Kate Moss YSL Parisienne Commercial

Kate Moss doing what he knows best in a crescendo – Depeche Mode mix courtesy Yves Saint Laurent for their latest fragrance commercial: Parisienne YSL.

Because intimacy has everything to do with marketing, this highly suggestive commercial as played by Kate Moss induces the new idea of rosephiles. If no such concept was made public yet, this should be the starting point.

Let me exemplify just why this commercial should be R-rated: leather outfits, the backseat of a limo, bed sheets, very high heeled shoes, explicit gestures and poses, a clothesless man lying on the bed while Kate puts on her sandals. Kate Moss relives the intimate moment she had just by touching herself with a rose. This commercial makes me think about Sofia Coppola’s Miss Dior Chérie commercial and ask myself why can’t we see more ads like that?

Regardless of the Christian Louboutin label and the sparkling studded details, I still can’t make peace with these flat shoes.

Could you see yourself wearing a pair of these Christian Louboutin just like Anna Schilling here? (Anna is a model with Fusion Models NY, did Margiela and Yamamoto and fashion spreads in Vogue and Wonderland and now she’s sporting a relaxed city casual look with the omnipresent jorts, a vest by Alexander Wang and a plastic bag from Opening Ceremony) (photo via)

Vogue. Vogue Hommes. Vogue Hommes Japan. Fall Winter 2009 2010. So wrong, let me count the ways!

Let me ask you again: how many straight men you know who’ll buy this magazine? Knowing what it holds inside? These are Steven Klein’s Warriors. A pictorial openly Bondage-sque and clearly SM. Is there really no other way to do fashion? No other appealing photographic, styling technique other than spikes, hot wax, chains and so on? This has gone way beyond the fashion borders into Ridiculous Land! Right next to Derelicte-city! I demand fashion clemency! (photos via)

I’ve got a good news and a bad news for my Converse ladies! Let me start with the good, hopefully the effect will take you through the following downer with a smile on your face (still)!

Lanvin has created a special Converse sneaker for Lanvin’s 120th anniversary! It’s called “en Bleu” ’76 Leather. Besides having the legendary trademark One Star on the sides, there’s also a Lanvin tag sewn onto the heel. (the story continues with more images right after the jump!)

Some nail it just right, some have it sooo wrong! Vikings, polar bears. The urban wall fashion in all its fantastic splendor! Behold! (photo via)

I fell in love! After that Derelict-ous moment, I had to make room for some quality fashion. Wash my eyes, sanitize my laptop screen and grace your sight with something really fashionable. Not in the migraine-ish kind of way, twisted in turned, transformed and disfigured like the majority of the esteemed high fashblogosphere is feeding us with. No-no! I’m talking about simple fashion, the kind that makes you slap your forehead and say “dang! Why haven’t I thought of that? it’s so easy!”

So here it goes: black pullover, black wide-leg pants. A black scarf around your head if you like and you’ve got this black magic outfit! The original one I fell in love with comes from Aquascutum, fall-winter 2009 2010. Fancy a bit of simple, black fanciness? (photo via)

Even if Heidi is currently pregnant with her fourth (and said to be her last) child, she’s determined to keep us thinking about her model-body. The proof in images with a new book called Rankin’s Heidilicious.

It may seem like a Black Eye Peas song title when in fact it’s just a collection of photographs of self branded Heidi Klum signed by the same photographer: Rankin. (the story continues after the jump with more pictures!)

Do you/would you preach Rodarte to your children? Because there’s no point in taking a Pencil Case stuffed with Pencils and Erasers designed by Rodarte to a school boy or girl who doesn’t have an eye for fashion a soul sold to uberstyle.

There’s just no way this Rodarte Back To School ensemble should not find its way to the fashionistas desks in NY. They’re available at the Opening Ceremony Howard Street storefront trunk sale. When? Fashion’s Night Out, September 10th from 6pm to midnight! Rumor has it that the Rodarte sisters (and Alexander Wang among other eminent designers) could pop by the Fashion’s night out trunk sale from Opening Ceremony! Ready for those Rodarte goodies? (via)
