What do you think about Lady Gaga?
Such a gimmick. I liker her but sometimes she kills me. Like is she seriously the same person on stage and offstage. I’m soon to be over it.

Ya its a bit much.
I told my friend and we didn’t agree. Her outfit for the Grammy’s killed me. Seriously? At least wear Dior Couture if you want crazy not a pink space bubble tube..

Thank You!!!
I really think Armani should have said “Oh honey no, we love you but this is not part of our DNA. Call Thierry Mugler or Bob Mackie”.

Exactly!
Lady Gaga Orbits Earth at the 2010 Grammy Awards in ArmaniPARIS—In between fashion shows Monday, Anna Wintour, the influential editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, told French officials that the country doesn’t do enough to support its fashion sector, industry minister Christian Estrosi said.
Ms. Wintour encouraged the French government to provide more backing for young designers, according to Mr. Estrosi.
“She’s right” that France falls short in backing its fashion industry, Mr. Estrosi said during a press conference at which Ms. Wintour rescinded her presence. “Everyone knows the role Anna plays in making New York a great fashion capital. My objective was to benefit from her experience.”

This whole extreme Photoshop business has me thinking, can we really put an end to it? This is where it gets complicated, Photoshop is needed in the industry but it is widely misused. How do you fix it? Well you can’t. Because in order to fix it you’d have to get everybody who uses it on board. I think publishers can start by doing their part to not abuse it, but what about the ads? Even if a magazine chose to be fair when editing its images you still have the ads which are sometimes produced elsewhere. Which would leave the consumer with a conflicting message, ” We respectively use Photoshop, but can’t say the same for our advertisers”. Also when flipping through the pages of the magazine you’d start to notice the difference between real and overly edited subjects. So what can the industry do? Everyone needs to do their part and use Photoshop with restraint and years down the road we may see a difference. If not Abode will create a Photoshop face mask so that we may always look our very best, whether we’re doing laundry or running over people in the Hamptons with our Mercedes M-Class (I miss Lizzie Grubman).

(NEW YORK) What do Marc Jacobs and Nathalie Rykiel have in common, besides the whole designer thing? Today, both were awarded with the medal of Arts and Letters by the French government. Translation? They are now officially knights in France’s Order of Arts and Letters.
Culture minister Francois Mitterand bestowed upon Jacobs and Rykiel this afternoon at the French culture ministry in Paris. According to the AP, he reffered to Jacobs as “an iconic designer, a gifted person, but also a hard worker.” Jacobs wrote–and delivered–his speech in French.
