RUNWAY RAGGED


STAID AND TIRED:

Magazine editors with bored looks at the designer's shows, ohh they are going to show you the fucking door, bitches.

The fashion runway will be a thing of the past.

Fashion houses are tired of the expensive productions for only fashion editors and buyers.

The designers want a bigger audience. They want us. The consumers.

The answer:

The internet

The internet

The internet

Designers are going to be broadcasting their fashion collections online from their showrooms. So smart.

Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton (via Facebook) have already had huge success live-streaming.

Ralph Lauren plans to follow in these footsteps with his Rugby line going live on December 11th. Next spring, the Lauren (blue label) line will live-stream. No doubt the brainchild of David Lauren who has helped push his dad's company to the information age. The Polo website is a world onto itself. Polo TV, an internet magazine and vintage items like estate jewelry are just some of the treasures on the website. David is clearly thinking ahead and vaulting the company forward to the 22nd century.

All that front row fighting for the best seat, looking bored as the models saunter down the walk, and texting while the show is happening will be so last year. Better catch up AnnER-- times are achangin!! How is VOGUE adapting their editorial needs to this news? What are you doing to push the mag to the 22nd century? We have lots of ideas..... call us.










Polo Ralph Lauren, past seasons

CHRIS CROSS





Burberry's Creative Director Christopher Bailey received his Member of the Order of the British Empire medal bestowed upon him by the Queen of England.

The 38-year-old relished the occasion in full black tie regalia. We love men in waistcoats with their tuxes.

Hell we just love men.

Especially hot ones that are OUT and British....

NICE SPREAD

I WANT (EYE) CANDY:





Lenser Ryan McGinley, who this blog loves, shot that "Pioneer" Levi's campaign.

One of his next gigs is clicking some Winter Olympians in Rodarte's clothes.

We're not sure if this is for a mag or his own use.

RyRy quips: “I've been in Utah. I've been shooting for the Winter Olympics, and I got Rodarte to make me the outfits. It looks crazy!”




[Hint]






He is OUT!!

And he is single!!

Now you see why we're so crazy for him...

HOLLYWOOD FASHION








It's been a while since that memorable Chanel campaign with Nicole Kidman directed by Baz Luhrmann in 2005.

It looks like Chanel has stars in its eyes again.

Martin Scorsese may be the next fashion directive project the fashion house wants.

This news is on the heels of Dior tapping director David Lynch for a short film.  So Chanel may be feeling an itch not be one upped.

As far as casting goes, how would Robert De Niro, one of Scorsese faves, look as iconic Kaiser Karl?!!

THE BOIS LOVE THEIR PRODUCT








Are you in a rural area of the US that your JC Penney has no in-house Sephora?

Good news.

Sephora is placing twenty vending machines in smaller JC Penney units around the country.

Stocked items will be the big sellers from Sephora, look for items from brands like Smashbox and Philosophy.

The machines will take credit and debit cards.

So no excuse for unruly locks or missing out on a vanilla body scrub.

BARNEY'S BROOKLYN MEMOIRS









WORD UP:

Barney's may be considering an outpost in Brooklyn.

The recession has hurt retailers hard last year; but this year, finances are completely a different story.  High-end retailers are reportedly seeing black.

The possible brick and mortar entity will be one of its CO-OP emporiums.

Remember these crazes of the '00's?

Trucker hats.  Which we love on hot surfer dudes at the beach.  So cute.  Trucker hats are a uniform in LA.  It was never a trend.

Snatch in those tacky Juicy sweats with the stupid words on their slitty ass with Ugg boots.  Retch!!

The logo bag.

Crocs.

Marc Jacobs looking great in skirts.

New York magazine has compiled at least 70 images of  short-lived looks of the millennium.

THIS PARTY IS A DRAG


We love Alexander McQueen, England's bad boy designer.

So kudos to Daphne Guinness for donning his new Spring wares. Those shoes are fierce.

We can't wait to get our hands on a pair. You will see us at Laguna Beach teetering in our heels on the sand as we cheer on our surfer boyfriends--- yet, maintaining a whole butch air about ourselves at the same time!

Our favorite man-to-woman Amanda Lepore channels Marilyn Monroe.

The fete was for Francois Nars new book NARS 15x15, which we posted about earlier.

MAD ABOUT BROOKS BROTHERS


THE CAMELOT ERA:


T

Images by Patrick McMullan


The two seem a perfect match: Mad Men and Brooks Brothers.

The Madison Avenue local held a fete for its Mad Men-label suit.

Vignettes were created throughout the store with mint-green typewriters and models swigging gin out of tumblers looking bespoke and dashing in a 1960-inspired crisp suit.

Mad Men's costume designer Janie Bryant observing how Brooks Brothers took the Sterling Cooper set and ran with it.

Others on hand to lend to the surrealism of being in the Sterling Cooper interiors: Bryan Batt, Rich Sommer, Vincent Kartheiser and Michael Gladis.

Customers were able to purchase the Mad Men-label suit right on the spot. The suit is a two-button jacket with an attenuated cut-- the style looks straight off the back of President Kennedy circa 1960.

MUST HELP TV




Joan Collins, yes that one of glamour and puss, is coming to all you schlubs and dispensing help and advice to the commoners.

On ITV, we'll get to hear Joan Collins pontificate on this and that-- you know, important matters.

Like fashion **holds lace fabric to face, makeup stains said fabric**

Like making an entrance in a courtroom: don black and white power suit!!

KRAZY TALK FROM UNKLE KARL






UK's The Independent pens this story with Kuotes from Kaiser Karl:


"No one wants to see curvy women," Lagerfeld was quoted as saying on the website of news magazine Focus.

"You've got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly," he added.

The world of fashion is about "dreams and illusions", he said, dismissing as "absurd" the debate prompted by Brigitte magazine which said it would no longer feature professional models on its pages.
