Serial Partygoer
Hollowinians and friends had one splash-a-blast to celebrate Friday, cocktails and the beautiful interns, not to mention the beneficial joys of after-hours chatting. Just in case you’re wondering what it is you missed, aside from ah-mazing drinks fashioned by wonderful Elena, well, keep wondering- this is the only photographic evidence we’re showing and the rest...
Kaleidoscope
Kids, gather round, Katie Grand is here to give us all a lesson in fashion editing, styling, dressing up models or conceptualizing artistic projects, call it what you will. Being as she is, one of my fav stylists, she’s taken over the LV project and turned it into a lovely ’70s montage. Or ’30s cabaret....
The love for G. and other sins
There is something with me and preppy women- I simply adore their polished nails and the way they get slightly uncomfortable at the thought of their outfit being inappropriate for the occasion. I’m fascinated by the way Gwyneth can have long legs, gorgeous skin, wavy hair and can make dough wearing that Hermes cuff. Makes the dough looks so much classier....
I’m the Brancusi sculpture, just a slab of metal on a hunk of wood.
There’s so much to be said about Rick Owens and his over-priced jerseys and pelts that make me, without fail, lust all over the pieces of his collections, spring-summer after fall-winter. Michelle Lamy is the exotic addition to his entourage- she is unique, almost to the point of symbol, and a part of what Owens...
The Girl who would be Queen
Ladies and Gents well within the drinking age, let’s talk about girls posing as women. As Carine said, her more than usually controversial last French Vogue, the one edited with the help of god-like fashion designer Tom Ford, included some rouchy images. Aside from this fetishistic geriatric fashion spread (absolutely gorgeous), the issue also included...
The Last Goodbye
Some things are worth waiting for, and The Kills has always been something one should expect great things from. The Last Goodbye was released about a year ago, and the video for it debuted on Nowness but a few hours ago. Directed by their friend Samantha Morton, who you’ve met as an actress in Elizabeth...
What to Wear to Christmas Parties and Alienate People
Just in case you’ve grown tired of the mandatory sparkly dress this holiday season, the good people at S Moda (Spaniards do it best) give us a lesson in do’s. I say ‘finally, something for the office party!’
The Model as Homo-Excellens
Helmut Newton and the models of the 80s reflected the infatuation with fitness and instilled the ideal woman as having broad shoulders and muscular legs. Looking at a quick, digestible collection of Helmut Newtons best, I’m a bit in awe of how fierce these women looked. They were muscular, self-assured and above all, women, not...
I am woman, watch me fluster
Let me just state here and now, for all eternity to bear witness: there are a few things that cramp my style: ‘urban jungle’ designer collections, ‘fun and flirty’ dresses and ‘cute and quirky’ girls. The first one is just a relic of the ’80s, when urbanites were the epitome of coolness, broad shoulders were...
The world was born in October
There’s a strange feeling the lingers after you get the news that there are 7 billion people in the world. I can clearly remember the day when they showed on the news what was believed to be baby no. 6 billion, it was October 12th, 1999, and 11 years later we’re adding one billion to...
Geppetto
Remember 2 months ago, when it was still scorching hot, but Tim Walker‘s editorial for W featuring a post-apocalyptic biomorphic Tilda Swinton gave us the chills? The man’s got some ass-kicking game. Here’s his latest, for the good folks who are so loafer inclined.
The soul travels with the speed of the camel.
Only after the dust of Tuileries wore off my shoes, that the lessons Paris taught this fall started to make themselves heard. There is a lot to be said about the delicacy at Vuitton, the out of worldliness at Chanel and spectacular consistency of Rick Owens. But two collections spoke to me more about the...
