Posts for August 2007

that leopard is serious. August 21, 2007 9:15 pm >> I think that's all I can say at this point about Natasha Poly on the Vogue Paris September 2007 cover, shot by Patrick Demarchelier.
uh oh, irina August 21, 2007 3:27 pm >> If The Sun is to be believed, Irina Lazareanu was arrested yesterday along with longtime friend Pete Doherty...
on my summer reading list August 20, 2007 1:13 am >> I picked it up at the bookstore on Friday (it was just released Wednesday), but I doubt this is the last time you'll hear me talk about it.  Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Luster is Newsweek reporter Dana Thomas' new tract on, well, the corporatization of the luxury business.  Sound a little dry to you?  Don't go away just yet.  This book has gotten a lot of buzz, including excerpts published at Gawker.com, face time at Style.com and in various fashion magazines, and most recently, it was featured in the NY Times Sunday Business section.
coco? audrey? coco/audrey? August 16, 2007 6:22 pm >> I meant to mention before when I was talking about this editorial: this photo of Coco totally reminds me of Audrey's picture with the balloons in Funny Face.  (I couldn't find the exact Funny Face pic, but if you watch this clip you'll see what I mean.)

  • The Vogue documentary will be out next year...
  • Christian Louboutin does flips for other things besides shoes (har har)
  • Why Jovovich-Hawk hasn't shown up in the NY Fashion Week lineup
  • A little tidbit from Alek Wek's new autobiography
  • Wouldn't you know: Vogue coined the term "brassiere"
have a kao, why doncha? August 16, 2007 2:28 am >>  Meet Jen Kao, who had me ever since I saw this dress on her website.  The Parsons grad only has one collection under her belt (Fall 2007), but already she has big plans (sounds like my kind of girl).  For her first presentation at the upcoming NY fashion week, Jen collaborated with photographer Ryan McGinley (the man of smoky Kate Moss picture fame) and stylist Kate Young for a backdrop display of Darla Baker photos, all shot at a sleepaway camp in New York.  I can't say I'm not more intrigued than I already was... 
i have to give it to 'em August 16, 2007 1:44 am >> If Vogue does one good issue of beautiful editorials a year, it's always the September issue.  Daria gets a Bourdin-inspired treatment by Inez & Vinoodh, Sienna wears some great feathery dresses, and Shalom is in a haircut that reminds me of a mashup between Selma Blair's recent buzz cut and Posh's current 'do: all three girls get separate spreads, but together in one magazine they are quite the triple threat.
the cat in the hat comes back August 16, 2007 12:28 am >> Don't count Catherine McNeil out just yet -- she's already booking Spring 2008 ad campaigns.

  • September fashion magazines: the breakdown (and the cover pics)
  • Sir Philip Green not such a Top Man, when it comes to moral duty anyway
  • Apparently "The Devil Wears Prada because Prada is hell"...
  • Julia Restoin Roitfeld's latest project
since we're in a seventies state of mind August 14, 2007 2:39 am >> I was looking through some old Charlie's Angels photos (used to adore that show as a kid), and it really struck me as funny, how similar Kate Jackson's pants are to those already-ubiquitous Balenciaga jodhpurs...
