The F.A.D. Art Consultancy Post

Now that a Richard Prince print goes for $180,000 at Sotheby's in London a Louis Vuitton bag with the artist print seems like steal at mere $2,720. In fact, if used GENTLY, it'll probably cost $5000 the year after... hint hint

We never thought we'd say that...

But Nicky Hilton looks like the hotter sister now... She even reminds me of Giselle--at a certain angle and in sunglasses, mind you, but still--this valley girl actually looks, dare we say, a little "fashion"...

There are many things that are wrong about the Hilton sisters but one thing that gets us is that you never see them wearing anything really nice. If you were 5'10'' and a Hilton heiress would you really show up at events in Ya Ya and Ella Moss? or would you rather wear Rodarte and Pierre Hardy?

Oh Uh. Lily Cole's Full Frontal

Paradis is a French men's magazine but it is worth looking into even for the ladies. The mag's' latest issue also includes a big article on Alaia by none other than the New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn, an interview with the contemporary art poster boy Damien Hirst and a nude portfolio of a pregnant Eva Herzigova. It's a keeper.

Lera Sheremata wears Louboutins to go-sees

Guess who we ran into yesterday? The notoriously naughty Ukrainian model Lera Sheremeta! And my how things have changed since the days of the Odessa throwback puppy purse. Lera was strutting down E17th street in a pair of black suede 6-inch stiletto Louboutins and a black fitted ankle-length coat (looked like something Galliano would dream up ) -- the effect was dazzling considering the girl's already almost 6 feet tall. Whoever Lera was going to see is guaranteed to be blown away.

Spring 08 looks better and better

Just when you thought sweet printed summer dresses have been worn every way possible in comes this Genoa prostitute with tattoos look. We can't help but be inspired. Now we just have to decide how to style something like this without actually getting any tattoos. Hmmm. Evil-looking accessories for sure!

Steven Klein's videos leaked on Youtube

Inspired perhaps by the video glory of English photographer Nick Knight, his American counterpart Steven Klein is doodling with fashion videos as well. We're not sure what the purpose for them might be as they only show up on Youtube and are void of substance but who cares-- they look beyond hot.
