Essex Fashion Week is insane.

There are more Fashion Weeks than friggen Starbucks. I can’t get into a soliloquy here because you know how I feel about bastardizing anything, coffee or fashion. The latest claim is from Essex, England, knows as the Jersey Shore of the UK. Just look at these people who think they are all that and a bag of chips and you tell me I am not 100% right when I say that these kinds of scenarios need to not go unpunished.… Read More »

El Paseo Fashion Weeek is an oxymoron.

It has been a while since commenting on the bastardization of the term Fashion Week. Couple years ago, they seemed to be popping up in every God knows where and forsaken location on Earth. Reading back from older IMW posts, I found an entry which included a plan to put an end to all of them besides New York, London, Milan and Paris. Guess my plan never was activated because I just discovered another one… El Paseo Fashion Week. Where is that you ask? It just does not matter because it needs to stop now. Look, I understand that a… Read More »

Have I Got A Schmatta For You

Who watched Fashion Star? OK, don’t admit it. I am kinda embarrassed to say that I tuned in. The format of Fashion Star is a bad combination of Let’s Make A Deal meets Antiques Roadshow meets To Tell The Truth. They should  re-name the show Have I Got A Schmatta For You. First of all, the little vignettes about each “designer’s” life is so uninteresting, it makes the American Idol visits to the finalists high school seem riveting, comparatively speaking. Attention: Television Producers… no one cares about these obscure hopefuls. I did not care about them on that show Scouted… Read More »

I would love to have Chrisdien Deny dress the Republican presidential hopefuls. That would make me very happy.

What is more delicious than the name of this designer collection in China? Chrisdien Deny does men’s and women’s clothing and accessories and should become the go-to designer for our entire right wing, Christian conservative zealots here in the US. Perhaps they could be the featured designer of choice for the Republican Convention in Tampa. Lord knows those Tea Baggers could use a make-over and do I got a line for them. Sidebar: I bought a baseball jacket in Korea once the said on the applique “All Love Is Need” instead of “All you Need Is Love”. Boy was that… Read More »

Please note: This Entry First Appeared July 12, 2009 Who’d have thunk that when I MEAN…WHAT?!? coined the phrase Manzie Report, and pointed out the horrendousness of some of the things that everyone’s favorite Manzie is wearing, that lo and behold, Time Magazine, yes, that magazine that puts Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin on the cover, has an entry about Mancessories. So, now that the Manzie has been adulated by the general media, I am thrilled to say my prescient observation of this uncanny trend has now been substantiated and I am officially anointing Time Magazine with… Read More »

Not a week after I said that Lindsay Lohan should lose those bangs comes her new ‘doo and I am taking full credit. Whatever. this, after she was mistaken for Debbie Harry who is FORTY years her senior. Too bad she didn’t do this for her return to Earth on Saturday Night Live. People would have been more focused on that rather than her cue-card festoon.… Read More »

Ashley Dupre was the Kim Kardashian of her time.

What do Snooki and JWoww have in common with Ashley Dupré? Who is Ashely Dupré you ask? How quickly we forget our hookers with a tongue of gold. Ashley was embroiled in the Eliot Spitzer debacle. After that mess, she had a short-lived career as a columnist for the New York Post, naturally, called Ask Ashley, which dealt with everything you wanted to know about being a hooker but were afraid to ask your mother. That lasted long. So after you get booted from the Post, what’s a hooker to do? Open a lingerie shop, of course, and where better… Read More »

The hosts Jessica Joffe and Ambra Medda.

After the runways were taken down, the chairs folded away, all extra The Dailies thrown in the trash, and a truce declared between the uptown vs. downtown fashion show war, came the unofficial closing party of New York Fashion Week. No, not the thing that Axl Rose sang at late into the night, rather the Closed party at The Bowery Hotel. Closed is a cool collection from Hamburg, Germany and Jessica Joffe and Ambra Medda hosted an informal cocktail party. If you were smart enough to attend,  you would have been photographed by Martien Mulder, who set up a great… Read More »
