Killed it. Continue reading

Guilty is the new Gucci fragrance just released September 2010. Gucci's ad campaign states, ' It is designed for the glamorous, daring, brave, and very sexy girls who like to party and enjoy themselves.' The face of the advertising campaign is Evan Rachel Wood, singer and actress. Scent is top notes of pink pepper, the heart note of lilac, base notes of patchouli and amber. Okay so I like it. I'm Guilty. Continue reading

Ford's presentation party to an exclusive guest list numbering less than 100 (including the models) at Ford’s Madison Avenue boutique showcased his Spring 2011 collection on Ford fans such as Lauren Hutton, Julianne Moore, and Beyoncé, among others. Photographer Terry Richardson was the sole photographer allowed to take pictures of the presentation event, and Vogue photographer Stephen Meisel features Angelina Jolie wearing Ford on the cover of the December issue. Ford returned to fashion after a six year absence showing his collection in NYC for the Spring/Summer 2011 womenswear collection. During fashion week, Ford adamantly refused to allow any photography of his collectionstating, "I don’t get the need for this immediacy. In fact, I think it’s bad. The customer is bored with those clothes by the time they get to the store.” Boring is not the descriptive word of choice for the first release of photos online. Continue reading

Karl Lagerfeld announced Tuesday that he is canceling his Paris Fashion Week event under his own label, and instead, is launching mass prestige items for online sale. The combination of the words mass and prestige = masstige and has been described as prestige for the masses. According to Wikipedia, masstige is a marketing term meaning downward brand extension. The term was popularized by Michael Silverstein and Neil Fiske in their book Trading Up and Harvard Business Review article "Luxury for the Masses." Not to be too cynical, but truthfully, prestige is usually accorded to that which is in scarcity. So in other words, Karl, I guess one can never be too thin, or too rich. Visionary or Mercenary?

At a Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan last year, an assortment of old and new media types in the front row: from left, Suzy Menkes, Michael Roberts, Bryan Boy, Sally Singer, Anna Wintour, Hamish Bowles, and Tommy Ton of the blog Jak and Jil. Designers and their publicists face a delicate dilemma as they prepare this season for New York's Fashion Week insanity - some 300 shows over 8 days - the all important question of who is indeed, a front row fashionista, and who is now demoted to second row citizenry. In the past year, no fewer than 30 longstanding fashion power brokers have swapped titles/jobs, throwing the old 'axis' of power into chaos. The world is waiting. Continue reading

The untimely death of The Fashion Master of the Universe, Alexander McQueen - whose last collection was a riot of color, a celebration of life exploding onto the scene - has seemingly inspired gray skies for as far as one can see this fall in retail stores nationwide.... I personally have had a difficult time at the keyboard, as the genius of McQueen was so wonderful each season, that the certainty that the world will never again see such wild creativity has left so deep a void as to be without words. As elegant, tasteful, and sophisticated this fall season's palette of neutrals may be, still to me, it's as if the whole fashion world is mourning for Alexander McQueen. Fall Fashion Week begins in New York City in a matter of days, one can only hope that color makes it back in homage to AM, and a rebirth of hope. Continue reading

Carrie Underwood at the People's Choice Awards 2010 Cota has been worn on the red carpet before, but not on such a luminary as Carrie Underwood, known for her fashion hits and misses. Cota, a Mexican-born designer who studied under Angel Sanchez (no red-carpet slouch himself) won the Fashion Group International's Rising Star Award in 2009, and debuted his eveningwear four seasons ago. 'Uptown Chic meets Lord of The Rings Shelob' best describes the slightly overwrought look of black cage-embroidered cocktail dress over a fitted white sheath. Hit or Miss? You decide. Check out video below... Continue reading
