I loved the Marc Jacobs shoes from Spring 2008. It looks like Net a Porter is actually selling the Marc Jacobs Backward heel shoes. I haven’t seen them for sale anywhere yet. I was hoping Holt Renfrew would get a few in so I could at least touch them. They are damn expensive though, $1100!

Well, well, everyone wants Hunter boots now. Even my friend MJ jumped on the bandwagon which totally surprised me. You should see the looks we get when he’s wearing his black ones and I’m wearing my blue ones. We look like a crazy couple that dresses alike, thought MJ is the better dressed one. Just to let the guys know, Hunter’s are a unisex boot. So if anyone tells you they are a girl’s boot, they are completely wrong. Make sure you let them know that the Duke of Wellington is rolling in his grave at the suggestion. So here is an updated list for where to buy Hunter boots aka Wellys in Toronto Get Outside – They carry a range of colours. I really want a yellow pair. Heel Boy – Carrys Hunters in a variety of colours. The website is annoying – content not music people. It looks half finished. That being said, it’s a great store for shoes. The Bay apparently is carrying them also. If you’ve seen Hunters around, please leave …
This could be interesting. Linda and Naomi for Fall 2008. Rumor has it that Prada is set to join in on the resurgence the 90s supermodel. Often touted for being on the forefront of trends Prada could follow in the foot steps of Chanel and Louis Vuitton by using a 90s supermodel. Prada campaign photographer Steven Meisel is shooting Linda Evangelista reportedly for the Prada Fall-Winter 2008.2009 campaign. A trusted source tells us not to get over excited as Linda Evangelista could also be shooting a Vogue Italia Cover.

Mass Exodus 2008 I attended my first Mass Exodus show. For those of you that don’t know, Mass Exodus is Ryerson’s fashion show for graduating students. I attended the press and industry show, so we saw the top 20 collections of the graduating class. It was interesting to watch Mass Exodus because it’s raw. These kids haven’t been broken down by the industry or have had there creativity stifled – well maybe the teachers helped there, but I can’t say for sure. They are excited about fashion and that is wonderful. The production value of the show was excellent. The theater department was involved and there was a large set, smoke machines, lights and video. It was well organized and executed. I heard about the excessive number of swimwear and lingerie collections last year but this year there was only one and it was pretty good. I thought the bottom could have used some more fabric though. Not many collections grabbed me to be honest. Some kids were drinking way too much of the 80s …
I miss the old days of the Supermodel. Look at these women. They wouldn’t get work in 2008. See how damn young Naomi is? After my Sasha post you would think that I’m all about the uber skinny model, I’m not. I like the freaks, to be honest. I mean that in the nicest way possible. I just find the unusual ones more interesting to look at. Images like this does give me the shivers. via Fashionista – I Don’t Care What My Teachers Say, I’m Gonna Be A Supermodel
Alexander McQueen Wing embroidered dress I was a fan of Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2008 collection. A friend who was a the show was a little creeped out by all the feathers. I thought it was stunning. The wings also fold back for other looks. Great Alexander McQueen toe box shoes! I’ve seen the shoes at Holt’s. images: net-a-porter.com
I was reading ONTD and saw a post called Posh’s Jeans Blues: Sales Disappoint on dVb Line. Here’s a quote: The blogosphere has been buzzing with reports that Victoria Beckham’s dVb denim line is being dropped from several top retailers, including L.A.’s famous Fred Segal and Kitson boutiques. Turns out that while the line isn’t dropped from Kitson, it’s definitely not performing up to expectation — and that’s being attributed to Posh’s laissez-faire attitude. Kitson owner Fraser Ross tells PEOPLE, “She’s not supporting the line. It’s not good for her brand and not good for her endorsements. In a tough economy, you need to be in partnership with the people that are selling your line to your fans. That’s the bottom line. This got me thinking, do celeb lines actually sell? I see a lot of it on the sales racks and in resellers like Winners, *cough*HOUSE OF DEREON*cough*, so they can’t be doing that well. Kate Moss’s line at Topshot started off with a lot of buzz but has downturned quickly. Now you might …
I had to disable them today because their server issues were preventing my site from loading. It would be nice if the postreach people would update their blog when this kinda thing happens. I think I’ll be looking for a WordPress plugin that does something similar. I really don’t want site loading because of someone else’s server issues.
