“I, for one, am over the mania for the high, high heel. Too many career women look like a herd of fashion beasts, aping one another in impractical shoes.” —Andre Leon Talley
I'm not sure how I could have missed this, but this week is SPARKLE WEEK. Mayor Bloomberg proclaimed this week Sparkle Week in an effort to boost falling jewelry sales. So head on over to the Diamond District and check out the events!
Meet Arlo Weiner, son of Mad Men creator Matt Weiner. He is 8 years old and my new style icon... Check out this GQ story on him (don't forget to look through the slideshow)!
I don't really like Little J, mostly because, as Eric pointed out last night she is "So annoying." But this video of Taylor Momsen escaping the paparazzi is actually pretty funny and would make for an interesting Nike ad.
If this is indeed a Nike ad then Momsen completes the Gossip Girl Sneaker Ad Trifecta, joining Ed Westwick (K Swiss) and Leighton Meester (Reebok).
I'm just loooving this image of Olympic Gold Medal winner Nastia Liukin from BCBG's Spring/Summer 09 Campaign. I love that Max Azria chose this strong, beautiful woman to showcase his clothes. I love how refreshing it is to see a pose that encourages a healthy lifestyle (as opposed to the hunched over and sickly high fashion pose that is so popular).
Max Azaria had this to say about choosing Nastia : "The Spring collection was inspired by movement and modern dance so she was perfect. It was meant to be, the magic just sort of happened."
