I know we’re like a fashion blog n’all, and sposed to be making like lists of hyper-inflated fashion garments and unethical jewels ‘n stuff, but I’m just not diggin’ that vibe this Christmas. Lordy, what’s wrong with me, but all I want for Christmas are ridiculous, kitschy, naff and over-priced kitchen appliances. Rubik’s Cubes salt [...]
Have you given in to an Advent Calender? Will you dress in red with subtle shades of green for the whole month? Will you tinsify your jumpers? Speak only in Christmas Carols until December 25th? Cycle in on your reindeer to work? Or perhaps you might sport a pair of these; the most unforgivably ugly [...]
HIDE Shield your eyes from those chest-baring t-shirts. Recoil in horror from those low-slung, skinny jeans (why are his legs skinnier than mine?) Duck from that anti-gravity bouffant. The man jewellery! The guyliner! The garish shirts! The hipster bum! Noel Fielding in a hipster run-off with Justin Bieber. I don’t watch the X-Factor, but I [...]
So Victoria and David Beckham became parents for the fourth time to a baby girl, Harper Seven, just over two weeks ago. I’d say that Harper ‘wan has been inundated with gifts from Hollywood’s Glitterati and is gonna be giving Suri Cruise a run for her money as best dressed mini-sleb. Fashion designers all over [...]
It’s only Week Three and we’ve already seen some amount of drinking, partying and clubbing in the Brit’s version of Jersey Shore-cleverly re-titled, ‘Geordie Shore’. Actually, scrap that. The first episode following Newcastle’s ‘Guido’s’ and ‘Guidette’s’, had enough fake tan, bare flesh, Jagerbombing, jacuzzi-boobing(?-only way I can describe it), smooching, mauling (when smooching borderlines on dangerous bodily [...]
…Only a genie-styled bellytop and some golden curtain tassels of course! Kim Kardashian has, yet again, one-up’d the entire world in the fashion stakes with this splashing jewelled number, fusing, not one, but two shades of flattering stretched satin, with a greatly enhanced bosom, and a cleverly exposed midriff. Her outfit, a result from [...]
So Lorna showed us how to embrace your feline power in her cat woman-inspired shoot last week. But my animal-print obsession is gonna blow that shoot out of the water. Think it may be reaching an extreme level though as I actually went and bought an exact replica of Kat Slaters dressing gown. Oh [...]
WHY OH WHY?! I just don’t understand how we can have people like ClemencePoesy, Zooey Deschanel, Carey Mulligan and dare I say the super-cool, sickeningly on-trend Alexa Chung walking our streets (well.. the much cooler, cleaner and richer streets) and yet so many people chose to follow the style of Cher Lloyd. Yes people I said it. [...]
Yes, it was kinda cool as a first year college student to have a t-shirt with the Muppets or the Care Bears emblazoned on the front. Kinda. Now with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga informing stylistic sensibilities, we have seen an explosion of highly unflattering, cartoon-themed clothing. And it’s Just Not Cool Anymore. Perry has [...]
Now I probably like my interlocking-Cs as much as the next fashion victim but this ‘forehead branding’ is taking things to a whole new (and wholly insane) level. Some dude called Ryan McSorley who is graduating from Central Saint Martins has come up with a headband that can imprint the Chanel logo on your face. [...]
More gunky false eyelashes than you could shake a stick at, chest hair, tight-fitting gold lamé, a whiff of purple rinse about the Cheryl, a stink of desperado-dye about the Louis, utterly and monumentally BIZARRE trousers, mid-life crisis rock star impresarios, Dermot Saville Row’d to the max, a hatATTACK (props, in fairness), some on-the-money deep berry lipstick, some unprecedented KTZ appearances, dead-animal hair pieces, curiously acceptable medallions, an epic fail of 60′s mod eye make-up and a super slick looking Mary from Ballyfermot.
Eh not true on this occasion, the fashion legend himself Karl Lagerfeld, head designer and creative director of Chanel is helping design his own island!!!! Seriously, how bizarre yet insanely fabulous is that?!! The fashion world really never ceases to amaze me… The Isla Moda, a dedicated fashion island, designed in Lagerfeld’s vision is located 20km of the coast of Dubai…
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Agh. Darkness. Cold…so cold. Fffffffffuuuuuggggghhhhhhhh. What’s going on? BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. Oh right, the bloody alarm. Morning. Work. Sleep encrusted eyes. Confusion. Stumble over stuff. Damn stuff. Always in the bloody way. Shower, towel, AGH – too hot. AGH – too cold. Hot, cold, hot, cold. Sud-residue in hair. Who cares? Ok, bra. Knickers. Granny pants – it’s cold outside. Vest. Grey marle jumper.
Australia’s Next Top Model final…oh no.
So, lets not kid ourselves, there are times when our favourite fashion designers not so much get it wrong, but actually threaten the lives of the audience with fashion disasters that have previously resulted in fainting, migraines and projectile vomiting. Here are a few examples of such irresponsible designing. Warning, to all you sequin fans, [...]
Couldn’t let this superb article pass by…Hadley Freeman in the Guardian swooped down on a very real conundrum posed by a homosexual reader. Lest there be any confusion, commentary was made in response to/in the aftermath of/ inspired by Nick Griffin on BBC’s Question Time… Extract: Nick Griffin referred to “militant homosexuals” on Question [...]
