I think what this shows is how influential Chanel really was/is. Every time I've been to a thrift shop, I've found a million quilted bags, which all have their roots in Chanel. I think Chanel's reach was so big that it changed the lexicon of fashion. That said, I'd still rather buy the real thing.

I think he epitomizes the dangerous hot guy thing. I think it's also a nod to the over sexuality of Tom Ford's Guccid days. I'm all about it! I just hope they don't muddle the ads with a bunch clothes.

I'm not going to lie. When I had no money, was younger, and didn't know anything about fashion, I bought fakes. It's so tempting. There, for less than twenty bucks, the current disposable trend. Especially when you have no idea where the money is going, or where the merchandise comes from. I'm definitely tuning in!

Does it come off to anyone else as a little random? And the fact that she's all about the read-to-wear seems weird to me too. However, Givenchy's latest ready-to-wear was superior to his haute couture collection. Still, it seems a little random. However, the clothes are working with her new sad-woman-who-can't-quite-hide-her-longing look for Hard Candy.

No one was as much a superhero as they could have been. I loved Anna's dress. She looked like an extra from The Little Mermaid musical. :) Allegra Versace looks exactly like Audrina from The Hills to me. Kate looked great, as usual, but I'm not sure if her look, or anyone's for that matter, was daring enough.

You have to admit, that he has a niche audience. Folks trolling strip malls in the valley won't recognize him at all, which means they won't buy the GAP clothes trying to emulate his life. It's all about the bottom line. Frankly, it's a shame, because more people should know about him and the quirky take he has on his position in the fashion world. Also, he's pretty damn hot.

Headbands are totally tough. I was watching the fantasy cake challenge on the Food Network last night (I know. I'm a dork. Sue me) and one of the judges had a black and gold velvet swirl of a thing no her head. It looked like she was reject from the Ren Fair. Also, at a club last Friday, this chick had a piece of ribbon tied in her hair. It looked like she fell head first into a kid's birthday party. Not as bad as the lady from the Food Network, but sheesh. I think only Carrie Bradshaw can get away with headbands.

I really love Erin O'Conner! And like that's exactly what American girls sound like. I forget how much I say like until I meet a British person. Get over it gues tat 10:39AM.

Her existence is such a mystery, and yet lots of people care. People want to figure out who she really is. It's marketing genius. Even though we all in the blogosphere call absurdity, we are still talking about her.

No, it really isn't. Ouch, they're a hot mess. They look like they fell into a hedge. Although, I do have to say that their looks are consistent. :)

Net-a-porter does the "someone has to sign for it" thing when they deliver packages. It can be kind of annoying when you're at work all day.

I see exactly what you are saying. I think she'd be perfect for the new lace getups at Prada, but I am not sure if I see her at Miu Miu. It will probably be great, but I am a bit skeptical.

I totally agree with the guest at 9:54. If it were James Franco or someone like that, ok. But, he is so weird looking. I get the feeling that he might be kind of a d-bag too. Not that James Franco isn't, but at least he's hotter, which is really all that matters.

Brilliant. But, let's face it, if you don't own these shoes, you are kind of a loser.

Entry: Conde Pays Sean Avery

I know exactly how you feel Natalie. I did two internships, one with Conde, the other with a smaller publisher here in California. The one for Conde was in London, and let me tell you, they did not pay for my plane ticket or my hotel for the weeks I was there. Nor did they pay for taxis when I had to pick up editors' dry cleaning, lunch, or take clothes back from photo shoots. At the internship here in Los Angeles, they didn't pay for my parking in the building, so i had to take my chances parking on the street, which was metered, and run down every two hours to move it. About six parking tickets later, I was hout a couple hundred bucks. Oh, plus the gas. But of course, when you're a desperate kid looking for jobs in the "fabulous" magazine world, you do it. It all seems a little ridiculous, all this about Sean Avery. He's probably letting Hamish Bowles blow him.
