Kyle and Kristen Aim About Non-Anorexic Models

Kyle: Did you hear a model got sent home from Paris for gaining 5 lbs?
Kristen: What model?

Kyle: Her. This is the one show she got to do this season.
Kristen: WHAT A COW
Kyle: I know. If I look at her any longer I might loose 5 lbs just by barfing. If she looked in a mirror she'd do it the same thing and everything would be fine.
Kristen: Models aren't even pretty anymore.
Kyle: They all have architecture for faces.

[original story: Wasn't Skinny Supposed to Be Out of Fashion?]

on another thought: Balenciaga again got universal raves, which maybe it deserves, but the fact remains not a single one of those dresses could be worn with much else, especially body fat. Meanwhile Margiela got kind of "meh" response. I kind of though they'd look sexy on a fuller figer woman. (well first I thought they reminded me of the KRELwear get up I saw on the lead singer of Afrobeta last week.) The dresses themselves are flouncy and would hide a little bit of bulge, but they're still revealing. The layering of tights underneath reveals body shape, but not every flaw. It would look like what would happen if Beth Ditto had taste.

New Soles

are the new


The taste of people who spend too much time going to concerts and wearing skinny jeans have shifted in terms of corporately produced canvas footwear. Just letting old guys looking to be relevant, Nickelodeon Wardrobe masters, and sorierty chicks purposely trying to dodge the sorierty cliche know.

Coming to the Runway of Every Designer who Considers Themselves Edgey

Sort of awesome, but seriously: Coach sneakers?

Moët Enters The Snark Age, Brings Sonic Youth Along

"Rachel Zoe was seen screaming and cursing because she couldn't get in [to the Marc Jacobs show]. She tried to fight her way in with through the bouncers but they pushed her back and she ran off to her town car while those inside were rocking to Sonic Youth and happily sipping Moët."

- From a PRESS RELEASE sent out by Moët, via Fashionista.

Are you kidding me? They sent this out so blatantly in a press release? Rachel Zoe, by the way, is the celeb stylist responsible for Nicole Richie style transformation and rumored drug fueled weight loss, and now works with every feather thin girl in Lalaland. Not an easy person to like (Nicole Richie fired her and dubbed her "Raisin Face"), and not someone I'm going to defend, but did a major luxury company just put out a press release with petty gossip in it?

Moët puts the Moët in LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the biggest purveyors of over priced la-de-das in the world. Marc Jacobs, when he's not dying his hair blue, fucking porn stars, or posing nude for fashion magazines finds time to be the creative director of Vuitton, and his Marc Jacobs show is the hottest ticket of NY Fashion Week. You'd think with all of that they'd have the class to let potential Perez Hilton filler fall beneath them. Or at least the sense to leak it a bit more discreetly. Of course Zoe just got a gig consulting on the revived, and potentially competing, Halston label, but na-na-na-boo-boo press releases are pretty ugly. Almost as ugly as half the crap LV slaps their monogram on.

And really? Did they have to drag Sonic Youth into this petty nonsense?

edit: Ugh, Apparently Kevin Federline was seated in the front row. So tacky. Such a gross combination of trying to be cool and desperately seeking blog approval. So shallow pretty much all of it. Why would Kim Gordan endorse all this?

I've Been Stuck In My Genie Bottle Since 1990 and I Was Just Starting to Enjoy the Agony

Oh look, finally Dior Homme pants I wouldn't need to starve myself to fit into. All this from the house who took the trend of shaggy hair skater teens wearing girls' jeans and turned it into the standard high fashion silhouette of the decade. Of course that was all under a different designer, and I guess hammer pants are as good as anything to discern yourself from your predecessor. I'm just not sure discerning men will embrace it. Who wants to look like I Dream Of Jeannie's gay, goth cousin?

Technicolor Nightmare Hair

Either you ladies are going to have to stop wearing these wigs or I'm going to keep having nightmares about Anna Wintour chasing me through downtown LSD City.

Balenciaga Motorcycle Diapers Coming Soon

Do you know how late I am on this? Almost exactly three months. This is what happens when you don't have a blog to vent stupid observations on inane topics, like the Balenciaga Spring 2008 RTW line.

There was a rumor going around that Paul Bettany hated this dress so much when Jennifer Connoly wore it that they got in a tiff, until it came to its natural conclusion and they fucked in the bathroom during whatever premier they were at. So the collection is back in my mind. Ghesquière said he wanted to concentrate more on single outfits instead of just pieces to mix'n'match, but if you look at woman today most of them are all about mixing'n'matching. In fact the only females who wear pre-arranged outfits any more are under the age of five. Short, but not at all revealing, onsies that look like they're cut from flower-puke fabirc, it's straight from the baby isle. Seriously google image search "baby dresses", you'll see what I mean. Sure, there's some inovative craft here, but the final product is a bit insulting to woman.

This all brings me back to my original point that Paul Bettany is obviously arroused by grown woman in baby clothes, and as much as he tries to fight it, he can't.
