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.
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;
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.
Mo&Co. from China creating a niche in the Fashion Market.
I love starting back with a good bang. So let’s post something….bangable? Freja Beha and Mo & Co recently collaborated with Karim Sadli creating a fashion video that will blow your mind AND make you buy their clothes.
After all how can you go wrong with a Mo & Co.’s mod rocker pants, stills of cool masks and a rock star like Freja Bheja.
Tis the season for Fashion Editorial video’s and our Fashion House today is Burberry. Stylish, classic chic with an amazing brand image. Who doesn’t think about that perfect plaid when Burberry is mentioned?
It also makes me think of trench’s and English tea. And how Victoria Beckham was banned from wearing Burberry a few years ago because it was ‘trashy, not classy’ on her.
Well payback is a bitch and we love it. The best revenge is living well and having gorgeous children. Right Victoria?
Not only did Victoria turn her life around BUT she married David Beckham and had kids.
Cute ones. So cute…..Romeo Beckham is now working as a model. And he just got his first job. Working FOR Burberry.
I love irony. It’s just wicked and funny. Also makes for great blogging!
All things said and done, Burberry and the Beckham’s mended things and are working together. So glad the Big B and the Big V aren’t in a bitch fight anymore.

Hurricane Sandy has unfortunately, in a very real way, destroyed and crippled much of NYC. As the National Guard has been sent out to save the day, seems they needed saving.
By Victoria’s Secret.
As the 69th Infantry (yes that is a real number)National Guard powered up to save lives Monday, their power went down.
We ❤ the National Guard, 69th Infantry
Not so far away Victoria’s Secret had 8 generators helping them get ready for their infamous bedazzled, sparkling boobies of 2012, fashion show. According to my darlings over at the Wired Magazine;
According to Wired, the troops called up the Victoria’s Secret camp Tuesday morning, and, by 7pm that night, the armory was powered and ready to go.
“We were dead in the water until Victoria’s Secret showed up,” Capt. Brendan Gendron, the Regiment’s operations officer, told Wired.
How about that for saving the world? Thanks to Victoria’s Secret, they had power, warmth, elevators and all around warm fuzzy feelings towards boobies.
According to the Huff Post Online, Victoria’s Secret took their NYC/National Guard love even further,
Victoria’s Secret came to the rescue yet again. This time, they helped the troops and the Federal Emergency Management Agency by providing a forklift that would be used to efficiently distribute food.
Awww, gosh darnit. Only in the US would boobies save a hurricane ravaged city AND the National Guard with extra power and heavy machinery. That’s too touching.
This is better than a basket full of puppies. I love muh country.
Thanks Vic’s Secret, and the 69th Infantry. We Salute You!
Die Antwoord must be taking the best drugs on the planet. Their music an ass shaking trip, filled with terrifying pitches, south African rap w/ a side of crunk via Ninja and references to tiny, but fab bootie by Yo-Landi Vi$$er.
And their videos…50 times weirder.
Envision a mockery of Lady Gaga in a meat dress on a South Africa on a tour bus. Then add a dash of black face with yellow eyes. Lions, panthers, a KK-almost K man banging on a steel drum, and Lady Gaga giving birth to a bug in side street dentist/gyno shop.
Yeah words cannot describe this video. REALLY. They cannot.
Enjoy your daily dose of liquid acid and Lindsay Lohan blood. This shit is out of control.
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.

I am a Michael Antonio Shoes fan girl. For a long time I have been wearing, toting and secretly adoring their shoes. I love the style, grace, comfort and sexy they bring to my petite feet. Quite possibly, I dream of Michael Antonio shoes, because they are not only wonderful to wear but a late night fantasy (shhh it’s my dirty little secret).
Michael Antonio Buckled Heels
Maggie Barry is a creative genius, bringing imagination to life. Her clothing has been worn by stars who walk on air and want art in fashion as much as she does. She created Cher’s famous leather thong outfit from her ‘Turn Back Time’ video and she works, and plays with such famous names as Lady Gaga, Miss J. Alexander (ANTM) and uses singer and model Morganne Picard as her spokesmodel for her brand.

