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.
When I click on the link it says Aquaphor, not Eucerin. Where does she mention Eucerin? I do love my aquaphor and started using it as an under eye night cream recently. It seems to work better than the $85 per bottle stuff I was using before.
@MJ: Did anybody consider that maybe it was a slip of language? English isn't her native tongue, after all, and I know I've made some mistakes like that before (granted, mine weren't made for the public).
An entire village? I would make everyone dress up like the villagers from Beauty and the Beast and I would be Belle EVERY MORNING. It would be so fucking Rad.
There goes the baker with he tray like always, the same old bread and rolls to sell.....
@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: That's exactly where my mind went with it too. Its a little creepily Marie Antoinette-esqe, but an old fashioned town with modern plumbing, and the ability to pretend life is a musical? Sign me up.
Does anyone else find it really annoying that Kiefer headbutted some guy named Jack? Because every time someone comments on how they are so fond of "Jack" and how "Jack" did nothing wrong, I immediately think they are talking about "Jack" in the "Bauer" variety, not the fashion designer variety.
Re Stella, Liv and Kate: Is there an ironclad rule that the famous children of famous people all have to be BFFs with each other? I mean, who chauffeured them to the party, Sean Lennon?

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.
