MENS VOGUE X MONCLER AUSTIN SKI JACKET


Modeled after the same jacket worn by the French National Ski Team for the 1968 Gernoble Winter Olympics, Moncler and Men’s Vogue have reproduced the jacket to debut through a charity auction. The 220 run jacket is slated for a Barney’s New York exclusive, however five jackets are to be allocated to eBay with proceeds from the jacket sales being donated to Donors Choose. Donors Choose is an initiative which allows teachers around the US to submit project ideas for funding in hopes of further advancing the education and learning system. Over the last eight years, over $20 million USD have been spread over 45,000 different projects around the United States. The royal-blue Austin Down Ski Jacket offers a slimmed down profile with just the right amount of down stuffing to ensure warm and comfortable layer of protection against the elements. The auction seen here for a size medium jacket ends on October 27th at 7:43 pm Pacific time.

SNOOP DOGG VS ROBERT HERRICK



THE MAGIC OF SNOOP
“WHENAS in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows
The liquefaction of her clothes!”
Robert Herrick (1591-1674)

“Workin’ that lace, I think it was the French cut
Yeah bitch, you got a big ol' butt.”

NIKE AIR PENNY 2 RETRO WHITE/VARSITY ROYAL!




Another OG colorway from the Air Penny IIs will soon be available. The white, black, and varsity royal blue Penny II’s is the second Air Penny II retro drop. This is the best colorway next to the Atlantic Blue colorway. Nothing compares to the Black/Royal colorway, but then again it’s all about what you like. Honestly, I would have rather seen a retro of the Atlantic Blue colorway because the colorway is much more appealing but the white/varsity royal blue is still really nice. At least it’s an original colorway that will release sometime this month, so I can’t complain too much. So far, no dumb retro-plus colorways are set to release. I have to hand it to Nike, this is the first time in forever they've released a really nice shoe and used all og-like materials and not put out 100 lame versions of the shoe in horrible colorways and completely ruined the shoe for me. I am actually excited for this retro...

GOING TO JAIL TOMORROW...



Tomorrow I am going to court and am undoubtedly being sentenced to a short period of time in jail. Someone else may post a couple blog entries for me to keep things moving but don't expect too many blog entries over the next little while. For those of you who give a shit, something will be posted soon about how long I will be away for. At least I will be in sunny Florida, not Maine or Wisconsin or something...

KANYE WEST - THE COLDEST WINTER


New song from 808s & Heartbreaks. Honestly, I really like the direction Kanye is heading. He has really taking himself from being an amazing producer to becoming one of the most relevant rappers ever to turning into the next Michael Jackson. He is not just going to be on top of the rap charts but on top of the Billboard 100 period. Believe that!

TRAE PUNCHES MIKE JONES IN THE FACE!



Trae The Truth and Mike Jones were involved in an "altercation" recently in Houston, Texas during the 2008 Ozone Awards. Jones was videotaped wiping blood from his face and talking shit to Trae. "The point is, don't come disrespecting the city," Trae said. "You don't even ride for the city. When people was sh**ting on Houston, like Houston done fell off, that nigga ducked up, curled and went some where. I stayed fighting, like nigga this H-Town.' Everybody respect that about me. That's why they put me at the forefront of this city bro." Jones said Trae sucker punched him because Jones referred to himself as the "President" of Houstohn. Watch the video for yourself. Kinda funny soley because Mike Jones is an idiot now.

LINDSAY LOHAN NOT ALLOWED AT THE ALEXANDER WANG SHOW!



Get ready girls! Now you can purchase Lindsay Lohan's 6126 line without shipping and handling charges. 2 nights ago Lindsay launched the line at Henri Bendel — mom Dina and sister Ali with her — with more than 300 fans looking on, screaming, and possibly flailing or some other weird shit people do. Lohan wore an amazing Rick Owens dress, Yves Saint Laurent shoes, and 6126 leggings but revealed that Alexander Wang is one of her favorite designers.

“I wanted to go to his show so bad, but his publicist said they weren’t allowing any celebrities to attend,” she said. “So I said, ‘Consider me a normal person then!’ But they wouldn’t.”


That's interesting because I saw photos from Wang's show, and celebrities sitting front-row included Mark Ronson and a bunch of other people who I don't know the names of. I guess Wang's team didn't want someone as famous as Lindsay, who attracts photographers and chaos like flys to shit, and can't help but steal attention from the clothes. But still, being exiled from the Wang show? Lindsay, if you need a hug, call me! I would invite you anywhere!

KARL LAGERFELD IN NYC!



The air feels a bit different today, doesn't it? A bit more … calm. Like before a storm. Or a cyclone of craziness, which is what will ensue when Karl Lagerfeld touches down in New York this weekend. He's coming by to check out the Chanel Mobile Art Exhibit currently under construction in Central Park but opening to the public on Monday. Monday, idiots!!! He's also supposed to present an award at the Fashion Group International's Night of Stars, taking place at Cipriani Wall Street exactly one week from now. But it gets more exciting: The Kaiser will also shoot his Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld eyewear campaigns in Manhattan. So don't leave home without your digital camera and extra batteries for the next week. When he's finished here, he'll head to his new crib built in the year 1840 in Vermont on Lake Champlain to shoot campaigns for Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld ready-to-wear. So if you're planning a trip to see the foliage in Vermont or you live in Vermont, go next weekend and look for Karl. The sight of him stomping through the orange leaves would be more than worth the awful drive up there. Hell, I'd suffer through that fucking $10 bus ride with all the nasty smells.

When he's done in Vermont, Karl's heading back to Paris to work on the Paris-Moscow pre-fall line for Chanel, which will be presented there on December 3. The show will open with a silent movie directed and produced by Karl, starring his favorite male model Brad Kroenig. WWD wrote, "Expect a fast-paced, laugh-packed and loose interpretation of Gabrielle Chanel’s adventures between 1913 and 1923." This is too much. I hope I get to see him this weekend!

