gulp.

>>  Why hello, Ms.

>>  Why hello, Ms. Wintour, so nice to see you...

Gareth Pugh was apparently double-fisting cans of Stella Artois backstage at his show when Anna Wintour approached him to introduce herself in London.  That just makes for a couple of really awkward transitional seconds, now, doesn't it?

  >>  My dear friend susie_bubble just got her hands on a pair of the Prada knee high stockings -- I have so got to get me a pair.  I thought you all might be interested in what she had to say about them since we were trying to figure out how they stay up by themselves a while back.  (They come in black and gray, £55.) They are actually tight but also very very long so you get the ruched/bunched up effect.

When I studied the Prada catwalk pics, I realised that they weren't actually all that loose on the models either but just bunched up because of the length. The size of the socks corresponds to your feet size as opposed to the size of your calves/thighs.

They feel very nice against your legs.

thank god for yohji yamamoto

>>  As far as I'm concerned, fall fashion starts here.  No show has made my heart quicken from a pitter patter to a thump thump until Yohji.  The messy long hair, the turquoise eye wash, the huuuuge hats, and the one element of the eighties we haven't seen yet, oversized jackets, all combine for an excellent study of proportions.  Bravo, Yohji!
