Ah, a Real Life Super Model. Look, it’s Christie Turlington for Chanel!
Sigh. Just look at her. Isn’t it so nice to see a woman in a fashion ad? Not to say that Christie Turlington is a “real” woman, but still, she’s also not an emeciated baby waif either. And that’s refreshing.
Despite a lot of evidence otherwise, I’m hoping that fashion is about to enter a woman phase. I think Agyness Deyn is an indication of that since, while she’s still super-thin and boyish, her look isn’t childish.
We’ll see.

Andy Rooney Talks Fashion
I torture myself with Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes every Sunday. I mostly hate what he says because it’s usually all complainy and obvious, but last night was different. This week, Andy whined about fashion, and it was hilarious.
Here are some of the things he commented on:
“This is for something called the Armani Code. Nevermind the Armani, she’s certainly going to be cold if she goes out in this.”
“What do you think this ad is trying to sell? Women’s hats maybe? No. She’s pushing a perfume called Flower Bomb. No one wants to be bombed with perfume.”
“…Kwiat is jewelry. She’s got an earring hanging there, but I wish she’s take the hair out of her eyes before they took this picture.”
Hilarity!
Rooney also showed a picture from some fashion spread that included a turban-wearing model. It totally grossed him out: “This is the least attractive ad in these magazines. She looks as though she just got out of the shower and still has a towel wrapped around her head.”
Oh, Andy. Welcome to the my universe.

Subversive for Target and a first ever show at Cipriani= a good month for Justin Giunta
As you may know, Subversive for Target hits stores on Sunday, March 23rd. This is one of Target’s latest designer collaborations with Subversive jewelry designer Justin Giunta. Considering the collection’s prices, I’d have to say Giunta did a great job mimicking the amazing mixed media pieces he has produced for Subversive.
Here are a few of the Subversive for Target pieces:
Each $49.99 or $59.99
… And a few pieces from Subversive:
Each between $552.00 and$1800
Not bad, huh?!
…. In the mean time, Style.com reports today that Mr. Giunta had his first ever Subversive show at NY’s Cipriani. The latest collection includes beautifully executed bibs full of ethnic inspiration.

Enticing materials, tons of color, and over-sized. This is how we at threadtrend like our accessories. We’ve always been on the Subversive Cheer Squad. Way to “subvert” the jewelry norms Justin Giunta. Looks like there are great times ahead!!