LA Fashion Week on Monday, October 15th was a visual collaboration brought together by both of these artists & designers to create a step away from traditional fashion to bring Fashion fusion/footwear to life for Maggie Barry and Michael Antonio’s SS 2013 show in downtown’s nightspot, Exchange LA.
This brought designers, stylists, fashionistas, actors, actresses, fashion/event photographer, trend watchers and the artistic diva’s of the night out.
I ran into Eric of Prep Jerks whose business as a stylist and fashion forward man is booming. Keep an eye on him here http://www.prepjerks.com. He’s got a taste for business, design and fashion that is unparalleled. Go Prep Jerks!
The collection was stunning, eclectic, bright, beautiful, unique and I loved every moment. I ran into friends (Vikki Lizzie, Sabrini Paridisi) saw a freak chic ladies from acting (Bai Ling, Phoebe Price) and loved the sleek futuristic runway clothing and shoes. From the flash to atmospheric after party, this event was a win/win.
Let’s take a look at who and what showed up,
A very HUGE thank you to Bob Degadillo for use of his photos!! He always makes me look gorgeousThe very gorgeous other redhead, Phoebe Price #goteamginger, Photo by Bob DegadilloSabrina Paridisi and I. Pale and tan beauties. Photo by Bob DegadilloWhen dressing for a fashion show, remember shoes do get photographed. My shoes and Sabrina’s. Photo by Bob Degadillo.Yes men dressed well too. Kilt’s are ALWAY in.Showing shoes to Eric of Prep Jerks. Available at Bizzy B of Hollywood.Loved her outfit, classic black with perfect bow topper.This is how to steal the show. Greatest hat I have ever seen as well. unfortunately it’s a New York city one-of-a-kind find. Sorry ladies.Best guys to party with. Over bar the bar these guys were cracking me up.LA girlsPacked!The most fabulous jacket there. Missing in photo, the sequins attached to this were iridescent.The show ended with a giant dancing orb
The show tapped into an amazing visual of light with a cross of adult animation come to life. Think Aeon Flux done right. I have to commend and recommend checking out Maggie Barry for those who haven’t seen her art and fashion. The woman is beyond a visionary.
Check out the runway video below (I was in an uncomfortable position making, however it somehow made great footage).
Vendors and fashionista’s it is now your time to pre-order and or drool copiously. I bring you the SS 2013 collection lookbook from Adolfo Sanchez Fashion titled, ‘A Rose in the Jungle”.
I adore the Deep V dress ‘Rilli Nutri’. Being tiny I cannot say no to a deep V. The ‘Amori Coral’ jacket is perfect with everything from jeans to your flashiest LBD. It includes a vibrant coral color and a classic style so you aren’t over dressed, but well-dressed.
As always Adolfo Sanchez remains a favorite for unique designs and courageous fashion that leaps off the runway and digital page.
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!
Let’s take a look shall we;
(Forgive the late posting darlings, I am felled by the evilest of fever flu’s. If I don’t make sense chalk it up to my fever of 100 F)
I admit I am a huge fan of 80’s music. All things one hit wonder I have on my iPod and of course I am a ridiculous Bowie fan. I am also a HUGE Jean Paul Gaultier fan.
When these two things coincide and come together we have JPG’s SS 2013 collection.
This season he conquered eccentric costume clothing for SS 2013 and took the 80’s back. Jean Paul Gaultier re-created something that was both an homage and a new look at an old glamorous style with geometric shapes, sheer clothing and dashes of monochromatic mixed with blinding and beautiful color prints.
As usual he conquered Paris Fashion Week SS 2013 with everything Gaultier. With KISS in the front row causing quite a stir he started the show with fierce 80’s inspired suits, complete with sexy cut outs and ending with Amanda Lear and a cavalcade of sexy man beasts in mesh outfits sporting sky-high platform heels (not boots, heels).
Her background started as a holy hell raiser in church choir, moved into the world of mega modeling and then mixed the two for a righteous rock career.
I have to say this girl is a winner.
If you love a little something country, a whole lotta rock n roll and a sexy vixen she’s your girl. Lana Del Rey better watch her sexy siren status cause Ivy Levan is coming to steal it and can even rock to boot. Not to mention her style is slick sexy. Me-ow.
She’s got something for girls and boys too. Check out this hot video ‘C.R.E.A.M.’ with new and delish dish singer, Ivy Levan.
