Fashion Week

ITALIAN MENSWEAR IS SUDDENLY A LOT MORE PLAYFUL

Some fashion shows are impossible to resist. Milan is presenting their menswear collections and the competition to be most original and edgy is at an all-time HIGH. Here’s an example of Magliano’s fall and winter 2020 collection for men! The not-so-typical model is wearing a framed painting on a chain around his neck and gloves attached to his belt. Note the strange waistline on the pants. Fun to look at.. It seems Milan is trying to catch up to Japanese fashion…

Celine Dion Fashion Fashion Week

CELINE DION’S PERSONAL FASHION SHOW

It’s Paris Couture Week again, and that means Celine Dion is likely to show up with her stylist and trunks full of outrageous and slightly goofy fashions. Celine is photographed in a different outfit every time she walks out of her fancy Paris hotel, which is several times a day. Perhaps she is being paid for this highly photogenic fashion display. (We wish Celine would bring her hair stylist along to Paris, because that tight bun is not particularly flattering to her slender face.) Today she’s wearing a navy and white jacket with a fluffy yellow mini skirt and custom three tone shoes. Celine’s timing is perfect – she’s also in the middle of her European tour.

Facetasm Fashion Fashion Collaboration Fashion Week

JAPANESE BRAND FACETASM: LEVI’S WITH A TWIST

The men’s Spring/Summer collections are on the Paris runways and we were transfixed by an unfamiliar brand –Facetasm. Designer Hiromichi Ochiai’s collection was described as “unfinished completion.” The Japanese brand collaborated with Levi’s 501s and came up with a capsule collection of denim – and amazing trucker jackets. Smart move for Levi’s. All the models on the runway wore the same black lipstick and white wigs covering their faces so the audience wouldn’t be distracted from the fashion. In fact, you could barely tell male models from female. We think Japan is the new fashion capital of the world…

Fashion Week Red Carpet Streetstyle

WHO BUYS RED CARPET GOWNS, ANYWAY?

Just as we predicted, haute couture is on its last legs as Street Fashion barges to the front, and it’s ABOUT TIME! London Fashion Week had the usual runway shows, but they made a big deal out of Streetstyle Fashion (logically shown on the streets.) Designers like Vivienne Westwood, Roland Mouret, and Burberry presented their casual collections along with street smart up-and-coming designers. With Prada, Gucci, etc making so much money on distressed jeans, athletic wear, and sneakers – are red carpet gowns the dinosaurs of the fashion business?

Blonde Fashion Week Lookin' Good! Olivia Wilde

OLIVIA WILDE HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER

Olivia Wilde is in New York enjoying fashion week and she looks as good as any of the models! We were surprised to learn that Olivia is a natural blonde and she has always darkened her hair because she “felt more like a brunette.” As a blonde, she claims, people assumed she wasn’t very smart. She was smart enough to marry SNL comic Jason Sudeikis eight years ago , and they have two children.

Fashion Week Kaia Gerber Milan

KAIA GERBER IS ALREADY A BIG MONEY-MAKER

Kaia Gerber, 16, already looks like an old pro as she is escorted into the Alberta Ferretti show at Fashion Week in in Milan. Last year her mother Cindy Crawford did the Milan shows with her, but this year she’s on her own. Almost alone – she arrived in Milan with a friend. Kaia was such a hit on all the runways last year that she’s been invited back to do a lot of shows. With print jobs and so many Fashion Weeks in so many cities, she’s earning quite a bit of money for a high school Junior. Hopefully she won’t be too distracted to go to college…

Anna Wintour Fashion Week Queen Elizabeth

QUEEN ELIZABETH AND ANNA WINTOUR AGREE ON ONE THING

Here’s someone we never thought we’d see sitting in the front row at London Fashion Week! Queen Elizabeth got all dolled up for her foray into the fashion world. Actually she made a speech about the importance of new young designer talent and the economy. We can only IMAGINE the competition to sit next to the Queen. Anna Wintour may have pulled some strings. We wonder what they talked about…they have something in common – they both found a hairstyle they like and stick to it!

Fashion Week Kim Kardashian Paris Slut Walk 2016

KIM KARDASHIAN OUTSLUT-WALKED AMBER ROSE

Kim Kardashian proved you don’t have to take part in the Slut Walk to look like one. While the Amber Rose event took place in LA, Kim was giving Fashion Week Parisians an eyeful when she went out to dinner with her family. Kanye West is apparently very busy dreaming up new ways for his wife to expose herself, and he’s outdone himself this time around. (Coincidentally or not, Kanye used to dress his then-girlfriend Amber Rose also) We wonder what the French fashion writers will say about THIS dinner outfit. Is she giving America a bad name?

Fashion Week Paris Selena Gomez

SELENA GOMEZ GIVES PARIS SOMETHING TO LOOK AT

They don’t make ‘em any cuter than Selena Gomez, but she never seems to be as happy as she SHOULD be. But she keeps busy. She arrived in Paris for Fashion Week yesterday and she’s already been trapped in an elevator and had a wardrobe malfunction. Paris journalists are delighted to see that Selena has been changing her clothes four times a day. Her love life should be amazing but she seems to be haunted by her past relationship with Justin Beieber.

Chanel Fashion Week Jada Pinkett Smith Willow Smith

JADA AND WILLOW SMITH ARE MAD FOR CHANEL

Look who’s in the front row at the Chanel show in Paris! It’s Jada Pinkett Smith and her daughter Willow, who’s fifteen now. It’s hard to believe Willow released her hit “Whip My Hair” six years ago. Jada looks very fashionable with her sleek bobbed hair and Willow obviously LOVES fashion – she’s wearing a stretchy jumpsuit with Karl Lagerfeld’s favorite gloves, Chanel boots, and her nose ring.
