The New Saint Laurent Featuring Icons of 90’s Rock #HeidiSlimane #Photography #Campaign

Saint Laurent recently revamped from the iconic Yves Saint Laurent to….Saint Laurent thanks to creative director Heidi Slimane. (Read more HERE)

With a fashion house this iconic it was a daring decision and perhaps could have been a pitfall. However with a super power in the industry like (Yves) Saint Laurent they refuse to let simple things, such as a change in name, ruin a platinum reputation.

Enter Heidi Slimane. Iconic fashion & music photographer and mad genius. Add Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Ariel Pink of Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. All as mad, strange and beautiful as the new house of Saint Laurent, and Heidi Slimane.

Create a campaign using all of the above rock icon’s from the ’90’s, and you have perfection with side of hardcore only Slimane is keyed into. And one beautiful campaign.

See the new faces of Saint Laurent below as captured by Heidi Slimane.

LeAnn Rimes HIts Fashion Low, Just Made Me #TeamBrandi

Searching through today and yesterday’s news I came across this picture. Supposedly it’s LeAnn Rimes taking Eddie C’s son to his little league game.

And it stopped me cold.

First I would like to say that LeAnn Rimes is looking unrecognizable. Her face has turned into a catastrophe from plastic surgery and sadly, starving herself. I seriously with Eddie Cibrian would step forward and help his withering wife. If she’s going to be a step-mother to his children and he cares AT ALL he will take the time to do something and help her. Obviously this is a moot point.

Now let’s analyze what’s wrong here (besides her starting to look like a cat woman).

The sports long sleeve sweater is fine. If it were paired with ANYTHING else. In the entire world. I could give her a pass but not only is this incredibad, but elf booties? Those were hot on the runway about 2-3 years ago. A passing fad I am thankful most people avoided. The fakin’ vinyl/leather 80’s runner shorts, I have no comment for. They should be burned….immediately. Accessories? A white leather hobo bag and a gold bracelet that go with nothing she is wearing.

The whole thing is just a mess and anyone who has ever had a stylist should know this. Especially LeAnn.

My hope is Brand Glanville grabs her son and takes him away before LeAnn traumatizes him with her terrible fashion sense. Think about the children!

Sweets Jewelry, Carol Lynn Sweet’s and How to Give Back! #Jewelry #Gorgeous #Charity

A classic piece of really nice jewelry can make a woman do anything. Clean. Cook. Melt into putty. Scream and squeal like a dolphin.

Really, we are suckers for that.

Recently I had the honor and luck of meeting Carol Lynn Sweets, of ‘Sweet’s Jewelry‘, at LAFW 2013 in Hollywood.

More like, I jumped her and forced my business card into her face.
I had seen on the runway presenting gorgeous pieces that are sexy, sassy and made of GORGEOUS semi-precious stones. Think pearls, garnet, turquoise and jade to keep you feeling like a queen. No wonder I fell in love with her runway items.
Check out the LAFW runway presentation for Sweet’s Jewelry below,

Is it wrong I want everything on the runway I see?

After speaking extensively to Carol, I found out she is no emerging designer. Sweet’s Jewelry is featured in everything from TV to radio show’s. The list is massive.

A few worth mentioning are; Kick it Spot Radio, BRAVO T.V., MTV Music Video’s, Covergirl Photo Shoot, TMZ, 90210 2.0, PopCon 2012, L.A. Fashion Week, Miss Russia 2013 Swimwear Photo Shoot.

I that isn’t enough, they are on every red carpet in Hollywood including; THE Emmy’s, ITV Awards, various Oscar gifting Suites and the Grammy’s.

Are you feeling the love? You should be. Sweet’s Jewelry is not all about pretty necklaces and rings and things. There is a softer side to her business that makes us at HeathyrWolfe.com love her even more.

In her spare time Carol uses a portion of her profits for philanthropy. Currently Carol supports and raises fund for;

LongBeach Aids Foundation. The Eric Wylde Foundation Children in Guatemala, Shine on Hollywood Magazine Aid for Artists, and Kierrah Foundation Aid for Foster Children.

