“I don’t know what are. I think people make them up, and then they say, ‘Oh yeah, yellow’s really in this season.’ Sometimes there are obvious trends, but there aren’t any at the moment I can think of. Are there? It’s bullshit. Trends are a lie magazines make up so you feel like you have to buy something.”
— Alexa Chung on [fashion] trends.
“I’ve always said that in this industry you have to accept that there is always, always going to be someone ahead of you on the masthead, prettier, better dressed, skinnier, with more money, more respected, invited to more parties and smarter than you. So really you just have to do you and do you the best you can.”
—Mary-Kate Steinmiller
“I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring. To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I’ve got books I need to read. More people should read books.”
— Vivienne Westwood
Into The Blue: It was pretty evident that Robert Geller was a little all over the place when designing his Spring 2012 menswear collection. Where was his man going? Or better yet: Where was his man coming from? Was he Amish? Was he a man stranded on a tropical deserted island? He could have been a rebellious street punk for all we know.

Plastic Perfection: Actor Taylor Lautner is either wearing more foundation than Eddie Murphy in Boomerang and/or is retouched to the point of no return for the cover of the Fall 2011 edition of VMan, interestingly titled “The Archetypes Issue”. I guess the archetype Mr. Lautner is going for is plastic action figure.
Hungry For Fashion: There’s fast food, but there’s also “fashfood”.
Miss September: Superstar Jennifer Lopez graces the cover of Vanity Fair’s September 2011 installment, also known as the magazine’s annual Style Issue. Photographed for the cover by none other than Mario Testino, she “exclusively” opens up to writer Lisa Robinson about her life post-Mark Anthony. I think what everyone cares about the most is how she maintains her flawless appearance. Divorce has never looked so good!
Digital Dolce: On the day of the launch of their new online store, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana sit down with BoF editor Imran Amed in an exclusive interview to discuss the digital strategy for their business.
“Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious. But above all black says this: “I don’t bother you - don’t bother me”.”

“Look around you. Better yet, look in the mirror. Are you the victim? After a deeply scientific, irrefutable poll, we gathered, analyzed, and ranked the most sartorially-challenged metropolises in the greater United States. It may be time to plan that move you’ve been thinking about.” - GQ
