Who say’s Punk is dead? Not the NY MET Costume Institute. Recently Anna Wintour, Riccardo Tisci and several others put their best punk foot forward at a gala to display a full array of punk wear. Original Vivienne Westwood/Malcolm McClaren, McQueen, Lagerfeld and Galliano’s outfits are displayed in this diverse look at punk influence.
Punk art & street influence began to show its distasteful head in the mid-1970’s and still has a rough handle on the fashion industry to this day. Ricardo Tisci of Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm Mclaren embraced it around 1976 and never looked back. To this day Westwood’s punk influence is still pretty heavy in her collections. You don’t get to be a well-known designer of 30+ years by playing it safe. And punk, has NEVER been safe.
Checkout the display in New York City from the MET evening of Punk.

I love Eva Mendes. She is spunky, sexy, knows how to smile, takes things seriously but not too seriously. She is hot, has curves and is just plain gorgeous.
It makes perfect sense having all these attributes that she would go and start her own fashion line.
According to Women’s Wear Daily, Eva has partnered with NY&Co. Known for their simple and clean work styles, to create some bombshell gorgeous evening wear. It will be called (of course), Eva by Eva Mendes. Nothing like adding star quality and name to your brand.
“This could be significant for us,” said Greg Scott, chief executive officer of New York & Co. “We like to think big. We’ll see how the collection can grow.” Bridesmaid dresses are just one of the opportunities, Scott said.
Eva by Eva Mendes will consist of a large dress component and accessories. “We don’t address day-to-evening and real cocktail looks today,” Scott said. “There will be pants and jeans because that’s what our brand is known for. Eva is excited to pursue that also.”
I’m glad Eva is pursuing casual wear. We need more pants and jeans to fit our curvier girls. My roommate is 24/7 hell trying to find cute jeans to fit her booty. Eva’s style is amazing and she knows how to put something together is always unique with class. CEO Greg Scott of NY&Co. agree’s;
“We want her influence in the collection,” Scott said. “She has amazing red carpet style and also has a very unique style off the red carpet. She has a real sense of self, which will help us in terms of the design aesthetic. When we look at her, she really is confident.”
Hell yes she does. And she’s smart as a whip too.
I’m looking forward to see what miss thing can put together. I think Eva is beyond sexy. Any attire she helps them create will be too. With such a great sense of style, how it not be a win?
Th collection should have quite a few LBD’s and is full of print’s. Worried it’s ANOTHER celebrity brand with no Eva behind it? Ms. Mendes is 150% involved.
Mendes has already participated in a few creative meetings. “The other day, I went to the office with half my closet,” she said. “Part of the fun is coming up with the designs and looking through my closet. There are a lot of prints and lots of color. Black can be very chic and very New York,” but Mendes realized that her wardrobe is comprised mostly of color and prints.
You go sexy bitch!
I’m looking forward to seeing what she can do for the industry. If she can’t do it, no one can.
Look. It’s Rihanna. In a tub. Not doing anything. Still not doing anything. Look it’s Rihanna’s tattoo. Look its—zzzzzz.
Yes we have the new unedited version of Rihanna’s ‘Stay’ With Mikky Ekko. Rihanna is usually mad talented so I thought I would watch it. I even thought hey Michael K. over at Dlisted might just be a little bitchy when it comes to this. Nope. I have to say after the first 15 seconds I started closing my eyes and letting my head fall to one side. Let’s just say ballads are not Riri’s strong point. And the video? It really is….something.
We all know I have BIG love for Lana Del Rey. Despite her odd little lip augmentation fluke, bitch is perfect. Sexy, sultry chanteuse who knows how to work every angle of the camera from near or far. Especially in no pants wearing a pink angora sweater. Add some cool looking retro people and a little man in a swank suit (midget, dwarf? I am so not PC) and we have a win. AGAIN. For H&M. Is there nothing they can’t do these days?
We all know how to work Valentine’s Day for the woman in your life. Chocolate’s, lingerie, card’s, romantic dinners and the favorite, Jewelry. Let’s face it, buying for the woman in your life is easy. Valentine’s Day is 90% geared to the feminine persuasion and we get happy and romantically stupid over the smallest things (see jewelry).
This real question for the ladies. What do you get your boyfriend? A tie (see NO)? A geek toy (they already own it and haven’t told you)? Golfing lessons with Tiger Woods? Ok, he might like that one. Real dedication and love are none of these things ladies. What he really want’s is a date night involving a totally ludicrous, sexual, violent guy flick. And I have just the thing.
Sushi Girl is everything he ever wanted.
