Hi! First time poster. So I love the gypsy/bohemian look... but I want to wear it to work.
Any suggestions as to of what and where to find items that are business casual?

Thanks,
Tiffany

Picture Me: The modeling industry gets some long awaited over-exposure

Jun. 7th, 2009 | 10:20 pm
posted by: [info]horrorvacuii in [info]glamour_autopsy

Lanky, vacant, ethereal, exquisite young things in heavy makeup and clothes that probably cost more than the average house in their native hometown–Runway models are something like the shimmering clothes hangers of the fashion industry, emerging amidst product as a product themselves, complete with unpredictable shelf life.

Sara Ziff’s new documentary, Picture Me, is a by-chance project compiled over her twelve years of experience in the industry, launched at age fourteen, where she cashed in with major campaigns and walked the runway in Chanel Couture. What began as casual documentation with her then-filmmaker boyfriend (Ole Schell) turned into something of an espionage experiment.

The documentary features big names in modeling, photography, and design sharing stories and views on one of the most criminally overlooked behind-the-scenes industries in the world. Models discuss, among other things, the psychological impact of their run-ins with photographers and professionals who want far more than photos, and how such blatant exlpoitation has become as common as the photos that run for print.

Learn more about this inside look at ” living dolls”, which has already garnered a ton of media attention and multiple film festival awards to boot:

Yigal Azrouel Resort 2010: Perfect, perfect, perfect. This is what resort should be right now.

Yigal’s sense of super-luxe is unrivaled this season, from flawlessly draped jersey to structural, dynamic jackets–harmonized by a color palette that’s sophisticated and smooth, punctuated by head-turning splashes of turquoise and navy.

Loving this slow-but-steady increase in headwraps and turbans as casual accessories.  Absolutely deliciousss.

Resort's definitely become the Chanel collection I most look forward to. So fresh & clean & luxe. Also, a sunset fashion show is brilliant - an evening glow makes every model look flawless.

Tim Gunn = Marvel Fashion Wise One

May. 22nd, 2009 | 11:11 am
mood: busy
music: new again - taking back sunday
posted by: [info]lastshotringing in [info]glamour_autopsy



Fun! Marvel comics is releasing a fashion comic named Models Inc. on Aug. 26 starring Tim Gunn. Similar to his role on Project Runway, Tim will act as the "wise one," helping to solve the crime of a young set designer murdered during New York Fashion Week — all while wearing an Iron Man suit! So far, we know Models Inc. will feature three ladies: Millicent Collins (Millie the Model), Patsy Walker (Hellcat), and Spiderman's Mary Jane. Sounds like a fashion paper version of Charlie's Angels.

Counterfeit Chic's New "It" Bag

posted by: [info]lastshotringing in [info]glamour_autopsy



The sidewalks of New York's Soho neighborhood are cluttered with vendors selling copies of bags by Kate Spade and its masculine counterpart, Jack Spade -- often right outside the pair's respective boutiques. Despite new legislation, legal actions, and periodic police raids, urban counterfeits are as persistent as cockroaches.

This spring, however, Jack is fighting back.

To follow up on the brilliant Chanel bike, Karl Lagerfeld gives a whole new meaning to Chanel as a lifestyle brand with the super sleek Chanel guitar. Want one? You're in luck. It's only $3,900! While the inflated price is obviously rooted in the name itself, I'm pretty sure good old uncle Karl had the best-of-the-best craftsmen in the world produce this thing, lest he never sleep again. You know how he is, that wonderful cad. Take a closer look.

Good Morning Internet!

★ Crying model mystery solved! Total anti-climax. I would have made something up just to increase my chances at becoming a household name.

Gareth Pugh's streaming runway debut caused plenty of buzz, but I still have yet to wrap my head around the hype around his line in general. Buzz on, Paris. Did anyone watch it?

★ I cannot think of a better place to put business cards than in a classy little piece of Tiffany Blue. At $65, you might as well!

★ Bleach Back is fantastic for DIY ideas that look hot as opposed to elementary school art project. This is one of my favorites.

★ So, about that war.

★ Karl Lagerfeld + Barbie = ?!

★ This might actually be the hottest Lanvin dress ever. Bold but completely wearable.

Get it girl. We all need one of these for layering in early Spring. Though I encourage hacking something with your scissors over paying half a grand for a chic absense of fabric. Not in this economy, sister.

Winning Designer Quote of the Moment...

“I have 11 million fans [on Facebook], I saw that only Madonna has more than me. It’s lovely. It’s not for the money–believe me, I don’t care. It’s vibrations. I hate drugs, I’ve never used them in my life–never smoked a marijuana cigarette. But my drug is the adrenaline, the vibrations. That’s what makes me love life!” – Roberto Cavalli, explaining his excitement for the new Cavalli Card he’s launching in Milan this week. [Source]

Post-Fashion Week Aloha

Feb. 22nd, 2009 | 12:56 pm
posted by: [info]horrorvacuii in [info]glamour_autopsy

So what'd everyone think about New York fashion week? Fall in love with any new collections? Utterly let down by any old favorites? It was an interesting set of circumstances in New York, with many an alternative to blowing massive funds to show in the tents. You've probably heard all about overbooked "intimate" shows and Betsey's cooking video by now.

Other than the usual coverage, here's a few Fashion Week-esque (and random) things you might like to check out while you're catching up on New York's recession-inspired festivities and diving head first into London.

☆ First - are you following WWD on Twitter? You definitely should be.

★ Designers accused of being a little too DIY with their models' looks. One such designer it-boy, Chris Benz, is judging Fusion 2009 by the way.

☆ Speaking of DIY, this is a project we should all try at least once.

★ High fashion, alcohol, and ice skates? Ford Models thought it was a good idea.

☆ Tao Okamoto's hair inspires bowl cut parade for Phillip Lim.

★ A great pair of pants.

☆ Halle Berry wearing something lovely.

★ I intern at Milly so I have some photos from prep & runway on my blog, here. Also includes the same celebrity sitings everyone else is posting about.

☆ A shirt you probably want to purchase but could probably make for 1/4 the cost.

★ Apparently Top Shop Unique was a hot mess?

☆ Refinery 29 Fashion Week final tweets.

Ciao for now!

Handbags at dawn as designers cut up rough over trousergate

mood: busy
music: the killers
posted by: [info]lastshotringing in [info]glamour_autopsy



It began with a pair of quilted trousers - or maybe two different, though superficially similar, pairs of quilted trousers. But by last night it had developed into the most acidic row to hit the world of fashion for more than 15 years.

Four of the style business's most illustrious names had become involved and at least one fashion journalist was referring to it as "trousergate".

Though the creators of fashion often complain of having their creations ripped off by High Street labels, it is highly unusual for a designer with a global reputation to point a finger at his or her peers. Yet on Sunday evening Giorgio Armani did just that.
