WTFino, Valentino?
More of this:
Classic shape, cool flounce, navy-on-black badassery, sorta sexy. I can even deal with those cuffs.
But please, may we see less of this … couture, cropped choir robe?
And much less of this … I don’t even know what this is:
Whatever it is, I liked it better the first time, when Deanna Troi wore it to the final frontier:

Who’s this “Ibid” character anyway?
High schoolers wouldn’t be skeptical of ibid … this must be undergrad. FAVORITE!
Many of the statements in this paper are also noted as coming from a person only identified as ‘Ibid’ in the footnotes. I am not skeptical of Ibid’s view, but I would like to find his/her article and read it for myself.
Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford FOR THE WIN. Cap sleeve, asymmetrical draped neckline, crazy awesome abs, statuesque, chic cuff and cocktail ring, and hot bride-of-batman cape. Go Tom. And, apparently, go macrobiotic diets, personal trainers, and yoga.
I can’t tell if I like these shoes or if they’re totally Mad Hatter.
DVF’n in the Dark
Is it just me, or does this dress from DVF’s latest Fall collection feel eerily reminiscent of Dev’s “Dancin’ in the Dark” video?

I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but here’s more support for us teaching fools.

Fashion Rehab: Missoni’s Road to Recovery
If Missoni’s SS2011 line was a drug-fueled PowerPuff Girls adventure gone wrong, Missoni’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection is the first week in rehab. That is to say, a whisper of the true girl is barely audible … even though she’s hiding underneath lots and lots of protective layers. She’s taking a step in the right direction, but the road ahead is long and fraught with potential faux pas.
Exhibit A:
See? The dress underneath all that lime-green and peach hideousness COULD be cute. She COULD make friends in some sensible closet somewhere. But she’s covering herself up with a Hippie-“I live in Oregon but Winter in Ft. Lauderdale”-Grandma Cape. I’ll call it her in-security blanket.
Same goes for Exhibit B:
Is the real, actual Missoni brand hiding somewhere on this photoshopped mannequin? Maybe … Take away that disturbing fur hat-scarf. Take away the TRON belt. Add some fresh, detoxed confidence and lots of bracelets. Add a headband like this one from MiuMiu Resort 2012. Add black leather gloves that stop right at the wrists OR a fitted, black bomber jacket. And to fix the accident that happened below the knees, add a pair of killer black platforms.
Presto! Missoni’s no longer rollin’. Or hiding. Missoni is just … Missoni. (With a little help from her fellow Italian girlfriends, Miu Miu and Prada.)
