Designer Extraordinaire, Erin Wasson

I really hoped and secretly (but stubbornly) prayed for Erin Wasson to step out of the design spotlight! Sadly, my flu reduced my voice to a mere whisper so it wasn’t heard!

Erin Wasson is stuck on designing, keen on fashion by her own hand! Let me delight you with a piece of her perfectly cognitive, flawlessly reflected and thoroughly analyzed, theatrical, third-person narrative, f* enlightening speech (right after the picture):

“And I was like, f* Erin, you gotta figure out how to turn this into something else.[…] hanging out in Venice Beach and I was just like, ‘F* dude, I need to live here.’ And that’s when the light came on.[…] I’m not your cheesy girl that’s going to dress up in a hokey outfit and say all the sound bites that you want me to say. […] I’m a total odd bird. I collect prison art and paper mache masks. I keep a journal and rip pages out of books. I think that when you open your mind, you realize there’s art everywhere, there’s art all around us. That’s what keeps the wheels in motion. To create is my ultimate goal. So why would I ever sell out?”

Oh, Erin, you’re such a pretty head with your mouth closed! Leave those heavy thoughts for someone else, keep on living with the waves!(tdb via nymag, photo via, photochop courtesy StyleFrizz )

BlackBerry initiated an invasive advertising campaign in Milan, during Milan Fashion Week: they spread over 10,000 ties in the city. Because the BlackBerry (allegedly) enables its owner to carry his/her office in the vest pocket therefore wearing a tie is not necessary anymore. Hopefully all Milan was carrying BlackBerrys to understand that this is not a pro hanging post recession campaign! (ADivertido)

Finally someone tops Kanye! Arlo Weiner, Matt Weiner’s son (Mad Men creator) is the sylemaster of them all (dixit GQ)! Mixing patterns, matching top hats and dressing like Frank Sinatra is something he does on a daily basis. Outshining David Beckham, Arlo has been graced with a GQ profile. All sounds great. Except for the simple, moral, historical fact that Arlo was born in 2001 (yes, you’re reading that right!) (via Racked)

I really tried to convince myself this wasn’t true. I thought that if I’d close my eyes, snap my fingers three times, take three steps back (and so on), it’ll all prove to be a cauchemardesque tale.

It seems to me more the Kaiser closes up on his Twilight (I actually wish him to last throughout the years, fashion will never be the same without him!) his style shades up, washes down and twists on itself with an alarming creepiness factor!

That’s why I got goose bumps when I saw that ethereal paper-bridal, razor inhibitor Haute Couture collection he made for Spring 2009. Now I’m looking at this new Chanel Mattress bag and can’t think of anything else but a sinister movie I saw last year (The Orphanage).

Save the best (irony) for last: the elephant is not included! How very sadistic! How very Lagerfeld! (via)

Is that a good transition? I always thought Adriana Lima’s face was one of those models born to pose in men magazines and lingerie/swimwear. Despite of my obvious restraining views, Adriana Lima always cheapened every other photo shoot that wasn’t falling in the above categories.

However, she made it to the catwalk. Givenchy’s prêt-a-porter fall/winter 2009-2010 had Adriana Lima walking down the runway looking as fierce and bad joke-ish as it gets.(more pictures after the jump!)

Madonna dressed up like her daughter, Lourdes, for a costume party at the Kaballah Center in New York. I’m puzzled. I thought Madonna was a style icon herself. Dressing like Madonna is a costume in itself. Why channel the daughter? Who channels SJP? Mind your style references, your Madgesty! (dailymail.co.uk)

…because it’s been auctioned off, so you could get your fair shot at the legendary Versace Tiara! The opening bid is $699,000 but it was estimated at $3 million.

Unique, previously highlighted by Madonna, Amber Valletta, Donatella herself, this Versace tiara was awarded in 1995 by De Beers Diamonds International. The golden tiara was worldwide appreciated for being meticulously crafted, containing over 1,200 diamonds in that gold structure. (more pictures after the jump)
