LIVE! from New York! it’s Fashion Week

I’m feeling UNYEEZY

….and for good reason, I would later in the day find out. 

At 4am, I woke up in a panic, that I absolutely need gold boots. This was brought on by the fact, that the gold Balenciaga’s are sold out everywhere. Pffft….

People, if you’re going to buy anything for fall, it’s gotta be those damn gold boots. Razor sharp, mirror finish, Basta. So if you’re the type of person who cares about this sort of thing, these are THE HOTTEST 5 - yes FIVE shoes for fall. I’m not dicking around with a top ten list.

1. As we’ve just discussed: The elusive gold Balenciaga boot

2. The Glam-Rock platform boot.

This is right up my alley. I can re-live my glory days via my feet. These Saint Laurent boots are all I need. New York Dolls. Hello.

3. Anything over the knee.

Again, razor sharp, the higher the better. Case in point. Separately, I despise each one of these pieces. Hoodie? Sloppy. A necessary evil, and most of all, “meh”.  MA1 bomber? Wouldn’t dream of it. I’ve spent most of my shopping time, curating the perfectly cut sleeve/armhole, and now you’re proposing this? And over the knee boots? Pretty Woman.

Yet, this is how I want to look. And that is how you sell energy. THE hottest commodity of ALL. TIME.

4. The punked-up ballet flat.

As my mother once proclaimed, in the shoe department, at Saks, “I am NOT paying $800 for a heel and a strap” and that was ten years ago! Ditto. I need at least 2 pounds of shoe for $800. See #2 Saint Laurent Glam-Rock boots.

5. Red or White ankle boots.

If you’re a glutton for punishment, and ya got any diñero left after the above, a blinding white or candy apple red boot is what you want to search for. That damn Balenciaga is turning out a good one. Go ahead, try and find them.

So Yeezy season 4 is this afternoon and I’m won’t be there. Apparently there was some pre-fashion week hysteria as KW performed last night. Returning to the scene of the crime, how can I not mention the performance last night at Madison Square Gardens. The man compared himself to Steve Jobs, and Henry Ford for fucks sake, at the VMA’s last week. So my prediction for Yeezy season 4 is, a whole “LOTTA” Vetements, Hood By Air, and Y-3 project, because: “a boner”

Update: Regarding Y/season4, or as I am now referring to it, “The Roosevelt Island Ruse of 2016″,  I will do, what Stella Bugbee, Editorial Director of The Cut said: “The most responsible thing we could all do, would be, to write NOTHING about this show”. You can read her live tweets here if you care to anger yourself further….. 

Last night, Tom Ford did what he does best; make big, luxurious statement pieces. Leather, fur, velvet, a few 70′s pimp coats, and some big-ass jewelry.

While people were sweating their asses off, on the bus to Roosevelt Island, I was enjoying a nice cocktail at the London. Right now, I’m thinking about over-dressing and the “bad-donut-shop”, immortalized in Patti Smith’s novel, “Just Kids”. If Lotta Volkova could travel back in time, I think it would be a hot-bed of inspiration for her. THAT, and Billy’s Topless. 

Live from NEW YORK! It’s Fashion Week!

One Dress a Day Challenge

January: Red Redux

Love and Friendship / Kate Beckinsale as Lady Susan Vernon

In the country, Lady Susan continues to wear demure mourning gowns, but on a trip to London, she lets loose with this spectacular ruby-red satin.

Costume Designer Eimer Ni Mhaoldomhnaigh had this to say about the costumes for this film, which were apparently done on quite a tight budget:

"So this is a little novella that she [Jane Austen] wrote, one of the first things that she wrote, so it’s set earlier than most of her big novels like Pride and Prejudice and all of those. So we decided to set the film a little bit earlier also, like late 1780s or 1790s, so the fashion between 1790 or even the mid 1790s really changed quite dramatically. A lot of it was influenced by the French revolution, historical events that were happening at the time.... I really kind of pushed for setting it in the late 1780s. It’s a comedy as well, these big dresses, these really lend themselves to--there’s such a drama about those costumes. I just felt  that it would really add to the performance, the door would open and she went swoosh into the room (laugh) and this huge dress, o my gosh, these dresses are built for something like this, for drama and comedy and fun."
