Alexander McQueen, Zoolander, and possible genius of Will Farrell

I have a lot to say about this current "Ready To Wear" collection by the fantastic Alexander McQueen. I find it hilarious that this is the collection that he chose to show as ready to wear. How funny is that?? Second, I believe this collection was first shown on the Will Ferrell runway as the Derilique collection. I'm not sure if he is commenting on where we are, or where we will be very shortly.
I don't want this to be a negative review of the show at all, it was amazing, a beautiful show, and I would seriously wear each and every piece, even if it meant that I would look like a tart. The recycling, broken glass thing was quite amazing, and just like a good film, is making me have all sorts of other thoughts about life, and fashion, which is sort of what one should do after seeing such a show.
Bravo Lee, bravo.

Barbie+Colette=cool

I wasn't too keen on all this Barbie 50th anniversary business, until I saw these windows for Colette. I'm not sure why. I like Barbie, had many of them as a girl, she is a great girl etc. I just simply wasn't into the whole anniversary as this massive global ad campaign. Next they will be selling Barbie perfume, and cosmetics for women, and that would put me over the edge. However, this window display for Colette is super cool, and I only wish I was in Paris to see it.

A General Francophile Post

Today in Paris a show was unveiled to celebrate the sailors influence of fashion over the years. I wish I was in Paris to see it today! Who doesn't want a Gaultier striped top?
