“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

Andrej Pejic is an unconventional beauty and there is nothing conventional about him. Andrej was catapulted into spotlight from the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall ’11 fashion show in Paris and continues to take the fashion industry by storm. When asked by journalist, Hilary Alexander whether he would ever consider getting a sex change, he dryly said, “Perhaps if Victoria’s Secret would offer me a contract. Otherwise I am quite happy being me.” As he should be. The cover girl/boy tops the list of this year’s OUT100. You know, that Gay It List that any queen would otherwise kill to be… Read More »

You all know what I think about celebrity turned fashion designers by now. If not, you have been living under a rock. To refresh, my basic belief is that actors/actresses and reality stars should not think just because they like fashion, that they should throw themselves into the already  saturated market and leave the industry alone. It is the rare celebrity that successfully makes the transition, such as the Olsen Twins with their dynasty. Granted Sofia Vergara might be making a boat load of cash with her Attention: K-Mart Shoppers leopard numbers, but making money is not the only gauge… Read More »

It must be all sorts of difficult to live up to the legacy of her father, Kurt Cobain, having had such an enormous impact of our cultural landscape. That, coupled with her incredibly koo-koo mother, Courtney Love, who has overshadowed anything that Frances Bean Cobain has set out to do by her sheer koo-koo-ness. I am happy to report that from the looks of things anyway, Frances Bean has found her stride. Hedi Slimane’s haunting photo series of the pretty young thing shows that Frances is interesting at worst and has the potential to soar as she cultivates her interests… Read More »

Three words that you will never hear on a red carpet. “It’s a Kanye.” Celebrities. When will they learn, the poor dears.  Have they not seen the list of well-intended, stylish, fixtures from the front row circuit who have tried and failed miserably. OK, Mary Kate and Ashley Olson are an exception to the rule. But then again, they have been in the schmatta business since they were tykes, so they had a chance to beat the celebrity odds.… Read More »

Though the song goes Arrivederci Roma, for today we can sing Arrividerci D & G, the cha cha cha line by Dolce & Gabbana. Though it surely had a fun run and became the go to choice for tacky queens, their beautiful signature collection might have been overshadowed. Or else why cancel it? Those boys are really fabulous, have a great track record, and I can only hope this means great things. You see, we aren’t bitter all the time.… Read More »

That is Lola Madonna Leon, all grown up and somewhere to go… Macy’s. Shown here with Kelly Osbourne, the face of Material Girl, Lola was on hand to celebrate the one year anniversary of the tween’s own clothing label. She is so pretty. Awww. How old am I getting? What do you think of some of the looks from Fall Material Girl, girl. Thoughts?… Read More »

Girl, this is no Gossip. On the contrary. This continues what I just was saying two minutes ago that television will never replace real fashion designers. What it will do, is confuse everyone to thinking that in order to be a Blair Waldorf or a Serena Van Der Woodson, all you need to do is buy off the rack. That’s like saying if you buy the best cookware from Le Creuset, that will make you a great cook. It does not work like that. Having style is something most folks will never really acquire. You can not buy it off… Read More »
