OK So where is fashion headed?

But the most interesting explanation for fashion’s newest obsession suggests that the industry’s conflicted feeling toward curves has reached its extreme, if inevitable, conclusion. Simply put, skinnier people are easier to dress. Little-girl muses, with little-girl bodies, spare designers the inconvenience. Gone is the need to justify the lack of womanly curves on the human mannequins chosen to showcase designs; the clothes themselves, meanwhile, get a break from the hassles of boobs and hips. Prepubescent-looking models being replaced by actual prepubescents: It’s genius, really.

Fashion Artistry

Daniel Merriam is showing at the Animazing Gallery in Soho. If you go to Animazing.com you will see a fanciful...imaginative body of work that could be on a Dior runway! Just sayin Bernard!!

Now we're talkin!!

You might just say that I too am prejudiced and I would not be offended. You wouldn't find me in a bar ranting about the following but beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

                       WINNER!!

A Hallelujah SHOUTOUT!!!

BRILLIANT! Amazing runway finale with not a designer but the entire staff of the Atelier that makes it happen! Makes me wish 7th Ave. had thought of it first. But...not happening while we are celebrating the persona of fashion designers! 

AND...YOU Thought I had too much time on MY hands!!

For My Fashion Forward Male Followers

Well Boys & Girls I had never heard of the the fashion description "MANTIES" until I happened upon a story about Lorenzo Martone the former esposa of Marc Jacobs! This hottie is pictured wearing "MANTIES" and you'll be able to figure that out! Not only that, he's wearing Uggs...which I guess would be Muggs with a fur jacket and a snatch snowboard on his shoulder! Nice way to start the weekend!

Depression and the Fashion Business

                         I am not surprised that Fashion Designers get depressed.

Balmain’s Christophe Decarnin Reportedly Hospitalized for Depression

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I subscribe to a ton of Trendsites and today I learned 7 ways to wear a belt. The problem being that I don't have much of a waist DEPRESSING Also... Maybe Christophe looked at pix of Galliano's show and thought "what am I doing wrong!! DEPRESSING

 

And then I look at the much published looks from Prada's show....

From the Left we have "Chock a Block...Rango...Lowrider

 

 

  Now I'm DEPRESSED...what about you my dear 3 followers???

Just Ramblin...

Today is a DOWN day! My IMAC won't load, Apple hotline has been busy for 45 minutes. The IPad 2 has been introduced and I haven't learned my 1 yet!! John Galliano is off to rehab, Charlie sheen had more watchers than the Oscars and I still don't understand the magic of Prada on the runway, I want to runaway! 


Hopefully tomorrow I'll have pix and pithy remarks abut the London and Milan collections. I have to play catchup baseball so I can get straight to the Galliano show on Friday. I am excited to see the new venue. Will Dior be shown at the rehab facility? Will Charlie be in the front row? In the meanwhile I'm off to astrologyzone.com to see what this month will bring.

The FASHION & FILM DUSTUP!

OK...This could be really exciting...Tonight is the Sheen rant on 20/20 and will fashion flopinista John Galliano be given equal time? Does John really look like an anti semite? Only in the world of fashion would this weird man be revered while in Hollywood Charlie Sheen says "the only drug I'm on is the Charlie Sheen drug"! Will Dior capitulate...will Chuck Lorre

Chaim Levine

capitulate???Forget Libya...this is Fashion...this is Film...this is the heartland of America. Well, maybe not Galliano he's not at Target yet!
OK...let's see how this plays out in the meantime go to the Huffington Post to read Meredith Finemans take on the duo.


As to my Oscar best and badly dressed list...there was an outcry..well 1 of my 3 followers vehemently disagreed re: Scarlet's stretch lace snooze. I stand by my observation!


OH NO!!!! Just over the wires...Christine Aguiliera arrested for a DUI...SCANDULOUS!

The 83rd ACADEMY AWARDS or...128 HOURS!

HILARY SOO SWANKY!

OH...MANDY

WRAPUP!!

As Blog commenter Stu Fine said "You know your'e in trouble when the In Memoriam 

segment is the most interesting". God Bless Anne...she tried  hard to keep it going. Even Franco in wearing Drag couldn't give him a personality. The schizophrenic set added the ever tacky flavor. The Super Bowl of Hollywood Style set a new low. Bring back Whoopie...Billy...Hugh..Kirk...Jack Palance and let the Stars pick their own!! Totally tired of the oh so proper party pooper stylists!

The REALLY RED Carpet

The REALLY RED Carpet

Now I'm just wondering why at the QVC party Helena's on a REALLY red carpet and the  Kardashian's is more maroon. How do you think she feels being spliced in with the not so spicy duo? Also why is QVC giving a party??? Is Helena going to hawk her vintage Vivian Westwoods? Hmmm let's imagine a QVC swag bag. A Prepology spice Dome w. 16 Spices...Suze Orman's Financial System...8 Kansas City Steaks...Dennis Basso Microfiber Jacket w. Leopard Lining and an Isaac Mizrahi Bling Boyfriend Bracelet (40$ value)...in I imagine a recycled tote, touting Quality-Value and Convenience. Makes me want to party crash. See you later with the Red Carpet Roundup!

Countdown to Fabulousness!

Counting down...here on the West Coast the Red Carpet shenanigans Start at 2:00 with the Really Big Shooooooow (thanks Ed) at 5:00. This is the Super Bowl of Starlets...the Starlet Smackdown! Do we have such a thing today??? Would Hailee be a Starlet or is she toooo old? Who will she be wearing...McQueen...Fachinetti...Oscar or Forever 21? Will she have a stylist or just Mom? My head is twirling with all the possibilities. Anybody out there in TV Land oops.Blog Land care to comment...tomorrow I'll do a wrapup with pictures if I can figure out how to do that.

Where is CHER when we need her?

Where is Sally Kirkland...where is Cher...where is Barbra...where are the good old badly dressed gals that we loved to make fun of? Would Michelle Pfeiffer's half &half white bridal satin tuxedoed one sleeved ballgown be a fashion fumble today? With a chimney sweep tophat almost could be John or Lee! I'm expecting Vivian Westwood to pull out all the stops with Helena Bonham Carter. Will she be the new Bjork? And I'm lusting for bicycle shorts sans skirt perhaps on Khloe K with a top cut to there and sky high hooker heels...clear vinyl platforms please! Is Hollywood the new and improved Project Red Carpet? Perhaps the more pertinent question would be not "who are you wearing" but "WTF are you wearing? " Let's keep hoping that someone will trip...fall...have a meltdown or malfunction so we can laugh our heads off and be glad we're not there...or are we??? Stay tuned the flopinista report coming your way on Sunday! SEE...if Lindsay had only said she was testing it for the Academy Awards and given the jeweler credit...her problems would have disappeared of course along with the necklace! I'm off to pop popcorn for 40 see ya sunday
