Milan Men’s Fashion Week


This one’s for the ladies. Gorgeous male models all lined up and looking pretty. Leave it to Armani so leave my mouth trembling for more. As I glanced through the runway shots of these studly fashion beefcakes I saw countless hits and a few misses. Like this Turkish pajama getup that Armani seemed to be in love with, very confusing. Also, I was so feeling the saucy tanned male model wearing those oh so sexy DSquared2 tiny black speedos but then I noticed a thick patch of pubic hair over the top of the shorts and the hotness was ruined. Pubic hair just doesn’t mix well with high fashion.

Italian Vogue Makes History


This is something I think is long overdue. For the month of July, Italian Vogue will be featuring 4 different covers all with black models, and all of the editorial features will focus on black women in the arts and entertainment industry. Amazing! This has never before been seen from such a huge fashion magazine, and it doesn’t get any bigger than Vogue. I am going to personally suscribe to Italian Vogue from now on since reading this story. To date I only susbcribe to the American Vogue, maybe they can learn a thing or to from this fantastic story. Even though it does cost $265.52 for 12 issues, I think it’s more than worth it. Plus I’ll save a few dollars every month as opposed to buying from NYC City news stands. Read the full story

MTV Movie Awards Fashion Recap


I know it’s a little late, but I wanted to share some of my favorite fashion shots of the 2008 MTV awards. I was pretty blown away by how good so many people looked, including America’s Most Annoying Blond Heidi Montag who looked unbelievably hot! Wow, I can’t believe I finally have something nice to say about Heidi. I can’t say the same for Megan Read the full story

David Beckham is so my boyfriend


Does it get an hotter than this? David is so fine, so sexy, and easy on the eyes. That’s why I am perplexed as to what he see’s in Posh Spice. I have a few theories on their marriage but I will still mum for now. For all you haters that think my theory is that David Beckham is gay, you can squash that , because I truly don’t believe that for a second. I am slightly turned off by his girl man voice, I mean it’s so weird looking at this sexy hunk that can make any woman weak at the knees, and then he opens his mouth to speak and it’s like..what the hell? He has one of the softest voices I have ever heard on a male athlete, and besides being married to Victoria Beckham, I see that as his only flaw. Guess what people, I can live with the girl voice if it means making this stud my boy toy! Read the full story

The 7 year old fashion wonder boy


I came across this video clip that featured 3 very short segments on beauty and style clips, and the first segment featured an amazing little boy who just happens to be a fashion prodigy. Meet 7 year old Geordy, the fashion wonder boy, as he styles models with designing legend Isaac Mizrahi. Watching Issac and this little boy together bouncing off ideas from each other was very cute and actually quite cool. After seeing that segment I realized 2 things that were very obvious, 1.) There is no way in hell that kid is gonna end up being straight , it’s clear already (which is fine) and 2.) He is going to be a HUGE star in the fashion industry when he gets older. As for the other clips? I could care less about the other 2 clips because the segment with Geordy is all I cared about. Enjoy!

Yves Saint Laurent fashion to be auctioned off


This photo provided by Christie\'s auction house shows an Yves Saint Laurent cut-out floral necklace from Spring/Summer 1990 with an estimated selling price of $1,000-1,500. A month after the death of Yves Saint Laurent, Christie\'s is auctioning seven pieces of the legendary French fashion designer\'s clothing and jewelry, including this necklace, representing nearly every decade of his career. (AP Photo/Christie\'s Images LTD.) Photo Credit: AP Photo NEW YORK — A month after the death of Yves Saint Laurent, Christie’s is auctioning seven pieces of the legendary French fashion designer’s clothing and jewelry representing nearly every decade of his career.

The items at the July 2 auction include a 1958 cocktail dress for Dior and a 1970s Rive Gauche camel cable-knit sweater trimmed in fox fur similar to one Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis wore.

“What’s exciting about the collection is that you see the progression of his career. He was a real style-setter,” said Christie’s couture specialist Laura Leyfer.

Saint Laurent died on June 1 at age 71. Considered one of the most influential designers of the 20th century, his creations _ from pop-art print mini-dresses to peasant skirts and elegant pantsuits _ endure to this day.

The cable-knit sweater _ with a pre-sale estimate of $250 to $400 _ is a version of one Onassis was often photographed wearing, a style she owned in several colors, according to Christie’s auction catalog.

All of the items are in excellent condition and are relatively inexpensive because they aren’t new designs and have been worn, Leyfer said Friday. “That’s part of the appeal and it’s what makes it a collectible,” she said.

Another item for sale is a dusty pink layered tulle evening dress with metallic pink and silver embroidery, which Saint Laurent designed for Dior in 1958. It’s could fetch $1,000 to $1,500.

The costume jewelry includes a floral gold-tone metal and crystal stone necklace from 1990, estimated to sell for $1,000 to $1,500, and a hammered gilt-metal “ethnic” necklace from the 1970s that could bring $600 to $800.

The sale also includes pieces from other designers including Christian Lacroix, Thierry Mugler, Balenciaga and Gianni Versace. Source

Badgley Mischka’s Cruise 2009


I just adore long romantic getaway cruises, and there isn’t anything more stylish you can wear while your on one than Badgley Miscka’s Cruise 2009 line. Look at the endless mediterranean blues and shimmering golds and silvers featured in this collection., these colors and remind of the movie Troy for some reason. Remember those stunning shades of turquoise, sea greens and cobalt blue that were featured in the clothing in that movie? I just love this line because it makes me want to go on a cruise , kick back in my Badgley Mischka swimsuit on the top deck sipping on frozen pina coladas, while reading Italian Vogue.

I really need a vacation. I also really need this stunning red number featured in the gallery below. How do these make this look so beautiful?? I adore every single last piece in this collection. Hands down it’s one of the best Cruise collections I’ve seen in years.

 

Sometimes Cruise, or Resort, collections have little to do with warm weather vacations in exotic locals during the cold winter months following the purchase of one’s fall wardrobe – it’s simply a retail signifier that new merchandise will be hitting the floor pre-spring.

But Badgley Mischka’s Cruise 2009 collection, which designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka presented on Tuesday afternoon, June 10, during an intimate runway show in their New York office, epitomized glamour on the high seas, particularly the kind that might be found sunbathing on a yacht in a Riviera harbor circa 1955.

Grace Kelly and her mid-fifties films “Mogambo” and “To Catch a Thief” inspired the collection, said Badgley, but a disco-era Grace - Jones, that is, would be another apt comparison, with all the criss-cross chiffon halter neck and lamé gowns making up the bulk of the duo’s signature pieces. The collection’s daywear section opened with a series of tropical prints in lush colors like jade, grape and mango adorning a cowl neck chiffon dress, a bikini and a raincoat. Smart, tailored safari jackets followed, along with a couple of leopard print pieces.

Eveningwear, Badgley Mischka’s mainstay, was less focused, with looks ranging from bohemian caftan-like dresses to empire-waisted chiffon gowns in citrusy colors on the warm end of the color wheel to the aforementioned disco dolly numbers, but when you’re dressing stars for the red carpet, variety isn’t a bad thing.
