The chairs behind Yves Saint Laurent make me think of how I pictured the chairdogs from Dune. Except... now that I look at a different angle, they appear to be gargantuan baby chickens. God, I am so confused right now. #catherinedeneuve
DVF! I thought I was the only sink-sitter. When people see me doing that, they usually grimace, but it's the only way I can pluck my eyebrows or apply liquid eyeliner. #catherinedeneuve
@prestocaro fears the culling: "I write this sitting in the kitchen sink" is one of the best openers to a book ever (I Capture the Castle). You are not the only one. #catherinedeneuve
@AtomiClash: humanitarian misanthrope: Oh man, I loved that show! I hope you've read The Kid Stays In The Picture, it made me think that that show was pretty accurate. #catherinedeneuve
I think this inclusion of Buckley and wife confirms that this is actually, in fact, a retrospective on caftans and their proponents. Oh, that garment forever immortalized in those most elegant of Sondheim lyrics:
Lounging in their caftans and planning a brunch ... on their own behalf!#catherinedeneuve
@sonjamikail: Nothing is sexier than yards upon yards of fabric. Forget the bandage dress. GIVE ME THE CAFTAN.
The sad thing is, I'm kind of serious.... It's so much more comfortable to eat in, and that tends to be my barometer of a functional article of clothing. #catherinedeneuve
@JerseyGrrrl: I have a shitload of caftans that I sleep in, work in, lounge in, vacation in. Loves. I think I should have been a glamourous adult in the 70s (not meaning Elizabeth Taylor in her biggest period, though that's the occupational hazard of wearing caftans, you can grow and grow and then one day you're the size of a sheep bench). #catherinedeneuve
@BlondeGoddess: That is true. Without a hard and fast waist on anything, it's impossible to tell if you're growing until one day you're required to put on something that buttons or zippers. But maybe someplace you can't wear a caftan isn't a place you or I want to be going.... #catherinedeneuve
The Buckleys would have been fascinating to have dinner with, but I don't think I could have gone through the soup course without drowning William if he started talking political smack.
Also, that is a damn fierce wig that Nancy is wearing. #catherinedeneuve
I think the Buckley's might be included here because they both came from rich families? They are definitely in the "socialite" category. I read an article not too long ago -- Vanity Fair? Or was it the New Yorker? -- that explained their fabulous riches. They hosted grand parties and were friends with the likes of Gloria Vanderbilt, etc.
P.S. I would like the caftan to be brought back. Preferably with turban.
The Alexander shoe looks like a covered stiletto platform, but honestly, the design could quite easily be similar to what I've been seeing in fetish circles for years:
@Nico Deyo: Yeah, it reminded me of a ballet boot when I first saw it too. It is much more curved in front, though, so I could imagine the inner structure going either way. #katemossfortopshop
@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: That's what my boyfriend thinks. I, however, feel that the foot must sit a little lower — since in all the pics, it looks like the thinnest part of the leg, ie slightly above the ankle, is right equal with the top of the shoe. The heel of the foot, according to my theory, would sit somewhere near where the stiletto meets the back of the shoe. You follow? #katemossfortopshop
@Jenna: You know, looking at the picture, I think the line I drew more accurately represents where the top line of a regular heel would be. Meaning, the foot would actually sit lower than the line. I think you are right. I would still like to see a cross section though, I think it probably has teeny tiny unicorns in the sole.

@BlondeGoddess: Dye his hair brown, and this guy could nail it as a young Lagerfeld.
But, according to Community, he does have tiny nipples. #catherinedeneuve
