FW09 was the season of the Bad Girl, epitomized by Balmain’s super-short mini dresses and edgy shoulders. Nowadays, the masses are sporting studs, metal hardware, chunky black boots, etc. It’s an overall hardcore look that’s available to purchase everywhere from Barneys to Forever 21. So naturally it’s time for a black backlash. Technically the backlash Read more →

“And new-millennium Balmain has definitely caught the fashion moment, as well as the attention of a whole wide world of bloggers, Tweeters and cyberspace image makers. They see in Mr. Decarnin the vibe of the moment: love it, grab it, own it, have fun with it. MySpace is his space.” –Suzy Menkes in her interesting Read more →
At the Balmain show this morning in Paris, Twitter was again on fire. From Derek “@dizzyblazeberg” Blasberg’s: “‘This is some hooker military shit,’ the stylist next to me observed” and “It’s a slutty sexy tent city over here” to @TheMoment‘s “Savage Balmain! Think G.I. Jane meets Cher! Super sexy- again.” And then we came to Read more →
My Favorite Martian: Daria returned to the runways this morning at Balmain. And apparently, the alien-like beauty of Tanya D. will grace us with its presence once again very soon. We missed your boundless energy backstage in New York, Miss T! {Fashin} LSD’s Burial Outfit?: Apparently it may be a Julian Louie dress. And yes, Read more →

Dear Fashionista, I’ve come to really enjoy browsing Bebe’s website for a daily dose of designer knock offs. They’re so lazy that they don’t even bother tweaking their designs in the slightest (minus cheap fabrics). I’d grown used to their love of the sexier runway bits: sky-high Gucci heels and skintight Balmain minis, but I Read more →

Her team’s uploaded an insane archive, dating back to 1978 when Betsy debuted her namesake label and sent gyrating models down the runway in neon satin dresses Read more →
Here She Is: Vogue‘s smallest September issue in years checks in at 584 pages. Charlize Theron holds down the cover in one of the most unflattering pictures ever. {TFS} Disposable Income: Of all the new things on Net-a-Porter, this $11,255 jumpsuit complete with a drop crotch and sequined bodice actually made us laugh out loud.

We love Wednesdays, not because it’s almost Friday, but because it’s when Net-a-Porter gets new stuff and we can wake up and wonder how the Balmain jackets and Halston mini-dresses sold out before we’ve even had coffee. Today, we almost squealed with glee when we saw these DIY scarf kits. For $85 you get all Read more →
