PaoloSavi (noreply@blogger.com) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:36:00 UTC

Sofia Coppola has directed the new commercial for "Marni at H". The whole film was shot in Marrakesh, Morocco and the feeling to the commercial is very warm. It gives Marni the right interpretation, which is the true Italian style that I see as "Intelligent Fashion". "Intelligent Fashion" is the complete...

Scott Lipps — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:38:51 UTC

I dont really wait on line for too many things these days, let alone in 30 degree weather with my slim Rick Owens jacket, but to be honest, a event at MiLK during fashion week is always an event.

But the fashion industry is not rational. Here are 5 looks from the Spring/ Summer 2012 catwalk shows that I hope never make it into the stores, streets, or magazines. In no particular order. Loose, high waisted hotpants and unflattering oversized jackets from Balenciaga. It is bordering on gross how...

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:38:24 UTC

Seems like I wasn't the only one who had a rough night. But in all fairness, I didn't get stuck in an elevator. But then again, I didn't get to see Chaka Khan. You take the good with the bad, kids.
