Surf Story
Friday, May 14th, 2010
Timo went to the beach and came back with three great new styles! Designer Timo Weiland and photographer Jack Coleman teamed up to create “Go,” “Change,” and “A Surf Story.”
The styles reveal Timo’s and Jack’s love for beach culture, fashion, photography, and slim wallets. Coleman, from Costa Mesa, California, has shot for BB Dakota, Idol Radec, and record label Eskucheme. His work is evocative of the southern Californian culture full of fun, sun, and the beach. The wallets are being sold exclusively at Bloomingdales.

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Oh Miu Miu
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
The swinging sixties. Channeling the modern Edie Sedgwick, Miuccia Prada displayed provocation with class for Miu Miu Fall 2010. Sexy ultra micro mini dresses with tulip shapes, high collars came down with striking thin bows on sheaths, and a color palette of black, nude, purple, and tangerine went down the runway. The narrow, short silhouette made an erogenous zone of twiggy legs elongated by square-toed pumps. The linear, Edie Sedgwick, pre-hippie sixties have been popping up with increasing frequency as the Fall season comes to a close. This collection put Prada squarely in the center of things, but, as usual, with her signature perverse twist.
McQueen knock-off…
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010This Topshop
dress is by no means a carbon copy of Alexander McQueen’s, but it is very clear that the people at Topshop were moved—just as much as the rest of the fashion world was—by the late designer’s “Plato’s Atlantis” collection.
So they made a dress “inspired” by the one McQueen sent down his SS10 runway on Amanda Laine’s back.
You can “channel your Space Age supermodel in the baroque print dress,” but the zany print is not nearly as offensive as the fact that Topshop went ahead with production after Alexander McQueen’s passing. Pretty tasteless, no?
Curvy is the New Skinny.
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010In the wake
of the womanly casting agendas at Prada, Giles, and Louis Vuitton for Fall 2010, The Imagist writes: ”There’s an unwritten memo now circulating . . . amongst a tight circle of model-makers and the message is this: the directive of the ’00s to have armies of blank, disposable, lookalike girls marching at the service of the campaigns, magazines and the runways is over. New decade, new ideal . . . the early booking reports on the FW 10 campaigns and editorials is registering is a taste for ultra-individual girl.

Maurizio Anzeri- Embroidery Meets Photography
Monday, March 22nd, 2010Embroidery takes on a new form with the work of Maurizio Anzeri, an Italian artist known for working with hair in sculpture. Taking old discarded family photographs, Anzeri uses synthetic hair to create a suggestive, beautiful representation of human emotion, bodily boundaries and new expression. What makes him interesting is that he is revitalizing the stories of the photographs themselves and producing a heightened sense of emotion from the original print. Anzeri was one of 30 artists in 2008 to be considered for the Sovereign European Artist Award, and his artwork is available in the Saatchi Online gallery. He has also collaborated on a piece commissioned by Alexander McQueen. Here’s a look at some of his work.

No More Clogs, Please
Sunday, March 21st, 2010Chanel spring 2010 clogs
raised our eyebrows; all subsequent clogs and variations thereof haven’t been our cup of tea either. But with this “Floral Slouch Clog,” Free People has gone too far. If we wanted to look like we had hooves made of flowers, we’d have been My Little Pony instead of people who have to be seen in public.
