lovin’ lanvin – only the future will tell
it’s always tricky to accept that the lines we feel deep deep love for may not deliver when it comes to the apparently cool collab with also lovable h&m.; 1+1 should = 2 but hasn’t always in the past. we will have to wait until november 20th to sort out all of these mixed emotions with lanvin’s turn. in the meantime, enjoy the full collection video. by kl
the pathetic state of fashion: kim kardashian W magazine cover
if fashion was to be aspirational i must admit that they have lost their way in the desperate state of economic affairs. how pathetic is the state of the fashion world when you go from creativity, to celebrity, and all the way down to trash. what do these people stand for? what is there to aspire to? why are they pushed onto our consciousness? what have they left behind for us to aspire to? are we to be admire trash talk, lack of talent, lack of intelligence, and lack of any creativity in these beings? the answer is yes of course. fashion’s legitimacy was always in question, but now it doesn’t even deserve the question. i for one canceled my subscription to W, one of the only US pubs that at least in the past had brought some interesting photographers to the mainstream stage, like philip–lorca dicorcia, and ryan mcginley. the biggest faux pas in this whole thing is that W even dared to put kim and the word art on the same page. its a sad grey day indeed! by dd
Talking about the lennons
sean and kemp by terry richardson
looks like sean had better taste in women than john… well i guess that’s not so nice to say. i do like yoko as annoying as she sometimes is she made john a better man, i mean how one can go from writing “love me do” to “working class hero” is beyond me. by dd

YSL manifesto with Daria Werbowy
must say i hate the usual bullshit brand videos. the typical, glorifying, amateur, behind-the-scenes of kate (at best) swinging her hair in the wind; but, inez and vinoode rocked this one. the locked down camera, dead simplicity, gorgeous silhouettes of stefano pilati, “invisible” track and daria in the best wig hairdo i’ve ever seen. drooooool. almost as hot as the fella kuti video in his trunks. by dd
shang xia – hermes
uber luxury brand hermes rocked the fashion world opening a new brand, it’s a first time for hermes, and none the less, it’s a chinese brand, called shang xia and it’s only sold in shanghai for the moment.
rather surprising but after reading some articles about this strange team, i figure out both brand share a hardcore interest in craftsmanship and tradition. so if any other brand had done the same deal, i would think of them as opportunist but coming from hermes, i’m just really wondering… (read the article, it’s interesting) by pp.
vanessa bruno – day for night
let us continue with the fashion short movies. in the past, we have posted vanessa bruno’s shorts, and the new one is just as beautiful. pure pleasure. we were talking about ryan mcginley a few posts earlier, but to me those shorts are the best cross over fashion/movies.
it’s from stephanie di giusto and it’s featuring valentine fillol cordier and once again lou doillon. sublime! by pp.
