Levi’s Curve ID, The Perfectly Fitting Jeans?

Now this is getting really fun: there’s another pair of perfect pants on the market! What’s with this quest for perfection? Isn’t anyone willing to make mistakes anymore? In fashion?

So Levi’s came out with this brilliant revolutionary idea called Levi’s Curve ID. Declined in three shapes the Slight Curve, the Demi Curve and the Bold Curve, the new skinny jeans are supposedly ready to fit every woman’s body type out there. $115 and the guarantee that your jeans are your true fit. I disagree with the skinny jeans aesthetic to start with, so I’m really not buying this. How about you? Do you really think this perfect pants story? The Gap version, now the Levi’s? which is which and which is witch (hunt)?

How far are you willing to go to help and protect the environment? How deep are you ready to dig just to recycle and reuse? How far and loud are you willing to affirm your ecofight?

I hope to get even further in discussing this topic with you (if you want it too). Today’s recycling gesture comes from a local Austin designer, Tina Sparkles: Systems Supernova. It’s a dress made of recycled computer wiring. Each wire is situated in a closed loop system interacting with all the other systems composing the dress. It’s a wonderful idea, original and noble. But it’s kinda the haute couture of recycling. Would you honestly wear it? (Tina Sparkles via)

Asking you if a good fash video was what you needed is irrelevant right now. Why? Because everybody’s doing it, I should just as well get used to it and accept it like it is. Teasing. It’s not product oriented. It’s teasing oriented.

David Beckham, Victoria Beckham. You know them. You know they’re together since like forever, right? (in which case forever started in 1999). And if their being together is anything remotely similar to what they’re trying to put out as an advertorial show to sell their latest perfume, forever sounds like a good plan for the Beckhams. Still. Selling a perfume with this message is just as frivolous as their very existence. Fashion you say? I say shallow and futile. Then again, they’re not trying to sell a book or something, right? They’re just pushing their new Intimately Yours Beckham fragrance…(via)

Kenzo has found a way to please your inner knitting fashionista with two kits that will be available this very October. My Kenzo Tricot brings together passion for fashion and passion for knitting in one fancy product declined in a scarf kit and a vest kit.

In the vicinity of $100 you’ll be able to choose one of Kenzo Tricot’s propositions. That is if you’re into a knitting challenge with a serious 70s flavor. (now I could get all critical about the price of such knitting gesture, however, it’s all under a big couture label so we can’t really complain. Are you ready to shop, shop, shop in the name of fashion?) (via)

Did you know there was an annual red – hair day and some serious festivities held in Holland’s city of Brenda? I sure didn’t but that only doubled my pleasure at the ginger sight of all that natural beauty!

I’m a simple girl, I have simple, natural pleasures. And seeing all those natural red heads celebrating the beauty of being red haired is so simple, so pure, so lovely I can’t overlook! I wouldn’t mind having a blond hair day, a brunette hair day. Why not? Natural hair colored people all over the world, unite! Let’s celebrate! (so how about it, Adriana, were you at it?) (via)

Nesting all around, you say? Yeah, it must be the autumnal air that’s getting us inside, thus redecorating, somewhat. (I wouldn’t mind a bit of sunshine, though, I’m having a laundry filled week and I would happily appreciate all the help I can get – I’m a natural, I love having my laundry drying out in the clean, fresh air instead of a tumbling metal box)

Getting back to redecorating: there’s something you have to see! Alexander McQueen’s rug for The Rug Company (remember dame Vivienne also worked a collection for them)! Just before he flew away, he designed a series of six rugs for the infamous label from which this image of a flock of hummingbirds. Visionary much? (the hand – knotted cashmere and silk rug below is available for $18,900 here; via)

Now I couldn’t have brought you Vogue UK’s Cheryl Cole outrageousness without mentioning Carey Mulligan’s Vogue US October 2010, could I? The two main Vogue editions come out as disappointing for the October 2010 issues. At least in my books.

Two non-fashion ladies (Cheryl Cole and Carey Mulligan both have out – fashion careers and are in no official way related to any fash subjects) deserved a fashion magazine cover for reasons only known by the respective editors in chiefs. Well, maybe Carey has a movie coming up, but I still don’t see why the amazing Grace Coddington styled such a strange looking Lindbergh photographed pictorial.

I would normally like Carey’s fresh short hair and witty face, however, doesn’t oddly look so much older? (click through to see more images and a behind the scenes video; click here for the gallery!) Too bad for the splendid couture dresses! (Vogue via)

Why is Cheryl Cole relevant for the fashion industry? Oh, I know, I know, I should be asking this every time a non-model or a fashion outsider covers a fashion magazine. Still, I’m ready to forgive and forget, close my eyes and get on with the show. When a good cover happens.

This Cheryl Cole Vogue UK October 2010 cover is so wrong, so eye hurting and fashion insulting, I can’t bring myself around to digest it. Everyone loves Cheryl Cole. It’s a fashion. Get a highly media – covered divorce and you get a Demarchelier Vogue cover as bonus. Great deal, eh? (Vogue via)
