So I walk up to this woman who looks pretty good and said “Nice! Who did your dress?” and she says “Marquesa” looking at me like are you on drugs. Maybe because I have photographed her a hundred times and she is Marquesa… Georgina Chapman Weinstein???
Whatever… but seriously how many designers over 21 can wear their own flouncy, fussy micro-mini’s and look this fine? Whitney Port, yeah something evilly luscious about her. FUN! Rembering the time I said to her PR “Tell gorgeous Selita Ebanks, the best thing that could ever happen to her was losing Nick Cannon. What kind of special HELL is he going to live in with Mariah!

Viktor & Rolf: Fall/Winter 2011 - Espace Ephemere Tuileries Paris, France.
Often the simplest of ideas are the most effective in fashion, which was very much the case with the latest runway show, or work or performance art, by Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf. The action opened with veteran, and still skinny, model Kristen McMenamy appearing in ten layers of clothing, a five-foot wide silhouette, looking like she weighed 300 lbs and covered in a dramatic dark fox collar over a boucle wool coat. Next, the designers in black tuxedoes marched her out to a central, slowly turning disc in the middle of their impressive catwalk, composed of an ingenious new industrial print featuring zeppelins, pylons and factory chimneys. As each new model appeared the duo would take one layer off McMenamy, and put it on the newcomer.
Half way through the show, they reversed the process and began dressing the veteran, until she had resumed her monumental size by the end. The collection had the usual Viktor & Rolf preferences, huge triangular lapels, outlandish collars and oversized ruffles, and in a sense, was not terribly ground-breaking. But as a show, it was surely the most brilliantly executed either side of the Atlantic this season. The timing and execution throughout were flawless, in an exemplary display by the team of French show producer Alex de Betak. WWD.com

John Galliano’s fall 2010 collection was an evolution of his spring 2010 ridingwear-inspired couture collection. Today’s show was inspired by the second earl of Rochester, whom Johnny Depp played in the 2004 film The Libertine, and his many mistresses.
Again, Galliano put girls on the runway in long see-through dresses and other lingerie-inspired looks that many designers have given up this season.
With movie stars getting ready for Sunday’s Oscars, front rows in Paris are beginning to boast fewer celebrities. Indeed, Anna Wintour, who attended Dior this morning, but not Lanvin later, is thought to have left Paris already for the Oscars. Instead of entertainers, French finance minister Christine Lagarde and industry minister Christian Estrosi sat front-row at Dior along with Dior spokeswoman Charlize Theron.
