Movie Premiere: Iron Man

I heard this movie was RIDICULOUS. I'm going to go see it once I finish this damn Art History paper. *sigh*

As for fashion inspired by Iron Man, I suggest hardware, and lots of it!


Try this Herve van der Straeten cuff, or more realistically, these bangles from Forever 21.


Footwear?

Bruno Frisoni pumps or Celine t-strap heels from alloy.com ("Celine" is the name of the shoe, not the brand).


Lest you think I'm sending you out naked as a jaybird...

Stella McCartney rhinestone paillette minidress and Twelve by Twelve studded minidress.

I am, however, letting you go without a bag -- I have to get back to my paper!

P.S. I hope you like the newfangled photos I put together!

Men's fashion

It seems that men.style.com is predicting a hippie influence for men's fashion, citing Birkenstock-like sandals, flower prints and light denim as the newest trends.

God, I hope not.





What is UP with homeboy #3's pompadour? I don't see this becoming a trend past a few men who are really into fashion or can afford designer clothes from the runway. I could, however, see this being more popular if the flowers shrink in size... like in a fabric that you couldn't tell was a floral until you got closer... Damn, I wish I could create textiles.

Yuck.

I was hoping style.com's slideshow on Klimt would change my mind about the artist, but it actually just made me think that he really should not be taken as a fashion inspiration.


Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907)


Christian Dior Haute Couture, Spring 2008

Yes, yes, I know it's haute couture... but the ready-to-wear clothing inspired by Klimt isn't much nicer.


Anna Sui

I will say, however, that this clutch is quite nice. Stunning, even.



Christian Lacroix


Obviously, someone likes this stuff, but it's just NOT my bag -- pun unintended.

All photos from style.com, of course.

Newsflash!

iht.com, the International Herald Tribune, has a newly revamped Style section. It's much easier to navigate, and has a much better layout now. Check it out!

I "discovered" iht.com about two summers ago, and since then, I get all of my news (style, culture, world news, you name it) from there. Plus, they have this awesome real estate section where you can drool over French chateaus that cost 800 million Euros. How do you even make that much money?
