Doherty, who would you rather marry: Kate Moss or Irina Lazareanu? Apparently the man’s still on the fence about it.

Olga for 10 Magazine

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Our model radar has detected Olga–the Karen Elsonish-looking creature with red hair, hollowed out physique and impossibly pasty white skin… and that’s fashion for you kids.

Fendi S/S 2008

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

We hear the temperatures were downright chilling up on the Great Wall of China during the Fendi Spring/Summer show yesterday… Luckily for the Tinsley Mortimers of the world the outskirts of Beijing is one of the last places in the world you can wear fur and be absolutely proud of it–the furrier the better in fact.

Marc Jacobs likes his money where he can see it…

SJP’s killin’ it

Friday, October 19th, 2007

She may have been declared The Unsexiest Woman Alive but nothing could stop this eccentric New York yenta from looking absolutely fabulous on set. Those sumptuous furs, cream ankle boots and the silver beret–that’s where the sex is!

Marc Jacobs looks hotter than his boy toy!

Monday, October 15th, 2007

How do we know? Because we just saw both of them (Marc and Jason Preston) on the corner of Prince and Greene. They seemed to have been finished shopping and on their way to the Mercer hotel. Marc’s tan and so boishly slim that he inspired us to skip dinner. Cheers.

Steve Hiett for Vogue Italia October 2007

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Steve Hiett has been rocking our visual senses ever since we first picked up a copy of Italian Vogue. At the same time Hiett is still under the radar compared to Meisels of the world–just the way we like it.

Nina Garcia goes slumming at Zara and H&M

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Look at what November Elle has brought us: a Nina Garcia essay on how to dress chic on a budget. Nina has discovered that things under $100 can look… not half bad! Accompanied by her fashionable friends the editor ventured out on a feild trip to Zara, H&M and J Crew unearthing items that were inspired by–get this–actual designers! Groundbreaking.

We realize that Nina is a magazine creature and receives gifts from designers…but has no one told her that Zara has been passing for YSL since 1999? Or that people go to Forever 21 for thirty dollar Marc-inspired sweater vests? Hola, bienvenido to the real world!

Naomi knows how to make an entrance

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

She does it in Alaia, ladies and gentlemen, head-to-toe Alaia. In related news, Ms. Campbell has signed up to star in new horror movie ‘Perfect Woman’. The film – which received $10 million worth of backing when it was showcased at the Cannes Film Festival – will see the supermodel die within the first few minutes.

That’s what WWD announced today. In case you’re wondering Kate Moss is also engaged–to someone from the Kills. It’s all so crazed and desperate we’ll pretend it isn’t happening.

Balenciaga S/S 2008: Huge Hit

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Most people will hate hate hate the flowery mini-twinsets Ghesquiere showed for Spring 08–they’re not for everyone. But we love them. The repitition of shapes in different fabrics makes such an exciting statement–we’ll be looking forward to seeing lots of these in next season’s magazines… lots and lots… Marie-Amelié Suavé, the stylist for Balenciaga, will wear them and look amazing and what’s good for Marie-Amelié is good for us.

Agyness is 24?

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

The Daily Mail (do you hate them like we hate them?) continues to unravel the new details about the life of everyone’s favorite English model scenester Agyness Dean. According to the tabloid Agyness isn’t really 21 but 24 which technically puts her in an “oldie” territory for the fashion biz. (By the industry standards all of you over 21 should just go and drown yourself right now). Old or not, late-bloomers are more fun anyway, don’t you think?
