Oi. I just want to eat these. And sleep in them. And wear them everywhere. I don’t mind being the cliche girl who loves and drools over every single thing Alexander McQueen nee Sarah Burton creates. LOVE these heels! Seemingly simple and yet sublimely chic. I want to marry them and make out in dark corners with them (or in them)… Is that too much?
Speaking of fashion drama… Carine Roitfeld‘s new magazine is officially called CR Fashion Book with her handwritten initials scrawled across the cover (see above). The first issue comes out in September published by Fashion Media Group LLC (owned by Stephen Gan who also publishes Visionaire, V, and VMan). It will be published twice a year with the premier issue boasting some serious ad pages (100 ad pages out of 288 editorial, from what the rumor mill is sending out into the universe). Looking forward to lots of naked girls smoking and possibly thinking about Bataille.
Well, it’s official. Raf Simons will replace John Galliano at Dior with his first collection showing during couture in July.

When I was at Bard one of our film professors, Peggy Ahwesh, spent a few classes playing sounds for us, everything from Fluxus to obscure German musicians whose names I will never recall, who curated all kinds of unexpected sounds into works of art for your ears (maybe CAN was even one of them? Only Peggy has that answer…) That combined with listening to punk bands from all corners of the world makes one appreciate The Lost Tapes from CAN. The track above, Millionenspiel, is an edited version of the original track that opens the three CD box set of Continue reading
Inspired by his Spring 2012 collection, Thakoon has done a nail color collaboration with Nars which hits stores and online May 1st. Love the shades, and that mandarin red which will only be available at the Bleecker Street boutique. Thakoon Spring 2012, in stores now, and more shades below… Continue reading
Lena Dunham, the star, writer and director of HBO’s new series “Girls” went to Oberlin so as biased as it may be, I feel confident she speaks to me and every other girl this side of a small liberal arts college education regardless of our age or parent’s lineage (or lack thereof…) The cast of “Girls” reads like a who’s who of East Coast cool parent upbringing: Allison Williams is Brian Williams’ daughter, Jessa Kirke is the daughter of Bad Company drummer Simon Kirk, Zosia Mamet is playwright and film director David’s daughter and Lena Dunham herself is the daughter of artists Laurie Simmons and Carroll Dunham. There is a certain kind of girl that Continue reading
