Most of these designers stack the front row with womens who dont buy a thing. Here is a women who is actuially spending $. With regards to the black man she is seen around town with, surely you are referring to Malcolm Harris. He is the founder of the One Dress project which connects sorporate sposorships and individual philathropist to a host of womens charity causes throughout Africa. He is another genuinely beautiful soul in a sea of fashion vapidness.Geoffrey Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-19090731695571050232010-11-19T09:55:17.830-05:002010-11-19T09:55:17.830-05:00Her hair is far too reminiscent of Cruella-de-Vill...Her hair is far too reminiscent of Cruella-de-Ville; it is not flattering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-37563830845508679252010-10-22T11:30:59.628-04:002010-10-22T11:30:59.628-04:00Art needs Patrons.

Ahandful of Ana Piaggis wardrobe went for auction at Christie's (illustrations by Karl Lagerfeld) and while now it seems eclectic, it was a wardrobe of eccentricity and creativity and what a collection it would be. The same with Lynn Wyatt and again for whatever reason. In some ways the great collectors that are sharing the stories along with the clothes are like cave dwellers doing those drawings on the well. It tells everything from excess to loss, to refinement and vulgarity.<br /><br />The museums, alas and alack, often don't have access and put together clumsy renditions of what was once everything to someone.<br /><br />Glad Ms. Blow's collection is intact and sad sad sad that we lack the knowledge to help anyone committed to the impulse of self destruction.<br /><br />For me it's about the clothes, the designer and samples are worn and shattered by editors, not kept in pristine glamorous condition.madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03752020212473381111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-9937942760005595802010-08-11T20:57:35.890-04:002010-08-11T20:57:35.890-04:00In order for criticism to have any value, it shoul...In order for criticism to have any value, it should not be politically correct. Personally, I don't see Ms. Guinness as a stylish woman but maybe she is just making some kind of existential statement. I am puzzled by the attention that is given to ladies like Ms. Guinness and Ms. Russo. Its a jaded view of fashion - not like some of the other women you mentioned here- Wallis, Jackie or Babe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-82462257716304284422010-08-10T21:33:50.101-04:002010-08-10T21:33:50.101-04:00Being critical is what we can do in between ACTUAL...Being critical is what we can do in between ACTUALLY doing something.

She is "the ultimate consumer." Um, hurray? And she is "doing something." By which she means? Consuming - and making a spectacle of herself.<br /><br />There's nothing wrong with consumption, and I'm all for putting on a show. But it's also worth taking a critical look at both these things, which I think is what Fluff intended.st. valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887903873237274402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-14228843872720694262010-08-08T21:39:55.044-04:002010-08-08T21:39:55.044-04:00fluff,

It's something that's stayed with me my whole adult life and I still am racked with anger and feelings of responsibility for something I could not change.

Friends and family can give their all to help a suicidal person but fail. If they could will a person to have mental health, of course they would, but it can't necessarily be done. Trust me, I've tried and I've seen others try, and there are people who are so sick that even as you're pleading, "Don't do it!" they do it. Even people in the mental health profession can't always save someone. No one should be assigned any blame in Isabella Blow's death by observers who don't know what went on behind closed doors.WendyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985099019783464580noreply@blogger.com
