@berlitzfrench: I just realized the grammatical error in my original post. Ugh. That's what I get for posting with only 3 hours of sleep under my belt... #marisamiller
@thatblackgirl: Well, Photoshop is used to create an "illusion". Implants are used to create breasts that are made out of silicone instead of flesh. There's no reason physical breasts would look "photoshopped on" ust because they have implants inside. #marisamiller
As an Anthropology student, I resent the spelling of that shop name.
But my two American friends are always banging on about how good it is, and they both dress far better than I do, so I'll probably check it out at some point... #marisamiller
I love Ann Taylor - the pieces are usually basic enough that I can rock them for a variety of occasions, with the right accessories. Sure, they're "edge-free", but I add my own edge with jewelry, shoes and bags. #marisamiller
@FashionShowAtLunch: She lost me for good at:
"No, I’m not interested in a Michelle Obama-inspired, stretch satin, office-party ‘mistletoe moment’ dress, thank you very little."
We can't all wear "Frankenhooker" boots to work Cintra! Some of us like collecting cardigans and wool skirts--preferably ones that cost less than $100, thanks.
@lolabee: I read it as, "I have no problem with fat chicks wearing my clothes but designing stuff that flatters a body with curves and stuff that deviates from my dressmaking mannequins is HARD and I'm too lazy." #marisamiller
Perhaps stylist Robert Verdi has been denied tickets to fashion shows because the Fashion World doesn’t want the rest of us to realise they actually have gay people working in it, let alone gay men. Or it could just be that he isn’t important enough to warrant one right now. As Heidi says, one moment you're in, the next you're out.
I'm kind of disappointed in Tim Gunn after those Lohan comments. I'm not a huge Lindsay fan, but didn't he just say what a pleasure it was to have her on PR? It just seems kind of below him to talk bad about people.
@katie.scarlett.o'hara: I don't blame him. It comes across harsh but fashion people are always too blunt. Ungaro replaced a talented designer who has trained and worked in the industry for years with a celebrity who is not known for her work ethic. It is really insulting to fashion designers, etc to see this kind of spectacle.
@bitchney: I know they got rid of the designer, but is Lohan replacing him? I thought she had some other, more random role. Like some sort of promoter.
@cate3710: I am sure she won't do more than be late to / blow off meetings and smoke cigarettes. They have a "designer" who will do all of the work while this trainwreck gets the credit. I would expect this from Bebe or something, not at a venerable fashion house.
Just goes to show you how ridic the copyrights on clothing designs can be. Its a goddamn sneaker. New Balance didn't reinvent the wheel with that look.
@bluebears: I don't know - that particular edition is THE iconic New Balance sneaker. And charging $590 for a sneaker deserves some sort of punishment anyway.
@dreamweave: heh. yeah. But if you look at saucony and nike they also have varying throwback designs that look pretty similar as well. There's just not that much to reinvent when it comes to a sneaker.
@bluebears: Well, and it's really hard to get a copyright in a pattern or clothing design - which is why knock offs of fashion are so readily available. I wonder if NB has worked hard to protect this one, giving it some cache on the legal front. Otherwise, it's a color scheme and a fabric choice and I have no doubt the LV one is a crap running shoe.
The women from Go Fug Yourself seemed to be pretty impressed by Victoria Beckham's show, but they admit they're biased. They also didn't talk much about the clothes themselves, though I find it cool that VB talked about each individual dress.

These are the same sort of people who pay homeless guys to beat the shit out each other, aren't they. #marisamiller

I have such a major girl-crush on Freja Beha Erichsen. #ragtrade

Was she misquoted? That sentence is so awkward it becomes contradictory. #ragtrade

Furthermore, he does not "rip off" the other designer; he is inspired by him or her.
You've got to take into account the presence of a muse in fluttering golden gauze guiding his hand.
