Miu Miaw

I'm back! Sorry I haven't posted for such a long time, got very busy with all the uni deadlines etc. Look what I found while browsing the Miu Miu spring/summer collection! I looooove the silk cat print on these shoes but the actual shape of the shoes is a different story. Personally, I wouldn't wear this (ok maybe the second ones because they're mary-janes) and I think Miuccia should have designed a sexier version of these using the same textile. These look like something a hippy kid would wear don't they? And notice the horrible clogs popping out left and right! I even saw them in a Zara window display. Oh no.

Love at first sight

I'm in love with these Viktor & Rolf shoes from the s/s collection. Inspired by lingerie, according to the designers and they look absolutely gorgeous on feet. I'm a size 6 if anyone wants to get me a gift. Ahhhhhhh.....

New LV Rubbish

Yes, the new Raindrop Besace bag is here and yes, it does look like a bin liner. When i first saw it I thought that it's a very big diss from Marc Jacob's side to design something like this under the Louis Vuitton brand. After all, isn't LV synonymous with class and luxury? But then I kind of digested it and thought that it's actually really clever. Maybe I'm just trying to find a "deep meaning" in everything, but I see this as a critique of today's society, the fact that we would spend a grand (yes, that's the price) for something that literally looks like trash. Why? Because it's Louis baby and by getting it we will feel prettier/richer/sexier/better/fashionable the moment we may be none of those. The extent to which LV brand has become commercialised is ridiculous and the obsession to put the monogram pattern on everything has resulted in this anti-fashion. I may be wrong. This is purely my interpretation, but if this was the actual concept behind this, then i take my hat off Mr Jacobs. I'll be enjoying looking out for idiots who will buy this. Oh, and it's waterproof (yay).

Chanel clogs

Alexa Chung is on the cover of this month's Vogue. Can somebody please tell me what the fuss is about? I don't think she's a fashion icon and I DEFINITELY don't like her hair (apparently she got an award for having the best hairstyle or something). It always looks looks like she's been dragged through a bush backwards. Anyways...She was seen wearing the Chanel clogs at the S/S fashion show and on the Vogue cover and baboom....its the new "It" shoe. I think this is just a one-season trend that won't last long. And how uncomfortable do they look?? They belong in the same category as Crocs and Birkenstock because they all have something similar about them (and I don't care how comfortable they are, they are u.g.l.y.)

Couture for Cats?????

I just found out that Jean Paul Gaultier is planning to launch a couture line for cats!!! Apparently he's disappointed in the way that people are taking fashion for granted so he decided to slightly change his clientele. He had apparently already tried dressing his cat in a corset which was not very successful. I can tell you, as a person who had cats my whole life, that it won't work!!! Maybe some dogs would put up with it, but cats will let u know EXACTLY what they think. My only successful attempt of dressing up my cat was putting a Santa hat on her head and she clearly didn't like it. So, I think it's better to just stick to humans for now, Mr. Gaultier.

The Grammies

Ok, I know that this blog is starting to resemble a Lady Gaga fan site, but it's just that I love her so much and I think she IS fashion. She is a true visionary and at first everyone slagged her off but now every designer wants to dress her. So Mr. Armani had the honour of dressing her for the Grammies and here are the images. The outfits are by Armani Prive' and the hat is by Philip Treacy. And by the way, she's not a man! Check out her performance with Elton John on Youtube too. Enjoy the beautiful clothes.

MAC goes GaGa

This is a photo from the MAC Viva Glam spring 2010 campaign featuring Lady Gaga and Cindy Lauper (American songwriter/actress, yes I've never heard of her either). I'm so excited to find out that Lady Gaga will be the face of a new Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and all the proceeds will go to the MAC Aids Fund. Weirdly, she doesn't look like her usual self, I actually didn't recognise her at first. It's nice to know that sometimes celebrities do something purely for charity and not to raise their public profile. I assume the colour of the lipstick will be the one she is wearing on the photo, a purpley-pink. It's supposed to go on sale on the 18th of March in America so probably that's the date in the UK as well. And the best thing is, it's all in the name of charity so you won't feel guilty buying it!
