I know you were holding your breath for this one (lol) so here it goes: The Sartorialist book review! It would come as no surprise at all to see the logic scheme presented earlier repeating itself over and over in the 512 pages of Scott Schuman’s chef d’oeuvre.
You have 46 cigarettes presented by either the [...]

We all (somewhat) remember M.I.A.’s Grammy’s performance. And I’m not talking about her vocal qualities! I’m talking about her 9 months pregnant self, on the Grammy stage, performing while (heavily) with bébé.

Jason Wu’s talent has only begun claiming a fair and square fashion spotlight and he’s already working the dream/fantasy side of couture. With his very own catwalk as inspiration, Jason Wu dresses up dolls chez Colette for $300.
