SHIPLEY AND HALMOS--FALL 2009

HALMOS (L), SHIPLEY (R)

As you readers already know, WE ARE IN LOVE WITH SAM SHIPLEY.  He's got that beachy blond surfer look we CRAVE.  He and Halmos are two of four that founded Trovata in a dorm room at college.

For these economic times, the Shipley and Halmos collection for Fall 2009 had some foundation pieces that you would want now and to reach in your closet for the next decade.

The biker jacket is a must have--you will get more than your money's worth.  

I found hints of Donna Karan, with their use of color,  and their other looks were clean-cut and bold  a la Calvin Klein.

Very Donna Karan, who has built for decades, collections of basic black with a shot of color.

Very Klein-esque...

I thought the suits were strong although I prefer my jackets to be a more fitted in the waist--not so full, which they showed.

We like a slimmer silhouette......

I thought the sweaters were perfect for evening and holiday functions--they gave it that extra umph to the boring grey v-neck cashmere choice.

I have to disagree with Tim Blanks who referred to the cardigans as  too Logan's Run and the overall collection as not having enough charm.

If you are handing over your HARD EARNED DOLLARS at the counters of Saks and Barneys,  you will definitely have some wearable pieces for years to come investing in the collection of Shipley and Holmes Fall 2009.

NY FASHION WEEK WRAP UP

Ralph Lauren closed out Fashion Week with a predictably opulent show. Anna Wintour turned up with Morley Safer in tow since 60 Minutes is filming a segment on the Vogue editrix. [NYT, WWD, FWD, Racked]

• David Lauren appeared at Ralph's show with his leg in a cast. "He just sort of stepped off an uneven sidewalk wrong," explained Lauren Bush. [NYM]

• In the end, good design won out this week, says Cathy Horyn. [NYT]

• Hamish Bowles says Marc Jacobs' and Alexander Wang's shows were "two bright spots in his week." Also: He could really use a nap. [NYO]

• Did you feel the depression this week? "Serotonin levels are down." [NYT]

• A bit of advice from Barneys' Julie Gilhart: "Bet on leggings." [NYM]

• Isaac Mizrahi and Kelly Rowland will handle the hosting duties on the new Bravo series, The Fashion Show. Fern Mallis will serve as judge. Yay. [Variety]

A CAR GODFATHER WOULD APPROVE

A car for those visits to the old country or after an expenditure at Neiman's Last Call after yanking that sweater from someone's hand....

The Mercedes-Benz armored E class vehicles after the success of the armored S-class vehicles.

The chassis has direct reinforcement installments, bulletproof polycarbonate in place of windows and windshields, and underbody protection strong enough to resist a hand grenade attack.  Although, you are on YOUR OWN with AK-47 attacks.

Is there a wait list for this one?......

FRONT ROW FIGHT

As the economy spirals downward, let's not forget the SHALLOWNESS of NYC's Fashion Week and where you are in the seating pecking order at the shows.

Below the EICS of Conde Nast Vogue franchise....... rumors circling that AnnER may be replaced by Carine....

FINALLY!! ANNA GETS IT RIGHT

Say it English zahlinks,  AnnER Wintour FINALLY gets a cover right for VOGUE.

It took over 14 issues.

It's not some former DRUNK CUNT that giggles and baby talks its way out of everything and is a TOTAL bore (Drew Barrymore)....

It's not some CLOWNFACE SNATCH (Reese Witherspoon).....

It's not some arrogant FAKE FISHSTICK SLIT (Gwyneth Paltrow)....

It's not some SELF-ENTITLED  OVERDEVELOPED HOLLYWOOD OVUM (Kate Hudson)......

AnnER put a smart, confident, and  beautiful person on the cover of March 2009 Vogue.

Michelle Obama.

Obama DOES NOT act self-entitled

Obama is NOT a DRUNK

Obama is NOT a FAKE HACKTRESS

Finally a female that finds education important (law school), knows how to get out of a car without showing cooch, and raises naturally cute(not forced), endearing children--that don't ACT SELF-ENTITLED!!!

We thinks (yes I did that verb on purpose) this ISSUE will be a BIG-SELLER and a LONG TIME FAVORITE for VOGUE!!!
