dolce and gabanna, in or out?

dolce and gabbana is datchu? well, interview had d&g covered. they had huge puffs and intricate head pieces.

interview: Do you wear only your own clothes?

SG: No. I like to buy different things. [pointing at Domenico] Oh, look at the face. Look, look!

DD: Because he wants to lose money. He’s so rich, he loses his money on other designers.

interview: Which designers do you buy?

SG: Swimwear from Vuitton, an Hermès sweater, this shirt by Pucci . . .

DD: He buys them and then he gives them away because he doesn’t wear them. Sometimes I think he does it just to annoy me.

They're no longer romantically together, but they still "live together."

SG: But we do live together. No, not together, but he lives on one floor and I live on another. I don’t know what he does in the night with his boyfriend. And I don’t care, really.

DD: No, listen to me. Let me tell you about last night. You were supposed to call me. My boyfriend had a fever so he couldn’t go out, and you said, “Ciao. I’ll call you later. We’ll go to dinner.”

SG: And I forgot and I didn’t call him.

DD: And I’m waiting for dinner. Yesterday I didn’t eat, and I told him that. And I waited. And on Saturday night I stayed home because my boyfriend had a fever, and I fell asleep on the sofa in front of the TV, and then I wake up and I hear the noise, boom, boom. I think maybe it’s the air conditioner. I turn off the TV and it’s boom, boom, boom, over my kitchen.

SG: Because Giovanna [Battaglia, erstwhile house model, now a contributing fashion editor at L’Uomo Vogue] was there, dancing like Madonna in the “Give It 2 Me” video.

the afterparty

it was such a terrific and exhausting night! ok. so it was after spoftsfest when the college planned to celebrate its unjoyous victory over other colleges and a defeatful win over BSN's. it was in the infamous quorum bar and faculty and students alike were there. before that, OMG! i was my 'x' and he saw me in a skirt when me and suzy went to buy stuffs. and so it was nice seeing him again! then we waited an hour for our friend's car coz he promised to fetch us. to cut the story there we were in quorum.
jason, chin, joel, suzy and me went in. i saw familiar faces in the dancefloor and on round tables around. i chatted with some college friends and yet greeted others as well. i had one bottle and boofed a whole lot of nicotine! 2 packs! then i unexpectedly saw someone ive been flirting last summer. but im over him. i guess. well. we talked and danced. and then he went on to our place and we talk our hearts out. good thing though that i got to see him before he graduates. he is so manly and gentleman. OMG! i did not just say that! a friend, kin, was so wasted he tripped off the stairs going to the john. as in! he lay flat on the floor and he just shouted and yelled at people! i dont know it it was just him, or the drinks. going back to the 'x' thingy. well, they had to leave because they had to make some arrangements for next week's classes and since they are graduating, they had to do stuffs they themselves know. luckily, his gf wasnt there to sabotage the whole idea! but if otherwise, i would steal his attention just so he looks at me, and talks to me, and whatever. there were 3 basketball men who were there and one of them had me an indescent invite. swear! he was like, 'come here'. and i was like, im fine! control dahling! he was never my cup of cappucino and he will never be. at least i got him there and still have my reputation. if that's the right word to accompany.
my feelings rushed as i saw my someone in the dancefloor. i got jealous and dismayed as to how things were coming to me. he never had the chance to kiss me leaving. and he never mentioned that they are going to 'ice bar'. i mean, i dont care! i really dont!
pip on the other hand was so drunk he barely can walk, or exaggerated! he had his nap at my lap, just a friendly nap and he was kinda puke-y. he told me to rush him to the c.r. and i did. and the next thing was terrible.
i had to end the night, or at least morning with a plate of clubhouse and an iced tea just so i dont sleep empty stomache. suzy's dad came to the rescue and we went straight home. or at least i was planning to go to ice! haha.

dolce's going down?!

is dolce really going down? i mean, in the slimy mud? it appears neiman marcus is pulling D&G from all of its stores. so this will mean one thing, down you go! the troubled company has been on a downward spiral for months now, very quietly, good PR ei!. no more fancy showroom on 5th Ave - now unremarkable digs downtown. no more director of operations for the NY/US office, with no replacement. now it looks like they’re getting pulled, and not just at Neiman, but other major/specialty stores in the US. Watch and wait.





















