Vergara’s latest partnership with K-Mart aims at bringing stylish, flattering and fashion-conscious clothing to women and inevitably hope to transform the chain’s image from drab to super-fab…but then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder…and this line is anything but beautiful.

It’s understandable that the hot new career move in Hollywood is to go from screen siren to fashion maven – and Vergara certainly has a sassy style – but what about when this career switch goes terribly wrong? [Read more...]

When your clients include the ultra-outrageous Lady Gaga and Brooklyn-based MGMT, normal is just not in your vocabulary.

It’s true, the purpose of a runway presentation is first and foremost to draw attention to your collection, well French-born Charlie Le Mindu did just that.

Le Mindu stayed true to his outlandish reputation, shocking guests at his London show earlier this week by sending his models down the catwalk adorned in Noritaka Tatehana pink platforms, his one-of-a-kind headpieces and nothing else. [Read more...]

Concerts like these are 50-50; you either support them or feel that they are major publicity stunts. But aside from that, it is my personal belief that there should be taste, respect and tact shown amongst those who choose to participate.

I thought Kurt Cobain [Read more...]