Carol decided to give back to the community by creating a special area on her site JUST for charity. All the Jewelry sold on the Charity Pages 100% of the Proceeds go directly to the foundation they purchase from.

Michael Brandt manager of Sweets Jewelry presenting Jewelry on world AIDS day to Gary Bowie Chief Executive Officer of the Long Beach AIDS Foundation for their silent auction.

TV, Model Shoot’s, Red Carpet. I’m impressed.

It turn’s out this fashionista/diva need’s to pay closer attention to her accessories. Sweet’s Jewelry is not only well made and gorgeous but obviously THE thing to grab while it’s still available. Why do I say that? Each piece is original and handcrafted.

That’s right, you will be wearing a limited edition/original. Annnnnd yes of course she does custom orders. I’ve already ordered my piece so you better get cracking with your credit card darlings. Where to go to buy? Click the link below and get your’s NOW!

LA Runway at Mansion Hollywood/LA Fashion Week #RunwayReport #Dancers #Singers #HeathyrWolfe

Fashion Week in LA was absolutely well done and gorgeous this year. I did miss some highlights and events, but one must pick and choose very wisely.

‘LA Runway’, event by Parris Harris Entertainment was an excellent choice especially since hey were doing a food drive for the LA Mission’s.

I brought another part of our Fast Lane Magazine editorial team, Rene Rivers with me to the event. One must always have fashionable friends with you. Rene Rivers (StyledbyRene.com) is a stylist, I knew she would enjoy the runway and clothing.

We checked in early so we got to watch run through’s and set up.

It’s always nice to know what you are getting into.

In Los Angeles we’ve had our issues with Fashion Week. This year however was organized and brilliant. In LA we aim to achieve more than NYFW by including the strange, unusual and always unexpected. I’m pleased to say Parris Harris Entertainment really went above and beyond with this show. Although it was a lengthy 4 hours it was worth every minute.

HUGE Thanks to Parris Harris. He seated in the front so we got a really clear view.

Front Diva. It’s what being a Fashion Editor is all about.

The place was packed.

I swear I though people would start swinging from the rafters. It was THAT kind of packed.

We were lucky to here a few kind words from one of the chair of the LA mission who serves over 2,000 meals a day here in Los Angeles to the homeless and needy. This woman is a saint.

After intro’s from the talented Alicia Hardesty & the LA Mission L Runway at Mansion rocked it with sexy Brazilian hitting the runway. Ay Mami!

If anyone ever says LA is boring again I am hiring these girls to come over. They WRECKED the runway.

Other AMAZING performances were by a high energy girl group called The Dolls

A one woman show who gives Lady Gaga a run for her money (somebody email this girls number to me), Spankie Valentine.

Spankie is not only gorgeous but she knows how to work a stage, an audience and bring the music. She’s got talent and style. Obviously influenced by Diva’s like Beyonce, Janet Jackson with a tiny dash of 80’s glam costuming. She’s got sass and flash and is definitely someone to keep an eye and ear on.

Check out pics from her ferosh stage show;

An amazing 9 year old songstress with a BIG voice Rianna

And one of the most talented violinst’s I have ever seen.

The Musicians were top notch and I will be forever grateful I got to see them perform each of their unique talents.

Six designers were featured on the runway throughout the evening. All the designers were amazing my favorites were Camille Wood, Jewelry Designer Carol Lynn Sweet of Sweet Designs and my friend Shekhar Rahate (you still owe me a drink!). I will be doing a piece on Carol’s jewelry line later this week but for now go check out here pieces at;

http://www.sweetsjewelry.com/

For crazy fun and swim/clubwear with some sass look no further than Camille Wood.

Camille has a killer smile, a mass of blond hair and is just all around fun. Her fashion is exactly the same with an addition of fantasy and swimsuits made for killer bodies. She topped them all with elegant and bejeweled headdresses making for a perfect outfit for the modern day Cleopatra. Or ballsy girl who loves to show shes more than the average beach girl.

Shekhar Rahate ended the show with classic beauty. His dresses have been seen on stars and celebrities at The Grammys, Helium Magazine, LA Fashion Week and at NY Fashion Week. The man is a master of his trade and produces nothing short of elegance.

