Anonymously Yours, Part II...

Still at it, this vitriolic little cunt, who has yet to actually prove that theyre not an amateur. Seems to me like someone with such a high opinion of themselves, not to mention absolute certainty i...

The Beautiful Fall...

I have to admit that when I saw the first image from the Spring Summer 2011 Vuitton campaign it left me a bit underwhelmed. Besides not looking quite how I pictured it, I kind of felt like it could h...

Barbie Girls...

It is my belief that the only thing worse than falling into a rut yourself is having to bear witness to somebody elses. Unfortunately a rut is exactly what were witnessing with Guccis advertising the...

Mrs. Draper, youre trying to seduce me...

I have somewhat mixed feelings about the intersection between Hollywood and fashion. On the one hand I understand it and have come to accept that most American fashion magazine covers feature celebri...

Shiny, shiny...

In the year or so since I came into contact with my first Bond No. 9 fragrance Ive spent a lot of time getting to know the line. For those unfamiliar with Bond No. 9 theyre a New York based niche per...

Return of the King...

Its been six long years since Tom Ford took his last bow on a fashion runway, although take it from me at times its felt like an eternity. There have truly been moments when I have been keenly aware ...

Walk on the Wild Side...

Here in the Northeast fall is in full swing, and while Im already sick of the shortened days and Im absolutely dreading winter I do take some comfort in the fact that this time of year suits my perfu...

Do. Not. Want...

With the number of fragrances Ive smelled so far easily in the few-hundred region Im surprised to say that Ive only just come across a scent that, to me, smelled exactly like something else. Oh sure ...

Louis VuittonWell, Paris fashion week has come and gone ending yet another seasons worth of shows. I have to admit that this week in Paris has been sort of low on emotional reactions from me. Thats n...

Bare Essentials...

LanvinImagine, if you will, a Lanvin collection stripped bare of all beading, feathers, fringing, draping, volume and jewelry. Easier said than done, right? Thats because all of those things, which o...

Like a strand in the wind...

Roberto CavalliIn a way it makes sense that Roberto Cavalli, granddaddy of the glammed-up boho babe aesthetic, would have the final word on all things hippie-deluxe this season. In just 40 looks he m...

The long and the short of it...

VersaceIf you were to play a word association game and the chosen word was Versace, Id be willing to bet that "restrained" wouldnt be a response. Lets face it, there are dozens of adjectives ...

Tourist Trap...

PradaNot many designers can manage to do something interesting with as tired a theme as resort-wear, but then not many designers have as twisted a mind as Miuccia Prada. In rapid change mode yet agai...

Crash and Burn...

GucciI knew it couldnt last. The restraint she showed, the optimism I felt. They were temporary, erased by the new. Logically I knew that Id probably be feeling let down, but I still hoped I wouldnt....

Something Old, Something Nu...

Engrossing myself in the world of fragrance has brought about many different emotions ranging from sheer boredom to pure ecstasy. Falling into the latter category is one of the fragrances I am curren...

Narciso RodriguezOnce upon a time at the beginning of the decade that is rapidly coming to a close, I was a Narciso Rodriguez fan. His razor sharp, super spare dresses that were cut to hug the female...

Love to love you, baby...

Marc JacobsOne can always rely on Marc Jacobs to provide a solid jolt of electricity when fashion week is off to a slow start. Its not that the collections shown so far have been bad necessarily, its...

Guilt trip...

Its been a few months now since Gucci first announced the launch of their newest feminine fragrance, Guilty. My reaction to the news was ambivalence. Gucci has been churning out fragrances a lot more...

The Big BANG...

Hate is a strong word...

But sometimes its the only word that seems appropriate. When the first image from the new Gucci Fall Winter 2010 campaign hit the Fashion Spot, I was excited to see what it would look like. The colle...

Paris, Je ne taime...

Jean Paul GaultierYou know its like clockwork, twice a year at six month intervals Im reminded of just how much I used to love Gaultier. I wish I still did but I just dont anymore. In fact there are ...

Christian DiorI was absolutely not planning on having anything to say about the Dior F/W 2010 Haute Couture collection. Thats pretty much why I stopped reviewing Dior shows, because Ive had nothing t...

Color me shocked...

If I said that Ive hated the ad campaigns Mario Testino has shot for Versace since 2005 it wouldnt be entirely true. Hatred is a feeling, and unless you want to count apathy I havent felt a thing abo...
