Christopher Kane better hope The Fug Girls and T.Lo don't hear about this.

Also, Trashy Fame Whore, back off the David Yurman. His stuff is actually really nice, and far too classy for the likes of you.

In other news, President Obama wore noise-cancelling headphones on the way home yesterday, suggesting he likes his plane rides as he likes his fashion critics: quiet.

I hope that Liliane Bettencourt's daughter succeeds in managing the finances and more than that I hope her mother doesn't hate her for it. As someone who has taken care of two sets of grandparents I know how terrible it can be to have to remove some of their responsibilities and how much they dislike it. Giving 1.5 billion dollars worth of cash and art to a photographer seems like a warning sign. (On a side note, 1.5 billion, for the sake of fuck that is a lot of money)

While I understand what Christopher Kane says, and to a point agree with him, I find the sentence people can say what they want about anyone on a blog without consequences and that's quite scary a bit scary.
Like when Cathy Horyn was critical about a designer show (i forgot which one) and was refused admission the season after that? Like when Dana Thomas (who wrote the terrific and critical book about fashion, Deluxe) was refused at the door of the Louis Vuitton show? Those kind of consequences? I hope not.

I was looking in the WWD spring 2010 magazine the other day and saw that photo of Garancé, Scott and Tommy in the front row of...I believe D&G. All with their laptops. It was weird. As much as I love their blogs (especially Jak & Jil), it takes some getting used to, having bloggers so entrenched in the fashion world. I love it and also feel a strange resistance to the change.

I was so prepared to be on Twiggy's side. I too have "long-since consigned [Woody Allen] to the Academy of the Overrateed" .

But, really Twiggy....
It IS obnoxious, pretentious, and dick-ish for one to purposefully try to make another person feel intellectually inferior.
But, cruel?
That probably sucked and all, but she could have just blown it off and then opened a book. Or blown it off and been content without a favorite philosopher.
AS IF everyone can name their fav. philosopher and, of those who can do so, how many really know what the hell they're talking about?!

At least she wasn't interviewed by Steven Colbert or Sasha Baren-Coen. Now that could have been brutal. Esp. the later.

But but...! If Lara Stone lost weight, then she would just be a model, not a "curvy model". And the designers wouldn't have any "curvy models" to parade on their runways as an example of how open-minded they are!

Why are people so angry at Lara Stone for (unsurprisingly, given the stress of her profession) having a skewed body image? How about directing some ire at ElleUK, whose writer breathlessly and unironically reported these comments and then expressed her approval of how "well" this new "routine" is working for her?

I know it's different for everyone, but is all that exercise necessarily going to work for her? I notice she didn't talk about changing her diet, but I would think she'd have to. If you're already a size 4, working out a lot might tone you up but it won't necessarily make you superskinny. She might already be at her body's preferred size.

I say this as someone who has ranged from moderate daily exercise to hardcore daily activity all my life - and while my body might range from softer to more muscular, it does not go down past a certain size. Not while eating a full, nourishing diet. I don't think I'm alone in this either.

@Pantra: I don't know, I think for already pretty thin people pilates or weight training can really re-shape their bodies. I am on the slender side and if I do any kind of strength training I get pretty wiry and thin fairly quickly, without changing my diet.

@Pantra: Of course I have absolutely no idea, but my guess is, if anything, size 4 is already below the preferred body weight of most people in the 6 foot range. But she's a teeny model trying to lose weight so as not to be "the fat one" anymore- is it even reasonable to assume she won't severely change her eating? I'm not sure health is the focus here, if you know what I mean.

@Pantra: I think most people have a not exercising, eating whatever they like size and a regularly exercising, moderately watching their diet size.

I think it would take extreme measures to get her down to the negative size of most models, but I would be at all surprised if she could move down to a size 2 fairly easily.

Haha! As ridiculous as a size 4 "fat" sounds to the fair readers here, I assure you: in the surreal bubble that is NYC, this is a real attitude.

And I will use myself as a witness: I train in kickboxing at least 4 hours a week, and I am wearing a pair of size 4 jeans right now.

Last week, a guy called me...I kid you not, this really happened..."full figured" and "zaftig", because I have T&A.

That, ladies, is how strong the blue pill Matrix is in this town (and Colorado).

With the guy? I laughed and moved on ;)
He wasn't in very good shape anyway, so he probably thought I was gonna kick his ass!!

Ah, you just can't make this shit up. What a book my life story is...

@OneTwoPunch: You speak the truth. I'm in LA, and the same jean size you noted. I had a guy tell me that even though I'm carrying 'extra weight', it's okay because I'm curvy. I won't lie and say that I wouldn't love to drop 10 pounds, but I'm not willing to spend more time at the gym and forgo enjoyable food and alcohol to do it.

@Pantra: Latently homophobic almost. Another freaky but true story: I hung with this skinny-fetish crowd briefly (someone thru work) where all the women dieted and exercised to the point of exhaustion. They introduced me to a man in their crowd, who was like "I don't date women over a buck fifteen!" I heard that, laughed and said "Then, he doesn't like women."

The very next woman he dated? Uh, she was a DRAG KING, a woman who gets paid to dress like a man onstage, and I am not making this up. It solidified my gut feeling that men who are afraid of boobs and butts and hips ain't really looking for a gal, ifyaknowhatimsayin (wink wink): not that there's anything wrong with that!
