She Walks the Line
Model Iselin Steiro gets a gradual deathrock makeover for the March Issue of Interview. Somehow I’m betting no actual supermodel coiffure was harmed in the making of this editorial, but the juxtaposition of dramatic hair and makeup with soft, feminine wardrobe works well. I remain unconvinced on the vacuum-as-accessory concept, however.

Suit Up!
Hermes Fall / Winter 2010
When I grow up to be a cigar smoking James Bond secret agent, I’ll be wearing this.
Christian Dior Fall / Winter 2010
I get that John Galliano was going for equestrian for Christian Dior’s Fall / Winter 2010 show, but all I can think is BROWN GAWTH! Replace some of those beaded necklaces with some keys and gears, and you’ve got a steampunk-a-go-go.
Regardless of my snark, I am quite fond of the line – especially those crochet stay-ups and deep burgundies.
Medieval McQueen : The Final Collection
Despite the collection being only 80% completed at the time of his death, Alexander McQueen’s final (and this time I’m sure) 16 pieces showcased a romantic and medieval inspired theme.
“He wanted to get back to the handcraft he loved, and the things that are being lost in the making of fashion. He was looking at the art of the Dark Ages, but finding light and beauty in it. He was coming in every day, draping and cutting pieces on the stand,” said Sarah Burton, his right-hand.
Sadly, the McQueen empire will not be taken over by Gareth Pugh as we had previously heard, states Pugh’s spokespeople. Sad days, my friends, sad days.
