F.A.: Hey, you think Marc Jacobs has been fashion stalking Ashley Tyler? I mean, this is how you bop around Soho all time, no?

A.T.: I've asked myself the same question... he's got spies everywhere!

F.A.: The concept is totally lifted from you! But you look much better, of course...

Why LA Can Never Be A Fashion Capital

Because Paris is modeling and Tara Reid is in front row.
Tara: Paris! you are so going to get laid with that outfit! Skankalicious, girlfriend!

"Fashion Is A Wank"

Leave it to Juergen Teller to take swipes at the Meisel-induced dead model craze and the odd popularity of Kate Moss. This German is artistically sticking it to the fashion world again in his latest W editorial and in his interview with Newstatesman . "Fashion is such a wank", he says. Yes, but it just feels so good sometimes...

Mars Attacks

Just when you thought alien aesthetics was out Madonna appears on the cover of Out magazine only short of an eye ball antenna. Pun intended | April 2006 issue of Out.

Sell Sell Sell

A certified stoner and party girl Natalia Vodianova is looking angelic on the cover of April edition of Vogue Paris. If we were French Vogue we wouldn't put the girl on the cover unless Calvin Klein Inc payed us.... you know, to sell that cheap-looking Spring 2006 collection.

Which Spring 2006 Look Floats Our Boat

Here are the results of our brilliantly scientific poll: Sailor Chic is the leading choice for F.A.D. readers closely followed by Edwardian Rockstar and 60's Pop. All good choices. So, shame on you if you didn't participate.

Watch The FLY

There's a FLY DVD making loops around town. The legend has it that after you watch it you'll hear the ring and a wet Marc Jacobs will crawl out of your TV screen. So everyone's watching and waiting, watching and waiting. In other words, it's extremely creative, very cool and highly recommended. The Zero Issue of FLY

(Catherine Cushman piece really worked! The one with the Pucci dress was a minute away from a German porno. And the black/white vampire bit you have to watch stoned. Ghukfvin, we really loved him. Thanks guys!)

Quote Of The Day

Bill Maher on America's Next Top Model: "these women seem nice but they are not top models because they aren’t breathtaking beauties, eastern European or 12. Let’s call the show what it really is: A Bunch of Nines Taking Shit From Tyra Banks."

Hilary Rhoda Editorials Hit The Net

The new face of Balenciaga Hilary Rhoda is making serious waves in Europe. And although martians Gemma, Vlada, Sasha and Lily are still standing strong, the question remains: is the fashion world finally coming around to the Brook Shields jaw again? Here, get a load of Hilary and her 1993 style make up. We'll go hide now.

F.A.D. Public Service Announcement

There's a new store on Mercer Street called Nave and they've got some amazing stuff - no kidding. Normally, I wouldn't share such strategically important information with anyone but since I already bought everything I wanted I now can reveal the trade secrets. Thank me later.

Can You See The Buds?

I'm happy to report that men and women in the streets of Manhattan are slowly but surely beginning to undress. The Sartorialist, as usual, documents this process on his highly acclaimed fashion blog . A woman in red | Bleecker Street | by The Sartorialist

Fashionology Makes Our Day

See what a Mario Testino can do to a girl?! Without him she'd look just like any other mall rat from Croydon. A cute little rat though.

Huge thanks goes out to Fashionology!

Rachel Alexander

First she caught our eye at Akiko Ogawa Show in New York. Now she's catwalking in Paris and Milan. It's the F.A.D rising star forecast in action.Rachel Alexander | Miu Miu F/W 2006

Academy Fashion Snore

Oscars sucked: Brokeback lost to C r a s h and Balenciaga lost to Vera Wang. Poor Hollywood sirens obviously have nothing else to wear but the glossy, draped satin dresses. Middle America, I'm sure, was very pleased.

Editorial Genius

April's W owed us a naked Kate Moss to compensate for the grossness of Jessica Simpson on the cover. So, here, have fun. Performance | W April 2006 | by Mert & Marcus
Otherwise it's just another pseudo-provocative "icon's take on another icon" editorial gone hosiery ad which doesn't stop us from enjoying Kate's new curves;

Headless Chic

We see someone has been having fantasies about being tied up and tortured by Donald Rumsfeld at Abu Ghraib prison ... good luck with that. Hat from Vivienne Westwood F/W 2006 collection

Decisions Decisions

Still trying to decide whether these gray tights are going to make me look fat... they are all over the runways along with Vivienne Westwood's gray boots. Ebay's the only way to find out. Guess I'll see ya'll there.
Gray tights - the only decent thing about Stella's Fall '06 collection

You know what I want to look like next season, right?

Royal Humiliation

The seats at the Miu Miu Fall 2006 show are so scarce this season that the editors from Glamour, Elle Girl, and Lucky will not be receiving any tickets while Vogue will get only three. Imagine the ego crisis. I have an ego the size of a hot air baloon too and, let me tell you, that kind of rejection really hurts! Muahaha.
