Heidi (16)

YSL Fall 13'

Were you thinking what I was thinking when I first saw this collection? Something like "What the hell?" I didn't sugarcoat my surprise when I saw the pieces in this show. So not what I was expecting from YSL. Heidi Slimane knocked it out of the park for Spring 13' so what happened here? I'm all about changing things up but I seriously wondered if he had overindulged in 'spirits' while designing this collection or just had Marc Jacobs circa 1992 on the brain the whole time. Case in point:

That's So New YorkThe majority of you may recall my post which introduced a handful of my favorite products from London, United Kingdom-based Eel Skin bag designer, Heidi Mottram, titled Heidi Mottram: Part One of Two a week or so ago; yes, you may have guessed that this is the second part of that same post, yet instead I thought that I would venture a little more in depth in regards to Heidi's background, which I have to admit triggered various feelings of surprise after a first read. I mean

Heidi Mottram: Part One of Two

That's So New YorkI'm not usually one for rather basic "I like this bag; that's all" type posts, as I'm sure the majority of you know I can talk for England and frequently tend to ramble on for two or three paragraphs as I introduce a label, the said labels background and go onto introduce an entire collection, followed by six or seven reasonably large images of that particular collection, yet recently I've began admiring the scrapbook-type format which I have seen in use on a handful of addi

The business mag uses a calculus that gives extra weight to pay with Gaga at #4, Madge at #10, SJP at #70, Gisele at #85, Heidi at #86, and Kate at #91. Of course, they also put Kristen Stewart at #61, Chelsea Handler at #98, and a freaking ventriloquist at #93, so you should probably take this with a certain lack of seriousness. Obviously they did. A ventriloquist? Really, guys. [Forbes]

Supermodels have had a longtime rep for being outrageously tall and stick-thin. Although the skinny silhouettes still dominate the fashion industry, we’ve come a long way since then with the rise of curvier supermodels like Christine Brinkley, Heidi Klum, and Karolina Kurkova (who by the way, remained in high demand despite the fact the Brazilian press claimed she had “too much back fat”). Shows like America’s Next Top Model Plus Size reality series also put the typical

Expect a large turnout from celebrities for the red carpet including Dave Navarro, Gretchen Bonaduce, cast members from LA Ink, Shear Genuis, The New L Word, Sunset Tan, Deal or No Deal and more. There will a large turnout from musicians from bands such as Janes Addiction, Rob Zombie, Anthrax, and more. Models from Playboy, Trashy Lingerie, and more will also attend. The total amount of attendees will range from 500-700 but maybe more. We expect a large turnout and to be at capacity for the even