but there is no confirmation yet. the new fall winter dolce & gabbana sicilia inspired collection, was presented on the 1st day of milano fashion week, with over 70 outfits taken to the runway, the sicilian inspiration was incredibly playboy mention, with quite a number of sleepwear like - hugh hefner style pieces.
















after more than 20 black outfits starting the show (where we saw some very interesting military style jackets), just when you thought its gonna be a black winter, a very nice surprise was showing up of the fuchsia colors, culminating with a bright fuchsia suit worn by sebastian lund (following with the array of white suits). a collection as massive as this is sure to bring lot of Yes and No's but for sure lot of the outfits will change the winter of 2009.10.

dolce's going down?!

the runway and me

the runways were full of surprises as fashion houses all over the world are celebrating its pre fall shows here and there. it doesnt seem right to say that there is such thing as 'global financial crisis' ruffles, assymetry and sheer made them all the way to St. John's A/W 2009-2010 collection.






















or balenciaga's pre fall 2009 collection...





































































but how do i really relate the fashion scene to myself?! well, simple! its complicated. you dont get to say what you wanted and you know how to say it, but you wanted to. it is so distorted. im refering to love! its something that makes people ill. its crazy and unexpected. ive been facing one of the biggest dilemmas of my life. having the guts to say it! but it seems that i am a little overbored to say it...

US Bazzar, you did not?!

omg! america is experiencing a recession or so much so a global financial crisis yet, US bazzar featured sky rocketing prices that were pretty much over the clouds you see. they were over the 4 figured prices, they come in 5's! yes. and the cheapest costs $20,720 for a versace. here are some of them!

Dolce & Gabbana

Jacket alone: $24,750

Salvatore Ferragamo

Gown: $22,000

Yves Saint Laurent

Cage coat: $24,995

Versace

Dress: $20,720

Christian Dior

Gown: $23,090

Balmain

Gown: $24,000

while vogue is pretty much not exceeding to over $5,000, bazaar is so much into over-excessive-super-pricing. except for chanel iman's balenciaga shot!

balenciaga have had enough! madonna for vuitton, enough!

balenciaga's new print ad is so futuristic, might as well call it 'very sci-fi'. yes, it was the face of Elsa that made it super mysertious. she must have inherited mona lisa's. anyway, the overyall ad was pretty picture perfect if you happen to see the shading on the foreground and background. the ad stood for what balenciaga is known for, straight and bold! the contrast of the suit to the stairs was applaudable. this is just for this month! i so cant wait for the other girls in the coming months.

contrary to the ad of balenciaga, vuitton was a bit more distracting even though madonna had it! it was akward, the pose was strange, the fuffled orange monogram undies were a bit annoying! is it a new workout or what? the leg-thigh muscle workout or what have you? but the heels were terrific! they are envious and covetable! so fashionable and so vuitton's fashion!
















now help me count! 1, 2, 3,...

*with up and down motion of the legs! funny!

holland goes naked!

house of holland officially decides to change fashion through nudity. the houe came up with a brilliant idea to have a tee with fashion icons on them but in an explicit way. seriously, who thinks that way! anyway, the designs were so envious i would want to have my own! so far, the shirts are sported by no less than "voted as the 1st most ANNOYING people of 2008". get that! ayness deyn, herself! and it is no joke! she did well with the shots but the polka skirt/short whatever were totally hilarious! i mean, who would want to use uber-polka dresses. here hair was so bob peroxide blonde, and "maybe" the "it" trend for 2009, who knows. only nuclear wintour knows! you can see elbas and galliano naked.

























































































ps. i would confirm... its a polka shirt!

the best and the worst of january fashion magazines

Best Faces - i-D

We can't believe we're saying this, but it looks like eye patches are in. Remember, Rihanna also wore one to the 2008 American Music Awards. The model on the right in the Swarovski face mask makes us want to be a disco ball for Halloween. Maybe that's just us? In any case, screw eye shadow.

Best Diva Clothes - i-D

On the left we have Gareth Pugh, on the right we have Balmain -- two of our favorite lines. It's only a matter of time before Beyonce gets her hands on that Pugh. Here's hoping Britney discovers Balmain in 2009.

Best Nude Portrait - Zoo Germany

World, meet Laura. Laura, meet world. Holy Lolita is right.

