LUKA SABBAT AND HIS CLEFT TOE BOOTS

Could NOT resist this photo of Grown-ish star Luka Sabbat, 20, walking down the street in New York, looking adorable. Luka started modeling early on – when he was 15 he did Jimi Hendrix inspired layouts for Vogue and I.D. magazine. (There IS a resemblance) He comes from a family of stylists and designers so it’s no surprise that he’s wearing Martin Margiela cleft toe boots…

KATY PERRY MASH-UP AT THE MET GALA: ALMOST THE WORST DRESSED

Martin Margiela just might be in a twist over Katy Perry’s Maison Margiela dress at the Met Gala, which was custom designed by John Galliano, who took his place. Katy’s gown was the antithesis of Margiela’s fashion theory of shocking simplicity with avant-garde shapes. Galliano’s red dress is gaudy and fussy and loaded with ruffles and straps – resulting in a pleasantly colored shapeless mass. When it comes to designing, Galliano doesn’t make a lot of mistakes, but this is one of them…

JOHN GALLIANO’S SCARY BEFORE AND AFTER REHAB PHOTOS

gallianonow2

When we heard that John Galliano had been hired as creative director for Maison Martin Margiela we were very excited because he is, after all, one of the most ingenius designers alive today, and we have ALWAYS loved Margiela. After that anti-Semitic rant that got him rightfully fired from Dior in 2011, Galliano had extensive rehabilitation treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. And he SOUNDS like a different and more thoughtful person. But when we saw the current photo (upper right) of him released by Margiela with the announcement, we GASPED! Has Galliano had a lobotomy or shock therapy? He looks like an entirely DIFFERENT PERSON! Has he lost his edge? Hopefully, he still has some creativity left.

Kanye west is stealing lady gaga’s look

Inspired by Gaga to increase his influence in the fashion world, Kanye West took the stage at an Atlantic City casino in an all white skirt outfit. During the performance he switched from an elaborate feather mask to a crystal hockey mask – both from the Martin Margiela collection. We wonder how his fellow hip hop singers will react to this style extravagance – will they FINALLY dump their falling- down pants and baseball caps? This could be the start of something big.
