blow your rent on this

I get that the whole "distressed" thing is a trend and all but $1,595 seems a tad steep for the Mulberry Metallic Milton Tote, which looked as if it has been dragged through the Mojave Desert and then blowtorched a teensy bit. Then again there are those who get their manicures done chipped and distressed on purpose to imitate Amy Winehouse, so go figure. I think this is a passive way to encourage the general people to buy vintage, yeah?

ALT, a man of substance

Oh Andre Leon Talley, you always manage to make an entrance what with your dramatic capes and festive suits. This time you really one-upped at the CFDAs in the accessories department with a turban (how very Prada spring 07) , mauve crocodile coat, satin purple flats and soon-to-be-convicted Naomi Campbell arm candy. God I so want to meet this man in person someday.

prints, prints, everywhere

Spring 08 is print crazy- first the Meisel editorial for Vogue Italia and now this edit. for V Magazine shot by Steven Klein. Stam looks like she lazing around like some sort of homeless, floral trendwhore. It's like looking into a kaleidoscope of Dries Van Noten and Prada whatsits, while on some sort of LSD trip. Excess these days...
