Jean-Paul Gaultier Fall-Winter 2009 Haute Couture
Madness! Total madness! We adore Jean-Paul Gaultier's sense of creativity. His 2009 haute couture show was like a fashion circus! It's always fun to see clothes that no human being in his/her right mind would ever wear. But, hey, isn't that what it's all about?Continue reading Jean-Paul Gaultier Fall-Winter 2009 Haute Couture

Victoria Beckham to design high-end dresses
Apparently Victoria Beckham is tired of just wearing expensive clothing -- she wants to design it, too. She has already designed a line of jeans (which hasn't actually done too well, in large part because she put very little effort into promoting the line), and now she has decided to try her hand at something with which she's a little more familiar -- upscale dresses.

The Pope ain't wearing Prada
Tip of the day: Dip dye, ombre... whatever you want to call it
After ombre was shown at Prada's 2007 fall show, lovelies like Ali Carter, Paris Hilton, and Thandi Newton ate the trend up. For spring 2008, many other designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Giles, and Adam + Eve followed suit in lighter and brighter colors.
A few tips to follow up with and you'll be ombre-tastic in minutes.

The Kardashians give back
Most of us check out Forever 21's online store everyday in hope of finding a decent designer knock-off.Others are fortunate enough to have the discretionary dollars to occasionally purchase a Marc by Marc top or pair of J Brand wide leg trousers on sale at Shopbop.
Gallery: Keeping up with the Kardashians, eh?
And then there is that select group of individuals who have so many luxury goods that they don't even have enough room in their 2,000 sq. feet closets to store them all in, so they give away a few of their luxe goodies to the less fortunate: Their equally fabulous, but poor friends.
A new kind of wedgie for men
We're not sure what to think of the latest trend to turn up on the runway: Fendi gave his male models wedges. Shoes that is. As in, he put them in heels.
True, men have been wearing subtle and not-so-subtle heels since Napoleon, and there was that outbreak of platform shoes in the 70s. Still, Fendi's decision has us stymied.
In theory, it's kind of a good idea. The wedge is a very comfortable heel in which to walk, it's not especially feminine -- a Louis heel will raise far more eyebrows -- but to us, there is something really weird about it.
Perhaps we're being stodgy, so let's put it to a vote. What are your thoughts about men in heels? Only good at a Gay Pride Parada, or the trend of tomorrow?
Michelle Obama's style secret: Maria Pinto
We're enjoying all of the Wall Street Journal coverage about Michelle Obama and her sartorial choices. Last week it was about what she wore on The View. This week's Michelle missive reveals the name of the designer behind the purple "fist bump" sheath dress, and so many of Michelle's great looks: Chicago-based designer Maria Pinto.

Swarovski Runway Rocks jewelry show
As you may or may not know, London is hosting their Jewellery Week right now. The event started on Wednesday and wraps up tomorrow. And there were some truly amazing pieces at the Swarovski Runway Rocks show from 3 nights ago.Manuel Bozzi debuts 'University of Rock 'n' Roll' collection
If rock is dead, Manuel Bozzi didn't get the memo -- or maybe Italian designer just doesn't care. Really, aside from the reference to a pretty mediocre Jack Black movie, we think his University of Rock 'n' Roll collection does a pretty good job capturing the mysticism of classic rock in accessories you might actually wear. Some of the designs are more subtle than others, but most of them don't look like they came from Hot Topic.
His inspiration for this season's collection is an imaginary university where one can go to learn the ways of Rock. Most of his inspiration is drawn from the classic styles of the 60's and 70's -- and of course icons like LV model Keith Richards. All of his pieces are meant to get cooler with age, i.e. silver styles that tarnish, leather that looks better as it wears. We really like the alligator belt buckle.

There's one thing that troubles us about this University of Rock 'n' Roll concept: if there was such a university, wouldn't the students drop out, because that's the most rock 'n' roll thing to do?
