LC Does Kohls

Regardless of Speidi’s attempts to destroy her, Lauren Conrad seems to come back stronger than ever, be it with books (best-seller LA Candy will become a movie), or a fashion line. For the latter, she joined forces with Kohl’s and was able to put together a simple and cute collection (“easy-breezy-beautiful” comes to mind)…

Beckham’s Spring 2010 Collection Shows Improvement From The Past

Victoria Beckham presented a new collection and for those of you who thought this air-headed princess would never amount to more than being a hot housewife/retired pop star, this is the third time in a row that the New York critics have applauded her efforts…

John Galliano’s Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear His Best Collection Yet

I love John Galliano’s romantic take on fashion. Ever since Anna Wintour’s illusive mercy fell upon him and recognized him as an up and coming fashion auteur, he has consistently developed collections surrounded by elements of the past and the future of fashion. For the house of Dior, he has been able to showcase several themes from revolutions and wars to the aesthetics of Christian Dior’s atelier several decades ago. However, his own fashion show proves not only his relevance to the fashion community, but that he is only getting better with each and every collection.

Cyrus & Azria Collaboration A Shameful Sham

To express my feelings about what I saw, I must begin with the basics. The fabric is nauseating. It is basically wash-and-throw away, unworthy of even a Forever 21 rack. The lacking of quality in the fibers is a damn shame. Considering that Walmart can get basically anything at a discounted price, it surprises me that they would commit their name to buying these products. Notwithstanding the poor threads, the designs are so simple and uninspired I am also very surprised that Max Azria would lend his name to this charade. See, before this forsaken line, Walmart sold Miley t-shirts and pants, and even those were okay. They were for kids, for simple girls who worshipped her. But now, for young adults or teenagers, it seems rather appalling that they are expected to think this is fashionable. Target’s Gossip Girl inspired line is infinitely better (and believe me, that’s saying a lot) and it has been more cared for and closely watched by someone who knows about the fashion industry. Here, basically two celebrities lent their voices and personalities to sell a completely irrelevant product.

Musings On New Leona Lewis Single, “Happy”

I never write about music. I never care about many things in this planet. See, to me, clothes and fashion are everything. And I do not mean it in a superficial and shallow way. No, clothes as means of self-expression, are depictions of pure genius, and the living breathing sources of inspiration for me. Clothes are alive. Yet, this time around I am breaking the rule. I love the new single Leona Lewis single, “Happy,” that premiered in the UK last week, it’s definitely headed to global superstardom.

Tim Gunn Slams Jon “Douchebag” Gosselin

I love Tim Gunn. Why? Because he just slammed the biggest douchebag in America, or dare I say, the whole world. He publicly referred to Jon Gosselin’s style as “the slobification of America.” And it’s true. So I’ve decided to create an article combining some of Jonny-le-douche’s precious garments…

Look Like A Million Bucks Without Spending It

Recently, André Leon Talley graced Time Out New York with a short interview, probably as part of Anna-Goddess-Wintour’s strategy to promote “The September Issue,” the documentary of her work on Vogue’s largest issue ever, September 2007′s. Even though it’s a very uninteresting interview, it does convey an important reality: people should mix and match designer and regular brands in order to look cool without having to spend money they do not have. I have done this before, as any fashionista, and there are some tips I am more than willing to share (especially because I know 99% of the humanity has no clue whatsoever on how to dress).
