RIP: Daul Kim

Nov. 19th, 2009 | 08:48 pm
posted by: [info]horrorvacuii in [info]glamour_autopsy

“I’m usually very miserable, so I reward myself with a fur coat every year. ”

Model Daul Kim was found dead in Paris this morning, reportedly by suicide. She was only twenty. Her blog, kind of a depressing read even before this news came, is definitely an eerie series of thoughts now.

She questioned the worth of her career as a model and mentioned frequently her loneliness - not bizarre or alarming concerns for a twenty year old jet-setting runway gem, but it's still hard to believe her suffering drove her to such an extent. I had the honor of writing a small post on behalf of the Refinery29 staff for Daul this evening. You can read it here.

The title of this post is a comment that a fan left on her last-ever blog entry. Images from Model Couture.

Christian Louboutin x Barbie ♥

Christian Louboutin has been prancing around Paris with a skinny-ankled girlfriend (some violet named Barbie, maybe you’ve heard of her), and the photoshopped relics of their adventures are the most darling, creative little bi-products I’ve seen born out of the fashion industry in a long time. Have you seeeen?

Erin Wasson in Coppola Film.

Jul. 26th, 2009 | 09:52 pm
posted by: [info]horrorvacuii in [info]glamour_autopsy

So I don't know how many of you are Sophia-Pagans, but Miss Coppola's films are some of my favorites. They satisfy a very female, frilly, victim-of-love portion of my soul that many directors never reach.

Her newest film, Somewhere, just wrapped filming at Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. It features an appearance by model/stylist/Alex Wang's BFF Erin Wasson. According to Refinery 29, her role is so far only known to be that of "Party Girl #1".

Story centers on a bad-boy actor stumbling through a life of excess at the Chateau Marmont. With an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter, he is forced to reexamine his life.

The filmmaker, who said she has been looking to make "an intimate story set in contemporary Los Angeles," received permission to shoot at the hotel, which has become notorious in recent years as a popular address for tabloid-friendly celebs.

Blood Splattered Barney's Windows

Jul. 26th, 2009 | 05:46 pm

Blood Splattered Barney's Windows

Barney's uses the age old idea of what we would or would not be caught dead in for their window display inspiration. Apparently it's okay to be caught dead in Helmut Lang and A.L.C! The windows feature mannequins mid-death scene behind windows splattered with blood. They're positioned inside the threshold display cases rather than on the street, where they would surely be ravaged by angry moms and activists until removed.

Mixing danger and style is always a winning combination when marketing is involved, and while the windows are somewhat hidden, they're garnering plenty of media attention. The display is sleek, clean, and decidedly high fashion for a crime scene in the making.

I say bravo on the execution of this project, no pun intended.

See and read more at Racked.

Out on Their Own, and Making It Work

Jul. 25th, 2009 | 07:16 pm
posted by: [info]horrorvacuii in [info]glamour_autopsy

There was a great article posted in the Times last weekend about young designers making their way through this economy - their frugal tendencies, where they show buyers their collections, what they plan to do to increase orders... all that fun behind the scenes stuff. Prabal Gurung and Joseph Altuzarra are featured.

“I’ve certainly been told who I need to be hanging out with,” Mr. Gurung said one afternoon in his tiny studio apartment on East Fourth Street. Although the place was clean and neat, with room for a bed, a bookcase, a table and an area for fittings, he typically shows his clothes to buyers in an apartment that belongs to a rich friend.

Five or six years ago buyers expected to find a young designer sleeping in a hole next to his fabrics. That’s where they found Miguel Adrover. He had even stopped paying the rent, he was so down and out. Now, though, they expect to see a designer in a luxury apartment he can’t possibly afford.

So Mr. Gurung obliges. That’s the game.

Matthew Williamson Resort & Other Fashion One-off's.

If you haven't checked out Matthew Williamson's Resort 2010 by now, get on it.

A few random fashion updates!

Sasha is illustrating for Chanel - if you've ever seen backstage shots of Sasha Pivovarova sketching away in her brown paper sketchbook you know she has a talent for doodles. Apparently Karl Lagerfeld noticed it too.

★ See Anna Sui's Gossip Girl-inspired collection for Target here. Overall I think it's hideous, might as well be Hot Topic. But I'll let you decide for yourself.

★ Have you been to the MET for "The Model as Muse" exhibit? It's worth checking out if you're in New York this Summer. I'll post some pictures from my recent excursion uptown but for now, an announcement about the fashion-related summer film lineup the MET is also doing! Super exciting.

★ Recall the Nike gladiators everyone was scoffing at not long ago when pictures of them started circulating? Well the Bleach Black ladies have em and they look pretty cute to me.

★ Learn to make Plum Wine Sangria (perfect summer drink, y/y?) here.

★ Other noteworthy things: Galliano is planning to show his Fall 2009 Dior couture collection twice this year due to restraints on space, Chanel Iman is interning at Teen Vogue, and rumors about modifications in Costume Institute's galas to come are flying around now that Vogue's events director has resigned.

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.

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.

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.
