Balenciaga awesomeness...

I really love this collection from Balenciaga, shown yesterday in Milan. All the colours and patterns are really gorgeous. Hotness times a hundred.

Magazine Wednesday

Doesn't have the same ring as Magazine Monday, but hey, we couldn't go a week without at least one magazine day. And this week we are focusing on the teen fashion market. As witnessed by the size of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's bank accounts, this is a MASSIVE market. And you better believe everyone from Anna Wintour's Vogue, to Cosmopolitan is cashing in on it...

This month's issue of CosmoGirl features Lauren Conrad. Lauren who? some of you may be asking. And I probably would be to, but my parents have cable TV at their place, so I've had far too many opportunities to watch shit TV that the world would be a better off without.

Laguna Beach, otherwise known as 'the real O.C.' is a reality TV show, where a handful of rich kids, with the combined IQ's of my left knee, spend their days been filmed, as they mindlessly waste copious amounts of money shopping and sitting around their, strangely absent, parent's pools. And Lauren or 'L.C', as this bland chip is known was the queen bee of the first series. LC's storyline seemed to revolve, mainly, around her desire to get the most even tan while seducing the show's pin-up boy Steven- about as fascinating as watching my mum read the newspaper. But hey, well done for getting on a magazine cover, share your irrelevance with a wider audience. And it's always something to show your kids when they ask you what on earth you were ever famous for?


Not so sure why Vogue needs a teen version of it's magazine. I mean aren't most of the girls featured on the cover of regular Vogue teenagers anyway?

This month's cover features 'rising star' Kirsten Stewart. Again you may be having a 'who's she?' moment, but refreshingly Kirsten is actually famous for 'doing' something. I know, it's pretty crazy concept but Kirsten has amazingly achieved something in her 17-years on this planet.

Probably most familiar for her role as Jodie Foster's daughter in David Fincher's Panic Room, Kirsten also stared as a rape victim in the TV movie Speak. Apparently she had four lines, but was very good, so I shall say no more about the girl and let her get on with her career. That is of course unless she decides to star, feature, host, produce, direct or provide catering for a reality TV show and/or movie. I'll then be forced to have some serious words to the young miss.

What can I say about Mandy Moore? I actually have such a soft spot for the girl. I thought she was great in 'Entourage' and apparently she was awesome in that movie 'Saved'. And she seems rather smart for a young Hollywood actress, which is always something I don't expect, and therfore am impressed by.

However, I think I shall have to pull her up on this magazine cover. It's not that she looks bad or anything. In fact she looks wonderful. It's just I think she's kind of taking the piss, being on the cover of Seventeen. I mean the girls in her mid twenties! I know when she first jumped on to the scene with that terrible 'Candy' song, she was a young pup, but that was like 10 years ago. Time to move on Mandy. Twenty-two magazine is begging for you to be on it's cover.

Sex- The movie

Apparently the original screenwriters are working on the script for the new SATC movie. I am rather excited about this. I Wonder if the super talented Patricia Field (the woman responsible for the awesome outfits on the show) is on-board?

All the girls have signed on, even Kim Catrall, who was originally in a pay dispute with the producers resulting in the film's delay.

Production is due to start mid-year...

Do you think it will be good or tragic?

Fashion at the Oscars

I know the Oscars are a little outside the realm of what we do here, but it's just too good an opportunity to not write about considering every movie star (that matters), is at the show wearing a designer dress. And these dresses will be seen by over two billion people. So you can imagine what effect that has on a designer's profile and profitability. And if it effects designers then it effects us (I'm so dramatic). Plus there's just too much opportunity for hilarity...

Jodie Foster grins and bears having to wear her Vera Wang dress (or any dress for that matter- you know how much those lesbians love their functional pants and chunky soled shoes!)

