I love Time: Style and Design. It's the only time I read every article and will probably be the only issue in the next 6 months not profiling a Democrat worker bee.

I think the cultural relevance protestations would have made more sense had we not already seem the Count from Sesame Street! Jeez. Hipster-phobia anyone?

The hair reminds me of that goth-ish cartoon girl that used to be on everyone's backpacks around the time Korn were zeitgeist central. Damned if I can remember her name...

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.

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.
