Deee-lite’s Groove is in the heart. We’re so harlequin right now!
And as always, here are our favorite thingies online this week:
Schmashion gets cultured, Vivienne Westwood style.
Trendinista claims that Zubab pants are making a comeback. Ay!
Trashbag Aesthetics has the Monkey Claw 2008 collection.
Leggings jump the shark at Fashion Binge. Ah, Pinky Tuskadero.
Have you heard about this? Apparently, 17-year old Ali Michael, a runway model who had a lot of success during previous fashion week seasons, can’t get work now because she gained 5 pounds. Well, that’s at least what her mother is claiming in the Wall Street Journal.
There she is above at the John Galliano show in spring 2008. And here’s she is now after slopping on the weight, at Yohji Yamamoto in Paris recently:
Yohji practically has her in a muumuu! Yeah, what a porker!
Lot’s of people agree that this skinny model thing is getting out of hand, including Nina Gaaaarcia, who thinks the models are getting skinnier and skinnier. Even the Parisians are freaking out:
“If you look at the girls, they are not beautiful like models were 20 years ago,” says Jimmy Pihet, spokesman for the Federation Française de la Couture, which oversees Paris fashion shows. “The girls are thin, they have strange faces. … At first, you look at them and you’re not sure if they’re beautiful or disgusting.”

Okay, these dumb, impractical shoes need to stop already! WTF? Why do we need to experiment with physical balance? Are the designers teaching us to see thing from a new perspective? Duh, okay we get it, we’ll change, whatever we have to do! Just let us walk on physically possible shoes.
Hey, Briton Antonio Berardi, experiment on men for once. God!
