lanvin dance video: fall winter 2011


hmmmm…lanvin dance contest… i’m sure it will work and do very well given the audience, even though they may not be the actual clientele of lanvin.  i saw this, over the weekend when a friend was bragging how great it was. i’m not 100% convinced, but i do like the fact that it breaks with stogy world of fashion and brings some lightness and fun into fashion. now while albaz is a cooky, fun fellow, the brand isn’t.  H&M pulled it off well on the lanvin, lagerfeld, and viktor & rolf spots, i think this video which is a complete reference to burning rocks (fassbinders script) which we had posted ages ago.  it’s not executed as well as it could have been, and places the lanvin house line quite close to the H&M lanvin line, and that is not very brilliant. by dd

the cars, the strokes, pulp and of course mister jarvis cocker

nice cover of the cars “just what i needed” by jarvis cocker and julian casablancas of the strokes, who seems to be porkin’ up. i guess rock stars should not be allowed to get fat, unless they’re elvis. oh, and… lets lay off the curse words people, it makes you all look like eight year olds. jarvis on the other hand, elegantly rules. by ar

Ruschmeyer’s: montauk


not a hamptons or even montauk kind of person but i was there a few weeks ago on a beautiful and breezy night and wanted to post this but never got around to it. a friend took us there and although i didn’t stay the night at the hotel, the dinning in the back with the lanterns in the trees and the indian tipi tent, was quite a magical treat. the crowd was pretty good considering the hamptons (and sorry i do bunch them all together). there were some degenerate manhattanites in there but not enough to ruin your night. all in all it was great evening and the casualness of montauk along with good service and food of manhattan did make ruschmeyers a must visit if you happen to trek it out there. by uh
