Karl Lagerfeld Thinks Mothers Are Fat, Eating Chips, Watching TV

It is of no little knowing that Karl Lagerfeld nor he likes children or wishes any. It is also of very notorious acknowledgement that Karl made an unhealthy obsession with Lara Stone, the above-the-average-skinny-model!

What was relevantly hard to guess was Karl’s adversity for motherhood! Since he’s locked up in that ivory fashion tower of his, I’m sure he hasn’t the time to observe and learn a mother’s daily routine, hence allowing his mental distorted picture of

“fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly, […] No one wants to see curvy women”

You know what they say, Karl, put yourself in the other one’s shoes! I’m lucky if I get to sit at the end of the day, mostly I just collapse and instantly fall asleep. Food, in a mother’s stomach usually translates with eating your children leftovers! That is if there’s any! Fashion really twisted your mind, Karl!

Nike Fur-Sneaker For Your Feline Self

I know, I’m slowly but surely developing a sneaker obsession! Say that trends prediction is not true!

Even if I don’t get further than my tennis sneakers and my converse, still I have to talk about things catching my eye. And this Nike does! It blinds my fashion diplomacy in a flash! I’m opening my eyes and lay them on this fur-something-looking-like-shoes: thy name be “Garfield Nike”! Grrr!

Darby Scott $110,000 Clutch

Today was “accessories” day for me. Not your average blog-posting with a shoe/bag picture and “look what a nice bag/pair of shoes!” beneath. Instead of those dull average catwalk shades – here’s some pepper:

Darby Scott’s minaudière clutch. Nothing smashing about it. Looking from afar, you’d say it’s just wire and plastic. Well, I have news for you! It’s an 18-carat yellow gold structure with Green Tourmaline and Diamond worth $110,000 (darbyscott.com).

I wonder, though, what fits in there? I mean sure, it’s an evening bag, but don’t they think about phones? About papers? What does one carry in an evening bag? Pardon me, what does one carry in an $110,000 evening bag?

Fashion Goes Green – Recycling Auto Parts Into Trendy Accessories

Fashion’s got a conscience lately. The trends are strongly into recycling. Handbags made from used truck and tractor tire inner tubes or plain used car parts.

Maybe that doesn’t sound convincing to you, but when big screen names turn to designing (ugly) vegan shoes, we could anticipate by taking this new green wave! (damn! And think that last week I just threw at least 4 handbags when I changed my car tire that I found cut off without any chance of survival! Only if I knew this recycling thing earlier, I would have saved the handbags budget for this year!). Anyway, let’s take a look at the new green products and see if this new trend is any good.

Passchal Dad’s Baby Bag

If you think something’s wrong with this handbag, imagine that’s called “Dad’s Baby Case”!!!

Lots of room for Dad’s & Babies things. Padded bottle pocket works well for baby bottle or water bottle. Also makes a great Messenger bag for anyone. Virtually indestructible!

Impressive! Now let’s take a look at a handbag I found for us, girls. Since it’s daddy’s time to carry diapers and bottles, I think we would be just fine with this bag made from tire inner tubes and croc patented.

Passchal Croc Patented Bag

Now look at these handbags! Colorful, all fresh! Not that I would give in for one of them, but at least that changes from the first ones, black and dull. And not only do they make recycled handbags, they’re also into jewelry! Cuffs made from tea tins or earrings from leftovers commercial signs! Consumerism all inverted! Nice!

Renee Christopher Bags Earrings and Cuff

And that’s not all! The Wall Street Journal reported more designers take the recycling creation road! Furniture builder turned lighting designer Scott Sullivan who now sells rugged industrial-chic lamps made out of used car parts (solderman.com). Mixed-media artist Allison Strine takes vintage license plates and gives them a new life as charms and key chains (allisonstrine.etsy.com or uncommongoods.com). Armando Ramirez, sculptor, creates mini statues using spark plugs, sheet metal and bicycle gears (novice.com).

Lincoln MKS Tuxedo Black

On the other side of the catwalk, car companies like Ford, General Motors and Volkswagen, AG’s Audi are thinking about 2011 and beyond when they’ll present the new colored cars.

Chevrolet Equinox Blue Flash

Since a new paint color takes about five years of development and testing and runways don’t paint a car just like that, in-between colors need to be worked on. Designers supervise the process; head masters are confirming the trends when present at the Fashion Shows.

Buick Enclave Cocoa Metallic

In the mean time, let’s take a look at the 2009 Lincoln MKS in “Tuxedo Black”, the 2008 Chevrolet Equinox in “Blue Flash”, the 2007 Buick Enclave in “Cocoa Metallic”, the 2007 Hummer H3 in “Inferno Orange Metallic”, the 2008 Ford Fusion in “Moss Green”, the 2008 Audi A4 in pure white or the 2007 Ford Edge in “Dark Amethyst”.

Hummer H3 Inferno Orange Metallic

I for one think this last news about the catwalk oriented car designers is far more style offending than the handbags made from truck tires. At least those of us who are trying to make a difference by recycling, reusing, won’t do the damage the cars would inflict on the environment.

Ford Fusion Moss Green

What do you say? Are you waiting for the moment when you’ll buy a Hummer just to match your Jimmy Choo bought yesterday? Or give in to that new Lincoln just because it matches that uber-trendy clutch you got for who-knows-what-occasion?

Ford Edge Dark Amethyst

The handbags I presented you earlier came from Passchal (passchal.com) and Renee Christopher (harwearbyrenee.com), the car pictures from the Wall Street Journal.

$22,000 and $26,000 Burberry Handbags

Life must be difficult for those of us trying to get the last rip-off accessory on the market. Difficult not in figures but in colors, sizes and name tags.

The Spring Summer 2008 campaigns have started for the fashion houses and Burberry makes no exception.

The recent commercial launch for the 2008 spring-summer collection features a special accessory: a proud Medal Studs Warrior Handbag priced at $22,000.

Burberry Medal Stud Warrior Handbag

The Medal Studs Warrior Handbag is made of alligator skin with medal stud detailing and the metal drawstring closure is engraved with the “Burberry” logo. Imagine that for $22,000 you don’t even get a silk interior! You get a nylon lining imprinted with the prorsum knight emblem.

Burberry Spring Summer 2008 Catwalk Handbags

Word is, though, that there’s another version of this particular model (as if $22,000 wouldn’t have been enough!) called the Gold Alligator Warrior Handbag, and this last one carries a (golden) (price) tag of $26,000.

Ain’t life just beautiful? I mean despite these ugly and incredibly expensive handbags!
