Chanel Spring 2010 Ad Campaign


Here's your first look at Claudia Schiffer for Chanel Spring 2010 Ad Campaign. The ad was shot by Lagerfeld in Buenos Aires. He always thinks outside the box when it comes to this stuff. I like it, not a big fan of the hat though.

The campaigns for Spring 2010 are rolling in. You already seen Marc Jacobs, Lanvin, and Givenchy, now the most recent Versace Spring 2010 campaign is out, and guess who it is, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall's little cute offspring, Georgia May Jagger. The new comer made her way on the charts after several magazine covers and spread which gave her buzz and now your girl's got her big break ever, replacing Gisele Bundchen as the face of Versace! What more can a young girl ask for! Congrats to you sweet heart. Your thoughts on our ice blonde, gap tooth (Lara Stone #2) bundle of joy?

2010 Baby

Sending out my best wishes to my dear followers, and readers. 2010 is here, my God how 09' went by so damn fast! I loved it, however this year was a year of non-stop partying.

So that's one thing I want to change, along with that (dont judge me on this one) can't be too nice anymore, tired of being shitted on so if I come off bitchy, dont take it personally, I love you, just have my reasons. Secondly, I'm just going to be me, surround mysefl around positive, and loving people. Live my llife! On that note...

Givenchy Spring 2010 Ad Campaign


Super model Natalia Vodianova has slipped her way back on the campaign trails this season. The mom/model is the new face of Givenchy's Spring 2010 campaign, along side (the in-house model) our favorite Italian beauty, Mariacarla Boscono. Do we like? Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot the two beautys for the campaign. The patterns on the outfits are soo geometric, if you stare at it too long, you will get dizzy. Besides that, the shots taken in a blank white background with four hot hunks, I find really cool and minimal.

Balmain Spring 2010 Croc Is Exclusive


You want the Balmain Spring 2010 crocodile tail coat, well guess what? Its going to cost yuh, and will cost yuh big time! The jacket is not no Alexander Wang croc jacket that you can get for $1k. Its Balmain so of course it will be more, the jacket retails for a whopping $73,935.00!!! WOW! The Balmain exclusive piece is sold on LuisaviaRoma.com for $74k, along with the many other extremely pricey pieces from their spring collection sold on the website. Talk about a hefty price, I would love to have this jacket, I would wear till the day I die, its so worth it, and such a huge huge investment! With Balmain, expect good quality since all their piece are mainly done by hand, basically selling couture garments as ready-to-wear pieces. The Balmain customer know what it means to "get what you pay for." I love love Christopher Decarnin.

Rihanna - Hard

Rihanna's video "Hard" is fucking sick. The hardcore fashion was just so dope, the blend of spikey shoulders in sand dunes, and metals with mud. I'm loving her white Maison Martin Margiela Haute Couture top, with the army Russian cap teaching soldiers how to march. Oh and to top it off, her huge hat with the gold embroidery, reminds me of the hats that went down the runways of Proenza Schouler Spring 2008 collection, even though its not but when I looked at it at first glance it sure did. Yes WERQ RiRi we love you!

Must See Flick


Tom Ford has succeeded in design, perfume, and now in movie production. His goal was to become a director in which he studied and worked hard long years on. He's finally done it and this film, "A Single Man," is the fruit of his tree. Starring one of my favorite actresses, Julianne Moore, the movie is a story that centers on an English professor who, after the sudden death of his partner tries to go about his typical day in Los Angeles. I really want to see this film after watching the trailer, check it out and from what I hear, the flick is already receiving Golden Globe, and Oscar buzz.

Amerie Sporting The Rodarte $3K Almost-Pants Boots


Amerie was spotting donning those amazing Rodarte "Almost-Pants" boots. She could of worn them better, not going to lie, however, love her and her music, and your girl still looked good. She definitely werq'ed them, and she's one of the first to be seen wearing these incredibly expensive boots.

Rodarte Thigh High Boots ($3,688) from the Fall 2009 collection, amazing Nicholas Kirkwood collabo.

Lara Oh Lara

Why is this gal so beautiful. She's one of my favorites along with my many others like Raquel, Jourdan, Lily, Erin and Snejana. Lara holds this beauty that distinct her from the rest of the other girls. Besides her curvaceous figure (and no sweetie when I say that, I don't mean fat!) but also her bleached eye brows, ice blonde hair, and obvious gap tooth which I find really sexy. She's indeed a sex symbol in the modeling world of fashion if you ask me. Many say Gisele , or an Adriana, but Lara is the epitome of 'em all. She is hot unlike the rest of her piers. She's definitely the modern day Brigitte Bardot. These fun and playful photos I just loved of her and thought I should share 'em. Lara Stone, gurrl this is why your my fave!

Oh Sex Aint Over

The sexy gals of NYC is back for some more, looking hot, fab, and much more stylish then ever. Get "Carrie'd" far away for the new Sex and the City 2 flick! I've never been anymore excited for May! Heres your first look at the trailer. Look below and place in your thoughts!




I know you guys are so excited as I am. Any thoughts on what happened, like are Big and Carrie really happy, and do they last? Whats going to happen between Samantha and her new man that we got a sneak peak of in the clip? Does our innocent Charlette start popping out more babies? And if Miranda is still being a cunt and not giving up the puss to her husband, allowing him to cheat on her again? These are all the the things I cant wait to know, that we need to know, dont you agree? Guess we'll have to wait until May and see.