Most of the dresses featured in Shekhar (literally meaning sugar) Rahate’s collection were lean, long and full of feminine grace. Gold hues mixed with Indian prints. Flowers printed silks and cottons were topped with elegant headdresses Definitely the man to go to for a red carpet dress.

Check out his website ShekharRahate.com and the gallery below;

Levi Mastro Art Event presented by @ScionAV

Lucky for us the ultra hip and cool people at Scion AV Have landed on our shores on the left Coast. why? Besides being ridiculously hip and in the know, they represent art, music and fashion at it’s best.

Recently they had an art reception for Urban AV artist Levi Maestro on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood. Maestro moved to LA in hopes of starting a film career.

Maestro showcased his art spanning from 2006, when he came to Los Angeles to 2013. The artists brought out everything from limited edition run jackets, mugs to wall art and framed t-shirts.

Levi was joined by artist such as;

Anwar Carrots, Josh Peas, BJ The Chicago Kid, Dianne Garcia, Dom Kennedy, DJ SourMilk, Eli Reed, Gavin McNeil, George Wayne, Hayley Marie Norman, Javier Nunez, Jeff Staple, Kellen Roland, LEP Bogus Boys, Polyester the Saint, The Mac, Tino, Trashhand

The urbanesque art was really impressive and definitely repping LA proper. Levi is an amazing artist, and it was beyond PACKED. Despite the lack of breathing room everyone left happy, full of food and wine with something they loved (hats, shirts, watches, art), including our crew member Ms. Prince.

I was stuck at home with a brain full of NyQuil in fever land, but HUGE thanks to ScionAV for inviting HeathyrWolfe.com crew to this. We can’t thank ScionAV enough for inviting us to this showing of Levi’s work and talent.

Things to Watch: L.A. Frock Stars on The Smithsonian Channel #Brash #Sass #Fashion #Celebs

I admit that most vices in life I have given up. However there are two things I will never let go of. Chocolate and television. And wine. And….oh blast let’s get back to television.

If you are like me you are addicted to every fashionably interesting show out there. I am still fuming there isn’t more ‘It’s a Brad, Brad, Brad World’ and am addicted to the new show The Face. I’m rooting for Coco seeing as she is sassy and quirky. Well Gods be praised a new show has popped up and it looks fabulous. And it’s set in L.A. which makes me an even bigger fan.

Enter Frock Stars L.A. with the ever wicked and cool owner Doris Raymond, owner of The Way We Wore. One of the hottest vintage shops in L.A. County which dresses some of the hottest celebrities (Adele, Dita Von Tease).

How can I describe the owner? She’s fashionable, savvy and a vintage GODDESS. She knows whats up and down and she should be interesting to watch.

Add a fab staff of vintage divas in the know. Styles and designers they carry and hope to find range from the 1920’s to the 1980’s. And with a constant search for ‘the holy grail’ of vintage, it’s a super win.

Check out the teaser for the show here.

L.A. Frock Stars: Sneak Peek

Premieres March 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Are you watching? I will be.

Punk is NOT Dead! MET Costume Institute Displays Punk Coutoure. #McClaren #Westwood #McQueen #ROCK

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.

Valentine’s Gifties Galore! Erotic Roses or Art for Your Sweetheart #New #Fresh #Sensual

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;

Alber Elbaz Approves! New Lanvin Campaign Editorial Video. #SS2013 #Lanvin

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;

iPhone 5s Stands for Screening. Fingerprint ID lock on the way? #Awesome #Security

Apple rumors are everywhere and there is always something new and cutting edge they have to offer. I-groupies are everywhere and there is no short supply of Apple adoration. Although the Droid dominates the cell phone market in the United States (for now) the new iPhone5s boats a new win. A possible fingerprint scan.

For those that are paranoid about security this is a uber win situation. Who doesn’t want to feel the power of a super spy in the 21st century on their phone. CEO’s and big wigs will adore this when it comes to keeping prying eyes away from their business plans. Karl Lagerfeld’s designs are safe, Wired Mag and Gizmodo can write articles on their phones and you can watch porn at work. Oh wait. Not that last thing. Everything is secure and no one will ever know you are texting your girlfriend(s) ever again.