Best Dress - Chinese Vogue

Dior Haute Couture. Timeless.

Best Styling - Zoo Germany

On the left is the Alice Dellal of male models in a BOSS Black jacket, Calvin Klein manties, and Dior Shoes. On the right is one of our favorite pieces of the spring 2009 season -- a fringe dress by Jil Sander. Both these images make us a tad uncomfortable, but we love that they make us feel something.

Least Versatile Model - Lydia Hearst in Zoo Germany

The pose-iness of this spread proves Lydia Hearst is only a model because she was a socialite first. Next!

Most Versatile Model - Abbey Lee

Twenty-one-year-old model Abbey Lee looked stunning, and perhaps a little too proper, in a W editorial this month. Then we caught her topless in Alexander Wang shorts and a nose ring in i-D. Go extreme or go to American Vogue, we guess.

Worst Hair - Marie Claire

Bangs were never meant to extend to the ears. Nor look like they'd make a sound if you tapped a knuckle on them.

Worst Shoes - Lucky

We are all for warm footwear that prevents one from slipping in the snow, but we don't like a single shoe on this page. We like sleek, fur-lined boots. Not boots that make it look like you have electrocuted kittens clinging to your ankles.

Hottest Olympic Athlete - Ryan Lochte in GQ

Proof that Ryan Lochte is so much sexier than Michael Phelps. Our only criticism is that he would definitely wear a Speedo on the beach.

Best Gossip Girl Portrait - Penn Badgley in GQ

We couldn't tell this was Terry Richardson's work when we first saw it. But the idea of him taking sexually suggestive pictures of Gossip boy Penn Badgley fills us with delight. The tennis balls, the pie, the confetti --he might not be shirtless, but kudos for not looking as stiff as he usually does.

Most Overdone Set - Glamour

We're sick of the putting-things-in-overgrown-fields-that-don't-belong-there photo-shoot concept. Magazines love to put couches and lamps in an overgrown field with a frizzy-haired model. It's meant to be quirky, but it's become a cliche. Can we kiss this good-bye in 2009?

Hottest Family - German Vogue

Isabeli Fontana posed with her husband and son for German Vogue. They're sickeningly perfect, and thankfully the spread lacks the awkwardness of Brangelina's breast-feeding mess in W.

Best Editorial - Korean Vogue

This editorial in Korean Vogue was one of January's most original. They transformed Asian models into the Supers. Here we see Song Kyung A as Claudia Schiffer and Daul Kim as Linda Evangelista.

Best Girl Fight - Dazed & Confused

Hedi Slimane scouted London's streets for teens to shoot for Dazed & Confused. We feel the angst here. But also, the love.

Worst Celebrity Portrait - Chloe Sevigny in Esquire

Why, Chloe? Why?

Worst Editorial - Elle

We find nothing attractive about this spread in Elle. The model is stylist Masha Orlov, but she's not the reason it came out badly. The styling feels forced, the lighting makes her skin look green, and we have a feeling she'd look prettier without all that awkward makeup.

Best Spring Fashion Preview - Harper's Bazaar

We'd never met a jumpsuit we liked till we saw this bejeweled one by Alexander McQueen. And the Proenza Schouler on the right is giving us heart palpatations. Spring 2009, we need you.

Twiggiest Spread - British Vogue

Karlie Kloss makes like a tree in a "what to wear now" spread in British Vogue. Not only does she look twiggy, she looks like Twiggy in that Chanel number on the left.

i love them all! so best, so worst!

new year treat by lindsay lohan (to pay homage for marilyn monroe)

the sneak peaks. the behind. the nude her! so fetch! this is for new york 2008 issue. bare it all her! i so love her face coz she looked like marilyn.

In 1962, photographer Bert Stern shot a series of photos of Marilyn Monroe that have collectively come to be known as The Last Sitting. Taken during several boozy sessions at the Hotel Bel-Air, the photographs are arguably the most famous images ever captured of Americas most famous actress: Monroe, sleepy-eyed and naked, sips from a Champagne glass, enacts a fan dance of sorts with various diaphanous scarves, romps with erotic playfulness on a bed of white linens. Six weeks after she had posed, Monroe was found dead of an apparent barbiturate overdose.