Gwyneth- "I forgot a hair tie and you seem to have fallen in a fish tank and attached some coral to your otherwise pretty Armani dress! hahahhaha... we really need to sort our shit out...I mean, I don't even know why I was invited hahaha, I'M NOT EVEN NOMINATED FOR ANYTHING!..." (fades off to awkward silence)

Isla Fisher doesn't need a bra. She has a convenient boobie shelf, built right into her pretty little, strapless forest green dress.

The mini Aussie supported her fiancee Sacha Baron Cohen, whose film Borat was bizarrely nominated for 'best adapted screenplay'. Hmmmmm? I though Borat was improvised?

Fucking hot! I have no other words to describe Penelope Cruz's strapless Versace dress. Although imagine the amount of cigarette butts and straws this thing would pick up at the after party- very messy.

Apparently Penelope snuck in Salma Hayek under her hem. Those Latino ladies look after each other.

Straight after this photo was taken, Cate Blanchett raised her right hand into the air and jetted off the the planet Zargon in her Armani Prive dress, where she battled the Cryptopians in an interstellar battle for control of the universe. What can't this wonder woman do? She's an actor, mum, face of obscure Japanese skin care company and now an intergalactic warrior. And I guess considering she didn't win, she could always take herself home as a life sized, runner-up, silver Oscar.

Unkle Karl- Pic of the week

I don't know what the hell is going on in this pic, but my first reaction was- is Karl presenting some sort of televised award?

"And the daytime Emmy for most convincing transsexual stalker in a lead role goes to..."

Then I realised that the woman he is standing so poutishly (is that even a word?...better check my fashion dictionary) next to is Princess Caroline of Monaco. This threw me a bit, but then I thought- it's not completely out of the realm of reason that they could have presented a televised award together. I mean I'm sure there has been stranger presenting partners in the history of award shows. Yet I don't think that's it. There seems to be more going on in this photo than meets the eye. The background is very cheap looking. it's almost something you would find at a glamour photographers studio in a shopping centre. Considering the girth of Karl, the photo looks like it was taken during his 'fat years'. Perhaps Princess Caroline and Karl were hoeing down on a plate of sweet and sour chicken at a food court when in an MSG induced moment of abandon, Karl decided they should capture their friendship with a photo. Suddenly spotting a 'Blush Portrait studio', out of the corner of his eye, he whisked the princess over for a 2-for-1 special.
Karl as usual is 'working it' in the pic. Caroline on the other hand seems worried. It's almost as if she's suddenly realised where they are, and what her life has become- stuck in a co-dependent friendship with a self absorbed gay man, where the only thing they have in common is their eating disorders...

I wonder if Caroline looks back at this pic and reminisces about how far they've both come? Karl's finally conquered his overeating (by under eating) and she's married a Portuguese circus acrobat. Isn't life wonderful!

Little Marc- one might think this is a nickname for Marc Jacob's other member, but alas no. He's doing childrens wear.

Made for 2's- tweens, all of society will soon be dressed by Marc Jacobs. Angelina and Brad need not worry about where to shop for little Shiloh any longer...

(Is this Marc's love child?)

Alexander Mcqueen branches into protective wear

(Alexander Mcqueen, ready-to-wear Spring 2007 Menswear show, from this Monday)

Don't you just hate it when you go to check on your pollinating crops and you're forced to wear those ugly beekeeper outfits? I mean they're just so bulky and unfashionable. Thank god Alexander Mcqueen has taken some initiative and updated this outfit for the modern Bee Keeper. No longer must you have to endure the taunts and mockery from your fashion conscious friends and family.

And what's even better, you now have something to wear, if say, one of your beekeeping buddies dies and you have to go to his funeral. You just think of everything Alexander, you really do.

Semi nude male models...just because

I've spent hours tirelessly searching through the latest photos from the Milan spring shows to bring you the cream of the crop of semi-nude male models. It's a thankless job, but someones gotta do it.

From D&G to Costume National, anyone who says the shows are about the clothes is a danm liar. It's all about skin people, and the more of it the better. Enjoy!

