“In other Balenciaga news, noticeably absent from Thursday’s front row was French Vogue editor in chief Carine Roitfeld and her team. They were barred from the show. “We’re blacklisted,” Roitfeld said with a shrug at Nina Ricci later in the day. “It’s too bad, it’s a beautiful house and it’s French. I hope that it’s not forever.” She noted Balenciaga no longer advertises in the magazine or lends it clothes, but stopped short of giving any reason for the rift. “Ask them,” she offered. A Balenciaga spokesman declined comment.” [WWD]
…Fashion journalists walk a fine line between doing their jobs and not pissing off designers…
The latest high-profile ban is rather shocking. Balenciaga has severed ties (undoubtedly temporarily) with French Vogue. Carine Roitfeld and her editors did not attend yesterday’s fall 2010 show in Paris…[The Cut]
Indeed, fashion is the only creative field that attempts to bar the news media…What being banned tells me is that fashion has entered a borderland between the old and the new [Nytimes]
“A homeless man in China has developed an Internet following of thousands who admire his “good looks” and “bohemian dress sense,” the Independent reports. The man lives in Ningbo, and is referred to on the net as “Beggar Prince,” “Handsome Vagabond,” and, most commonly, “Brother Sharp.” One commenter wrote in response to a picture comparing him to a look from the latest Dolce & Gabbana” [the Cut]
“He is 5ft 8in, around 35 years old, and always has a cigarette between his fingers. He also appears to have a fondness for women’s clothes, which has only served to fuel his status as a fashion icon. His good looks are reminiscent of popular Asian actors like Takeshi Kaneshiro or the Oscar- nominated Ken Watanabe.” [The Independent]

I like the new S/S 2012 collection. Appreciating this collection gives me a feeling as if going into a wild worl. The long flowing pastel skirts are very attracitive.2
I love the earrings!3
this is too cool! i would love a room full of these illustrations4
I tend to be less is more as well. The exception is when someone is a master of using colour and textures and this is a perfect example. Olio by Marilyn5
great pictures!!! wonderful!!!xxxxxxxxhttp://3maigloeckchen.blogspot.de6
ooh I love the techno inspired hair7
Indeed , these images are messing with my head . i cant figure out is it seduction or curiosity .8
Fusing glass is a whole lot of fun and having your own kiln rather than having to rent kiln time can make it much more enjoyable.9
Beautiful! Has inspired me to tackle a neon x pastel outfit....pared with the palest Irish skin? Now that's what one calls a challenge!10
très fort et très beau
