| PETA pretties September 10, 2007 02:59:44Oh, those kooky PETA people. (Warning: Their site is graphic.) They used to throw fake blood on women wearing fur coats. Then they stood around outside the fashion tents holding fake, dead, skinned animals. Once they sneaked into Oscar de... -[Readmore] |
| Peter Som September 10, 2007 02:35:37The fabrics at Peter Som had more body than the models. Sounds weird? It was a little weird. Some of the fabrics were thick and stiff almost as if they were quilted but they were jacquard. Unusual for spring. Plus... -[Readmore] |

| L.A.M.B is LAME September 9, 2007 01:10:00 Well, she aint no holler back girl - but shes not such a great designer either. Now I should start this post by saying -I am a HUGE Gwen Stefani fan. I love her look, her style, her voice, her band - NO DOUBT.. name it. Im there. I actually flew from NYC to San Diego to see No Doubt in concert. Also, by chance I was in Paris once when they were performing and saw them in a tiny little venue right as the band was blowing up. However, as much as I was dying to love everything that this music rebel offered the fashion world - every time I see her designs its like someone is ripping the needle off the record. rrrrrrripp. Ok, that is an old school reference... I guess its like the CD starts skipping... or the MP3 stops???? You get the point! Her collection is called L.A.M.B. an acronym for Love/Angel/Music/Baby - which I guess describes her personal style - or her personal theory on life?
Most celebrities who decide to be fashion designers are smart enough to hire a designer to help them or partner with them to guide their collection, however it is important to choose wisely. Gwen chose someone who the New York fashion fold knew for years as half of an infamous performance artist duo of Matthu & Zaldy. The two were known as Suzanne Bartschs backup / go go/ creature boys. It was the late 80s and NYC was FUN! Zaldy always had an androgynous look to him and to his designs- very avant-garde club kid. Suzanne has been around since the wild 80s days. She is the mother of all club kids and those who live outside the box. I got to know Suzanne during my Mugler days and it was never dull - that is for sure. Suzanne was also the wife of David Barton. Here is a picture of the two- camping out at home in the Chelsea hotel. Yes, thats the one where Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols killed Nancy! It makes perfect sense for Gwen to be drawn to Zaldy, as she herself is quite punk and definitely not your average girly girl. The trouble is that the clothes look more like costumes than fashion finds. What works in a video or on a runway does not always translate to the street. I think Zaldy is really talented, but his out of this world style is way too much for the serious designer vibe Gwen is shooting for. I hate to say she is taking herself a little too seriously, but I smell a diva. I think Gwen needs a bit more realistic view of what she is creating. Last year on the red carpet, Gwen wore a very over the top ensemble that featured two prominent Gs back to back on her belt buckle. A very earnest tv correspondent wondered out loud "who are you wearing- Gucci?". Gwens smile quickly disappeared as she answered "L.A.M.B. - by me...Gwen". OH! silence... ouch! Sorry Gwen but I do think that little company from Italy does own the whole G logo thing! Im not saying Gwen should not be designing, but lets call it what it is... A nice secondary line that is no major fashion collection. Alongside a Baby Phat, or a Cynthia Rowley - L.A.M.B. looks excellent. However, when you parade these collections on runways that also showcase Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, or Donna Karen - sorry it just doesnt cut it. Let me hear from you if you love L.A.M.B. and think im way off - or if you think Im right on and L.A.M.B. leaves something to be desired. -[Readmore] |

| Wangs Toga Tango (Fashion Wire Daily) September 8, 2007 19:02:00 Fashion Wire Daily - Nonchalant and breezy are not necessarily two adjectives that immediately come to mind when thinking of ancient Rome - structured and regal are more like it, at least when it comes to their empire - but then again, the Romans no doubt knew how to relax amidst villas and olive trees, wrapping themselves in diaphanous folds of cloth.
