Nikki's Profile
- I have a hummus addiction problem. My main aim in life is to find a way for our generation to be subversive without being repetitive. I sketch Satorialist stills when I feel stressed. I'm waiting for the day when I'll find non sequiturs funny.

The Wicked Queen? OMG, she is soo 70 years ago.
She wishes Marc was inspired by her! :-)

I swear to God when Heidi said "Do it" I had the biggest Arnold Schwarzenegger flashback.
I'd tickle Tim too. Just as soon as that damned restraining order runs out...

Q: Diane von Furstenberg told me she thinks you may not be the best designer aesthetically, but that you’re by far the smartest. What do you make of that statement?
KL: And look at her prints, hmm?...If she were an expert, perhaps her designs may be more impressive...You have to be a genius so other people can make such statements...[Coco] Chanel herself was not limited. At 86, perhaps, she was limited and when the miniskirt arrived she went out of fashion by resisting it, but I’m not stupid in that way.
Wow. Handbags at dawn.

Whose shots were these? I forget.
Am I buzzing in the right direction with Mert and Marcus?

Vivienne was interviewed on the same show Agyness Dean was the following week (Friday Night With Jonathan Ross: UK equivalent to Letterman) and her idea of conservative is not being anarchic. All of her work seems to have been about subverting conventional style and clothes being a direct reflection of your attitude to life and society. I can't even imagine what she wore to the British Museum!
PS: I'm very disappointed I didn't get to see the Terracotta Warriors. :-(

Nice job. I think I'll attack one of my million white tanks and do the very same thing. Maybe looking to the left... :-)

Personally I thought "Showgirls" was a masterpiece. Enter: Sequin vacation dress :-)
I'll take the Garbo jacket and pick up other bits and pieces around Urban Sale-time. Oh the shackles of life on a budget!

If only there was some way to rid the world of PerezHilton. Maybe someone could work out how to delete Paint from his computer.
Anyhows, no publicity is bad publicity I guess. Maybe Reebok will appear with an offer after all.

Same goes for "ligers" (cross between lions and tigers) and all the other strange mixes out there. Liger is just the best fun to say :-)

This one I might just queue up for...
Though after Natalie's comment, maybe just metaphorically. haha

The week that I pick to go to Greece is the week Roland Mouret makes his appearance. So now I'm going on a trip I can't afford and I miss out on the Design Icon debate.
In my next life I better come back as a trust fund princess!

I'm glad my comment's going to fit in with this thread.
It's annoyed me for years that Gwen has picked up harajuku style and portrayed it as akin to Pokemon. She completely ignores the gothic influences just so she can justify working with Akon. And I'm not even going to start on Love.Angel.Music.Baby, her mute imaginary backup dancers. Sigh.

Wow. My GoogleReader is up in the background while I work and even I wasn't as fast as Ann. Props to you!
Cynthia Nixon was on the Graham Norton Show and said she was told the first showing in London was to "build momentum"...to lead up to the NYC Premiere etc. Even though I'm a Londoner, I think it's madness!

This is further evidence for why I like to leave the Financial Times to one side.

Work is going to be killer for me this week so I'm really glad you guys are in town again to cover the shows since I might even not have time for thelondonpaper coverage(!) Giles tomorrow - woo!
So since Passport Control didn't manage it, I just wanted to say:
Welcome to London! :)
(The Selfridges windows are my favourite; between that store and Liberty I spend as much time outside as I should inside.)

Guest @ 1.34: Thank you!
Although I just googled her and she's a lot more mainstream looking than I remember. For one, she has eyes.
My memory is either warped or really really bad.
