Vogue's Guide to Fall 2012 Fashions

Along with ridiculous "dark" make-up and the nude lip (I didn't even realize the nude lip had ever "left", darlings! -- it's my usual look, topped only by cherry-flavoured Chapstick or the cheap Walgreen's substitute), the SHEATH in its latest incarnation is baaaacccckkkkk.....

What is ridiculous?  This shape is blah and the proportions are AWFUL - look at where the sleeves cut off the model's arms!  The color is lovely, but this dress reminds me of spring, not the autumnal equinox.  My wrists would be constantly freezing!  The styling isn't great, either.  MISS!  This dress from the Calvin Klein Collection, New York.

What is perfection?  When I saw this dress my breath involuntarily sucked in and I went oooooooh!  It's rich, it's gorgeous, it's lucious.  Love the length, which gives some coverage on a chilly day, love love love the cut!  Look at what he did with that fabulous neckline!  Oh my!  This dress would be perfect to ward off the drafts from an errant HVAC system (such as that which exists in the building in which I work, where I am either freezing cold or semi-suffocated with hot blasts of air between 2:30 and. 3:30 p.m. every afternoon...)  WIN!  MEGA WIN!  This dress from Haider Ackermann,

Paris.

I'm so happy Vogue has so much of its content now available online for free - check it out, beautiful visuals even when you don't like all the silly crap they do to these too skinny women. This is not a paid advertisement for Vogue.  I don't do that "monetizing" thing.  To each their own!

All the International Vogue Editors Will Hang Out Together for the Very First Time Next Month October 11, 2011

This apparently unprecedented moment of unity will take place at Japan Fashion's Night Out, which will be hosted by Vogue Nippon editor Mitsuko Watanabe in Tokyo on November 5. British Vogue reports that this is the very first time that Alexandra Shulman, Anna Wintour, Franca Sozzani, and Emmanuelle Alt have banded together for a social function. Hopefully the Milan scheduling debacle will be straightened out by then, because otherwise there might be some tension in the room. (On the other hand, if things are all resolved on that front, it'll be super laid-back and no one will judge each other and everybody will do shots together, like normal Vogue parties!)


I know that Anna Wintour is NY Vogue and Franca Sozzani is Vogue Italia.  Evidently Shulman is British Vogue.  Does that mean Alt is Paris Vogue?  I don't know how old Sozzani is, but she has not aged very well - unless she's 100.  I read recently that Anna Wintour is 62.  She looks great - wonder if she's had "work" done on that face?  She hasn't changed her hairstyle in about 40 years.  No wierdo hairdos for that lady, nosiree.  She knows what suits her and she keeps it. 

Some of the comments!  LOL!  I thought this one was hilarious:
