Eins Zwei Drei! Anja Rubik takes Vogue Germany

2008-06-22T18:10:00.006-04:00

Love this one... The girl's easy on the eyes and the hair's kinda cool (no offense Agyness)

Margiela Gift Bow Ring

2008-06-21T00:31:00.005-04:00

It's not too much to ask, is it?

For the lovers of pugs and Linda Evangelista

2008-06-06T20:08:00.003-04:00

Let's name the pugs!! I propose: Agyness, Lily and Coco.

Robert Duffy speaks - Kate Moss nods

2008-06-05T19:46:00.010-04:00

Yes, it is in fact Kate and Duffy. Oblivious to the world, they chat away near the Marc Jacobs shop on Mercer Street today. Kate looks super pretty and fresh. Do we have a campaign in the works maybe? Intriguing!

Andre Leon's turban upstages CFDA Awards

Wow, the Council of Fashion Designers of America threw a good party on Monday... Who knew they had it in them?! Tom Ford practically made us cry, Fran Lebowitz was a blast, even Victoria Beckham looked exceptionally surreal that night.

We loved everyone except Anna Wintour who implied something about Internet being for geeks. But, we forgive her, ya know, it's tough getting old.

Oh Prada, what you do to me....

2008-05-30T16:49:00.004-04:00

Looks like we're finally going to feel some of that buzzed about economy crisis, kids. Yes, Prada went on sale... Hello credit card debt!

Osklen from Brazil

2008-05-08T23:45:00.005-04:00

Now there's a look you can't carry on the subway...and I like it that way! I might have to shlep around Bowery in this and pretend I'm in Ipanema or something.

yes Yes YES!

2008-05-06T23:04:00.005-04:00

You've outdone everyone last night, doll-face. That red carpet however looks absolutely foul and needs an update ASAP.

Sold!

2008-04-08T22:15:00.008-04:00

You know that moment after you stare at the same ad in the magazine about ten thousand times you just realize you need the thing... last season my personal favorites were the Prada ads. This summer it's the YSL.

Can't even imagine wearing anything but greys, blues and metallics right now -- un point c’est tout!

Betsy, have you no shame?

2008-04-08T13:27:00.011-04:00

Omg. I think I just found my new weekender to haul bikini and flip flops to the Hamptons this summer... It's not exactly like the Prada fairy print bag we've been obsessing about but you have to be quite a fairy to carry it through Port Authority with a straight face, don't you think??

Now are you sure you want to eat that?

2008-04-01T23:11:00.006-04:00

We're trying out this new amazing diet right now...Works WONDERS.... Every time you get a little hungry just look at the Sasha Pivovarova pictures from *French Vogue. Still hungry?

It's sick!

2008-03-27T19:51:00.004-04:00

I've never been a bag hag, but I'd do a lot for this fairy one ...

Finally. A political wife you can look up to

2008-03-26T20:04:00.009-04:00

Something tells us this marriage is going to last...

Mme Sarkozy in the nude. Give a gallic shrug!

Marc Jacobs has a new boyfriend?

2008-03-26T12:27:00.004-04:00

Marc? You fox!

Natalia Vodianova guest-edits Russian Vogue

2008-03-20T17:29:00.006-04:00

We just saw the copy of March 2008 Russian Vogue and it's all about Natalia Vodianova. Photographed by everyone including Steven Meisel and Mario Testino, the lovely Mrs Portman appears to be hotter than ever... are you as thrilled as the Russians?

Chivalry not yet dead

2008-03-15T22:45:00.019-04:00

Playboy France puts Lou Doillon on the cover and all of a sudden looks like Purple magazine ... are they trying to reignite my faith in humanity or something....?

Carine, Having Prada S/S 08 Moment

2008-03-09T20:09:00.003-04:00

You wonna be her....

It's spring break in America!

2008-03-04T15:32:00.030-05:00

Ahh yes, it's that time of the year again. After months of hibernating here in New York nothing is more inspiring than a vacation some place warm. Think Amy Winehouse goes to Ibiza. You will need:
Plastic YSL flip flops with ties, Forever 21 stretchy bead bracelets (you can drown them in the pool and not care)

The simplest string bikini possible (a reward for all the hours spent at the gym and all the desserts that have been skipped)

Missoni woven fedora and Rayban aviators

A cotton string Ecobag and some tattoos (although we're too clean-cut to even contemplate real ones)

+ light blue jean cut-offs a la Amy, bronzer, sunscreen and you're done!

Do I see the "pursing of the lips"....?

2008-03-02T23:55:00.017-05:00

Ohhh if looks could kill that knocked-up Hollywood bimbo would be dead dead dead.
Jessica Who? The most arresting woman in fashion is the one and only Anna Piaggi!

French girls in plaid

2008-03-02T22:51:00.011-05:00

The shirts are from Berangere Claire whose website unequivocally states they are American Redneck style. (That's so not PC we love her already!)

Wall Street Journal stirs up the "Skinny Debate"

2008-02-28T19:46:00.036-05:00

Looks like everyone has seen the article in WSJ about the good ol' "skinny debate" by now. This time le scandale has surrounded the 17-year old Teen Vogue sensation Ali Michael who "got fat" (gained 5 pounds) and as a result was disqualified from walking the Paris shows by some cruel French fashion designers.

Ali: Before and After
Ali is on her way back to Texas right now but don't be upset, Ali, you really don't look any "fatter" than this nice lady shot by S. Meisel for Italian Vogue!

Meredith Melling Burke Speaks!

Sell sell sell Honey.

Miuccia graces Myspace?

2008-02-27T16:43:00.022-05:00

Faran from Nylon Magazine brings to our attention that Miuccia Prada now has her own personal Myspace page. First reaction: the Italian Godmother of all fashion fooling around on online networking sites? Is this for real?! And yet it's possible -- especially now after a Suzy Menkes expose ran in the International Herald Tribune on how fashion designers have zero Internet skills. Apparently everyone's favorite Alber Elbaz and Nicolas Ghesquière don't know how to use Internet and are proud of it.

It's not unusual for people who are talented in one area to be completely backwards in other areas but, damn, don't admit it. Anyway, as a matter of damage control all famous fashion designers should be getting on Facebook right now and naming bags after fashion's #1 Internet fairy Bryan Boy. Marc Jacobs did it the other week... it's true.

Balenciaga A/W 2008

2008-02-27T13:52:00.005-05:00

Wow what a strange feeling - waking up to a sight of pointy-toe shoes... it's like 1990's all over again!

we still have a load of these somewhere in the back of the closet..
