Paris Style Icons Part Two

The next in our series is Vanessa Paradis, significant other of Johnny Depp and envy of pretty much every woman in the world. Photo source.

From the Beatles to Bowie at National Portrait Gallery

There’s no doubt that the ’60s were cool.  I wasn’t there, but there’s certainly plenty of photographic evidence to support it. The  Beatles to Bowie: the 60s exposed exhibition launching October 15th at the National Portrait Gallery in London is a show and tell of some of the pop-star cool cats of Swinging London at the [...]

Objects Are Shinier Than They Appear

Drawn to shiny objects? Like tallness? Have a bit of a shoe “habit”? These are perfect for you (and me!). Available at Net-a-Porter.

Desi Fashion’s Golden Girl

Anamika Khanna is my soul sister. Being a Khanna is like being a Malhotra – we are the Italian equivalent of pisanes. Then there’s the kindred spirit thing. Anamika creates beautiful, edgy, asymmetrical pieces, mixing styles from the west with the decorative eastern arts. And me, well, I like to wear all of those things – [...]

Paris Style Icons Part One

What is that je ne sais quoi about the Parisians? Over the next week or so, I’ll be sharing images my fave French fashionistas. After all, it is the most stylish city in the world, officially confirmed by Forbes magazine recently. It’s only appropriate that we begin with Madame Deneuve, muse to Yves St. Laurent [...]

Won’t You Tell Me How to Get…

Fashion has hit the street. Sesame Street, to be precise. Harper’s Bazaar took a stroll down the Street we didn’t know was haute, until now. It was in celebration of the show’s 40th anniversary.

UmA, OprAH, and now ANNA

David Letterman had a chat with the usually TV-camera shy Anna Wintour. No shades (okay, so she walked in wearing them) and all smiles (!!), a demure Anna chatted with Dave. That sound you hear? It’s the phone ringing off the hook for that media coach. Here’s the video for your viewing pleasure.

Anna on Dave Letterman Tonight

Don’t forget to set your TiVo, PVR and/or family member to program your old-school VCR. And while you are at it, adjust your yoga schedule, sleep schedule and your life as you know it. Anna Wintour is going to be on David Letterman tonight. You heard correctly. This is all part of Anna’s publicity tour [...]

Looking Good is a Cinch

While all the flowy, a-line, drapy numbers are a must in our collective closets, sometimes a girl needs to show her waistline. And by that, I don’t mean baring your midriff à la Britney. I’ve been belt obsessed for the past year at least (still thinking about the Phillip Lim one btw). There is nothing like a great [...]

Daphne G, You Fascinate Me

Lucy Cavendish interviewed much loved eccentric, Daphne Guinness, in the Saturday edition of the Telegraph UK – one of my fave reads. The interview gives you a glimpse inside Ms. G’s world…internal and external. I found the piece enlightening and fascinating. It’s great Sunday reading on this side of the pond. Ms. Guinness was also [...]

The Perfect Weekend Starter

…or the perfect end to a great week. Friday night mags. What could be better? If the mags are fresh issues for September. W, Sept Vogue (with yawner cover), another Just Jen cover – this time on Elle, the new Holt’s catalogue with (gush) McQueen on the cover (the book is surprisingly good this season, [...]

Linda and Meisel – Together Again

Super Linda was photographed recently by super snapper, Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia. Ciao darrrrlings. Good to have you back.   [Click on the thumbnails to see a larger view.] More Linda to come…watch for it over the weekend.

What Anna Wore and Other Bores

This is what Anna Wintour wore to the movie premiere of the season in NYC earlier tonight. Equally yawn-inducing is this year’s September issue cover. I am not seeing this as a good omen, kids. Anna is on her way out. She looks way too happy and perky in prints. And that cover is so staid [...]

…If Mr. Christie, You Make Good Cookies…

…then we can conclusively say Monsieur Alaïa, you make Goooooood Heels.   How do we know? Here’s the evaluation criteria: Morning Commute + Work + Coffee Walk + Walk to dinner + Walk to party venue + Party – standing AND stairs multiple times  = 18 hours. Pain/torture = 0 hours (including 6’5 gentleman backing on [...]

Fashion Distractions: The Devil is in the Details

Scene on a Monday evening in Toronto… Type A: I am trying to focus on my after work Monday to-do list. Fashion Devil: But have you seen this? Open the email…you know you want to… Type A: In a while, crocodile. I must check a few things off…or else I won’t sleep. Fashion Devil: But [...]
