Karolina Kourkova for Grey

2011-02-21T16:37:00.005-05:00

J'adore. Especially since she doesn't have a load of tanning lotion and glitter. It's nice when the VS girls go back to high fashion.

It's been a while...

2011-02-21T16:37:00.002-05:00

I'm gonna try to post more, since it's collections month, and since people look at this thang. :)

Kate Moss for Bryan Ferry

2010-10-27T10:49:00.002-04:00

Kate graces the cover of the new Bryan Ferry album. I think the cover is chic, but it kind of gives me a headache. Kudos to Ferry for getting Moss to cover his record.

I think I prefer him in Margiela.

It's a little 'Rocky Horror' for me, but I like the provocative James Franco. He is officially bucking the mainstream. We like.

Kate Moss by Mario Testino

2010-08-02T10:52:00.002-04:00

This book is sure to be a collectors item. The 20+ year relationship between the two means we are in for quite the fashion education.

Amazing

Valentino Haute Couture Fall 2010

2010-07-08T01:33:00.002-04:00

I liked a lot of the show, but I kept wanting there to be a skirt with the super-short looks. The dresses looked like genius blouses. The Lolita silhouette betrayed the fact that women who buy couture are not 12. I thought the fashion world had figured this out after the Spring collection at Celine. While the clothes were beautiful, and will look quite wonderful in the October glossies; they looked out of place next to the powerful, womanly offerings by the rest of the Paris couture houses this season.

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall 2010

2010-07-07T11:40:00.004-04:00

Jean Paul Gaultier has cemented the fact that couture is not dead. This week has been filled with really good shows. Even if I didn't love Givenchy, the technicality of the show was impressive. This week maybe proved that the art of haute couture is not dead, and that it's niche is needed in the era of fast fashion.

To quickly review Gaultier: beautiful Blade Runner-style silhouettes in often neutral colors are treated with witty details on the body and pops of color. The inclusion of Dita Von Teese, a house muse, is always welcome. We were nourished at the end of the show.

Chanel Haute Couture Fall 2010

2010-07-06T23:46:00.005-04:00

Loved the collection, and I liked that there was nothing that hit the floor. Karl Lagerfeld said that he felt that long dresses didn't feel modern, and I totally agree. I think that was what was wrong with the Armani show. The day clothes and cocktail clothes were great, and the long evening clothes felt old. Like a bad prom. Lagerfeld manages, yet again, to set the trends. The rest of us graciously follow.

Armani Prive Fall 2010

2010-07-06T06:35:00.003-04:00

This beige collection was chock full of great day clothes, and awful clothes for evening save for 3 dresses. I don't think this collection should have explored red carpet territory. It would have been lovely without the aspiration. I thought every girl was meant to be Lauren Hutton, which would have usually been great, but by the end felt repetitive.

Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2010

2010-07-05T12:00:00.004-04:00

Well, there was loads of color, and the models looked like Dr. Suess characters. Jessica Stam looked especially like Cindy-Lou Who. I adored the Nick Knight reference in the color, and hope that color is a trend for the couture, but I just didn't love the tulle parade. I wish I could have seen more work on display. I guess Galliano put too much effort into the menswear, which was a brilliant show.

Balenciaga Fall 2010

2010-03-07T05:34:00.005-05:00

I have not been posting on the collections, because South African internet is slow, and I am also not wowed by things this season. Outside of the usual suspects, Prada, Marc Jacobs, and Jil Sander, I have been unimpressed with the Fall 2010 lineup. Until Balenciaga. The text printing, the shapes, and the lace were brilliantly used, and while some reviews questioned the wearability of the clothes, I did not think they seemed unwearable. Maybe it's the Celine effect? Everybody wants to have clothes that are wearable, and they don't want to look outside that vision until the eye has readjusted. By then fashion has changed.

The Ubiquitous Lara Stone

2010-02-22T09:22:00.003-05:00

The biggest model since Gisele Bunchen is storming covers left and right. Without a doubt, she is the most in-demand, and maybe because she isn't trying to be on the scene. She and Karlie Kloss dominate the spectrum of modelling, and we can't get enough of either.

Here is the awesome interview with Marc Jacobs in the March 2010 issue of Interview Magazine:
