But are the only ones secretly hoping this leads to a reunion with Axl? {E!} Even More Drama: Peter Brant is not having a good week. Things aren’t going so well Read more →

Fall 2009 New York

Narciso, Thoughts

- Wow, with the exception of a few pieces, this is pretty much unwearable for Michelle Obama, but absolutely perfect for anybody looking to rock the body-con thing (or, the black-and-white camouflage that reminds a bit too much of Ben & Jerry’s). – More cut-outs! (see Charlotte Ronson, Behnaz, Ohne Titel, Costello, etc.) Maybe gym Read more →
