Belgian menswear designer Raf Simons opened a new store recently. Located in Tokyo, Japan, this store is one delightful work of art. When I was little, I had these artistic tryouts and designer tribulations that (almost every time) ended with a splash on the very tableau I was working on. Terribly involved and passionate about [...]

I know, I know, but it was so beautiful and crazy hilarious, I had to bring it on! For a special Halloween flavor! Actually, this event happened last year, on Halloween night, precisely, at Cipriani’s, NY. Roberto Cavalli dressed up to the very ponytail like the Kaiser! I don’t know if that shall be done [...]

Each adolescent today seems to be carrying some eagerness to stand out with own means. Not that wasn’t common for any adolescent, everywhere, anytime, all times. But today’s adolescents seem to be thinking of one way to recreate uniqueness – through skin embellishments and jewelry enhancements (and I’m not talking necklaces, rings, earrings or bracelets!).

The Kaiser will feature a very important cover this year. The cover of Le Petit Larousse Illustré 2009. His love for books is notorious.

Photographer Douglas Kirkland managed to surprise the world with 40 unseen pictures of Coco Chanel, the legend! Kirkland’s young eye (27 years old at the time, in 1962) studied Miss Chanel for three weeks time and got so close and won Coco’s favors that he has gone where no photographer has gone before. In his [...]

I was running the virtual catwalk for Spring Summer 2009, searching for a way to proper start the SS 2009 reviews and found something I thought you should be aware of! Karl Lagerfeld’s collection for Spring Summer 2009 was as non-colored as you can get (but I’ll save the best for the catwalk report!). Still, [...]

Just another one of those Kaiser Karl moments… few seconds of reading and then few minutes of thinking why, oh why he has to say all those dreadful things? … it must be a designer thing. Marc Jacobs has it too! So we’re still safe. (are we?) Oh, don’t bother with such deep thinking, take [...]

When I was a child, I loved some quality philosophy. When I grew up I was delighted to see how others thought about themselves as quality philosophers. Marc Jacobs should stick to clothes. Or maybe he should embrace a stand up comedy career. He’s really gifted for that one, you know? Just remember how productive [...]
