I continue to be dumbfounded by Leigh Lezark. Especially when I saw her in ads for....Tod's, was it? Not Tod's. Some preppy luxury brand, it was weird.
I don't care for all of these fashion lines that are supposed to help people or the environment. (Ha, that makes me sound terrible.)When you look at them closely they always seem to either donate a negligable amount of money, or are multi-million dollar ventures that provide work for 15 people, who will make 6 dollars a day instead of 3. They also always seem to be short on design or, as with the environmentally conscious ones, just super boring (a whole collection of beige natural linen anyone? 250 dollars a piece, please.)
I always wonder about say, racks and racks of EDUN merchandise marked down from 300 dollars to 10; is it even worth producing this collection so it can end up on a big rack at Filenes? Is it really generating a profit?
@LaFemme: That is my complaint as well. I cannot afford expensive clothing, no matter how much I drool, and it can be tricksy to buy ethically and inexpensively. That is why I either want to a) make more of my own clothing, or b) bring back fig leaves.
@LaFemme: They do donate a paltry amount, that's why I generally ignore them or any "product" meant to benefit an organization. Unless it's those cute UNICEF Christmas cards.
Instead of wearing tights embedded with crystals to get rid of cellulite, I find the flesh eating bug has faster and more long lasting results. Of course it does take away the whole flesh, but that is surely a small price to pay rather than be left with the truly disfiguring and shameful skin complaint that is cellulite.
@textile_queen: I preserve my girl crush by focusing on the fact that it is done ethically, and is also raising awareness about ethical/free trade clothing.
@textile_queen: I am too old to understand the Emma Watson worship. She looks pretty in an expensive frock which, if it were not for appearing in the same film role, for years on end, she would never be able to afford to buy herself. She has brains and has chosen to go on to university like Lily Cole and a host of others and I applaud her for that in an age where far too often intelligence is sneered at. But other than that, I am bemused as to how she has gained her status as a fashion icon Maybe I might feel differently if I had actually watched any of the Harry Potter films. But the whole premise of the books left me cold.
@Rare Affinity: @LaFemme: My crush mostly rests on the fact that she seems to be a very smart, practical girl who identifies as a feminist and plays one of my favorite characters. She also seems like she'd be a blast to hang out with. It all has very little to do with her as a fashion icon, although she is kind of adorable.
I know she is focusing on school now, but I do hope she continues acting and picks some very interesting roles. No hookers, victims or doormats for my Emma!
@la.donna.pietra: No no no no no! Dammit, I don't WANT to find another lipstick I love as much as my Prescriptives' Current Affair. I have never gotten more compliments on anything I wear more than I do for that lipstick.
I think Stacey Bendet is a real trooper for showing up to this event. She obviously just had a terrifying encounter with the world's largest cake mixer in a wind tunnel. It's a shame--I would have liked to see what her dress and hair looked like before. At least she's okay.

(It hit a lot of other places before, but this is the first beauty/fashion closure I actually give a hang about, personally.)
