Today's Fashion Week Moment(s)
Thursday, February 18, 2010
Even more hypnotically soothing than Puppycam: watching Gareth Pugh make a (pretty sick, totally work-appropriate, we swear) dress. It is perfectly satisfying with the sound off if you are, you know, at work or something dumb like that; but you won't get to hear the part about seven minutes in where he's all like, "Ah shit, I foocked up the shoulder," in his charming little accent. The link opens a really dumb video of Raquel Zimmerman gyrating around; click on the 'Process' video below it. COME ON GO THERE WITH US. Talking about publishing all the time is BOOOOOOOORING.
Also! speaking of fashions! Dean Spade is currently #1 on our fiancé/es list. Hot damn. Read Dean's whole article here; it is 100% guaranteed to make you smarter.
Also! Threadbared blog is BANANAS AWESOME. This blog is equally #1 on our fiancé/es list, because we are totally pomo like that.
YES we are going to talk about fashions all week IT IS FASHION WEEK, PEOPLE, and LIKE WE SAID PUBLISHING IS KIND OF BORING. You should see what passes for fashions in THIS office. What these people would do without us, we have no idea.

Is she dancing with a BROOM? Okay, that's it. I'm going to do all my housekeeping in designer dresses, dancing to Pokerface from now on. I think it will immensely improve my attitude towards the task.
I worked in a call center once where "dressing up" meant stretch pants.
*shudder*
Le R, were we separated at birth? I love clothes, and watching this sewing porn makes my heart gleeful. Plus, I look like 50% of the people over there at your Hel-Looks link, in face if not in style. Are you secretly a Finnish descended short person, too?
Dear Lucy, we are French and almost six feet tall. But we really like snow.
Le R, if you are almost 6', then you could TOTALLY rock that dress :). I'm only 5'9", and completely jealous right now.
A (nearly) six-foot Frenchie skull-face on a horse AND wearing that rockin' dress?
I'd like to put you on the cover of my next fantasy novel. Haven't written it yet, but that awesome cover deserves to be seen. I'm up for writing a story to match.
I'd love to see a fashion show of the people in your office. hehe
Okayokayokay...the broom thing got me totally thinking...
I need this dress in order to get any housework done from here on in.
Here's the wild thing- once The Husband sees this dress, he's going to agree!
That literally *is* made from the fabric of awesome, no?
Speaking of pretty: do you think he has any idea how pretty he is? He doesn't strike me as the sort of person who has any idea how pretty he is.
Ah, so we are opposites! All the good super-hero teams are.
You should meet my daughter. She landed an internship with a designer that took her backstage dressing the models last Friday.
After the show, I checked out all the reviews of her designer's fall line. It was like looking for reviews of my book, because these things make a difference for the designers too.
WHICH DESIGNER WHICH DESIGNER!?!
Dare you to wear it to work!
Ooh, that video was cool! Really interesting to see the process.
Also, he is gorgeous.
LeR: SHUT UP. I am almost six feet tall! That is so crazy! We are, like, twins separated at birth!
Except that you live in New York and no matter where I move it is a mid-sized Southern town with a large military base and paper mills perfuming the tri-county area with fart blossoms.
I shall live vicariously through my helmet wearing twin. All the rewards, none of the risks. Boo-yah!
