TARANTINO 'INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS' SOUNDTRACK STREET STYLE AD
Last night there was a premier of Tarantino’s new film ‘Inglourious Basterds’ in NYC. In case you’re wondering, the title is misspelled on purpose and we have the picture of the soundtrack street ad to prove it (snapped it yesterday on the corner of Houston & Broadway, next to Crate & Barrel). The movie’s starring Brad Pitt (who’d allegedly running for a mayor of New Orleans) and we can’t wait for it to open because a) we heart a Tarantino style bloodfest, b) the hype sounds convincing

Besides, the 1940’s World War II style has always been our favorite. German label Hugo Boss permanently claimed their name to gestapo uniforms while American fighter pilots wore A2 flight jackets made by Eastman Leather Clothing. While going through some fashion catalogues, we’ve discovered historypreservation.com, which sells authentic army clothing from 1941. You might want to check it out and tell the boys.

“The September Issue” Coming August 28!

Monday, August 17th, 2009

The much talked about Vogue documentary is coming out next week and the reviews have been scathing! The Post went as far as to call Anna Nero and point out her “daddy issues” . Meow

This peek inside the star chamber is juicy viewing on a number of levels. It’s a psychological portrait of Anna, powerful female executive, mother, daughter, perfectionist. It’s a front-row seat at how the albeit-impeccably-turned-out-but-sausage-nonetheless gets made at Vogue


Stay tuned for the Letterman interview coming up this week as well.