But what are they drawbacks. iPhones are notoriously known for glitching during your game, texting, social networking and are a constant smudge-phobics nightmare. We still have not mastered the James Bond software. The thumbprint may not register until the 12th time or not at all. Also our full knowledge and perfection for fingerprint scans, not so cutting edge. In security terms. We have a lot to learn.

Check out the Huffington Posts tech geek vid on the pros and cons on this little baby. I find it very insightful.

and aatma’s mock up

iPhone 5s might convert me, but for now I will stick with my trusty Droid.

David Beckham Leaves LA Galaxy, Becomes Face of Breitling

We are terribly sad to see David Beckham go in LA. His last game with L.A. Galaxy will be for the MLS Cup. After that where will he go? Is Beckham settling down with his fab wifey and kids?!

Of course not.

Beckham and his fab abs have gone and become the new face of Breitling time pieces.

I am happy to say we have a editorial video of the shoot for the company. Complete with removal of Beck’s shirt. Thank goodness. This just saved my Monday.

Enjoy the video below!

Last Minute Halloween Rush – Where to Go on Hollywood Boulevard

Oh Halloween. My favorite time of year. Of Course.

It’s a time where every girl is allowed to dress like a slut (see: Mean Girls) and every dude gets to actually dress UP. Kids get free candy, madness ensues at house parties and everyone wins. Also much preparation goes into costuming, unless, you are one of THOSE people. Yes, a last-minute, what am I wearing, kind of guy/gal. I of course have no idea what that is alike as this holiday is religious for me, but just in case….

Two places spring to mind when shopping for last-minute costumes. Bizzy B of Hollywood and Hollywood Toys and Costumes. Bizzy B of Hollywood is at 6548-50 Hollywood Boulevard and Hollywood Toys and Costumes is at 6600 Hollywood Boulevard. A perfect two stop shop.

First stop Bizzy B of Hollywood. This place, I am a little biased with Bizzy B because I have been shopping there for 7 years. My bias is justified. Nicki Minaj’s stylist shops here, there is a huge celeb clientele including Cee Lo AND she has full costumes for girls AND BOYS.

Yes guys can find a costume here. Which is a miracle!

Bizzy B is perfect for full costumes ranging from $15-$100+ depending on what and how intricate and well made. Some are custom-made by Beatrice herself. See below;

Wonder Woman done right!

What about accessories? Bizzy B does have two accessory walls but if you don’t find it there go down the block…..

This is where Hollywood toys and Costumes comes in. Any and every accessory you have ever imagined from hair blaeach/dye/wigs/props/rhinestones/eyelashes/ball & chain/pitchforks/pom poms/tails/stuff to decorate with, THEY HAVE IT! I recently went in to look for pom pom and they had an entire wall of them. As far as accessories on the cheap, they take the cake.

I suppose you want some information? Need to call ahead and see if they have what you need.

Here’s the addresses and phone numbers;
Bizzy B of Hollywood
Address: 6548 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028
Phone: (323) 469-4309

Hollywood Toys and Costumes

McQueen SS 2013 to Start Your Afternoon

Living or dead I will always support the house of McQueen. Before Alexander McQueen committed suicide his work was unparalleled in a world of unique, strange and beautiful designs. Now Sarah Burton has not only kept the world of McQueen alive but has offered a fresh take that fits McQueen’s world like a glove.

This year an elaborate bee themed collection hit the Paris runway with geometric shapes and classic designs reminiscent of the 60’s. Mad Men-esque? Perhaps, but always with a twist of McQueen on top. Well played Sarah Burton.

Chanel SS 2013 For The Win!

We all know Karl Lagerfeld is relentless, superior, eccentric and bit of freak chic. With this years SS 2013 collection on a runway dotted with wind tunnels and eco fab, he is now insurmountable aka no one can bring it like he does.

Recreating the 80’s-90’s with a new and fresh twist Karl Lagerfeld focused on material and recreation of shape for SS 2013. Always an original he crossed pattern with shape making the figure less of a focus and focusing on big, bulky, large and fab! Always an original, he even added a little humor with his own take on obtuse bags, giving the house of Chanel a complete WIN!
