More Bla Bla on "- New York Fashion Week -"
Designer Profile: David Lerner
When Carine Roitfeld’s personal assistant contacted David Lerner requesting several styles of his black leather leggings that she had purchased at Intermix, he knew that he had arrived. His eponymous collection of updated sophisticated basics has become the go-to resource for the sophisticated, confident woman. … Read More »
New Word Alert: prada v. prada-ed, prada-ing, prada-s a. To go crazy, to flip often used with out. b. To react strongly and especially enthusiastically: She pradaed over the new men’s collection from London. Nothing has made me happier than when I was pradaing (see above) from the images at London Men’s Fashion Week only to discover that the long, lost Manzie is back… and potentially with a vengeance. Only time will tell though as we prada through Milan, Paris and New York. Let’s face it, menswear has become one bland sea of plaid and quasi-butch-realness. Coupled with the horrible… Read More »
Days of Kim’s Lives…Not Keeping Up With Kanye Kardashian
So here’s the downside for Kanye Kardashian. Um, that’s it.… 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 »
Manzies Are Back… Guess Who
“They’re baaack!” Remember Poltergeist II (see clip below) and to quote another line from the film here, “You are gonna die”, but only in the way that Rachel Zoe dies…as in I D-I-E. Manzies are back with a vengeance. Just look at what Marc Jacobs more to his Louis Vuitton after party in Paris. This updated Muu-Muu gown could very well be a Miu Miu gown, since he and Miuccia are palsies. But, hey, bless his heart for walking around as comfortably as he looks, complete with Priscilla Alden Pilgrim shoes, and not an ounce of flab. I’d kill to… Read More »
OK kids. Here’s the deal. My friends Marco Argiro and Chris Bunatta are in a band called The Killing Floor. They are producing their first video for the song Star Baby directed by Joel Schumacher. The Killing Floor has a Kickstarter Campaign to raise the balance of the funds needed for the production, set to shoot December 9. They don’t need that much more dough. Please watch the Kickstarter promo below and join me in helping this upstart band have their day in the sun. I am pledging $75 because I want the T-shirt. (It better be good Marco.) Seriously,… Read More »
Toddlers & Tiaras & Tatas… Oh My!
Eden Wood, that fantastic retiree from Scary Tangerine Pageants, who was recently dressed by Marc Jacobs during New York Fashion Week, has gone into the endorsement/personal appearance business. No more competing with screaming, underfed, tykes. Eden is onto bigger and better opportunities like cocktail parties and store openings.… Read More »
Some weeks are better than others. Like when you win the lottery… great week. When you don’t buy the lottery ticket and the number you always play wins… not a great week. In that same vain, some weeks there are red carpet events where The Not Best Dressed List has slim pickins, versus weeks like this, where there was a plethora of horrendosity. Without any further ado, here is this week’s Not Best Dressed List…Par Deux. … Read More »
The war in the Middle East will have nothing on the war that is kicking off at retail between wanna-be-perceived-as fashion retailers Sears versus K-Mart. Think what you want about television stars being the next big fashion statement, but between the similarities between the Kardashian Kollection at Sears and the Sofia Vergara collection at K-Mart, you can just give me a friggen break. Fast fashion is perhaps the saddest thing that happened to the industry. Sure, affordable style is a good thing. But it has run a muck. So, what, now, you can have a supporting role on an overrated… Read More »
