"Curvy" Lily

Take a good look at the first picture here of supermodel Lily Donaldson, in the blue dress.

The fashion world describes her figure now as "slightly curvier".

Ahummm.

There weren´t many designers that blew me away this season.
So much black and reserved fashion and in literally EVERY review there was talk about the recession.
Can´t we spare fashion from that talk? I don´t know about you but I fell in love with the fashion world because of its great escapism.
Dan and Dean didn´t exactly reinvent the weel for Dsquared but I like how they mixed streetwear with fancy red carpet wear-and played with the Olsen twins and co image (Starbucks, anyone?)

A Literali

Wow, this is a small pic-but these ads have been banned in Italy , they think it´s bad for the Police´s reputation or something. Answer me this: Am I wrong to find them sexy?

:-D

I hate it when people get too literal ...

Funky Heels

There have been some seriously funky heels on the runways for next fall.

I Like the Prada Boots, they remind me of the typical Icelandic old fashioned boots you just throw on to go out in the rain or do your gardening in!

Tilda,Tilda,Tilda

I adore Tilda Swinton.

What an amazing talent she is.

She wears stuff noone else could possibly make so cool, interesting and unique. She gets away with amazingly brave fashion choices and wears no make up!

She´s a smart cookie, you get the point-I´m smitten with Tilda Swinton.

Tilda Swinton is a talented Academy Award-winning actress. But that's probably not as important as the fact that she didn't wear any makeup to said awards ceremony. Right? Right. As such, The New York Times Style Magazine's Alex Kuczynski sat down with Tilda to talk about the mask of makeup that separates many women, and a few historic sad clowns, from the world:
The virginity of her unpainted flesh made everyone around her look like a crowd of aging, insecure hookers. I admired her for going without a double deck of fake eyelashes, for braving the television lights without a whisper of powder or blush for being what passes for naked in Hollywood in front of millions, if not billions, of people. On television, she looked like a fabulous alien. In person, people must have stopped and stared. Dont you think the other actresses must have gossiped to one another in the bathroom? We think they were too busy aging hookerishly. Also, even though Alex Kuczynski is, like all Alex's, completely bath**** crazy, we've got to admit that she knows her way around a nice descriptive paragraph. She describes Tilda as she applies a Pierrotesque mask of colors:
Swinton wears makeup in this portrait to mock it, its application a farce. Crayons and unguents dare to mimic real beauty; here, she mocks them. They are clearly paint, an overlay, a spackle that disfigures her real face. Any woman who has used spackle that disfigures her real face. Any woman who has used makeup can look at this photo and imagine the actual shades in the service of beauty, and realize, with a shudder, that there is nothing more yearning and sinister than a womans face covered in carefully applied paint, mascara and shadow.Obvious and kind of a pretentious, overblown depiction of what amounts to a slightly self-important actress playing with lipstick, but, still. Nice imagery! Which brings us to our question for you: What, exactly, are we doing when we put on makeup? Masking age? Highlighting positive attributes? Lying? We remember reading somewhere that, subconsciously, women apply lipstick and gloss in order to make their mouth more resemble labia. Which is silly, because that's what our piercings are for. And why be redundant? We admit that we love playing with makeup - using crazy (tacky) colors and glitter and laying on heavy liquid eyeliner so that we look not unlike a 14-year-old Hot Topics enthusiast named Raven. But we've recently been troubled by the realization that we never leave the house without makeup. We just feel kind of vulnerable and plain without it. So, lately, we've been venturing out more and more with less or no makeup at all, just to make ourselves uncomfortable. But... would you? Have you? Do share, Aging Hooker Clowns. Do share

Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto from Slumdog is one of the most stunningly gorgeous woman around today. Her fashion choices have been really beautiful and appropriate as well.

I see a bright star in the making-and a lucrative cosmetics campaign in the future for this Indian stunner! :)

This & that from Fall ´09 Milan

These gorgeous assymetrical & luxurious fur coats were all over the Milan runways for fall ´09.
Also still a big trend: over the top knitwear, that I´m loving.
I´ve always had the hots for bright & hot pink too and the rock and rolla short sequined dress can´t go wrong either.
The make up at Allesandro Dell´Acqua was very sculptured and bronzy.
