The Weekly DOA

Every Friday, we like to recap the week by picking out the worst outift since the Bjork/Swan/Oscars monstrosity.
In other words; an outfit considered Dead On Arrival.

This week, the winner is......

Agyness Deyn

Strolling the streets of Manhattan on April 5th, Aggy looks like she's been styled by Levi Strauss & Benjamin Moore.
Is that shirt as bad as the Swan dress?  Not quite....but it's close.  Ugh. 

We deserve better from our so-called fashion icons.

Kate Middleton: A Future Queen?

Media is buzzing today with reports of a possible Royal Engagement announcement in June.
Will Prince William finally pop the question to long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton?
It's a delicious thought.

Kate will make a great Queen--she wears hats well:

Model Elettra Wiedemann

Elettra Wiedemann, daughter of Isabella Rossellini covers the May edition of Elle Canada:

She's a Lancome spokesmodel, following in Mom's footsteps:

However, she's not just another pretty face with a famous family.  She's currently completing her master's degree in biomedicine at The London School of Economics.

If I looked like this, the last thing I would want to do is study but....to each their own

Proof that good looks don't skip a generation in this family:

MYMU Espadrilles

Gabriela Lanardonne, the creator behind MYMU launched her adorable Espadrilles line yesterday:

During her summer vacations in her father's native Buenos Aires as a child, the designer fell in love with the alpargatas (a style of espadrille) that all the stylish Argentine girls were wearing.

Made of high quality jute and other fabrics from Spain, she built her designs with style and comfort in mind. 
Prices start at $98

Check out her website and shop till you drop!

I Love You Tube: THIERRY MUGLER/GEORGE MICHAEL "Too Funky" video

This is why I love You Tube; you can literally find something new everyday.  And if you're really lucky (like I was today) you could stumble upon a gem like this: A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Too Funky video, circa 1992  (watch for newbie Tyra!)




Here's the video in its entirety--I couldn't embed

Thierry Mugler is brilliant, non?  And just sooo French. 




Sigh. I miss the 90's.  And fashion misses Thierry Mugler.

The Wild Bunch

From the beach, to the street, to the home...from Dries Van Noten to Oscar de la Renta to Diane Von Furstenberg....most fashion's biggies (and home decor biggies) have gone Tribal on us:

Rockocracy: Amber Le Bon

What do you get when you combine a world famous Rock Star and a Supermodel?

Amber Le Bon

On the cover of Tatler magazine for March, Amber Le Bon is wearing a floral Dolce & Gabanna dress, sprawled on a couch with the caption ‘Girl on Film; Amber Le Bon is ready for her close-up'

She’s five-foot-10 and all legs so it’s only natural for her to follow in her Mom's (Yasmin Le Bon) footsteps.

She says she knows the Daisy Lowe’s and the Geldof girls (they went to Prep school together) of the Rockocracy but doesn’t hang out with them.
I guess when you look this good, you don’t have to run around getting drunk and stupid (and tattooed) in the East End of London.


Here’s Amber on the catwalk with Mom (Chanel Show A/W 1991 RTW) at the age of 2, in her very own Chanel onesie.
Amber: “I popped out of a handbag. But I don’t remember it!”

Take that, Suri Cruise!
