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?

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.

Friday, March 19th, 2010Lindsay + Purple Fashion
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010I’m sorry, but can anyone else see the irony in this cover. Nevermind the fact that she’s dressed like Jesus, and that the concept surpasses many levels of BERZERK absurdity, but the fact that she even has a cover, random!
The cover was shot by Terry Richardson, so of course you’ll expect high-end, fashion raunchiness. Photos of Li-Lo bending over, squeezing her breasts, and smoking ciggys while donning looks by Chanel, Miu Miu, and Givenchy. Found it all to be quit tasteful, however, I would of enjoyed it way more, had they not chosen Lindsay. She’s hands down fashion eye candy, but then you have to stop and think, is that all that she’s good for? At the end of the day, Lindsay is a media whore, always in the spot lights, so Purple chose the right girl, in a marketing skills aspect. The shots were very mad max, sexy, and minimal. Here is a little clip of behind the scene of her shoot with Terry Richardson for this month’s issue.
But, to end this on a good note, she looked great.

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008A resort in the Catskill Mountains lightly dotted with shiny, vintage AirStream sleeping “vessels”…… sounds SO amazing. It was founded by Kate Pierson, lead singer of the B-52s. I am definitely heading there next weekend… Who’s in?
