Kate Moss Does Agent Provocateur Again

Kate Moss is back at Agent Provocateur. And not for any season’s collection either! She’s doing the bridal theme. Maybe those rumors about her and Mr Hince are true.

However, these shots don’t get to me like Maggie Gyllenhaal ones did. And even the last advertising thing with Vahina Giocante was far better to my eyes than La Moss all dressed up and looking abandoned on a bed or alluring on a bar (or what bears a striking resemblance to a bar). What do you think? Is she reaching for recognition as a “bridal character” or just another financial reason to get almost undressed?

That’s like the tip of the iceberg for celeb designers. Having your own clothing line it’s the first step. That’s what you get when you’re Rachel Bilson or similarly famous. But when you’re already on top, where can you have your designer madness come true?

On the catwalk. You actually become a designer. You can actually have your own fashion house. He is, undoubtedly, one smart business man, he can keep the dead alive (his success was mostly based on his friend Notorious Big dead and reediting his work after dead) but can he really make fashion? Or is he just selling attitude under a big signature?

My road to becoming a designer started when I was around the age of 6-7 years old. (…) The collection is a story of a king. The older king is sick and he passes. And you have this young prince that is not really ready to be king. And we get into the story of the young king and all of the changes that a young king will have to go through. The pressure of the world is put on him. Now he has to be king.

Here you have part 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Madonna is the toughest…diamond girl! Everywhere you turn your head, another Madonna cover pops up. Now that we’ve all seen the boots, we can admire the bling.

“M-dolla” Chopard Knuckle Ring has more than 258 brilliant diamonds and appears on the cover of the much awaited “Hard Candy” album. But what’s the idea with this ring? It has a special feature we’re not aware of? Some kind of glowing in the dark thing? It gives the wearer superpowers? And I know she’s not a punker, however, I came across this Knuckle Brush and thought it would have been more becoming for Madge … It’s rougher than a blingie, it’s womanly enough, would have been a perfect waste of minutes to save the world…from dust.
What would it be? Bling it or dust it away?

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 you make a mathematical ratio between the merchandise quantity and the space available. You only get to even things out when the price label comes into the equation.

So this is what the fuss is all about? One of the kitschiest things I’ve ever seen causes a stir just because it was featured in SATC the movie, worn been by none the other than Sarah Jessica Parker.

My style dilemma is not even challenged for I look at this ridiculously expensive $2,750 Timmy Woods Bag adorned with 6,300 Swarovski Crystals and ask myself what difference between this one and the sidewalk sold souvenirs from Paris. None? Crystals aside, the bag looks every inch the ordinary kitsch that it is. (without crystals it costs $400) And being chosen by Patricia Field and worn by Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t make it less of a tasteless object. Does it?

If you’re a former supermodel still going strong, muse of Lagerfeld himself and leading a successful life, you’re not supposed to mingle.

Wonder if the Kaiser preached her his guidelines because for the Montblanc event in Geneva, Switzerland, Claudia Schiffer looked every inch the Karl apprentice. Black outfit? Check! Distant look? Check! Stiff stature? Check! High untouchable factor? Check! How hard can actually be to look alive?

I’m sure we all have our moments when a bit of Anger Management would be necessary. For us or for the others.

No matter who’s in need now, it’s Friday Break and “I feel pretty”! I don’t imagine how someone could resist such a scene and such acting. So let it be! (in case you’re in a vintage mood, I also posted Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story original “I feel pretty”)

It’s a must! Forget about books, forget about your daily, weekly, monthly magazine routine! The interview from Prestige Magazine is so memorable, it could easily become a best seller hang-on-the-wall-word-of-wisdom.

I’ll post down some of the most interesting answers Lagerfeld gave:

“I hate the smell of cooking. (…) I don’t eat sweet things. I don’t eat greasy things. (…) Anorexia is nothing to do with fashion. (…)Let’s talk about the fat ones. (…)I hate all children. (…) I don’t want to have a social life. (…) It’s démodé. (…) I try to avoid charity. (…)I’m rich enough not to have to do that. (…) I am not a traveler. I hate it. I never look at my watch. (…)In all my contracts it says, if you want me, send a private jet. (…) I hate to be touched by strangers. It bores me to death. (…) I’m frustrated by nothing at all (…) I have no ambition. (…)I don’t want to be a teacher. (…) I’m the most selfish person in the world. (…) Never go one size ahead. Go down but not up. (…) I’m a computer by myself. (…) Love is a subject I don’t analyze publicly.”

The interview is just beyond words. It makes every other interview until and beyond so “démodé” and I refuse to comment it in any way. Instead I invite you most politely to tell me what you think.