Gratuitous violence. Yeah there is plenty of that thanks to Tony Todd, Andy Mackenzie, Sonny Chiba and the most AWESOME Danny Trejo. Sex? A hot Courtney Palm leads as the ‘Sushi Girl’ laid out as myotaimori (a sushi table/girl). Witty Banter? Add Mark Hamill as the toady, simpering and wicked smart Crow. A secret knight in shining armor with a penchant for nose candy, James Duval. And our hero? Fish played by the ever awesome Noah Hathaway.
What happens when you put together a crew of seasoned professionals like Tony Todd who has a masterful career spanning 20+ years, Andy Mackenzie who has been in over 70 film and TV features ( from The Mentalist, CSI, True Blood), Mark Hamill who will forever be known for his awesome portrayal as young Skywalker, James Duval who will forever be Frank the Rabbit from Donnie Darko in my mind and Noah Hathaway who known his portrayal as Atreyu in the Never Ending story?
Mother-effing-magic.
How do I know ‘HE’ will like it? I was lucky enough to catch a screening at the Directors Guild. It made me squeamish, happy, sad and scream bad ass at the end. It’s been called Tarinto-esque and it really is. I’ll describe this feature as a ‘happy slice of hell’.
But why trust me? Check out the trailer here;
So ladies what do we do here in LA for the man we love? Take him to a rocking, socking, blow ’em up, hit you where it counts feature. The great part? It’s at Mann’s Chinese Theater and you can buy tickets online. And guys…if she doesn’t buy it…go now before it’s too late.
What are you waiting for? It’s a limited engagement playing from the 2/8-2/14.
Go buy here.
There comes a times when incredible egos do incredible stunts to be incredibly tacky to incredibly tabloid news. This would be one of them. Oh Kimye, What in Gods name are you doing?
No. Literally. What in Gods name are they doing?
Recently Kim Kardashian and her baby daddy Kanye West went to Rio De Janeiro to explore the wonders of Brazil. While at the ‘Christ the Redeemer’ statue, they decided to pull a trashy tabloid photo for the Brazilian paparazzi. Like only a stunt queen can they posed together as Jesus Christ.
Not only was this in bad taste (hey, it’s Kimye) but also blasphemy Seeing as Kanye has a long history of likening himself to Christ I suppose we shouldn’t be shocked. Annnnnnnd, we’re not.
The reason being is when eg-ho’s this big crash together, OF course they think they are bigger than JC. It’s alright to be disgusted by it. They are clueless and tactless.
This photo proves all of that. Note little boys look of disgust in background and Kanye’s look of herpaderp.
Happy Chinese New Year to the Many wonderful Asians in my life.
This year is the year of the Water Snake which about success, methodical attention to detail and not becoming la-zy. This is a motivational year about focus and continued success and progress. Laziness and complacency are never good during a Snake year so let’s get motivated for a happy year that includes achieving goals above and beyond what you thought you could do.
Here is a lovely synopsis from Hanban.com;
The Overall Trend in 2013 Year of Snake
The 2013 Snake of year has ability to read complicated situation quickly in a controlled manner which is good for business. Signing documents of any kind requires very thorough attention. 2013 horoscope predict it is a good year to begin important detail work. Research and investigation are supported.

Prabal Gurung has stepped out to be a celebrity favorite in recent years. His clothing has something for everyone. From Michelle Obama to red carpet divas, his collection is both surrealistic art and feminine grace.
This year Prabal Gurung has taken the theme of military colors style that we see in so many collection’s and mixed it with draped material that flow against the body. Not forgetting well-placed fur trim, casual sweaters and and classic military chic crossed with with a vintage look of class from the 1940’s. These are apparent in every collection for Fall/Winter 2013. So what makes Prabal Gurung stand out above the many collections we have seen?
He crossed it with his personal touch including; well placed cut outs and the ever influential Gothic element, creating a striking collection. The biggest selling point? His above the knee buckle boots that are to die for.
As Fashion Week in New York begins Jason Wu has stepped forward as one of the first designers to define style for the Fall Winter 2013 season. Wu brought forth a collection that was monochromatic, with dashes of persimmon & varying shades of taupe on classic looks that embodied the late 60’s and 80’s. Flash has been replaced with refined style, a dash of futurism, monochromatic blocking and elongated peplum-skirted figures. Add the accessory of rich fur throughout his collection and overall his women’s collection put it’s best foot forward to start New York Fashion Week out with a proper BANG.
For someone so directly involved in Fashion I have to say I’m obsessed with dude movies. Things that make you squirm, the blowing up of things epic comic book heroes and super robots fighting for peace, justice and planet earth. I also like a bit of snark and witty banter.
Now who here can tell me what possesses all of those thing. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man of course. (This question is rhetorical thanks to the poster above.)
Well unless you were watching the Superbowl this year you missed the epic trailer. Mind you half the known world was, so there is really no excuse. But for the three people who were on a plane, or not in front of a TV for this epic coolness, here it is.
Looks like RDJr/Tony Stark is heading to the DARK SIDE. Vader is totally doing a happy dance right now.
