Heaven to Hell

We just had to brag that now we have David Lachapelle's new book signed by the artist AND Amanda Lepore! Lachapelle is extremely pleasant to his fans many of whom are apparently German (those naughty Germans!)

Stay Crazy, London

When Marc by Marc show with its Hollywood hangers-on crashed London fashion week last Friday we were worried sick about Gareth Pugh - the maddest designer in entire United Kingdom (and that is no easy feat). What if Marc's loud publicity apparatus overshadows our young deranged genius? But, guess what, it didn't. Some shows are just exciting on their own and not because of Selma Blair's new haircut. That's all.

Which color satin miniskirt do we want more: red, black or purple? Hmmmm.

It's hard out there for a fashion designer.

... as much as we love fashion week, it's been really hard finding runway looks that haven't been already duplicated by Zara, H&M or Forever 21. Fast fashion's so much faster than Michael Kors' and Carolina Herreras of the world ...lucky they make perfume or they'd be dead... In any case, there were a few things that caught our eye... Parkas and satin mini-dresses are must-have, obviously.

No Bruno, but "Romanian socialites" hit fashion week

And they carry a cat.

Marc makes shit collection, gets away with it

Don't be fooled, Marc Jacobs show is a bomb. And this entire "intentionally boring" slant is a total sham. Isn't it obvious that he simply blanked out of ideas, logged on Style.com and hurriedly copied YSL and Miu Miu from last season? Turtlenecks and pencil skirts? What are we now 55?! And, please, stop trying to pass it off to his "weight loss" or "need for pause". If that's the case, we like our Marc Jacobs fat. End of story.

Kate Moss now officially tourist territory

Kate Moss by Corinne Day photographs are at the British National Portrait Gallery - hanging right up there with the Beatles, Elizabeth II and Henry VIII. "This montage of the nine faces of Moss, who has just turned 33, was commissioned by the gallery to be the centrepiece of its new crowd-pulling exhibition, Face of Fashion, opening on February 15." This is what we call making a grand exit. Watch and learn, Lily, Jessica and Freja.