HEDI SLIMANE CONTINUES PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER




Hedi Slimane just signed with Art + Commerce, an agency that represents photographers, stylists, hairstylists, and makeup artists. So he's evidently going to keep up the photography thing instead of the designing-clothes thing for some time. And oh, in case you missed it, he also "created an original furniture system for Comme des Garçons," according to the press release Art + Commerce just sent out.

The ex–Dior Homme designer has shot spreads for magazines like French Vogue, VMan, and Purple and released nine books, including one about London's music scene as Pete Doherty sees it. Following around Pete Doherty sounds a lot dirtier and scarier than designing clothes, but to each his own. I just feel rather jarred by this announcement since Slimane recently hinted he plans to return to design soon, saying he's in talks with secret parties about starting his own label. Maybe that was just a big fucking tease since he's doing everything but designing clothes. Next thing you know he'll be designing limited-edition iPhones and yacht interiors and photographing them for the Slimane Living coffee-table book. Which would actually be quite marvelous, but alas, not wearable. Sigh.

KATIE HOLMES ALREADY IS WEARING THE COMME DES GARCONS H&M LINE!


Spotted: Katie Holmes in a shirt from Comme des Garçons' H&M line. The line don't hit the racks until November 13. I am bitter as fuck about this. First, I understand the celebrity-fashion publicity machine, but aren't we all excited enough about this line to want to buy it whether or not someone like Holmes does? Second, she can afford real Comme des Garçons — she doesn't need to wear pieces from the diffusion line she got for free. Unless she's broke too now. But still, this is injustice! FUCK KATIE HOLMES! Damn Scientologist!

PHILIP LIM TALKS TO NY MAGAZINE


Fashion Week basically ended yesterday, but designers aren't lounging in hot tubs with hot models feeding them grapes. They're back at the drawing board creating next year's pre-fall and fall collections for label whores like me. In fact, they're probably whipping up shit right now as I type. New York magazine caught up with Phillip Lim this week at the Crystallized Swarovski Elements launch party for Unbridaled, a book of photographs of wedding decorations and gowns inspired by Swarovski crystals (Lim designed a gown for the book). What can we expect for his February show, which is so far away, yet so necessary to know about right this second? "Fun. Glamorous. Edgy. Jewel-toned colors. More luxe and rich in a way that it's not about more expensive — it's just the depth, the texture, the color, the feel," he explained. "It's the girl growing up. Grown-up girls that don't forget to have fun. It's going to be more emotional than ever." He added his approach to the upcoming collections will be the same as always despite the fact that everyone's so broke nowadays. "I mean, our business is pretty, wearable clothes. What would I change it to? All I could do is put even more of my heart and soul into it and make it even more personal." Gotta love Philip!

LAGERFELD, MCQUEEN, AND GALLIANO X DARKHORSE T


I have a pet peeve, and it's graphic tees. On one hand, 99.9 percent of these cotton suckers come from Annoying Ugly–ville, while .01 percent reside in the ever-admirable Corny But Cute–land. The same place where they make streetwear for girls. Haha. The one you see here is by designer Andrew Randle's Darkhorse line. It's called "Project Darkhorse," and it manages to simultaneously praise and poke fun at fashion gods John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, and Karl Lagerfeld(my personal hero!) while not looking totally idiotic. It's dropping in March 2009 for $45 on DarkhorseWorld.com. The fist clinching threesome look like they're just short of beating each other down. Doesn't it make you wonder, who would win in a fight? Also, don't you love how Karl has a fan? HAHAHA!

PARIS SPRING/SUMMER 09 CHLOE COLLECTION





I am like 2 weeks too late, but it would be a great shame for me to skip over the Chloe collection, a brand which I'll always have a soft spot for. It would also be a shame to miss this collection, because this is Hannah MacGibbon's first collection at the helm of Chloe. Mr.Toledo finally gave the boot to Paulo Melim Andersson, who's aesthetics was clearly at odds with the classic Chloe girl, hence the crappy line that has came out the past year and a half...I shudder thinking about the last collection. Fortunately for you girls, MacGibbons seems to have a much better grasp of what Chloe is supposed to be about- and she should, having spent five years working at Chloe under Phoebe!

Christian Louboutin really impresses me. I don't know if it is the red bottoms or what but I really love Louboutins. Booties are a bit last season and the new twist for the season are the peep-toe booties. But since it is C Louboutin doing them this pair is great! Check them out at www.barneys.com to order them.

GILDED CAT BLANKET-PRINT PSYCHEDELIC DRAPERY DRESS


"This bountiful bouquet of a dress looks almost like it walked right off the fall runways! It is a surefire way to make an impression at any party or it could even be worn whilst sipping tea on a chaise lounge. The blanket-like fabric skirt with the black jersey top are very comfortable, yet fashionable. The top is fairly stretchy. I added a jersey braid I knotted, to the top of the bodice for an interesting detail. The front is ruched in two places and creates a little peek-a-boo for your legs. "
That is how the haute couture designer Victoria Cates described this piece. You can see the extreme attention to detail on this piece as well as the use of multiple different fabrics. Usually I am only moved by pieces by bigger designers but every once in a while something comes along that is far ahead of its time and flying below the radar. If I were a girl I would be all over this due to the low price and high quality of fabrics and materials. The seamstress is well taught in high sweing and fashion design as I am sure you can see by looking at her online store. Check it out here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5880462

To order this specific piece check: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15634534
Obviously it is one-of-one. For ordering info check that link. Contact her for more info on any of the other products on there or anything else coming out.
