Horror in Paris
Viktor and Rolf and Yohji Yamamoto By the looks of the early shows in Paris, inspiration comes from bad horror movies. It is quite disturbing. I was literally afraid to look at some of the images. The makeup for Yohji Yamamoto reminded me of the little girl in The Ring and the entire Undercover show [...]
Fendi’s Runway Accident
I would like to include in our review of Fendi’s show an acknowledgement of the photographers accident, which although took away from the great show, is in and of itself a story that bears our respect. In order to allow front row attendees a comfy experience, they overcrowded the photographer’s stand. The floor collapsed from [...]
Fendi Fall 2006
We love the clean lines, interesting shapes and suprising variety of this action packed collection. The Kaiser was definitely not lacking in inspiration and the brilliance was how he decided to use it all in one showing. There was a hint of military, kimono-esque dresses, modern floral shapes and a little bit of medieval glamour. [...]
Ba-da-bing Gucci
Apparently the hype over the last season of “The Sopranos” has inspired Frida Giannini, head designer of Gucci, to do an entire line devoted to the mafioso wifey and stripper mistress look. There was gold lame everywhere, we had to put on our Tom Ford sunglasses to block out all that tacky shine. We predict [...]

It’s the end of high tech futuristic, straight line designs for Miuccia. We loved it 15 years ago but now the change is welcomed, although our review is mixed. The seriousness of the strong women image is a little 80′s and the fur sleeves with animal print coat is too ‘Clan of the Cave Bears [...]
Armani’s Slouchy Croc
This super fab bag is fresh off the runway in Milan. Who knew Armani’s got it going on in the bag department? I know we go ape shit over every croc bag, but this slouchy bag makes croc wearable for the younger, more casual crowd. This is a classic that will prove to be a [...]
How We Spend $10 Million
How fabulous of the Harrod’s and Barney’s girls at I Am Fashion to come up with this week’s topic for the Carnivale of Couture. We will start out with bags of course, the first being the diamond croc Birkin, at $80,000 even we don’t own this. Let’s throw in a couple of Kelly’s and the [...]
All about Chloe
