Who’s Crazy for Genevieve Jones?

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

We so are–we want to bring her home. At a first glance Genevieve might strike you as yet another “nobody with a publicist” (age: unknown, occupation: interior decorator–sound familiar?) but if you look closer Miss Jones is working some seriously inspired style: sassy and feminine with just a hint of femme fatale, always showing off those pilates-perfect arms and legs (imagine the time and the effort that goes into those). And she’s slick enough to let her makeup take at least 10 years off her real age.

Spring 08 looks better and better

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Just when you thought sweet printed summer dresses have been worn every way possible in comes this Genoa prostitute with tattoos look. We can’t help but be inspired. Now we just have to decide how to style something like this without actually getting any tattoos. Hmmm. Evil-looking accessories for sure!

Cat Eyes: the biggest beauty fad of winter 2007

Monday, November 5th, 2007

We’ve been trying to do the perfect “rebellious eyeliner with a little 50’s twist” look a la Sasha P in the Prada ad and it just comes out amatuer on us. Pat McGrath makes it look so easy but it’s really not. It’s almost easier to just buy the stupid Prada bag she’s advertising than paint the cat eye. It’s really frustrating but we’ll keep trying.

Oldies but goodies: "Make Love Not War"

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Here’s some gorgeous photographs from Vogue Italia where Meisel’s models frolic with the armed forces (The Raquel Zimmerman mud wrestling shot is a stroke of genius or what?!?) This issue flew off the shelves here so fast we didn’t even get to properly take a look at them back in September. (Who doesn’t love a loosely veiled political message after all?) Enjoy.

Irina Lazareanu ‘too clingy’ for Pete Doherty?

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.

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.

Studded shoes

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

We know everyone thinks it’s our job to identify designer items worn by celebrities and all. But we don’t have the time to go through style.com (it’s one of those Burberry-Versace-Giles type collections). You get the general idea though: studded shoes=the hotness!

London’s bringing desheveled chic back–ruffles are everywhere. (And was it ripped jeans that we just saw on the catwalk?)

A/W 1992 Versace collection

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

What throws us is how festively plump everyone looks compared to Oksana Onopka’s of today. Helena Christensen however is absolutely divine.
