Every ting is Kris down in Dior...
The new line is 'RASTA' ... and anyone who knows what Rastafari is about will totally appreciate how Dior has understood that ethos.. with $850 'rasta' dior t-shirts emblazoned with Red Gold and Green... one love eh!
Dior should be more brave and take on other religions how about them using a star of David for their next collection! (yeah right!)

Cool Runnin' Mon.
I jes got me $18,000.00 Dior running suit with the "Lion Of Babylon" on the ass. Can't wait to go to Brooklyn to show it off.

Remember when Jean Paul Gaultier did the "Orthodox Jewish Look". It was genius but he crucified for it (as it were).
Esther wasn't the first Hon!

Actually, even before JPG's stuff (Boy)George was wearing the designs at The Foundery which featured not only hebrew but the star of david. (you might remember he wore them in the Do you really wanna hurt me video)... I used to have a few of them...god only knows what they said(What I was wearing!) back then! LOL

Saw the most amazing hair on the Coney Island-bound Q tonight...black girl with hair dyed red, gold, and green. Front third of her hair, including bangs, was red; the middle third, gold; and so on. At first I thought it was a spray on color, as it was so richly hued. But on closer inspection, I could see roots. Just amazed me as I'd never seen someone with hair so thick and wirey able to get dye so vibrant. Dior Dior sweetie. Though I do still loathe that Galliano.

Fashion is alive an well in Brighton Beach... was there the other wk with our kid... I was just IN AWE at the shops there...and the fashions.. women in acid colored crimpolean pants and tight tight t-shirts (with glitter or designs on the tops of course).. hair bleached too wire wool status and hard lip liner.. and the shoes!! wow! There are two great shoe shops on that main strip that sell just amazing shoes. Diane Arbus shoes (if she made shoes!) (google Arbus, Michael!)... they had white MENS patent leather shoes with cuban heels!! in the shop window . Just fantastic stuff..
The other great area for fashion sweetie used to be Flatbush avenue nr/Church havent been there in ages but it used to be fab.. (when I am next in Kingston town,JA in Aug I should take pictures in the clubs! as they really do believe in FASHION there!).. Manhattan is all bland these days... its just a big yuppie muggle mall... bring on the red gold on green (hair that is!)

Imagine, a president who knows "you can never have enough hats, gloves, and shoes..." Sweetie.

Bespoke Sailor

IF John Kerry is elected president, he will certainly be the best-dressed chief executive in the nation's history. A dandy who met Kerry at a 1971 reception in Minneapolis before a Eugene McCarthy-headlined antiwar rally noticed that Kerry was wearing custom-made shoes from the London shop of John Lobb. "Are those Lobb?" our source asked. "Yes," confirmed Kerry, who was also wearing bespoke gray flannel trousers below his military-issue khaki shirt and his dog tags. Our dapper source also suspects Kerry had his dress whites tailored on Savile Row because, "Even admirals don't have uniforms that well cut."

The shows this season did not turn me out too much. alot of beginners and not alot of imagination. I was PISSING myself however with the Bill Blass show. The gentleman who took over for Mr. B is brilliant in using models of yesteryear in his shows. Bill Blass does cater to a more mature client. Miss motherfucking PAT CLEVELAND was absolutely INSANE on the runway. I have always adored her from when I was a kid and saw her in Detroit doing a Halston show downtown at the Renassiance Center. She has to be in her late 50's at least and still CUNT!!! She does this tny little mincing step with hips, hips, hips and does this totally exaggerated hand placement that is soooo theatrical and fierce. They show it constantly on FULL FRONTAL FASHION. check her out. She really is genius. Chanel is also using her in the European shows. She is what a model should be. She sells the garment dahhhhrling. I am sooo tired of the cookie cutter cantering horses that meander down the runways these days. I want DRAMA. Pat Cleveland is a Goddess.

