The Skinny in the Industry 2008-06-09 12:05:15 Thought this was an interesting read to pass along.
Now the male models are losing weight to achieve the new boy body ideal: skinny, pale, feminine. Peter Munro reports.
David Sciola was too big for Paris. Weighing just 76 kilograms with a 32-inch waist (81cm), the 188cm-tall model tipped the scales in the French fashion capital.

American Disgrace 2008-06-11 17:44:45 American Apparel happens to be one of those brands that carries an enormous stigma; normally negative. But, I say who cares. If something is going to add to my wardrobe, I’m all for it. Check out American Apparel’s new unisex big shirt and tank. The tank is not out yet, but [...] Read more:American

Number (N)ine Fall Winter 2008 2008-06-11 11:24:07 With plaids and flannels in an abundance in the Number
(N)ine Fall Winter collection, perhaps it’s time to check out some thrift shops. Take note of the burgundy pants. Those won’t be the last you see. It’s a key color for the new season.

Ann Demeulemeester Fall Winter 2008 2008-06-11 11:06:10 When I first saw the Ann Demeulemeester Fall/Winter 2008 collection, I didn’t like the prints she incorporated. After months, the collection has grown on me. I’m hoping to see more pieces in burgundy and maroon when these hit the stores.

Fall Winter 2008 Pre-Order @ Luisaviaroma 2008-06-12 12:23:33 I have just resumed breathing. Luisaviaroma has started updating their site for the Fall/Winter collections. So far, I’m so impressed with their buys and I’m absolutely ecstatic that Ann Demeulemeester did most of her pieces in dark colorways. My love for Ann blinds me, but I have included highlights after the jump.

One Hilton is Too Much 2008-06-12 11:28:58 I share this with you out of amusement. I was shocked when I found out that blogger Perez Hilton
was releasing a clothing line through Hot Topic. Seriously? He had his big reveal last night in Hollywood and less than a dozen came to see him. I guess even the Hot [...]

Denissi Machev Fall Winter 2008 2008-06-15 13:53:44 Denissi Machev’s clothing line is quirky. All the pieces together are too much for the eyes, but I find the pieces on an individual basis to be really interesting. There are more pictures after the cut, but I would suggest visiting his website to watch a video of the runway show.

Vivienne Westwood Spring Summer 2009 2008-06-26 17:29:33 I don’t flock to Vivienne Westwood’s aesthetic, but I appreciate how quirky and unexpected she is. Just look at the model to the left. I love that she chose to use a man of a heftier build. It snaps you out of the fashionable idea that the only way to look is tall and lanky. [...] Read more:Spring

Style Watch: Belted Apparel 2008-06-26 16:59:26 One thing in abundance at the Etro show the other day were belts. I already took note of this trend and I have a feeling it is not going anywhere. But the real question is, “Are you brave enough to take your belt to new heights?”
