If you can find Roberto Cavalli or Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des Garçons over at Hennes and Mauritz, what can you find over at Target? Alexander McQueen! It’s a long time favorite of mine, ever since he was only l’enfant terrible des catwalks. Now, a confirmed successful designer, Alexander McQueen was contracted by Target to do [...]

Missed her? Agyness Deyn is getting her covers back. She must be in some kind of soul search path and she’s taking the long way home – here’s her Vogue China November 2008 cover! (I wish she could close her mouth when photographed, from time to time! That would be really something new!) It’s a [...]

Everybody heard that you have to suffer for fashion! Or that you have to suffer for beauty. I don’t argue that, but I have just a little annotation: If I have to suffer for fashion of beauty, let it be not in Alexander McQueen! For Spring Summer 2009 he chose to highlight the corset. Object [...]

Everybody’s favorite witch, none the other but Hermione Granger strikes a pose in October’s Harper’s Bazaar.

Her stature isn’t really flattered by this gown, not to mention it seems she had [...]

How about some sport shoes? Not the regular ones. One Puma sandal to keep wearing even with one elegant outfit. I always wanted to wear things that could be elegant and casual if worn properly. I sure hope this sandal is as comfy as is pretty for a Puma-Alexander McQueen. Would you consider taking the [...]

Sarah Jessica Parker’s outfit from the London Premiere of Sex And The City The Movie has butterfly darling Mariah Carey all envious! She pulled a butterfly number a la Carrie Bradshaw. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to go all tree-like on the Red Carpet, I’m just saying that the Philip Treacy hat had [...]

You remember that fashion big names only come in large spaces? Well, the new Alexander McQueen Store from Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles has a 3,100-square-foot space filled with 70% air. Of course the store looks clean and slick, a new sci-fi hospital where you get to cure your clothing urge, but it’s wasted space if [...]