Sweetie, I love that you caught that.
The designer is Michael Vollbrach. (I do the music). He is great. He actually got crucified in the press for using those girls. They said that his models were old.
OLD!!!!
Those girls are legends!
This season he used all the tired goose-stepping nothing young models and sat in the audience surrounded by, as he put it, "my girls". In other words fashion icons. It was a very cool "fuck you" to the fashion press. He was like, "there, are you happy now? The girls are goose-stepping like every other show". Meanwhile he was in the audience surrounded by beauty.
(and I was in the DJ booth with my lady wife eating a bagle.)
And you are fierce for picking up on that.

Just got back from the gym.
Was working out with Calvin. (well, not really, we were just using the same machine at one point). The whole time he was OBSESSED by this (alleged) spot on his Calvin wire rim glasses. He kept rubbing and rubbing and rubbing and spitting on them and rubbing and rubbing some more. He just couldn't get the spot out!
Very "Lady Macbeth" if you know what I mean.

quote:

---

Lady Macbeth rubs her hands as if washing them and says " yet here's a spot . . . . Out, damned spot, out I say!" As she continues to "wash" her hands, her words betray her guilt to the watchers.

---

Keep rubbin' Calvin, keep rubbin'.

PS
I'll never forget the time at Jackie 60 when Sweetie beat her up with the now famous words, "Be gone old queen!"
Aslo very Shakespearean!

Fashion Week always makes me want to starve.

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
You look great.
You should see Calvin. He looks like a skinny old twig. I'm sorry but there IS such a thing as "too thin"! Maybe not "too rich" but too thin...
definately!

There is such a thing as "too thin", you're right, Daddy. Years ago I worked for an interior decorator with a roster of uber-rich, ultra ultra thin billionaire socialite wives. Some of them looked thin and brittle enough in their Chanel to snap in a strong breeze -- though of course in actuality they were all ferocious pirahnas who would just as soon rip you apart as look at you. In particular I used to wonder what kept Mercedes Bass from sliding down the drain in her gold-plated bathtub ... that bitch was rail skinny with no hips or ass to speak of. She must shit through her ears.

Daddy, I shouldn't be surprised really, I just thought it was funny that you mentioned Michael Vollbrach, he is VERY cult. Is he still around doing clothes? I remember his kaftans. And speaking of John Galliano, the story goes that he was thrown out of the Viv's Conduit store because he was sketching some of her designs (the World's End store was just dying to tell me this). Poor John, although I do admire him. I betcha Daddy has some interesting stories to tell of John during the Danceteria days.

I think CK has lost his marbles.. but has THE best PR PR sweetie. I mean, reallly, which celeb can literally interrupt a basketball game walking dazed and confused onto the court and 'get away with it' there was SO little in the media about it... I remember it though!! LOL
The gawker web site - bless! - printed that the chick who won Americans Next Top Model show is now working at Walgreens on 5th/33 - bless! -
As for too thin! Lex! No diets please!! There's something really odd about this media-fashion-society and American culture that perpetuates that Karen Carpenter look. It defo tastes to me of making women look fragile so men can look strong/masculine. Honestly, I really find men that can take ME on as a thick woman are "MEN"... totally confident in who they are...do not feel intimidated by a REAL woman. It's actually NOT real for women to look that rail thin.. these women starve themselves! How bizarre is this culture? I mean, take a step back and think about this fashion, really, its rather sick.
Needless to say there is also the extreem here in the States which is that HUGE portions and extreems in size, which is also bizzare.

Hi Julian... I mean Mister X.
Michael Vollbrach is a RULER! Of course you would worship being a ruler yourself. Yes, he is designing. He took over Bill Blass. He has been crucified in the press for things like using old models. (as Sweetie mentioned above) It's funny though, the coolest people LOVE him. As a matter of fact, yesterday at the gym this queen said to me, "I've got to tell you, I thought 'Bill Blass' was heaven". (My gym is not too gay!) But he looked like a total East Village freak. I was really surprised. Cool people really know him and like his work. He gave me one of his books... GENIUS! And... he's a really nice guy.
As far as John Galliano, I'm sorry to disapoint but I don't have anything good.

And Anna Nicole...
If you lose one once of tit I'll never speak to you again!

I agree with Sweetie about (the old and the new) Bill Blass. I always thought he was the true, old guard, American designer...and I remember the polka dots in Vogue in the 70s! I thought they were great.
