Fake Karl Invasion

Found these. Couldn’t help it. They’re so lovely and so uneasy to digest in the same time, you have to give it at least a look.

So it’s about Karl Lagerfeld (what isn’t about him, these days? He’s restless, he’s everywhere, he’s Karl!), it’s about art and it’s about fashion. The Fake Karl/Church of Karl Lagerfeld spawned an entire series of products to fill your wardrobe, your kitchen, your walls…and your dog’s wardrobe, your baby’s necessaire. Well, needless to carry on the small talk, let’s get down to images! You have more photos right after the jump! Feel free to speak your mind about these products and vote in the poll following the images! Demode? Or Chic? (source via apartmenttherapy)

I wanted to bring this commercial to your attention because I don’t think I got it all right. It’s for Loewe’s latest fragrance. It’s a beautiful short clip, rather charming in conception and manifestation. It was presented at the San Sebastian Film Festival, September 25th.

I’m unsure about the signification, however… So I’m posting this ad for you to see it and tell me what you think about it, especially when it comes to the ending of the advert. (I’ll hold until you’ll see it too and then we’ll exchange opinions) Quizás, quizás, quizás Loewe. (the clip is right after the brake, plus a short movie behind the scenes with the making of this ad)

This is a not a picture. This is a little world in a light bulb. The very thing we should preserve and treat like our most valuable gift – our (now) sensible ecosystem.

I look at this small world and want to believe there’s still hope for our children to grow up in a world where nature is preserved and respected. Where the eco conscience prevails. Until then, I’ll keep this photo in my mind and the respect for the environment in my heart. Take an environmental break today and help the world survive! (photo via pixdaus)

How about that? Two fashion titans side by side, talking in complete harmony about tailoring!

Karl Lagerfeld and Tom Ford compliment each other on the making of clothes (unfortunately they’re talking about men suits! I would’ve loved hearing them detail the art of making women clothes). Don’t miss the science and the fun of two sartorialists respecting each other and their métier for a better dressing! (via)

Every now and then I find a little BlackBook pictorial incredibly beautiful. And not just because of its aesthetics, but because of its speech.

This October BlackBook fashion war looks appealing to me. Fighting with trends and designers in an endless war against seasons and economy itself, fashion grows in rage. It’s not all chic and poetry in fashion and I love to see a little bit of struggle even if it’s just a photo shoot. Some pictures have it, others don’t, but where that style violence is present, the picture looks alive. I share these pictures not because famous models were involved. Just because somewhere under all those layers of fabric and metal lies a strong story. At least that’s what I thought. You tell me if I was right! (via)

Already into bedding and tabletops, Calvin Klein takes the next step towards furniture design. And retail.

And just like the clothes, the Calvin Klein Home Furniture line is clean, classic without unnecessary design risks but without leaving a strong impression either. There will be two collections available simultaneously: one that goes to Macy’s and one that doesn’t. The CK furniture retailing through Macy’s has three coordinates: City, Weekend and Destination. The highly sophisticated collection that won’t sell at Macy’s is called The Curator. Both furniture collections were received in awe by the critics. Maybe because it’s about Calvin Klein, the brand, and not just because of the furniture’s design, which I find rather dull (except for the leaf bed from the first picture). How do they look to you?

Elle US goes Wonder Women. With Hollywood women. (now, why do they see wonders only in Hollywood women, that beats my logic! Maybe because shallow journalism sells? Oh well, who cares anymore these days?)

Covering this Wonder-ful Women issue is Nicole Kidman. I’m not a fan, you already know that. Because I simply don’t believe that writing a piece about something unworthy can make the author more virtuous. I write about things I really believe in, things appealing the common sense and objective logic, in respect for my readers. So, that gets me back to Nicole and how she doesn’t usually impress me. Well, this time she did! (more photos after the jump)

Paris stubbornness to present herself as a princess or fairy tale-ish character eludes me. There she goes again, Tinkerbell-ish, promoting yet another one of her products – her fifth perfume called Fairy Dust.

Because Paris sells. Because Paris deserves it and because Photoshop can do magic! Her twisted, artificially elongated torso continues with endless legs, Guiness Book of Records-worthy. Call me an unbeliever but I just don’t remember that fairies worn metallic gold bandeau, a blue scarf to hide out the essentials below the waist, metallic blue straps up the leg from ankles up to thighs all topped with peep toe white shoes. No, I refuse to give in to this new image of my beloved childhood fairies! Do you believe in fairy Paris? (and her magic scent?) (via)
