HAUTE Designers: Alejandro Ingelmo Footwear

August 26, 2008 · No Comments

 The haters will slay themselves when they see you in these candy coated kicks by Alejandro Ingelmo.  As you high-step it through the crowd you can rest assured that what you’re really stepping on is their self-esteem,  leaving foot prints all up and down an already shaky ego.  Poor children……..

HAUTE!!!: The MET Gala Is Here!…….Anna Wintour Be Praised!

May 9, 2008 · 2 Comments

The Costume Institue’s annual Benefit Gala is an auspicious ocassion that celebrates the beauty and majesty of designers on the forefront of fashion……………..in other words it’s an opportunity for stars to get together and worship Anna Wintour in the hopes that she won’t eat their 1st born.  The highlight of course is the red carpet seeing that this is the most prestigious night in fashion.  Therefore fashnophiles,  it is my pleasure to praise those with a great stylist and RIP NEW BODY CAVITIES for those void of brain activity, that would dare to show up in trash!  Let us proceed:

 

Sweet Lil Camilla Belle in aquamarine Armani Prive…..Oh, pinch her cheeks and slap her toosh and hump her leg.

 

Thandie Newton in Chanel, lookin’ like she’ll slash your tires and steal your man, steal me Thandie baby!

 

Naomi Watts homage to screen sirens in Thierry Mugler……..awkwaaarrdd!

 

Katem’s in Armani, AGAIN! I actually like it, Scientology do a body good.

 

Christina Ricci in haute couture from Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci with that emaciated look that’s so hot right now.

 

My Jenny from the Corner rockin’ that post baby body in Alberta Ferretti.  Don’t be fooled by the rocks that she’s got, these 50 carat earrings and carat cuffs from Loraine Swartz cost more than your govenment housing…..

 

Rock princess Liv Tyler in Calvin Klein…..now that’s publicity you can’t pay for Calvin.

Gown by Calvin Klein, Sergio Rossi heels, David Webb jewels, Eva Mendes….flawless and jiggly fine.

 

American Sweethearts George and Julia in Armani accompanied by the crispy namesake himself.

 

I have no idea what Johnny is wearing, but that boy is casket-sharp and ready to meet Jesus

 

Speaking of biblical figures,  Kate Bosworth(in Chanel Couture/Pierre Hardy shoes) and Karl Lagerfeld channel The Harlot of Babylon and Satan, Prince of Darkness

 

Blake Lively is soooo uptown in Ralph Lauren and Harry Winston jewels.  She looks mah’valous……..God forbid that I might actually have to start watching Gossip Girl!

 

Manhattan princess Ivanka Trump in J. Mendel and I still can’t believe that something that looks like The Donald leaked out something this HOT!

 

David and Stick-Figure Spice looking so D’Lushus in Armani, of course, but even if they showed up in fish-fillet McSandwhich wrappers they’d still look HOT & ZEXY!

 

Sarah Michelle looking bored in Calvin Klein, “Can Me Has A Vampire To Slay Now?”

 

My S&TC sweetie Kristin Davis doin Michael Kors justice.  See ya on May 30th mama, then we shall ‘has’ the sex!

 

Don’t know who Venus is wearing, but I DO know she looks gooder than a McRib with extra grease

 

WAMP! Don’t Care!

Janet, Miss Jackson if ya nasty in a white plunging crossback from Atelier Versace

 

Zac Posen ‘doin da fool’ in what I’m sure is his own design.  At least he knows how to accessorize, Nothings cuter than a hot chick on your arm draped in couture.

Donatella Versace and her spawn, draped in faberlouz couture, dazed-confused-and hungrier than 3rd world orphans.

 

Michelle Trachtenberg’s vintage was kind of a good idea not really…….understand? Me neither.

 

I love Fergs in this Calvin Klein but her face would frighten the arizen dead

 

Joy Bryant’s plea for attention……

 

Mrs. Tony Parker lookin’ yummy in Marchesa.  Married Relations do wonders for the complextion……..and the bank account.

 

Giselle and Tommy in Versace…..all’s right in the world.

 

Beyonce’s ba-dunk-a-doo draped in Armani………Oh another chick in Armani, WoW, isn’t that different, cuz nobody else is wearing Armani….

 

What in malnourished, 3rd world hunger, Lord of the Rings hobbit face-ded, cracked out child star hail is goin’ on with the Trolsens desecrating Diane von Furstenberg gowns.  Diane’s gonna be pissed in the morning….

 

A former child star sans extra curricular drugs.  Hilary in Elie Saab and emerald/diamond jewels from Lorraine Schwartz

FASHION WEEK 08′: Z’maji drops the ball…..Thank GAWD for ‘Fashion Indie’

Well Fashnophiles and ‘Slaus’,  I have officially dropped the ball on Fashion Week 08′,  my computer conveniently decided that it would SCREW ME  PRISON STYLE - ‘SANS’ LUBE right before Fashion Week hit.  Well I am so blessed to be a part of the “Fashion Indie N.Y. blog family” becuz they were right in the middle of the Mecca of style and fashion.  Check out their rundown for F.W. 08′.

The top looks and trends from NYC’s week in fashion. By Christene Barberich & Piera Gelardi of Refinary 29.

 In a lot of ways, it was a week of fall fashion that we’re all likely to remember. While the celeb quotient barely registered (save Madonna’s Gucci party), the collections from some of our favorite designers and recent newcomers delivered the real star quality. We loved the gutsy exploration of separates, the new sort of modern femininity, the decadent mash-up of prints, and the exuberant use of off-season fabrics and shades (thanks, Marc). As always, there was plenty that didn’t appeal, too. But we prefer to focus on the positive…and all the looks we’ll be pining for next fall.

