httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2CvTsYPJgI No words. Sobbing. Close to the same impact as the Alexander McQueen “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They” collection.… Read More »

Bob Morris wrote a witty piece in the New York Observer today that I wanted to comment on. I adore Bob’s writing. Always have. His article covers the uncovering of people these days. Whether it is short shorts at dinner parties, the Lady Gaga bee-keeper outfit that she wore to her sisters graduation or the current Marc Jacobs spread…literally…for his new cologne Bang, everyone is taking it off and showing their hooch. This phenomenon of people taking off their clothes seems to have taken a big turn when Demi Moore made it OK to be nine months pregnant and nude… Read More »

So, Target is under fire for making a generous contribution to a wanna-be, fag-bashing hater in Minnesota. That is, after all, the Mecca of style…downmarket style anyway. Target is such a contradiction of terms. Who is their “target” consumer? We see by walking into any store who is stocking up on child-labor made goodies. Whenever I enter the few stores that are a stones throw from Manhattan, I think, “Am I in Kansas? Where do these people come from?” However, Target is brilliant at all levels of marketing and public relations, well, except for the current fag-hating thing. Their visuals… Read More »

As the world tries to figure out what makes for great online moving images a.k.a. original content, leave it up to Marc Jacobs to create a fierce behind the scenes vignette from the upcoming Louis Vuitton campaign. There really isn’t much to say but congratulations. Recently, Dior and Chanel did these short films that went on an on, whereas in this Vuitton case, you don’t need all that bla bla bla. All you see are stunning models being stunning. Now that is branding at its finest rather than the aforementioned videos that are more filler that fierce. As someone who… Read More »

It was not that long ago, actually last year at this time, that I MEAN…WHAT?!? discovered The Manzie. You know how The Wolfman is part man, part beast? Well, a Manzie* is part man, part nelly beast. It all started quite innocently when I was just finding my mojo as a blogger and noticed that all the spring men’s shows were featuring the nelliest clothes on Earth. “Not that there is anything wrong with it.” But then, the fall collections showed lots and lots of butch realness (pants tucked into boots?) going down the runway. I thought perhaps, that the… Read More »

Has anyone been following this Kirsten Dunst robbery court case that is currently under way? Could there be anything more ridiculous on Earth? First of all, this whole case is about a stolen bag from a hotel room. Why is this case in court? Was it a Birkin bag? Or, was it that new, Marc Jacobs “IT” bag? Did Kirsten wait months for the “IT” bag and just by nature of this being a case of the missing “IT” bag, does it heighten the relevance of this case? Is the “IT” bag guilty of stealing Kirsten Dunst’s title of “IT”… Read More »

Do you care what this man says? Jim Carrey Tweeted his support of Tiger Woods yesterday. That’s more than interesting. – NY POST Are Lorenzo Martone and Marc Jacobs still “the happy couple”? I’ve been to as many gay divorces as I have gay marriages. -NY DAILY NEWS In case you missed it, Tina Fey killed it doing Sarah Palin Network on Saturday Night Live. -HUFFINGTON POST I love Maureen Dowd. Her stance on the Church and Pop drama is beyond noble. you go, girl. -NY TIMES This is how Tiger felt after every conquest. He is and will always… Read More »

Last night I went to a screening of A Single Man, Tom Ford‘s maiden voyage into film making. There has been plenty of hype around his wanting to be a director since the day he left Gucci five years ago. He made all the right moves, too. Bought a fierce house in the desert near Palm Springs, schmoozed up Bryan Lourd at CAA and totally made the scene in Los Angeles, yet chose New York to launch his signature clothing company. Ford’s return to the schmatta business was a subtle hint that Hollywood was not waiting for the fashion superstar… Read More »
