GREY is the english spring/

It def rains in England, but Gareth Pugh's spring collection opened up the Paris season on a ray of sunshine; gorgeous grey clouds shining through with detail and workmanship at an incredible presentation. The Hot hot hot backstage was an understatement of a makeup sauna that was one of the most calm I can remember. Who would have thought..  No complaints, no screaming, just a walk in the rain.

HOW sweet it is/

D+G this afternoon, and I just could not get enough. The girls loved the dresses, everyone loves Dominico and Stefano, and hopefully you'll love the photos. Here's a small selection of the collection - a period drama that was fun and brought everyone to the opera:

ASIAN Import / US Export

Looking back on NY, and it's bit of a blur. Yes, there were more presentations than usual - but still plenty of shows. Among those, of course, a few stand out more than others - and many of the top collections happen to be from Asian Americans. I'm talking specifically about Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Doo.Ri, and Richard Chai. Here's a few from Alex's show on Feb 14 at the Roseland Ballroom. Let me know what you think:

WHEN good photographers / go bad

"Greg," I'm told, "lets do the photo, but I want to have a cigarette first." "Sure," I respond, "find me when you're back." Many minutes go by, and many more after that... and something just doesn't seem right. The Preen show is waiting for a line up but where are the girls? Where are the girls?!

That's it, I've had enough. I kick in the door to the women's restroom, and amongst a sea of horrific screams, I find 8 of the most beautiful girls - chatting, smoking, and shrieking w/ laughter! Now girls will be girls, but with guns blazing like an 80s action movie, I shot holes in the room. Here's a pic from the blood bath, smoke, laughter and all:  

Preen by the way, one of the best shows of the day.