Marc Jacobs After Party- London

As reported by Georgie in her look at the last Marc Jacobs fashion show after-party, Marky Marc loves socialising with his funky bunch of celebrity friends. And the party to celebrate the opening of his new London store was no exception. Held in the August halls and Salons of the Connaught (which is just about to be closed for a renovation) everyone wanted a piece of Makeover Marc. And the slimmed downed, clean cut designer was more than happy to oblige.

(Marky Marc and Selma Blair sporting the Mccully Culkin look.)

(Pixie Geldof is either pouting, or just trying to get a strand of prawn out of her front teeth- those two are so often consfused.)

(Marc's biggest fag hag Sophia Coppola waits impatiently for her photo to be taken- 'sigh...posing is just sooo pedestrian.')

And then Faggy McFag, the mayor of Fagsville (population 1) turned up! In contrast to Sophia, Faggy posed for 25 minutes and had two costume changes before he would let the photographer go- he's is soo coming to the You Wish... launch party!

Brit's Wig

Just a quick question. Why did Britney shave off her hair, just to wear this shitous wig? Even her ratty extensions were better than this hooker hand me down. Just breath Georgie... see god in everyone, see good in everyone, see god in everyone...

Jil Sander's models get paid in goats

The award for 'the most Eastern European models in one show', would surely have to go to Jil (one L) Sander. Back stage, in Milan last week, make-up artists couldn't tell their Vladislavs from their Slavacs.

The revenue generated by the models resulted in at least 14 Croatian villages been feed, clothed and schooled for a full year. Jil gives so they may grow (into models she can chuck down her runway).

I think George Costanza wore this jacket in an episode of Seinfeld- "it's Gortex Jerry, Gortex!"

Sheeshhh... this guy really takes 'fierce' to a whole new level. Apparently he bit a stylist before he came out!

"In my village a jacket this fancy could get me a wife and a video store membership!"

"I model, I walk down runway with my bag of tricks and make face with my beauty- good time for all!"

Wait a second... this guy isn't Eastern European! He looks more Jason Priestly than Vladimir Putin! Impostor! Although he is rather dishy, so we'll give him a pass just once.

Eau De Moss?

You wish fave Kate Moss will be launching her own perfume in September this year!

The people behind Sarah Jessica Parker's Fragrance will design the smell. Steve Mormris, the senior VP of global marketing for Coty Beauty, says the concept for the fragrance was a "mix of elegant and risque... with smoky rose and black undertones and a vintage English feel." He adds that the "complicated floral scent reflected the duality of Moss... it captures the two sides of Kate: the good Kate and the bad Kate."

I was thinking about this whole good Kate, bad Kate concept. So what's her bad side? Going on a three day bender in Ibiza with Pete? And if so what's her good side? being a caring mother to Lila? Which I guess if you put those two together her scent would probably be a mix of champagne, cocaine and the rich aroma of spew mixed with talcum powder and teddy bears? Mmm, tres chic?

Magazine Monday- Tom's ladies know how to look fierce.

This weeks 'Magazine Monday' is all about the pout. Both the old Mrs Cruise and the new one can be seen in the same month pulling the pout on separate magazine covers.

I guess as part of the Scientology induction you're taught not only how to remove the thetan clusters from your system, but also how to 'work it' for the cameras.

Jessica gets her fashion on

Jessica Simpson has just released her own line of clothing. The clothes will be available at Target.

Besides the fact that she looks like a Stepford Wife with the perkiest boosies I have ever seen, I'm not instantly turned off by any of it. It's not like any of the clothes are offensive in any way. Perhaps a little generic, but hey I wouldn't have expect anything different from her. I think most people would be a little confused if she suddenly released a line of clothes inspired by the German New Wave film maker Weiner Herzberg. But then you never know, perhaps she's saving that for next years collection- 'Das is good ya?'

What do you think about the look?