Wild Winter

Boy I love living in New York. For the people, the restaurants, cafes, boutiques like the BBB's (Barneys, Bendels, and Bergdorfs) and all that comes within this concrete jungle we all live in. Sucks that its the winter out here now, fucking hate the winter because its the one season when you cant dress cute, because your too busy trying to keep warm. So you put on the ugliest wool jacket, since its usually the ugly items that keep you the most warm, and your on your way....

...as you can see from my photo above, its the middle of December, and look how I dress, not according to the weather, so on that note I plan on going on a vacation to a much warmer climate, like LA very soon. At the end of this month at least. Cant wait to take my blog viewers along with me on that journey.

This was just a little update xoxo

Proenza Schouler Spring 2010 Heels: Neon Baby

Hey Jack and Lazaro, I live for your shoes!!!!!!!!!!!! Proenza Schouler's shoes for Spring 2010 was out of this world. I tottally live for 'em. I'm slowly gradually venturing off into heels lately, and if I was to buy another pair of heels it will be these below. Check out the collection of my faves from their Spring 2010 collection. The shits dope!





above all, I live for the ones above, that acid green & turquoise....WERQ!


But I also meant to add, if you know Proenza Schouler, then you'll know that their shit aint cheap! I mean for a normal PS1 tote, its going to cost you bout $2k and about $15k-$30k for one that's either in croc or python! A fucking button-up or simple cotton top with a little Proenza flair will fun about $700. Its not fair, so I can imagine how much these shoes may cost, however, I am a person who likes to splurge, and I only splurge for the right reasons...these shoes may be the right reason.


We'll see....

Show 'Em How It's Done!

Vogue show them how to werq!


Yes WERQ Pivovarova!!!! Sasha Pivovarova shot with indie bands hand picked by yours truly (Anna Wintour) for an editorial spread in Vogue Magazine of this month, combining fashion and music. I Love It! So amazing. Sasha was shot with MGMT, Mika, The Horrors, and plus more. Check out these amazing shots below!


Steven Miesel takes all the credit for these great shots of the model with the bands, in poppy electric like clothing, with wild hair and crazy make up. Looking at these shots honestly reminds me of why I love fashion! Its so much fun, it's art, art on clothing, a life style, and a way of life. Like they, if we didn't like fashion, we'd be naked.


PS how cute is Sasha? Besides looking like Gemma Ward, in which many people say because that sort of put Sasha on the spot, her comparison to Gemma. However, I think Sasha's look holds that grimey, grungey, uniqueness, that Kate Moss has. The two of them to me, look alike sometimes. Sasha reminds me allot like Kate, simple pure young beauty, with a masculine edge. Sasha you werq, your so hawt! I live for her!

Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon in Dolce and Gabbana S/S 2010



Madonna's little girl is all grown up now. Lourdes showed up to the movie premiere of "Nine," with her mum Madge this past weekend and boy did the duo look great. Madonna representing her Italian designers friends, (now as the face of the fashion house's campaign) both her and Lourdes showed up to the premiere wearing pieces from Dolce&Gabbana Spring 2010 collection. Love her daughter's uber punk style, motorcycle jacket over a cute beaded ruffle mini, and combat boots, its so hip and chic. We like?

Looks Like Phi is Done People


Say so long to Phi people! The recession this year has hit fashion hard, first it was Lacroixe this year filing for bankruptcy, and now the poor little (still young label, founded in 2003) Phi will be closing because of the recession's raft. The Spring 2010 collection will not be delivered; the pre-Spring 2010 delivery, which arrived in stores this month will be its last. Staffers were informed today of the label's closing, and no word on what critically acclaimed creative director Andreas Melbostad plans to do next. I love their leather goods though, still want those pants Erin Wasson wore by Phi, to the 2009 Met Gala earlier in the year. Well, I will keep you posted if anything more comes up on this matter, but for right now, their putting the label under wraps from what I read. But does this mean its completely over for the label, no more? I have know clue, but I hope not! It will be tragic because the label has been doing so well, especially this year, which is why I'm so surprised of why their even having this issue.

UPDATE:

The lable is still open, its just the store on Greene Street in NYC that's closing down, however, the label may still be open. The Pre-Spring 2010 collection will be the last collection sold in that boutique before it closes down.

"It's a really challenging climate right now for luxury goods," said Phi chief executive officer Julia Hansen. "There is not so much confidence in that market going forward."

Chanel Heist

Lagerfeld venturing his talent into short films, I found this one pretty clever, and yet a bit amusing and cute. Karl Lagerfeld created a short film for the Chanel website that features model Lara Stone and his muse Baptiste, running in and out of several Chanel boutiques, with bags filled with unpaid Chanel items in Paris. Check it out below...its really cool!

Madonna for Dolce&Gabbana Spring 2010 Ad Campaign

Madge lives the Italian life style as she pretends to wash dishes and eat pasta for Dolce and Gabbana's Spring 2010 ad campaign. Madonna have'nt looked any better, how old is she now, 50? Wow you better WERQ!



Lanvin Spring 2010 Ad Campaign

Your first look at Jamie Bochert for Lanvin Spring 2010 campaign. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot the model running throught the halls of a New York studio. The shots are really amazing, and very different from any other Lanvin campaign I know. Your thoughts?