1. Grown-up Grunge—We’re not big fans of jumping on the band-wagon, but the nod to grunge this season could not be denied. However, it was the more glamorous interpretations delivered by Preen and Yigal Azrouel that revealed the real nirvana. Pairing big, bulky plaids with a sensuous silky jumper or giving it up in a sexy sheers seemed to hit the mark in a modern way. For guys, the look worked with a thoughtful play on layering (none of that rolling-out-of-bed thing). From left: Preen, Yigal Azrouel, Y-3, Preen

2. Bandleader Jackets—Strike up the band…and that sharply tailored take on the military theme we’ve been seeing season to season. Something about all those gold buttons makes us want to stand up straight and throw our shoulders way back. From left: Temperley, Robert Geller, Rag & Bone

3. Leather Trousers—Damn! We’re not big leather lovers, but these slouchy trousers are insanely tempting not to mention flattering. We adored Marc’s gun-metal gray version and Tim Hamilton even gave his a sweat-pant cut…brilliant. From left: Marc Jacobs, Tim Hamilton, Preen

4. Artsy Acid Wash—Ahh, Karen Walker. Season after season, we can count on the daring New Zealander to bring us something truly cool and covetable. These acid-wash pants skip the retro and go right for the purely modern. We love. From left: Karen Walker, Karen Walker

5. Track Pants—An infatuation with athletic gear has been around for a few seasons, but for some reason the R29 team finds this look undeniably fresh and appealing. A certain restaurant owner dear to our hearts used to wear his track pants with John Varvatos blazers. He should still. From left: Yigal Azrouel, Tim Hamilton

6. Rich Pumpkin—Every season it’s a new shade du jour, and next fall/winter is all about a spicy shade of pumpkin. In shimmery satins and silks, this new shade of burnt orange looks lush and un-trendy. We’ll be wearing it. From left: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Karen Walker, Halston

7. The New Gold—On the heels of the bolder autumn-ready orange, our second-favorite shade was a soft gold, a more modern spin on camel and perhaps the perfect neutral for mixing with all the black in our closets. From left: Donna Karan, DKNY, Ohne Titel

8. Emerald City—Yes, Green is Good. As long as it’s this completely perfect, dramatic shade of deep forest emerald. Proenza Schouler’s take was triumph. From left: Doo.Ri, Proenza Schoueler, Malandrino

9. Pastel Perfection—Marc, Marc, Marc. While his wanton use of springish pastels and exaggerated blousson shapes wasn’t entirely wearable, it made us forget all about the boundaries of fashion’s seasonal expectations. In his world, anything goes. And it usually works in wondrous ways. From left: Dries van Noten, Gianfranco Ferre, Just Cavalli, Ann-Sofie Back

10. Flight Suits—The slinky jumpsuits of season’s past have taken a more militaristic route this season…and we’re loving them. Once again, Yigal and Alex Wang got it just right. From left: Yigal Azrouel, Alexander Wang

11. Satin Dress Pants—References to the ’70s have been turning up less and less, but we’re loving the ever-so-subtle nod to Studio 54 in these modified silky trousers. Paired with Alexander Wang’s boxy blazer or Phillip Lim’s short cropped jacket and knee-high boots, these pants are no doubt millennial perfection. From left: Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Zac Posen

12. Layered Lapels—Give us a big bold lapel any day. Alternately, though, we’re digging fall’s softer, more feminine offering with delicate, face-framing collars and pretty relaxed lapels. From left: Miu Miu, Miu Miu, Viktor & Rolf, Viktor & Rolf

13. Knit Wit—We totally love the return to sweater-dressing and oversized knits, but we’re even more in love with the brazen mash-up of in-your-face knits. Somehow, in all its technicolor insanity, it works. From left: DKNY, Ohne Titel, DKNY

 knitwit_nygreathits.jpg

14. Golden Oldie—Bold gold turned up in a lot of shows, but our favorite sightings we’re the ones in brilliant brocade. A little granny-chic and a whole lot glamorous. Who doesn’t want that 3.1 Phillip Lim coat? From left: 3.1 Phillip Lim, DKNY, Daughters by Obedient Sons

HAUTE Media/Designers: Heatherette Does Not A Supermodel Make

January 21, 2008 · 1 Comment

Heatherette runway show - Make Me A Supermodel

Disclaimer: Pay no mind to the ”he like me, he don’t like me” foolishness at the beginning 

 ……but at least you’ll look like heaven dipped in sparkles.  The ever’glam duo Traver Rains and Richie Rich of Heatherette made a guest appearance on my new fav’rit show, “Make Me A Supermodel”.  Even though I watch talent competition reality shows,  I’m ususally very skeptical of the talent, but I must say that Nikki Taylor & Tyson have found some real gems and having them hit the catwalk in HEATHERETTE!!!  That’s more exciting than a Beyonce ”wardrobe malfunction” 

-Z’maji, ”Oooo, sparkles”

HAUTE Designers: Rami Kashou Storms Fashiondom

November 27, 2007 · 2 Comments

 With a stint in the 15 minute fame lane for being on Project Runway, a new Ready-To-Wear line for Spring/Summer 08′, and A list clients such as Jessica Alba, Fergie & Tyra Banks, Rami Kashou is KIL-LING-IT!  What’s funny is, he’s actually been producing his own line since 2001, but Project Runway has pushed him to the forefront. His peices are classically sophisticated and glamourus with unconventional twists, it makes for beautiful shapes that are unparalleled. I believe the key to his genius is his grasp of drapping the female body, no one drapes high quality fabric like Rami Kashou. He’s quickly becoming the new giant in fashion. Now drool puppets……DROOL I SAY!!!
