Prada Trembled Blossoms 2008 Outrageousness Continues

Even from the moment it was presented, the Prada Spring Summer 2008 Campaign literally freaked me out.

The Trembled Blossoms animation film is an offense to the eye and the common good sense, not to mention good old education. Aside from the colors featured in the film, truly beautiful, the idea of that asexuate nymph biblically relating to her oh-so-generous faun and the entire plot of the movie are appalling. I was willing to let the story die peacefully, hoping the hallucinogenic effect of bags to pass into a more decent form than moths coming out of handbags and flowers with human reproductive appearance and function bonus the eating birds part, but Prada’s going obsessive and brings yet another episode to the audience, in Japan, where butterflies transforms into sunglasses, meaning Prada has fixation on moths or we’ll soon face another Silence of the Lambs (ahem purses, sunglasses and whatever else!).

Versace $227,000 Destiny Jewelry Watch

Versace is branding Luxury. At a recent Watch Fair in Baselworld, the Donatella unveiled the Versace “not like a watch” watch.

Available on order only, it’s a gold timepiece with a dial covered in more than 122 white diamonds. Given that three of this overprecious Destiny watch have already been sold, seems like The Versace lady makes sense:

“Women don’t really need a watch to tell time today — they have their cell phones and BlackBerrys. This is a jewelry watch.”

So? What else is there unnecessary in your daily routine? So we’d know what Versace’s up to next! (after helicopters and watches not meant to be worn as watches)

(not to mention I look at this ultra expensive watch and I don’t see the beauty of it at all! Looks like a fish in a can!)

Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers Collection Fragrances

First of all, let’s get some things cleared up here – we all know who Gwen Stefani is (or at least that’s the presumption I’m taking off from), but maybe not everyone’s familiar with the “Harajuku” term meaning.

Harajuku (according to Wikipedia) has a geographical departure – it’s an area between Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan and came to be known because of its youth style and fashion, the Harajuku street style being promoted as “Fruits”

Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers Perfume

Gwen Stefani’s clothes and accessories line have been strongly influenced by the Harajuku Girls style (a style she began showing off with her first solo album Love, Angel, Music, Baby).

Now when mostly at home due to her second pregnancy, she still has to keep her marketing self busy. She announced the Harajuku Lovers Fragrance line (for September).

Love is floral, Lil’Angel is fruity floral, Music is delicate floral, Baby is powdery musk, G is modern gourmand. So it’s all about flowers and fruits. And Harajuku.

The scents come in $45 for 30ml and $25 for 10ml (plus an upcoming version of the coffret with the solid perfume for $60). Read more…

Friday Break – The Pink Panther Theme Song By Henry Mancini

Today it’s time to appreciate a little French chic touch! My favorite French of all times – Inspector Jacques Clouseau doing his Pink thing!

It’s an unspeakable proof that the French will surpass us all in color obsession and pink development. Beyond fashion, let’s take a moment to enjoy one of the most famous theme-song ever and pink up our day!

Boots Trend for 2008 – Wear them Off!

Remember how crazy Madonna drives us with her long laced boots? Well, I might have been on the verge of making a very important discovery here…

You see, these days, when one pops up more than 4 covers consecutively in 2 moths, one consider at least a change of style from one photo shoot to another, not to mention changing shoes! Well, not her Madgesty! She’s sticking to her laced boots like her life depends on it! Now, when changing season, one changes clothes also. This would be the case for a travelling Kate Moss – today in rainy London, tomorrow on sunny US beaches. But not La Moss, no! She’s sticking to her boots like her life too is depending on them!

Kate Moss Boots

Now tell me, as I’m bringing this to your attention – could it be a brit – trend ? Wear them till they’re off? Or this is the new way with boots? Wear them day after day, season after season, more lifeless the boots, more glamorous the look?

Oh, that Monogramouflage!

And it’s officially out! The new Monogramouflage from Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami looks like this. Have to say I’d expected something little less on the war side…

In fact it was a secret hope for something less monogramouflage than real-life-army camouflage. But then again, fashion’s at war (at least with Marc Jacobs) so there’s no surprise there after all.

Posh, Darling, Here’s for You – Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès

Others have Versace Helicopters to take them to work. Then again others have work to attend to… Posh, darling, you’ll just have to settle in with a Bugatti…

However, don’t feel the despair taking your orange cheeks by storm! It’s not an ordinary Bugatti! It’s a Veyron! Oh, that doesn’t ring a bell either? Hm, I’m sorry, I thought 16-cylinder in W for a 0-100kmh in 2.5 seconds would amaze almost everyone! Well, then, it’s a Bugatti Veyron par Hermès!

Is this the Next Ugly Betty?

Since Ugly Betty has been a telenovela success before taking US by storm, I have lots of reasons to believe “Sin tetas no hay paraíso” (literally: “Without tits, there’s no paradise”) has enormous potential to hit US television.

Or.. who actually cares? All I know is when I saw this picture, it instantly made me think of those dancers wearing and playing with pink fake feathers enormous scarves.

Maria Castro Sin tetas no hay paraiso

Next you know, she’ll take off the horrendous scarf in a Von Teese-manner and all she’ll have left will be a minuscule body piece on for her dance routine of the evening.

Who’s she? Maria Castro. What is her actual job? Starring the above mentioned telenovela.

What’s the good part of all this preposterous picture? At least she’s not wearing fur!… “and nothing else matters” (Metallica’s genius at work doing the final song accords while we graciously leave this girl alone with her fashion fantasies).

Even so, please, if you have some style suggestions (or applause) don’t hold back! share!
