Wake Me Up When September Ends

2008-09-01T14:01:00.005-05:00

The biggest month in fashion produced some of the best and one of the worst covers in fashion history. Some grabbed me for the right reasons...others for the wrong.

Vogue Italia

Vogue Italia features Viktoriya Sasonkina on the cover. I originally thought the cover was boring. However the content is great! Alana Zimmer and Siri Tollerod both have two editorials. It's so vintage inspired. It looks like an issue from the 50's. And the best editorial "Stardust" that features cover star Viktoriya in a Jean Harlow/Bette Davis inspired photoshoot.

Vogue Paris

Anna Selezneva seems to be the rising star in industry right now scoring two major covers in the early stages of her career. I personally prefer her Paris Vogue cover. Her eyes look beautiful and it is a very original cover.

Vogue Russia

I can't say the same about her Vogue Russia cover sadly. She looks cross-eyed and the cover doesn't grab my attention.

Vogue Nippon

Natasha Poly is my new favorite model. She has otherworldy beauty and her cheekbones are to die for. She snagged the September cover of Vogue Nippon. I love the way it looks but Vogue Nippon seems to ruin many of their covers with the font. I only wish that they could have put the title behind Natasha.

Vogue Australia

Vogue Australia didn't do a reprint! I guess we should be happy about that but none the less it is a lovely cover. Abbey Lee looks really good. (Although Demelza should have scored this cover!)

Vogue Espana

Gisele is on the cover of Vogue Espana. Again not a reprint! Gisele is looking good on the cover.

Vogue Deustsch

Leave it to German Vogue to make a mess out of the Rhodabrows. She looks a little...manly. She can rock the thick brows but these are a little too thick. I love the colors and the energy in the picture though.

US Vogue

I didn't think US Vogue's September issue would get worse after Sienna Miller last year. Sadly I was quite wrong. This has got to be one of the worst covers in the history of Vogue! Her hair is a matted down mess and the outfit just isn't working! The editorial was alright but I don't understand why Anna would put Keira on the cover. Her last cover June 2007 was one of the lowest selling issues of the year.

I'm just disappointed in US Vogue. If it isn't Caroline Trentini jumping in every editoria it's a celebrity that gets on my nerves on the cover. September is the most important month of the year in the fashion industry so the cover should reflect it.

Stunning...

2008-09-01T13:37:00.003-05:00

Is the only word that comes to mind when I look at Demelza's Australian Vogue spread. Her face is a dream in those pictures. I'm in awe.
It is so stunning. Her face is amazing. It's sad that Kirstie Clements seems to hate her. I hope this isn't the pinnacle of her career. She has such an amazing face. It would be a shame to waste it.

Did you know that the new season of Project Runway was coming on tomorrow? Of course me, being such a big fan of the show does, but does anyone else? Where are all the ads featuring the bitchy designers saying stuff like "I'm in they're out!" There's a couple but it isn't the same.

They claim it's to keep the identities of the contestants a secret but it's all that Lifetime's fault! Well not really Lifetime it's those Weinstein Brothers! I've always thought that Bravo and Project Runway went together like peanut butter and jelly. They were the perfect fit and the both helped build the other up. Who knows how it will end up after this cycle. They are moving to LA. Tim Gunn is worried! So am I! I always took this show more seriously than other fashion reality tv because they actually showed at New York Fashion Week. It's really no achievement to show at LA Fashion Week. LA fashion week is seriously a joke. Fashion is not Kim Kardashian walking down the runway in a track suit.

And it leaves me asking the question: What will happen to the judges?Will Michael Kors come back? I hope not! ;) But I wonder if he would go judge when his company is based in New York City.
Will Nina come back? She better! She doesn't work at Elle anymore and I've heard she's getting a top position at Marie Claire so who knows?
Tim Gunn is the wild card! Will he stay or go? Of course Klum will come back. I've never understood her role on the show honestly. She's not a fashion connoisseur and she was never really a top fashion model. She doesn't support the designers after the show. Did you see Project Jay? Yeah.

They barley have ads and they are moving the time of the show! Sounds like Bravo is setting the show up for failure! I'm excited though. I'm not selecting favorites till the third episode because everytime I do pre-show favorites they lose!

I don't know if I'll watch it on Lifetime (seriously who watches anything on Lifetime besides Desperate Housewife re-runs and those cheesy made for tv movies?) so this might be my last season...

Oh who am I kidding I'll watch the show forever! It airs tomorrow July 16 at 9 p.m. eastern.

P.S. They will never find another Vanessa Riley! If you don't konw what I mean check out the first season!

Hot Couture

2008-07-11T20:17:00.032-05:00

Paris Couture week was beautiful! Simple, avant garde, and a little crazy are just a few words I would use to describe the wonderful week in fashion.

I'll start off with my favorite Chanel. This was a brilliant collection (although I could've done without the hair). The color palate consisted of a million shades of gray! Everything from pewter to slate. I liked the modern aesthetic. It's a different than the usual black and white, but it works nicely in this collection.

Coco looked amazing in that dress! The back cowl with camellia's is amazing! The second dress is classically elegant and beautiful.And The third dress kind of looks like an upturned umbrella but a fierce one!

It took me a while to like the Dior collection. I did not like it at first, but looking back on it, it had very strong pieces. The collection had a very strong 40's influence with high waisted coats and Claudette Colbert inspired hats. The final look was amazing. The dress is haute couture personified.

