Venerated old houses like Givenchy shouldn't do diffusion lines. Leave that to the young designers that need the money.
Also, I posed this in groupthink, but it disappeared: a facebook friend (high school classmate I haven't seen in years) posted that she's hosting a "Knock-Off Party with fake Prada, Louis Vuitton, Coach, and more" at her house. Is that legal? Should I be a debbie downer and tell her about child labor and such? #victoriabeckham
Ghosty girl here. Thank you for remembering me so fondly, if not my nationality.. Alas, after our photo shoot I had an epiphany: modeling bores me. To tears. I'm currently pursuing a Ph.D in comparative religion at Oxford, and generally being one happy ghost.
I adore Eric Ripert. I have never read anything about him that didn't indicate that he was an all around class act. There are times when I truly can't wrap my head around how he and Bourdain are such close friends. #victoriabeckham
@Penny: yeah 299 doesn't seem so crazed to me. Mind you I personally wouldn't buy them, but I see boots all the time that run well over 100 so...? #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@Penny: $299 — at H&M — is just against my nature. For God's sake, with a little creativity, you can find Manolos for well under $200! #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
If the MadMen line is selling at Brooks Brothers expect it to be crazy expensive. I've been in BB from time to time when looking for a simple black skirt/pants and that shit is bananas expensive. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@bluebears: I saw an ad for the Mad Men/Brooks Brothers suits, and I think they were around $900/$1000. I'm not sure how much Brooks Brothers normally charges, and that's definitely way more than I'd ever pay, but I don't think it's as crazy expensive as, say, an Armani suit. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@ytuhermanotambien: yeah I don't know about mens suit prices but the womens clothes at BB are just beyond expensive. They're basically more conservative version of the stuff at Banana or Ann Taylor but they are like 3 times the price.
Those Tom Ford quotes are priceless. I particularly enjoyed the quip about the bonzai trees taking a trip to the countryside each month for their necessary sun exposure. His dry, sarcastic wit makes me want to be close friends with him, or at least invite him to a fantasy dinner party. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
it's easy to say that the peoples' campaign was inspired by mad men, but plenty of photo shoots that lionize that style period pre-date the show. the brad & angelina photo spread for "w" is a good example.

And oh, Fergie. Did you mean to imply that every other modern scent is stinky? Yours is the only fresh one?
Ripert v. Cavalli: Roberto, you should have known better. Authentic French, 1; polyester rockstar, 0. #victoriabeckham

Harlot! Those skirts are above the knee! This would not fly at my all-girls Catholic high school. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