I really have to give props to H&M. They are not only killing the middle market for affordable and damn good-looking clothing, but they are killing it with having David Beckham doing their ad campaign’s. Ad a talented Guy Ritchie making the video and this was a win. Also slightly hilarious.
This campaign video brings us Beckham not only half-nude, but wet in his undies looking….well like David Beckham. I love the Ferris Bueller element and the fact that they threw in a few Hollywood jokes for us In LALALand.
Abs ass and all, This is a sure win for H&M, every blogger, all women kind and of course a very, VERY luck Victoria Beckham.
Thank you David Beckham. The world is a better place because of this.
Check out the gallery below of some of H&M’s shots.
As fashonistas everywhere gear up for NYFW, typing up schedule’s, faxing confirmation and sending last-minute email’s to their besties, the rest of us sad suckers at home are readying ourselves for Valentine’s Day.
Whether it is a day of loathing or a day of joy for you, everyone deserves a little love on February 14th. But what do you get the woman or man who has it all?
A spa day? Not quite in the budget, and last-minute cards and candies from the drug store may get you a slap in the face anyway. Let’s try something different, interesting and slightly sensual and well within our budget.
Handmade erotic roses on a chain a la Sphinx Art.
When I first saw the promotional photos I worried the size was too large (cough).
It turned out to be a dainty and sweet little necklace. Well made, classy and definitely worth owning & wearing. Sweet, petite and a little scandalous. They come in multiple colors (mine is purple) and come in a black sheer bag. Guys don’t worry, this leaves no doubt it’s JEWELRY, not THE ring.
What about your Man? He deserves something sensual and unique.
Erotic art sure to get your man motivated. All art is original and is handmade. It is small enough to find and area to ‘display’ what your hot, sexy and VERY smart GF gave you without scaring guests.
If you stare at it long enough it’s better than Viagra.
There are countless pieces to check out. Find more for your Valentine’s Day special order here;
I love how designers are doing editorial video’s these days. They have canned the hyped-up artistic view and started to get strangely fun and creative.
Take Lanvin’s new campaign video. Although it screams hot, sexy fashion Alber Elbaz decided to have some fun and do a commentary Skype style. Making Lanvin’s new campaign not just luscious preening models, but a little more interesting insight into a creative designers mind.
Check out Lanvin’s New SS2013 Campaign video here;
I swear this had was the most hilarious Superbowl I have watched in recent years. Despite Samsung’s desperate attempt to annoy us to all hell with their ad for the NEW SAMSUNG NOTE II (yeah, we got it, screw you guys), the Superbowl, the Super Beyonce blackout and almost win for the 49ers were awesome. Of course all my chili cheese dogs, queso dip topped with beer were stopped in their tracks and became guilt because of one little advertisement.
The Calvin Klein Concept advertisement with Matthew Terry. Muscles, Abs…..more abs and underwear I wanted to remove. I wanted to hit the gym, drop my Corona, and do my TV screen. Really a damn shame they only ran this once. But that is why I am here to show you the goods.
Good job to the Sales/Marketing department on this one. You guys UBER win. Oh and so does Matt Terry for showing us how it’s done. Watch Below;
With things going the way they have this January, I can only apologize for not filling you in and writing. I do however feel caught up on health and work issues so it’s time for me to dazzle you with something special. With NYFW upon us (the 7-14th) I thought you might need a pre-fashion week fix. Luckily the demi-god designer known as Herve Leger just put his SS2013 designs on sale. And they are beyond amazing.
This years Spring/Summer collection dazzles with geometric shaping. Known primarily for his beyond sexy bandage dresses, Leger always bring something new to the table. Otherwise his collection would not be THE thing to buy and wear. This year he added intensity in geometric shaping to make his dresses have extra emphasis on your body shaping. Turning every woman into a an angular modelesque shape that flatter and make his clothes and accessories as close as you can get to wearing art.
Note the harness and the shaped pants. They really are something out of this world.
This Color mixture is gorgeous and all over SS2013 Runways
Jacklyn Multi Jacquard Dress
This is made for emphasis on a sexy waistline. Flattering for any shape or size.
Yes, it comes in Black as well.
Contoured Waist Belt
And the The amazing piece by far is one of my favorites. The contours, lines with an addition of a flirty skirt make this well worth the money and pre-order.
Vida Passementerie Embroided DressVida Passementerie Embroided Dress Back
My god it really is reminiscent of a piece of Art Nouveau. The lines both swirl and the embroidery delicate. This is modern-day grace.
Unfortunately with a whopping $12,500 dollar tag I may have to wait on buying it. Thankfully this is pre-order custom piece by Monsieur Leger.
Either way everything in this collection is worth buying and dreaming about. And dreams like this in my world, end up in my closet.