Valentino was another amazing show! The new designer Alessandra Facchinetti designed a stunning and modern collection that could have been designed by the grand couturier himself. I loved the structured coats as well as the dresses that flowed freely.

Lacroix was stunning. As he usually he does there was a lot of beautiful heavy fabric and lots of lace detail. My facvorite piece was the little black and yellow dress! Stunning. Vlada looked great as the bride!

Jean Paul Gaultier was interesting. I find myself actually liking these crazy Jetsonesque creations. The collection is very interesting and proves that a little wire goes a long ways! His bride looks like something out of a Star Wars movie! I love it!

Elie Saab was pretty but boring. Not much to say really.

The worst I must say is Givenchy. I thought it was hideous when I first laid eyes on it. Then I grew to like it...but looking at high quality pictures makes everything clearer. I can see the Peruvian inspiration Tisci was aiming for it it all failed. It was too bland. There was nothing really couture about it. And I honestly a single color outfit? Come on!

Thank you to the amazing people at The Fashion Spot for providing these wonderful pictures!

Oh wow...

There are tons of pissed off people in the world! Global crisis? No. Demelza won Australia's Next Top Model! I am very happy but it seems that others aren't! Haters! Demelza you are FIERCE and you keep doing your thang!

I'll be back later for my thoughts on FW Haute Couture and the season finale of Australia's Next Top Model!

Perez Hilton is...

2008-06-27T21:00:00.004-05:00

a life ruiner! He ruins lives! Well not really, but he did ruin one of the models of the moment...Agyness Deyn (I prefer vAgyness or fAgyness).

I will admit I liked Agyness when she emerged on the scene! She stood out in a sea of Sasha's and Gemma's and Heather's. Now I can't stand her. She's so overexposed it's quite annoying. Now I just grown everytime I see her long face

Perez is a funny fellow but some things do not need overexposure. Especially Agyness. She got dropped by Burberry for being too famous. Of course this claim has been denied but come on...we know the truth!

Oh and another complaint stop telling Kate Moss to retire! The bitch in the word of Tyra Banks is FFIERCEEEE! It's not her fault people want to use her for campaigns and put her on the covers of magazines. She can't help it that she's just fierce!

I'm not gonna lie I'm still probably read your blog just don't ever post a picture of Tanya or Coco or any other fierce bitches! (Put a picture of Chanel Iman up tho! hehehehe!)

Here's an open letter from a friend of mine to Perez:

Well Perez, thanks alot for ruining Agyness Deyn's career. We all know once a new band or celebrity is featured on your blog they automatically gain new popularity. And once you featured Ms Deyn on your blog she was dropped by Burberry, losing the campaign because they thought she was over exposed. Now the people who were fans of Agyness and actually bought the magazines she's appeared in and the brands she represented have lost interest in her. Good job Perez, by trying to highten your career you have ruined another's. Stay away from the model subject, you obviously dont have enough knowledge to know what your talking about.

Oh no!

Samantha was eliminated! I am quite unhappy. She was so fierce and pretty. I fear that Alex will win.

Rumor has it that Demelza is ahead in the public vote! Yay! I'm a bit shocked as many Australian media outlets have reported that if Dem were to be in the final two she would not have the support of the public!

I just hope it doesn't play out like it did last year:
A sixteen year old girl with a stunning face yet a bit naive and favored by Johdi.

A fashion girl with knowledge of the industry and style. With a face and body for fashion.

Hopefully not this year! I loved Alice but this year I'm feeling the naive 16 year old! A face like hers doesn't come around so often! And there is something very off putting about Alex. She has style and I will admit the bitch has taken a couple of good photos but I just don't like her. Her Josh Goot loving, lesbian boot wearing behind can go the eff home!

I laughed so hard when Alice dissed her in this weeks episode! She said exactly the same thing I did...there's a million other girls who look just like her and have a better walk. I wonder if she felt the sting of that comment! She said she should win because like Alice she has red hair and is a high fashion girl! Betch puhlease!

Well we find out July 1st who wins! I think I'll be okay if Alex wins. Rooting for you Dem!

3 Girls 1 Title

2008-06-22T14:57:00.006-05:00

Final Three!

It's final three time at Australia's Next Top Model! I am happy with the final three...well mostly. I just don't like Alexandra. She looks like a real model but she is such a liar! In last week's episode the girls had to learn to deal with the media and Alex kept contradicting herself. Does she know how much her words can be misconstrued by the media? It was not wise to call Demelza the fattest and the bitchiest. The judges told her to get her lips done? At least tell plausible lies.

I'm rooting for a Samantha-Demelza Final 2! I absolutely love Demelza! Yeah she can be a bitch but she is only 16 years old and living in an enviroment that is difficult to live in. She's taken really pretty pictures but I don't see her winning. She's been made out to be a bitch because of the bullying incident with Alamela and doesn't have the support of the people (yeah in Australia people actually get a say! How would ANTM be if people got their say?).

Samantha is quite gorgeous! Those eyes! Wow! She started off weak but is finishing off strong! I think she has the biggest chance at winning. However she is on Kirstie Clemens bad list! :( Kirstie is the wannabe Anna Wintour editor-in-chief of Australian Vogue.

You never really know with AustNTM. Or maybe I just can't find any good spoilers!

This would've been my dream AustNTM Final 3!

I never understood the Alyce hate! She was so fierce and her face was so interesting. Oh and poor Caris! I started to like her but her body and height just wouldn't cut it in the modeling world. The final two are revealed in this Tuesday's episode and the winner is chosen in the live finale July 1st!
