Oodles of Poodles

I think it's pretty much a well-known fact that poodles are the coolest when they're Japanese. No poodle has ever looker finer prancing through an editorial then the one in Vogue Nippon's August issue. If you don't like that poodle, then you simply must watch the poodles in this Japanese work-out video.



And here's the editorial from Vogue Nippon (which I love dearly):










I stand by my point.

Purple Magazine diary

The ever fascinating biannual French magazine, Purple, also has a blog. Called a diary, much like Hedi Slimane's photo blog...
Included are: details shots from fashion week, models and DJs in black and white, weird people in general, crazy Russian models disco dancing while posing for Terry Richardson... It's too much!

Oh Betsey,

It's pretty hard to imagine anyone else but you being able to pull off a fashion show in a faux kitchen/diner. "It's a trip, trip, trip, trip." she says.

Girls just wanna have fun.

Hussein Chalayan x Nick Knight

There are few designers I love more than Hussein Chalyan. And when I say few, I mean very few. So, seeing his clothes in an editorial? Amazing. Vintage Miyake? Equally amazing. From Vogue UK's December 08 issue. Long live avant-garde fashion.











PS - I probably won't be doing many fashion week posts anymore, at least until Paris fashion week. Simply because it's what most fashion blogs do! And I would like to keep mine interesting.

Colette est magnifique

C'est vrai!!! I love that store. Located in beautiful Paris (213 rue Saint-Honore) they sell everything from Lanvin dresses to Pamela Love rings. Vinyl, books, magazines, art, and Coca-Cola bottles designed by Justice are not excluded. The website is great too, because of the music player that plays only the best of the best.

Another Fashion Week post//

Herve Legar by Max Azria showed cut-outs and Balmain silhouettes galore. It's not that I don't love both of those things... but they're getting a little old. It's pretty amazing that about 1/3 of the fall 2009 fashion shows have chosen this idea, if you will, so far. There is, however, the difference of texture in this collection.









I'm not usually a Diane Von Furstenburg fan. I enjoyed this collection though. Especially those silly pom pom hats! The designer dubbed her collection "nomad", with it's tribal fabrics, embellishments, and scarves. "In "times like these," what a girl really wants is a little pizazz" seems to be Furstenburg's motto. I have to agree.
